Over a decade ago, I made trips to the Tampa airport for the purpose of taking pics atop the top level of the parking garage. I’d like to do it again in late September but I know that airport security often changes its focus. So I’m interested in getting input from someone who can tell me if I can f...
Jump to postAfter a long time away, I returned to the site today...looking for what used to be "Photographers' Corner". Is there anything comparable in this "new and improved" site?
Jump to postGoing to spend a day in Memphis in July. Would love to get some photography in. For those who know the layout, is the best place along Louis Caruthers Drive?
Jump to postJust got a call from my son who had witnessed a United Embraer go nose-down on the runway at SAT. Front landing gear failed. According to scanner chatter, 2 injured coming down the slides. That's all I know at the moment.
Jump to postWhere do I go to see the progress being made on the screening queue? With the old site, I could go to the Photographers' Corner and with one click, see about how many days before my photos would be screened. Is that feature available now?
Jump to postYep, disappointed to say the least. I find it sadly ironic that photographers who upload pictures still are given the option of having those shots go to MyAviation.net.
This sure has been handled poorly by Big Brother.
I guess I haven't been paying attention. Is "myaviation.net" gone? Trying to go there sends me to the big site.
Jump to postWell, I still don't quite get it. I looked at my first class tickets for a flight in October and where normally they would indicate the meal served, it says that meals would be available for purchase. The website doesn't say the word "complimentary" nor does it mention the meals have to be purchased.
Jump to postI guessed I missed the memo...but do First Class passengers on AA now have to purchase their meals?

Jump to postIs anyone familiar enough with Whiteman to give me some advice about perhaps being able to see a B-2 arriving? Is there enough activity (I know there are only 20 or so in operation) to justify a trip from Kansas City? Is there a particular site outside the base that would be a good vantage point?

Jump to postMay I step into the fray?
To me, the Perry v. Obama can be solved fairly quickly. In fact, it requires answering just one question.
How's the country doing under Obama?
Bingo.
When Obama speaks, he either pouts, blames others, or flat-out lies.
The last thing he'll ever do is take ownership of the mess he's made.
It is so fitting that nobody watches MSNBC.

Jump to postI really think the story should be the drought in Texas, not the heat. Lubbock has had 1.13" year-to-date. The Hill Country is equally bad off.
But it ain't global warming; just the usual climate cycle.
