And just to get you more jazzed up the FAA is building us a new tower
here in Billings. When we move in in a couple of years paper strips
will be a thing of the past. It will all be touch screens and cursors.
The whole agency is going down that path.


I don't care if it is paper or touch screen. I've been installing touch
screens since 1983 so I'm rather fond of them! As long as some action
is required at the completion of an IFR flight into a non-tower field,
be it pitching a piece of paper or touching a screen to delete an entry,
I'm a happy camper.
