Up, Up, and Away

Jann and George Bowne took friends to Muncie, IN for a Sunday brunch at Quincy’s restaurant on the field.

Constance and Ray flew to Toledo airport for a luncheon.

I [Terri Vrbancic] flew in a Cherokee 180 with dual VORs and an ADF (which I totally ignored) with a former coworker who is now retired. We left at 8am and landed at Panama City, FL at 7:30 pm (strong headwinds). In KY we had a ground speed of 48K. We returned 4 days later and stopped in Dayton, TN for 2 days because of the weather in Ohio (imagine that). I had a lot of fun and both pilots worked very well together.

Ray Copeland e-mailed a very interesting Web site to many of you. But some of you may not have seen it. According to Ray: “ . . . choose from many dozens of streaming audio feeds, and listen to ongoing ATC communications from around the world. Always in English, of course, but be prepared for the accents to vary from one region to another.” If you need to sharpen your communications technique, give this site a try for the listening half! http://www.liveatc.net/
