Place to post pix of our steeds...?

[Jay Honeck]

Hey folks,

I've been sitting here thinking about our upcoming get together in OSH, and
I realized that not only don't we know what each other looks like, but --
worse! -- we don't know what each other's planes look like!

This seems to be a major failing of this newsgroup, if you ask me. I mean,
who among us doesn't like to show off our airplanes? It seems to me we
should have a central page for this purpose, no?

Whatdya think of the idea of having a page of pix (Maybe on our website? Or
someone else's? I don't care who does it.) of our birds?

Would you guys submit a photo of your plane for such an endeavor?

I would.Sounds like a neat idea.

I did that for the members of the Piper mailing list. You can see the
results at http://xcski.com/gallery/piper/ Anybody on that mailing list
is given the userid and password so that they can post their own pictures,
or make a sub-album. It seems to be pretty popular.

I don't know if I've got enough bandwidth to do hundreds of pictures, but
I could give it a try on the condition that I might have to shut it down.

Every program has two purposes -- one for which it was written and
another for which it wasn't.

Yeah, someone (Casey?) actually started down this road, with little
biographies and everything.

Unfortunately it was probably too grand a scheme to succeed. Even I didn't
want to spend THAT much time with it.

However, just a quick photo of your plane with a caption should be easy
enough to do. If I weren't such a doofus with webpages, I'd volunteer to do
it. (And, if I EVER get time to learn Dreamweaver, I still might.)

So, Paul, you want to try this? (I like your page for Cherokees!)

Googling my tail number (N9376J) will show numerous pics of my plane,
courtesey of the previous owner.

My plane is also immortalized on gaservingamerica.com, as is my picture.

Plane is in the 360 degree view of the parking area, I'm in the 360 degree
view of the FBO interior - yellow shirt.

Heh. You made me curious. I googled for my tail number N1701D, but all I got was
a bunch of Star-Trek stuff.

Well, if you're looking for me at OSH, you can remember my tail number, it's the
same as the Enterprise. Look for the ugliest Mooney you've ever seen, tan and
brown with chipping paint. Next year at OSH, you can look for the *prettiest*
Mooney.

All I got was a 1971 NTSB report for my aircraft.

Ok, I've created a gallery at http://xcski.com/gallery/recaviation/

Since this is just an experiment, I'd like to keep the number of people
using it down, so email me off-line for the userid and password so you can
add your pictures.

Hi Jay, I have often wondered about the same thing. I look at other
newsgroups, tallships, motorcycles, aviation pictures, etc. just for the
photo's. But who ever set up this newsgroup decided no attachments. As you
know many people have there own website where they post pictures. I do that
myself, I post pictures I have taken of a family event, and then let all the
family members know, this way they can go to the site and pick out the
photo's they want. This also works good for my son-in-law who is in the
Navy overseas. He can get on line and go to the site for updated pictures
of the kids and family. This way I'm not spending all my time trying to
e-mail pictures to everyone in the family. My .02 cents worth

Bandwidth here is not a problem, so if it is for Paul, I will graciously
host the images (or the whole thing, either way).

I'm on a residential cable modem. You're obviously better connected than
that, because you're doing full news feeds (thanks, by the way). So yeah,
if you've got the inclination, it would probably work better on your
system.

Jav, is there a way to link it to the inn's webpage in some way from *your*
end?

I can still create pages -- and I THINK I can create a new photo album
without trouble -- but every time I try to create a new link, FrontPage
crashes. (And Photoshop. And Dell Photo. And Windows Explorer...)

Mine had one in 1968 or 9. Shows in the logbooks as "replaced rodder",
spelling incorrect in the logbooks. Thanks to the NTSB for putting all that
old stuff online!

Sure - good idea.
