Poem written at FL300...
Flying What alien artisan fabricated,The wondrous tableau before me,Of gossamer wisps and cottony vapors,The whitened landscape beneath me. My soul is buoyed, lifted high and soars out,Free from the bound cording of Earth,White plaited, blue solid, the infinite sky,The clouds a pattern beneath me. The speed I travel is intoxicating,Drifting clouds know nothing of this,They are settled motionless against my flight,The ground well hid, far beneath us.See More

What alien artisan fabricated,
The wondrous tableau before me,

The whitened landscape beneath me.
My soul is buoyed, lifted high and soars out,
Free from the bound cording of Earth,
White plaited, blue solid, the infinite sky,
The clouds a pattern beneath me.
The speed I travel is intoxicating,
Drifting clouds know nothing of…

Where to Go, What to Do
Flying opens up so many opportunities that some new pilots seem to have difficulty deciding where to fly once they earn their license. Here are some ideas to get you up:
- Practice a new skill. Even if you are not formally studying for a new certification, you can practice new techniques. Ever flown into class B or the holding pattern around a neighboring airport VOR?
- Touch up some old skills. See how close you can get to your exact…

How to prevent thefts by TSA employees when you fly
Several recent media reports highlighted a number of alleged and admitted thefts by TSA employees, and these stories serve as a reminder to passengers that while most TSA employees are honest and fully dedicated to protecting the public, a rare few will steal from passengers.TSA employee sells stolen items on craigslistA January 20, 2012 Miami Herald story described the arrest of a TSA employeeHow to Fly with a Sex Toy
Last month, writer and attorney Jill Filipovic was on an international flight from Newark, NJ to Dublin, Ireland, and upon arrival found in her checked bag a printed advisory from the TSA stating that her bag had been opened and inspected by the TSA.

I had several requests to port Spin-a-Wind over to Android. After some learning, and finding a suitable spinning wheel widget (thanks Yuri), I was finally able to translate it over. Some notable differences to the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad version: - Page tabs are at the top. - Runway and Wind wheels are continuous. - No clicking [...]Khadafi Ordered Lockerbie Bombing?

In the interview, Abdel-Jalil says that Libyan leader, Moammar Khadafi personally ordered bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi to destroy the Boeing 747 Pan Am Flight 103 and kill all on board, and that he had written proof of [...]Spin-a-Wind 2.0 Now Available
Spin-a-Wind 2.0 is now available on iTunes. The update addressed a suggestion from a user in Germany who wanted a graphical representation of the runway and wind direction.
