Blogs about soaring and aviation
Blogs (web logs) are a rather new type of web site where the author
periodically adds new articles about current events or simply his thoughts about a subject. As with RAS and other forums, helpful comments and additions are welcomed. Unlike on RAS, rants are not so welcome. :-) I have found just a few blogs on the subject of soaring and aviation in general. Here are three I know of... if you know of others, please reply and I'll keep adding to the list of links to blogs on my site. My own blog about learning to soar is at http://rogersoaring.blogspot.com/ Jeremy Zawodny writes about soaring and much more http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog MyFlightBlog: a power pilot's learning experiences http://www.myflightblog.com/index.php If anyone is interested in how to create a blog, I could post a few pointers. It's pretty easy, and blog sites are available for free. One nice feature some blogs offer is the ability to post articles automatically via email (from authorized authors). This allows for dynamic updates, i.e. "notes from the field" can be sent from a connected laptop, a wireless PDA such as a Blackberry, or even text messages from a cell phone. This could be extremely useful for contest results, weather condition reporting, etc. |

Caution!
Imbedded in the message below my dotted line there is the address for a blog for a power pilot's experiences Inside that blog there is a comment about a Google program for viewing airports as follows: Google Earth - A Great Pre-Flight Tool google_earth_meigs_thumb.jpgWhen was the last time you flew to a new airport? In preparing for that flight you obviously reviewed your flight with the use of a sectional chart. You probably also reviewed information about your destination airport in your FAA Airport/Facility Directory. But, you still really don't know what to expect upon when you began to arrive at the new airport. Google has launched a beta product called Google Earth which can be downloaded for free and can be a nice aid to pilots. The program lets you fly around a 3D globe, with overhead satellite photos, tilted 45-degree photos, 3D rendered buildings, and overlays that display everything from roads to hotels to bike routes. One caution is that most of the images are several years old so they may not be very accurate. But, since the images are old I was able to see a satellite view of Meigs field. Google Earth added in the buildings so I could have visualized what it would be like to fly into Meigs field. I downloaded this program and it began installation. It demanded to know the password for my email account. I gave a false password and the program would not continue. DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD! I think this is bogus, just like some of the false eBay and PayPal messages.

The support forum for GE has a couple of notes that may apply. The free
version of GE should not ask for a login and password. If you had previously downloaded Keyhole (which is the engine behind GE), it will ask for your email address and password. I know it did for me... and puzzled me for a minute. I don't think it's validating against your email account. I think I used a different password from my email account for Keyhole, and entered that password when starting GE. Does this fit your situation? Did you try Keyhole before?
