Re: Solar Impulse to Cross Atlantic

Too bad, when it flew from Tulsa to Dayton, it was out of our ADSB range to the south.

Re: Quiz: Can You Identify These Airport Signs and Markers?

I missed one. I picked Mayor Daley is an A-hole for the closed runway question that pictured Meigs Field. I still think that is the best of the available answers. :lol:

Re: Rainy Zurich

Rain is key word. Very little snow has fallen in Switzerland this season. Most ski resorts for the holiday season are relying on man-made snow.

Re: New KORD 10R-28L Opening

They are using 10R right now for arrivals. I can actually see them outside my window at work. On the heatmap, you can see the 2 degree offset as compared to 10C and 10L.
