Wednesday through Sunday.
Major Malfunction may or may not be in attendance.
He showed up today. The generals and colonels had a great appreciation for the comedic relief. I thank them all.

Didn't say or mean to imply that he or you or anyone else was!

If that's how that came across, I do apologize in specific, while in a general sense I still stand by the cautionary point, which I don't think is "coal-raking".

Once again, I want to personally and publicly apologize to PHall for appearing to "slime" him with my comment. I see how that reply could easily be taken as targeted at him, when I want to assure everyone that it was not (I should never have used the word "you", for example).

Phil, I am deeply sorry and sincerely hope you'll forgive me for the poor phrasing and timing.

Very Respectfully,
Spam

Remind me not to be silly when we go to Baltimore. :)

Do I need to remind you before you head down there next year?

Baltimore? Is that the location of the 2019 conference?

Yes. As posted on national's website.

Thanks.  Currently, the website is showing a full page of malformed header material, at least on mobile.

Of course, sitting in the hangar with the APU plugged in can be good as well.  I have a number of hours "hangar flying" the G1000. :)

X-Plane and similar simulators are great for stuff like that.

Yes, for concepts.  But for muscle memory of being able to reach over and turn knobs and push buttons quickly and efficiently, theres just nothing like practicing with the real thing. And if the engine isn't turning, the plane is free. I'll pull it up to the hangar door, so its still in the shade, yet can see just enough sky to get a satellite or two.  :)

It's good for learning the "switchology" and the basic procedures for operating the system.
