Boom Boom is our ATC trainee's nickname.

SEATTLE – A Seattle company is commemorating the sonic booms that frightened people from Chehalis to Seattle during Pres. Obama's visit on Tuesday with a special edition "Obooma" T-shirt. The sonic booms came from two F-15 fighter jets that were scrambled from Portland because of a small...

From the comments of a ATC controller (Puget Sound, Washington) The my boss was in town Tuesday, and some poor Canadian float plane on the way back from vacation got a little too close to the TFR.

I am not about to trade her in.

George, Sorry to hear that. I see that it is not on the website anymore. They have been supporting my 20XL (8 years old). Has anybody used the Zulu? I would like to upgrade, but do not want to trade in either of my Lightspeed headsets. My wife stole my 20XL because it was smaller than the Thirty 3G ...

Yikes,
Turn my back for one minute and I lost my wife!!
If found, please send to,,,,, Uh Uh, Uh, Nevermind.

Some guys have all the luck :lol: Between that and the jacket, it sounds like you are out of the dog house for at least a week. Last week, my wife wanted to go flying and flew me to the Spruce Goose at Jefferson Field. I had to pay for filling the tanks and the breakfast. My wife got to take our fol...

The common error made by many is due to the mistaken belief that 406 ELTs broadcast their actual location to the satellite on the first pass.
