Tell that to the poor sap of an "instructor" that had Blackhawks and F-16's firing flares at him this past week. I am sorry, that close to the DC area and h had no idea about the restricted airspace?

That's whay I said it. See my responce in the WTF thread.

I fly around here all the time, it's so freaking clear on the sectional chart it's unbelievable. He should get his license permanently yanked. I'll scan the sectional chart later and post it if I get a chance for anyone that has mercy for the asshat.

 

[skunk]

You can hardly see my set-up at the moment for the piles of paperwork, so I'm certainly not posting any pictures! Looks great about once a month.

I am sorry Gary, I meant no disrespect to you. The issue is that any one within 3 hours of DC should know better. Glad they yanked his license. Whether his student should have his license yanked is open to much debate. For when I took lessons so many years ago, I bore a responsibility to observe the rules that were out there.

From what I have read it was not a situation of poor navigation that caused a straying in to restricted airspace. But a disregard of any flight rules.

Chipperoo - no disrespect taken at all. Just saying I was being sarcastic. They didn't yank his license. That's what I am so pissed about.

Now let's see skunks office.

 

[skunk]

No way Jose. But I'll make a real effort - really I will - to make it presentable. Soon.

 

[stubeeef]

That pilot should have his license permamently yanked. How could he have been that dump is beyond me. I fly to dulles alot and am paranoid as heck. Before 911 I would fly in to Reagan, and was ultrasensative to bad vectors, pilots are to be aware.

My office has lots of gizmos to help me, as long as I don't get wrapped up in playing with them, and spend my time using them. SA, situational awareness. There is usually about one way to get it right, and a million ways to fruk it up.

 

[iGary]

Amen.

 

[Hoef]

Mmmm.... The only interesting thing about my office is a view of downtown Houston and the I59 Will make a pic tomorrow

 

[jemeinc]

LMAO... I'll bet 'ya mine's worse... I can't even see my desk right now... I joke, but it's annoying- I gotta get this stuff organized- I'm doing it right now...lol...

My desk after a hurricane...

I just finished a research paper on hurricanes on the coast of America. I had no idea that they were such a 'real' problem. I always thought they were pretty much something reserved for Hollywood (the movies, not the place ). That's scary, I hope no one was hurt.

Nope. We weren't here. The worst of the hurricane was during the night, and we left in the early afternoon hours the day before when our power went out.

Came back in the morning to a real mess. Took us two months to get totally back to normal. Four full dumptruck loads full of trashed furniture, carpet, drywall, papers....

My grandparents live in Fells Point, and there first floor looked like that. A huge mess. I hope you had insurance.

[joetronic]

Nope.

That sucks. Did you guys pick up most everything from the floor before you left that night? and most importantly, was the chair saved

 

[Deefuzz]

Now for my cube at work, I did my best to label some of my stuff as well...hopefully it is readable to some of you:

these two are mine

Close up of my main seat (left hand side of the two)

And here is my leftovers (right hand side)

It is completely Macless (save the Apple geeks toon, a G5 ad from the Apple store taped to the other side of my right hand cube, and the iPod affixed to my waist) but it is where I call home for 9 hours a day.

 

[mad jew]

I love the labels Deefuzz, very witty.

 

[clayj]

I see that Deefuzz has posted what may be the best Dilbert strip of all time (hot chick sits in Dilbert's lap, he thinks "I can't imagine how this could be any better", she says "So, which Star Trek series do you like the best?").

My desk after a hurricane :

Well good you have an iMac now.....nothing on the floor

 

[iGary]

Yeah, we picked up all the electrical equipment and Sawtooths (all survived) from the flor the night before. The Herman Miller chairs survived like champs, even after being submerged in salt water for 12 hours.

We basically trashed all the furniture, ripped up all the carpet, ripped out most of the drywall and started from scratch. The landlord's insurance covered all the structural damage, and we paid for furniture and document restoration stuff.

You'd never believe how devastating a flood is untill you've been though one.

Platform: I got the iMac when they started replacing the Sawtooth's with PC's. Paid for it with my own money, so when I go, it goes. I'm a Mac zealot if there ever was one. Hopefully it will go to good use in my business when I leave here.

I can vouch for that. We were stuck in Aruba when Hurricane Ivan (I think) passed close by the Island. The pics the street we lived in the morning after the storm. We woke about 3am to find water running through the house... scary!

I remember this night well as I had to get our valuables (passports, money, flight tickets, computers) from our house to a neighbours who was living in the upper floors. I slipped climbing over walls getting from my house to theirs and dented my 17"PB such a sad day. Worst part was trying to get a heavily pregnant wife over walls while trying to avoid water that was 'less than hygenic'. To give you an idea, that water in the middle part of the road is about thigh high.

Haha thanks!

Yeah that strip rocks!

That is a very eery looking picture.
