Dear Listers,
Some have asked, "What's my Contribution used for?", and this is
certainly a valid question. Here are just a few examples of what
your direct List support enables. It provides for the very
expensive, business-class, high-speed T1 Internet connection used on
the List, insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when
accessing List services. It pays for the regular system hardware and
software upgrades enabling the highest performance possible for
services such as the Archive Search Engine and List Browser. It pays
for 16+ years worth of online archive data available for instant
random access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing,
developing, and maintaining the custom applications that power this
List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, and PhotoShare.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where
you and your peers can communicate freely in an environment that is
free from moderation, censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM,
and computer viruses. How many places on the Internet can you make
all those statements about these days? I will venture to say - next to none...
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many desirable
aspects of this most valuable List service. Please support it today
with your List Contribution. Its one of the best investments you can
make in your Sport...

| Subject: | The DC ADIZ NPRM |
--> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: alan@reichertech.com
Hello, All!
Please pardon this intrusion. This note is not specific to your
particular list, but regardless of what you are building, restoring, or
flying, an issue exists that could potentially affect all of you who fly
in the United States. That issue is the Washington DC ADIZ.
This ADIZ was put into effect as a temporary protective measure for
Washington DC airspace after 9/11. There is now an NPRM out to make this
airspace *permanent*.
The original comment period for this NPRM expired yesterday, November 2.
However, the FAA has now extended the comment period for another 90 days,
so if you did not get your comments in, HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!
Information on the ADIZ, and why we are fighting it, can be found here:
http://www.aopa.org/adizalert/
I live underneath the current DC ADIZ, so I get to play with this every
time I fly. The AOPA page above gives a good summary of what has happened
in this area since it's inception.
Help on formulating comments for this NPRM can be found here:
http://www.aopa.org/adizalert/help.html
Comments on this NPRM can be submitted (online) to the DOT here:
http://dms.dot.gov/submit/
Instructions on how to navigate and fill out the DOT page to submit your
comments are available here:
http://www.aopa.org/adizalert/faa_help.html
There are over 18000 comments against this NPRM at this time. If yours is
not one of them, please take the time now to submit your comments; every
one helps. If this ADIZ becomes permanent, then there could be an ADIZ
coming to an airspace near you in the future!
I thank Matt for allowing me to send this to you. Even if you don't live
near the DC area, please do what you can to protect your flying
priviledges... submit your comments!
Regards,
-- Alan Reichert

--> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Curtis R. Hinkley" <N815RV@adelphia.net>
Our airport manager got back to me this morning on the fuel discount.
He's going to give us a discount based on how many RV's fly in. At least 10
cents a gallon and if more than 15 RV's make it he'll make the discount 20
cents a gallon. Not bad for full serve.
So I hope you can make it.

It looks like the weather is going to great for flying this Saturday. For
those of you trying to talk your better half's into flying with you, remind
them that Elizabeth City (ECG) is the gate way to the Outer Banks. After
lunch and seeing all your buddies you can hop over to the shore and have an
air tour of First Flight and the Outer Banks.
Then, if you're heading south you can fly over Hatteras (HSE) then down to
Ocracoke (W95) and Beaufort (MRH) before heading home. I recommend topping
off at ECG because 100LL at MRH is $4.75.
Those of you heading North have two choices, first is to head north up the
coast and give Oceana APP a call on 120.875, sometimes if R6606 is not hot
(normally closed on weekends) you can fly up the coast at 500 to 1000 AGL
and get a great view of Virginia Beach and the coast all the way up to Ocean
City (OBX) and Rehoboth Beach before heading home.
The second choice is to head North and pop up to 2600 MSL and over fly
Oceana and stay just East of Norfolk APP. However, it's been my experience
that both of these approach controls will go out of there way to help if you
explain what you want to do.
For those of you worried about parking we have about 30 ramp spots and I cut
the grass on our overflow lot which will hold another 50 or so RV's. I made
sure the grass parking is smooth and will not hurt your wheel pants.
Hope to see you all on Saturday.
Curtis
