Two More Additions to the Rec.Aviation Rogue's Gallery...

Go to http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm to see:

- From Wyoming, Ben Haas' brand new Zenith 801...
- From New York, Peter Riccardielli's beautiful Skyhawk SP...

In less than a month this page has grown to show 47 "member's" planes,
representing 28 States, Canada, and the United Kingdom! Who'd ever have
believed it?

Let's see your pride and joy! Send a few pix and a short narrative
description to me at , and I'll add 'em to the
gallery!

I'll never forget when I first saw something like this. The net was new (I
was customer 12 for the first company to offer dial up connectivity to
individuals in the state) and I didn't know any of the acronyms.

I found a site of pictures with just people's names. They weren't personals
and I eventually figured out it was just what Jay is doing, a companion to a
newsgroup site so people could put faces to the names. I went to the site
and discovered that all these normal looking people liked to tie each other
..... well, that's when I learned what BDSM means.

I suppose they think we are just a weird and crazy

Hey Roger,

Let's see if I understand this correctly -

I went to the site
and discovered that all these normal looking people liked to tie each other
.... well, that's when I learned what BDSM means.


I eventually figured out it was just what Jay is doing - Huh?


Does anyone know what kind of soundproofing they use at Alexis Park Inn?

Just to set the record straight, I meant the similar site I looked at 10
years ago.

I can only imagine what goes on in Iowa but have no first hand knowledge

Actually, when the hotel was built (from '79-'81) there were hopes of
getting airline service back in Iowa City. (They lost it in '72...)

As a result, the place is INCREDIBLY sound-proofed. We discovered the
double-sheets of dry wall when we tried to use a standard toggle-bolt, and
the toggle wouldn't reach through to the back side of the drywall.
Everything is two layers thick.

Because of this, you can have a rap group practicing in the next suite, and
you'll never know it. ;-)

That's one way of getting what's known as 1-hour construction (fire
resistant for an hour).

. . .the place is INCREDIBLY sound-proofed . . .

Actually Jay, we are all much more interested in Rogers observation:
"and I eventually figured out it was just what Jay is doing"

We assume that you will let us know when it is up on the video page?

Just a few years back when we had a vocal group that lived off the
south end of 18/36 complaining about the noise in their newly built
half million dollar plus homes, A church off the SW end of the 06/24
decided to do an expansion.

They actually did a noise study in which I had the privilege of
helping. They had several of us...a 210, my Deb (with the 2 blade
prop-- hmmm...it has been more than just a few years) and a couple
other planes. they had us doing take offs and landings most of one
afternoon.

The 210 was the loudest at 90 db about half a city block from the
departure flight path. I was a bit behind him except for one time
when I didn't get the RPM back as soon as normal. I hit 93 db.

At any rate, the church went ahead with their expansion. Although
I've never been there, they tell me you don't normally even hear the
planes flying over.

To me, it'd really take *faith* to build right off the end of any
runway. :-))

At the risk of starting down the religion path again, I would call their
decision "unwise", at best...

Sooner or later, the law of averages will catch up with them.

Well, it *is* an aviation-themed hotel. What else did you think the
"Tiedown Suite" was for? :-)
