I still vividly remember reading these posts by my favorite OP, a CFI/ATC at ERAU (Although I never figured out which one his main job is) where he would share how he hitched rides, or drove himself, to find the Friday restaurant that fit his mood in a 100nm radius, on a plane! And countless anecdotes like calling the fuel truck and tower on final approach.Īs a typical gearhead pretty much interested in anything that moves, I got my pilot’s license flying out of Martin State, about 20 miles out of Baltimore. 20 years ago, the aviation enthusiast community was kaleidoscopic in an eye-opening way. I spent a good chunk of my pastime being addicted to posts on aviation BBS.
