My Dad went to show a friend of his the FAA database and that his son is a pilot. It didn't find me so he called me. I checked and low and behold it didn't find me. It now even asked me for a state or country to search! I had requested my address not be displayed very shortly after getting my...

All this is for Fleet Week activities....

Heh.. Where is here some web gallery about site creators? I'm need it. For example, as here - Google, I'm really have seen it here. Good luck!

Jay, I know that you already have your rooms setup with different themes. But, do you have a bar and does it have a theme? As a huge Jimmy Buffett fan I thought that you might like the idea of designing it similar to the "Lone Palm" located in Orlando, Florida. Jimmy Buffett is also a pilot and...
