    Hello

    For those that aren't aware, I was the previous owner of TRF, a few years back. The backstory is the owner before me had it running on a server out of another person's home, and the server started dying, so I took ownership for a period of about a year.

    Ok: A watering hole post about volunteers and launches

    It's the Parretto principle (20/80 - 20% of the people, doing 80% of the work) effect at its finest - when it comes to volunteerism. A few years back myself and others wanted a club for our 200 acre grass park - where none existed before. So I did a TON of work - including defending rocketry...

    BOEING ROCKS

    I know of one individual whose team wrote the training courseware for the pilots, maintainers, and flight attendants. AND has been on the fist 12 of these aircraft - in their various states of flight and production. ;)

    Why not . . . rockets?! Madcow, DynaStar, etc.

    Amazing pilot or incredible idiot?

    I choose . . . a bit of both! If you like that, check these out, especially the crew chief on No. 3 . . . 10 Military Low Flybys

    Reality Based FPS: Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc.

    Thanks for the suggestions, so far. Am still looking for computer-based, military FPS; not Wii, Xbox, etc. I guess from what I'm gathering is that they're all moving to on-line, multiplayer eh?

    Reality Based FPS: Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc.

    Can someone point me to a good First Person Shooter (FPS) based on world-based reality scenarios (i.e. Mid-East, China, etc.) - that is not played on-line/multiplayer? Am updating some games and it seems to be that many of the games really focus on multiplayer/on-line servers. I'd simply...

    How many pilots out there?

    Yup, am one and current medical. Work for "the" large aerospace company here in the U.S., that develops commercial aircraft. Have helped develop the training materials for both commercial (787) and defense products (-15, -18, KC-46, and P-8). Oh, am hoping to start my build on a Velocity...

    went to the local hobby store today $$$$$$

    I know we've discussed this many times, but I'm in agreement - if the b&m LHS can't change their business models quickly, they'll be closing at an even faster rate than they already are. I enjoy walking the isles tremendously; wishing here, hoping there. I'm into R/C airplanes and really...

    Any Thoughts?

    Hmmmmm . . . I forgot . . . didn't Europeans do a similar thing when coming to settle in North America. I think facts dictate that this land was already occupied when many of our ancestors arrived. And we did what to those natives?

    Coming Soon - Red Tails (Lucasfilm)

    This is going to be good! I don't see movies in the theaters that often, but I think this one is going to be a must-see in the theaters.

    Moving Sale: Sandman: X-51 Waverider, MPR

    I can't believe where the time has gone? I commissioned Sandman back in 2006 on a one-of-a-kind model that had special interest to me: the Boeing X-51 Waverider Boeing X-51 Waverider My intent was to have it built and flown within the month. Well, the other night I found it in a...

    D Mobely RIP

    This is very sad indeed. Many may not know Darrell's tie here to TRF. When TRF 1.0 went down and I went to bring it back on-line, Darrell spent several hours on the phone with me, walking me through the steps to get TRF 2.0 up and running. In all honesty, if it wasn't for Darrell TRF, as...

    I apologize, but I shouldn't comment on my employer.

    Moving Back to California/SFO area

    Thanks for the preliminary info. Having grown-up there I still remember when Dublin/Pleasanton was nothing but fields, and many-many other changes in the Bay Area - before the development boom in the '80s. So I'm familiar with all of the locations. Was even one of the active duty Air...
