The new site of the week is My Pilot Store, which is a site for online shopping for about anything for pilots: headsets, GPS, training aids, books, software, etc.

Yesterday's election here in St. Petersburg over Albert Whitted Airport was a resounding success. By a 3-1 margin, voters decided to keep the airport open permanently. There was a well-funded drive in favor of turning the airport site into a waterfront park (which most of us believe is a coded way of saying luxury condos). The city already has several nice waterfront parks, some within walking distance of the airport. Personally I'd like to see some of the parks converted to airports. :) There is also a major issue of FAA grants the city accepted for the airport; those cannot be simply ignored.
