5200.0. "Is anybody out there?" by JULIET::MORRISJA (Even nostalgia isn't what it was!) Fri Feb 21 1997 17:36

    Who still reads this notesfile?  Obviously, with the reduction in the
    employee population over the recent past, the pilot population was
    going to be reduced accordingly.  However, I was wondering just how
    many folks still check this file.  Or have we exhausted all the
    aviation topics? 
    
    So post a reply and let's take a census.

I extract and mail this (and several work related) notes files each night.
It's such a treat to have a few fun notes mixed in with the load
of work stuff.

Hello Dave/Rick/Joe! It's good indeed to see you names!
Rick - did you get your ticket?
Joe - done any flying recently?
Dave - hey the weather's breaking, time to get some air!

Cheers, Jim...

I read it every two days or so.  Course I'll be on vacation for 5 weeks and 
I'll have a lot of catching up to do but I still read it regularly.....and 
I don't even fly.  That's baby brother's bag since he's with the FAA.

5200.49New Pilot RespondsPONDA::GRESHFri Feb 28 1997 13:047
    I have been flying since late August, am now in the cross-country phase
    of my training, and check this notes file regularly.  While some recent
    topics have not been of interest to me, some of the earlier discussion
    have enormously helpful.

Happy to read only words and imagine the fun and happiness everybody has all
around flying.

I'm looking forward this spring for my IFR rating. Theory and simulator is - and
only the practice ( and this is the best of the license ) has to be done.
