It has been absolutely sleepy around the ranch lately, and even though we're doing a bit of flying, there's just nothing going on... that I know about. :)
Today commemorates the 107th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk, ushering in the golden age of aviation, and the loss of Saturdays to hanging out at the airport. Thanks, guys!
Wikipedia has one of the better write-ups about it, despite Jimmy Wales' sad-clown banner at the top:

Worth a read.

Some other news I know about:
Cessnas 17J and 630 will be in for 100hr this week.
Everything else seems to be behaving. How boring!
We are closing in on the first of two C172s we plan to add to the fleet this winter.
There is even a rumor that we may add a C150.
The office will be closed for a half-day on December 24, and of course, all day on December 25. After-hours procedures will be in effect.
Fly safely, everyone, and enjoy the holiday season! 2011 looks like it will be a great one!
