Hi Ross-

Is that picture of the cute little guy, your baby picture?

Yeap, I think I was all of 4 years old in that picture. The crazy people at the other forum got bored and started a thread on baby pics, so I scanned what I have and that is it.

It actually feels like summer here for a change!

Ross,

Is that a weather report in your last note or your vital signs.

I always enjoy reading your posts.

You know Walter, once upon a time I could read that last line with no problem. It's for pilots. They changed the format some and now I can barely make any of it out.

Thanks.

My memory is rusty also. As best I remember it includes the airport, time of the report, wind direction and speed, altimeter and clouds. Other than that - I have to go back to the books.

My nephew just got his private license in NJ. He is paying sixty dollars a wet hour for a 172. U-fa

While cleaning out drawers here one day, I found a receipt for 1.5 hours of dual instruction time in a 152. I thought it was expensive then at a whopping $24.00 an hour. $18.00 for solo. This was back in 78. I called not to long ago just to see what the rates are now a days, your right in the area there. It's $65.00 dual and I have no idea what solo is now.
