The FAA recently released its annual forecast projecting airline passenger travel will nearly double in the next 20 years.
The forecast projects revenue passenger miles (RPMs) will jump from 815 billion in 2011 to 1.57 trillion in 2032, with an average increase of 3.2 percent per year. The number of commercial operations at FAA and contract towers is expected to increase by more than 45 percent from current levels.

April 7th, 2012 9:40 AM– The Piper Cub lifted off Runway 22 into a nearly perfect VFR day. This was no ordinary takeoff; this aircraft had not flown in almost 60 years. As is common with many of the L-4 Cubs (the military version of the popular J-3 Cub), it was originally built and used for the military, sold into civilian service after the end of the war, and then left into various states of disrepair years later.

He had a scary reputation as an examiner according to the folks in my circles. I later learned that this "reputation" was very much a myth.

When I was in college at the University of Cincinnati, I joined Air Force ROTC. Being part of this military college class meant wearing the uniform all day every Thursday on campus. We could either wear our 'dress blues,' or our BDU's (camouflage uniform). A few of my ROTC buddies dreaded wearing their uniform because we stood out in the crowd. But most of my ROTC classmates, including me, didn't mind because they liked getting the looks and attention from other students.
