A heartfelt thank you
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants (well,
except for maniac) in this group. Lurking here, reading your stories, arguments keeps the dream alive for me. We may be a fickle bunch including myself, but when it comes down to the world of flying, we join hands *smile* If you ever find your way down to the deep south, look me up at KMBO. I'll take you up for free as there is nothing like the pleasures of sharing the magic of flight. I will go back to lurking now. Nah, don't do that, lurkers don't make the group what it is. If you get board and want to see some of my flying video's go to ..http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=mbo%20lieberman. High bandwidth recommended and you can download the videos to your local computer (plays back better). Welcome to our small corner of the world! Allen |

Glad to have ya...
We sometimes forget how many folks may be just lurking out there...absorbing the info...or watching the fracas... Best of luck with your training.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants (well,
except for maniac) in this group. Lurking here, reading your stories, arguments keeps the dream alive for me. Welcome, sir! You will find this to be an outstanding source of information, inspiration, and (occasionally) frustration -- and it's always good to remember that the advice you receive here is worth precisely what you paid for it. Just 12 years ago, I was in your shoes. In that decade-plus, aviation has literally changed my life -- 100% for the better, I might add. My wife and I have flown our kids from coast-to-coast, seeing things, visiting places, and meeting people that would have been completely impossible without general aviation. Don't wait to take flight lessons! I hemmed and hawed and procrastinated until I was 36 years old -- and I now regard the first 35 years of my life as time wasted standing on the ground, looking up. It's a bit financially painful to get the certificate, but it's yours for life. Just do it! I will go back to lurking now. Jump in from time to time, please. Students and wannabees are always welcome here! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Do you go to the flying club's pancake breakfast held every year around June right there at the airport? I have been attending those the past few years. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to do that the last few years. Ithaca is a very pretty area and an excellent location to learn to fly. That is correct. I have tried coming up with some 'creative accounting techniques' to show that $6-7K over the next year would not be bad but alas, I am no Enron ;-) Sinan -- A.

oups.com: If you ever find your way down to the deep south, look me up at KMBO. I'll take you up for free as there is nothing like the pleasures of sharing the magic of flight. Thank you for the offer, Allen. One of aims is to see and expererience the U.S. first hand. Not traveling in a tube from hub to hub but really experiencing it. Given the twice annual trip back home I make, I can't usually go on long trips but I have been exploring the Northeast corner intensively by car. I have been blabbering about a month-long driving trip around the country and documenting it for awhile now. Who knows, maybe I can do that by plane, and you can show me around Madison. There is a lot of history there. get board and want to see some of my flying video's go to .http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=mbo%20lieberman. I am watching the night landing at KMBO now. Unfortunately, archive.org does not always cooperate. Thank you for sharing. Sinan -- A. Sinan Unur (remove .invalid and reverse each component for email address) |

High bandwidth recommended and you can download the videos to your local computer (plays back better). I tried getting one of the videos, and it came back saying something (4 letter something) decompression not found. I have a brand new install of XP pro, and was surprised that it would not play for me. What's that all about? What format do you use to view them? -- Jim in NC |
