    Not a pilot, but I manage a couple websites.

    The home page banner seems really big to me for the small amount of text you have in it. Also, more color pictures of the Facilities?
    One thing that looks off is the bottom of the page with the hours and how it text wraps the Daily: 8am - 5pm but nothing else on the bottom of the page.
    I would also maybe change The sky is the limit. to The Sky is the Limit to match the Flight School page? Also on text the text size between Resources and Earn Your Wings! should be the same in my opinion.
    Is there a way to put a current weather widget on the home page? May be a good thing for people to see what the current weather is there?

    Side note... There is a Rental Car place called Rent-A-Wreck??? What the crap?

    Thanks for the feedback, good stuff!

    I matched up all the font sizes on the header :thumbsup: I've been playing with the size on the homepage banner, but it cuts off too much of the photo when I reduce it. Not sure what you mean about the text wraps :notsure: Were you looking from a mobile? I just centered up everything on the footer if that is what you mean? It looks much better to me. I'm working on more facility pictures as well as a page for our upcoming airshow and a development page with leasing and rental info.

    I'll look into a wx widget. Using a new software so it is a learning process. Where would you put it?

    LOL I thought the same thing the first time I heard of them. They rent clean high mileage cars at discounted rate.

    Headers look a lot better! The text wrap is now fixed from centering everything on the footer.

    https://www.wunderground.com/stickers/ I use one of the Two-Day 300x100 for a IT help desk portal so employees can see the weather outlook. I would place it maybe under Current Fuel Prices? Somewhere that is easily seen so if someone wanted to quickly check the weather for the airport they could do that from web or mobile.

    Was deadheading on the Q400 the other day when I saw this series of 4 lakes, a knoll, and a road bordering the south and west side. Thought it looked like the pillsbury doughboy...slightly deformed like he's been in the oven for awhile mind you, but I can see it.

    Prop is fixed-pitch, so it is going to be producing thrust from the time is starts spinning. Because pitch cannot be zeroed, as soon as front chocks moved the plane rolls forward. Not sure on whether they had brakes or not at that time.

    It has a skid in the back rather than a wheel so it's hard for it move backwards. And with the grass and dirt there is a lot of friction to overcome.
