I have to say sneakers. It goes good with Coke. 😀

Special occasions, See’s Chocolate, Godiva Chocolate, or Ethel M Chocolate. 🙂

BTW, you should always carry a sneakers bar in your plane in case you are stranded. 😉

My bad habit routine is getting to work late… Every freaking day!!! Then, I am the first one out the door too. I always have some (fake) meeting to go to.

Then, my other bad habit routine is driving so fast. Can’t help it. Once, I got a speeding ticket going up a mountain road that goes from 300 ft. elevation to 4,200 ft. elevation in just a few miles. Cop said, he doesn’t give tickets to people going up the hill only down. But, I was only going 90 mph (that’s 140 km/h)

My new habit is the radar … radar eyes too.

Like ’em fast!

Flylady :p

Ashley,

Glad to hear you are young! You and I are the few out there. Seriously. Not writing you off at all!!!

I have one friend out here my age with same plane as mine. So, not by choice, not too many young chicks flying out here. Hard to come by. And my other female friends, they don’t like flying at all. Leaves you with little options when it comes to aircrafts.

Cheers! :p

Hadros,

Man!!!! You are wild. And yes, ladies like that stuff too unless you preferr sex by yourself. :p

You need to join the mile high club mister!

LOL!

Oh boy … what did we get into here!?

Tempest,

Well, as you can see, there is a few of us who like this sort of stuff. I like getting my long finger nails full of grease and don’t mind digging in the engine stuff. Like duct tape too. Even like jumping out of perfect airplanes too!

Both my offices are decorated with airplanes. I wear airplane earrings, subscribe to too many aviation magazines, I’m on several aviation WebBoards / Forums and member to three aviation associations. Currently flyout chairperson for one.

Don’t belong to the group 99’s here, because most are old enough to be my mom or grandmother. Besides, I like hanging out with the guys. No offense to anyone.

Lucky for me … at the moment, I am experiencing a new Lycoming TO-360. And, when I walk in the shop and start squeaking, all the A&P’s come out to see my excitement. They tell me, for years, they don’t see a lady walking in high sexy high heels and a suit and jumping up and down when she sees a new engine, with brand new valves, new hoses, new carburater, new turbo charge, new baffling, new fuel pump, new ….. well, get my point. I like this stuff A LOT!

And for EN830 …

I suggest you just do it. Ask for forgiveness later. Don’t ask for permission. Here’s an idea, give it (plane) to your wife as a gift. She will learn to like it. If she likes shoppping, plan a trip that the final destination is shopping. Bite the bullet (I am one of the few that hates shopping) just like shopping for planes, parts, Garmin 530, decals, blah, blah, blah. Live baby, live! You would not want to get old and regret you didn’t do it. Focus on it! because when you focus, have a dream and a mission, everything seems possible. EVERYTHING!

Boyer to take Meigs, GA’s case to Congress
Hear testimony live on the Internet

Apr. 8 — AOPA President Phil Boyer will take general aviation’s concerns directly to Congress on
Wednesday, when he testifies before the House aviation subcommittee. First and foremost in his
testimony will be the destruction of the runway at Merrill C. Meigs Field in Chicago.

“With blatant disregard for the airport’s importance, city officials destroyed the lone runway at Chicago’s Meigs Field under the cover of night for ‘homeland security reasons,'” reads Boyer’s advance statement that will be submitted for the record. “The Department of Homeland Security never indicated such a risk existed after an analysis of intelligence information.

“It is vital that the federal government reaffirm its authority over security matters affecting our
national air transportation system. Our nation’s airports and airspace face a patchwork of restrictions and closures via local and state power grabs that further endanger the continued viability, safety, and welfare of the aviation system.”

Visit the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Web page at 2 p.m. EDT to hear Phil
Boyer’s testimony live.

The subcommittee is taking testimony on the FAA reauthorization bill, which will outline Congress’s
priorities for the agency and dictates how the FAA should spend its money over the next six years.

During his presentation to the subcommittee, Boyer will also stress two other issues of vital concern
not only to general aviation, but the entire aviation industry: the privatization of both air traffic control (ATC) and aeronautical chart publication.

The Office of Management and Budget has reclassified each as a commercial activity that could be contracted out. AOPA contends that air traffic control is a safety-of-flight issue and is therefore a national security concern, and as such is an inherently governmental function. Aeronautical charts directly support the ATC operations and, therefore, should also be treated as an inherently governmental function.

Boyer will offer some creative alternatives for funding airports. The federal government currently funds 90% of the cost of many airport improvement projects through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP), with the remaining 10% split between the state and local governments. In order to help more
small airports (50 or fewer based aircraft) take advantage of AIP funding, AOPA is proposing that five percent of the cost (half of the state/local match) be waived for those small airports.

AOPA will also suggest that grants for non-primary airports be increased from $150,000 to $250,000
per year, and that any unused non-primary grant money be given to the states for them to use on
airport improvements at their discretion, rather that having the money returned to the federal pot.

The hearing is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EDT on Wednesday. To listen live to Phil Boyer’s testimony, visit the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Web page.
