Re: Where were you on September 11th 2001?

I woke up to the radio alarm just half hearing the news. Then it started to sink in, turned on the TV. I worked as a radio talk show host and news director at the time, was late getting to work that day cause I couldn't tear myself away from the TV. It was a crazy, scary and memorable day, we were r...

Re: UAV border patrol

The above poster is right, they do have transponders and communicate with ATC. I've been looking into UAV training, there are a few schools around the country that offer it.

Thanks Beefitarian, I was afraid I might not want to know. Just to get flying again would be alright. It's not like I want to work as a CFI, though I wouldn't mind teaching ground school.
