    Horrible? It wasn't the first time this type of idea was thought up. They did it with blimps prior to WWII.

    I love to see the lack of northeast flying. My old job was like that but I’m going to have to get used to the NE with my new job.

    I closed out the year with 446 hours between both work and fun flying

    Man, I closed out the year with 65 hours. Most of it tailwheel. Just been a hard year to find the time and weather.

    What have you been flying? Always wanted to try a tailwheel plane.

    Mostly a couple of super cubs. I guess the good thing about my low hours is most are local flights with a lot of landings. A typical cub flight is 1-1.5 hours with 3-5 landings at 2-3 different grass strips. Most of my 182 time is also backcountry, so each hour of flight has a couple of landings of mixed paved runway and grass. My landings/hours ratio is pretty dang high.

    i feel for the folks who have been without power/heat up there...not a good situation

    when i lived in AK i was pretty close to the airport. it was my "job" to run over before/after the big storms and check on the planes that belonged to my ex inlaws, their neighbor and a friend as they all lived much further out. check tiedowns, sweep off the snow, etc and just sure everything was as safe as could be

    Suppose that depends on what you mean by aviation. Do you mean balloons, gliders, powered machines?
