Hey - in your "thumbs up" photo you can see me in the back making an fool out of my self geeking the camera too.



LOL...I know, I laughed at you and Mary when I saw the picture. I had no idea you two were goofing around behind my back...I should have known you wouldn't have sat there innocently!

Would you have rathered us sitting on the bench, looking proper, sipping our afternoon tea.... Come on, this is a tunnel... It is required to geek any camera in the tunnel...

This is clearly explained in the "manual", in section 1.9.a, on page 982... It says, "Any camera that enters the tunnel, anti-chamber, or building in general, shall be geeked by any and all, even if the battery is dead or out of film. Be careful about being behind any camera pointed at the glass, because you might be seen in the reflection, and should you be, it would be in violation to not be geeking in the reflection too."

Hey, since you are an employee... I have a beef with the tunnel... Last night I was actually sweating inside, and it was below freezing outside.:P In all seriousness, it was warm enough that we customers need to learn a hand signal to give the operator to open the louvers a degree or two, to cool it down a bit. ;)


Seriously guys... I am so impressed with this tunnel. I have been working in the tunnel on some AFF instructional skills, and the instructors at the tunnel can transition from teaching a complete newbie, to being an "AFF student" for us, rolling over, spin stops, ignoring altitude awareness, etc... The staff is real well rounded, many being AFF instructors, and I am learning a lot... For an example, one instructor was helping me fly with my hands on my butt... I never have done this in RW training in the tunnel (no grips back there). Another instructor saw something I was doing a little wrong, so he flew in next to me, showed me the correction to apply to my elbows, and BOOM - I was flying stable in a whole new body position.

One of the hardest things, a few people have told me, about opening a tunnel is getting great staff... I am so impressed with the well roundness of the staff here...

And diablopilot has volunteered to help me on some skills, offering to go out of his way to be there for me...

Bravo...

Forget all that and focus on what is really important...the guys are all good-looking. That's all that matters. :)

I guess I'm just working harder since I don't have time to be a PW.

Brett, see you soon.
