Don't know those dude's, Bing-Bong ring any bells?

HSLD, you are right! Acronyms all over the place and now we've got tom joining in, too! I'll be sure to ask my instructor, Mr. Notam, if he knows what an ATIS is.

Tom, you can take me out to coffee anytime!

vagabond

Wow, Tacos and Bing Bongs. You guys have so many flirtatious mechanisms! I can barely keep up. I better go check and see what the notam says about them.

notam... notam... animals needs some flying lessons ASAP!!!
I've been studying my FAA 'airplane flying handbook' religiously...have most of it memorized.

Bing is a person, and Taco is the Guard Unit he's in. I love this site, everyone's got a dirty mind.

I love lawyers, if I wasn't a pilot, I might be a lawyer...........wait.......too much reading involved, found that out the hard way in college. But it sure is fun to argue.

Sky girl, you are back, hooray!!
And that silly homophobic guy,.... " pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" remember?Have fun on the water.....
Vagabond;... ATIS means airport terminal information system.
It is a recording that is on a specific frequency giving airport specific information.. Winds, active runways, sky cover, visibility,temperature /dewpoint, barometric pressure and any NOTAMS
It is updated hourly unless something significant changes beforehand.
Acronyms are so common in aviation that sometimes it is a chore to remember what something actually stands for, as it is always refered to by its acronym.( who remembers TIBBS and TWEBS ?? )
Any info I can help you or Animals with, let me know......
Crashman!!! I am sorry, I didnt mean to belittle you with anonyminity!!

Apologies? NEVER necessary! After all, it is I who am a mere pig. Cute, SkyGirl? Maybe! But I'll see you in the sky. All of you! And match you turn for turn, loop for loop... Love lawyers, GSU & Ms. Colleague Vagabond? That is well, because it is for THEM that we do it all. The clients, you know... I'm sure you do! None of us will ever know defeat, because we know the Way of the Sky. The clean clear piercing blue is our domain, and pity them who do not know it! Here we gather and here is our ascension. Heed the note'ums and listen the ATIS, it speaks that which you must know. Rejoice! We are ALL here! preview.jpg

Don't hear much from the gang much anymore. Hope everyone is well. Yesterday had a medical emergency enroute and then on a later flight had to divert to KMSY for petrol due to bad weather in IAH - long day. Off to SFO tomorrow but have two red-eyes looming that should finish me off for a day or two. Wish I could win the lottery and retire to a life of leisure. Enough dreaming, got a 0725 push in the morning. Should hit Starbucks about 0600, pick up my USA about 0615 and show up to fly about 0645 or 0700. So predictable!

Crashman, thank you for the first positive post in a long time. This weekend, all the lawyer bashers, non-pilot bashers, women bashers and it seems minority bashers came out in force. I got some unnecessary abuse and decided I was not going to post anymore. tomgoodman was only one of a very few who stood up for me. Oh well. Live and learn, eh?
