		<title>My Experience with Airline Entertainment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is your favorite past-time while flying?  I really enjoy the entertainment centers on the transcontinental flights.  Recently I had the opportunity to watch a movie that I would not normally go to the movies to see – cartoon feature.  As an adult without children it is difficult to find friends that are interested in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enough With The Nickel and Dimeing, Already!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read an article that stated effective August 1, 2010, a US airline plans to charge for “carry-on luggage”!  Their rationale is that the charge will “discourage customers from bringing on carry-on luggage, improve safety and speed up the boarding and deplaning process”.  The airline stated that in addition to the surcharge, they plan to [...]]]></description>

		<title>UAV pilots? An oxymoron?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it’s reasonable to set a goal to have one-third of our deep strike tactical aircraft remotely piloted within 10 years, and to have one-third of our ground combat vehicles remotely operated perhaps in an equal number of years. —Senator John Warner, R-VA What do you think, are operators of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) [...]]]></description>

He is now an accomplished author of entertaining books about US Naval Aviation including &#8220;Check Six&#8221; and &#8220;Fly-Off&#8221;. In response to [...]]]></description>
