Thanks Frank, Great ideas.


I see that some pilots here at the U.S. 15m nationals are taking the
time to send out an OK message after landing back at the home
airport. Not a bad idea, as this sort of 'caps off' the flight with
an email and/or cellphone text message to confirm safe return. I
think I'll start doing that myself ;-).
