Hi,
Just got back late this evening, but before crashing wanted to say thank you
to Jonathan for taking the lead in finding a name for the newsletter and to
all those who submitted suggestions.
Just a quick comment...
How about a name that is a little more "poetic" and captures the esssence
and experience of flying.
Some idea from "High Flight" by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr., an
American serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force or "The Little Prince" by
Antoine de Saint Exupery, lost in a P-38 somewhere off the coast of North
Africa., or some other work or piece of literature on flying other than a
tech manual...
So put on those thinking caps and keep those cards and letters coming
in.....
Okay, here is a rough outline for some possible sections/topics for the
newsletter
