the "Vehicle: N/A as in Not Applicable, not Naturally Aspirated" makes perfect sense to me now that I know what you do

I used to work part-time as an Airport Ops Tech, I know how it goes

As a vehicle on a movement area you don't "taxi" you "proceed"

No I really just don't own a car/vehicle for transportation. I should really correct that situation.

back when I was on night shift I would pick up 2 planes from the gate and taxi them back to the hanger every night. typicaly i was leaving Ramp (x) and "transfering to TOC". almost always response was transfer approved take Foxtrot merge onto Echo to TOC, sometimes holding short at Charlie or Dixie for traffic.



yea here in ATL we have to say Dixie not Delta due to 80% of all aircraft being Delta

IT Admin for a large construction company on the west coast. One of the cool perks to this job is that I get to fly out to our other offices located in Washington and L.A frequently. Sometimes I get to ride on the corporate jet if it happens to be flying down to one of the offices I need to visit that day. Most of the time this job ends up being more than 8 hours a day.



After hours if I have time im either helping friends out with their tech related issues or building up computers for people. During race season I spend more of my spare time working on my cousins dirt track car that we race at local tracks.
