Quote of the Day
Every one already knows the definition of a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But very few know the definition of a 'great landing.' It's one after which you can use the airplane another time.

Callsign of the day
Callsign "Radar"
I got tagged with this by my MTI in basic. He said I looked like Radar from M.A.S.H. and having the name Walter didn't help. Oddly enough it followed me wherever I was assigned with me saying a word.
