Daily Aviation Photo – February 6, 2011

February 6, 2011

As expected, I am not able to keep up with posting a new photo every single day. Here’s the latest. While driving past the north tee hangars at my home airport of Melbourne International Airport (KMLB), I spotted a Cherokee after it had been pulled out. It appeared like they were preflighting it. As I [...]

This is the air traffic control tower at Melbourne International Airport (KMLB). I’ve actually be inside this tower a number of times. It does not seem to be very tall, but it offer plenty of visibility over the entire field. As far as I know, the only place (besides the T-hangars) that it cannot see [...]

There was a pretty hefty weather system moving through the area today, so I didn’t get any new pictures. This picture of a Piper Cherokee was taken two days ago. This is the FIT ramp at KMLB. In the background you can see a bunch of planes painted in the FIT livery, and beyond that [...]

Daily Aviation Photo – January 24, 2011

January 24, 2011

Today my family and I spent the day at SeaWorld Orlando. Our trip normally takes us right under the final approach course for the south runways at Orlando International Airport (KMCO). It is not uncommon for us to find ourselves an intercept course (albeit at a slightly lower altitude and presumably no-factor) with a scheduled [...]

I’ve decided to try posting more photos on my blog. I have no idea if I’ll be able to keep up with it every day. The thing is, I love airplanes, and I don’t get enough of them. So here is the first. Today, I drove up to Melbourne International Airport (KMLB) in Melbourne, Florida. [...]

For What Are You Thankful?

November 22, 2010

Thanksgiving in the United States is just two days away. Without reservation, I look forward to the holiday each and every year. For me it means a time to reflect on the past and see how far we have come, to be thankful for the richness of family and friends, to evaluate what really matters [...]

What Do You Want To Do When You Grow Up?

November 7, 2010

It’s a simple-enough question. I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this very question lately. Ask this question to a 10-year old kid and you’ll get some awesome answers. You may even get some pretty great answers from high school or college students, but something happens when we become adults and start pursuing our career in [...]

Up And Away

August 3, 2010

I ran across one of my high school English assignments the other day, written when I was a senior. I’ve held onto it for over fifteen years now, wondering what I should do with it. I have no idea why I didn’t think to post it here before now. The assignment was to find a [...]

Pilots Versus Fools

August 1, 2010

Recently, I’ve been tweeting a little nugget of semi-random goodness, sometimes thought-provoking, often funny, and never a David Allen original. I find this stuff on the internet and say to myself, “Ooh, I like that. I bet at least one of my followers will like it, too.” So I tweet it. Most of the responses [...]

Good To-Do List Manager? Anyone?

July 25, 2010

I was watching Twitter today and I saw a conversation between Cali Lewis and Dave Curlee taking place. Cali expressed frustration with the iPhones built-in Notes application and asked for other suggestions from her followers. Dave mentioned that Cali should use Evernote, a program that I have been using for years. It was my note-taking [...]
