Gese, I go back to the Airola (sp?) days, when Phil was just sending out a newsletter every now & then. Was that a school project Phil? I stayed connected until this site was born. I never came out until late last year, as up until that point all I had was a point & shoot. Now that I have the DSLR, it makes the "lens envy" not so bad.
Somebody mentioned it on JFKTower.com in June 05 and I've been hooked ever since.
i go back to the aireloa aviation email newsletters... that was some fun stuff....
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Phil sent me an email asking if I would like to join the forums, because of my work on creating the unofficial Jones Beach Air Show site. He said something about me being an asset to the airplane community or some crap like that, and I might be able to contribute. I still have no idea what he was taking about. But whatever, I enjoy this place nonetheless.
Shoot first, ask questions later.

haha. Aireola Aviation was a weekly newsletter. It started with an email to about 8 local guys just giving them an update on aircraft visitors. I ended up emailing the locals regularly, and then people wanted to be added to the list of recipients. Then I took my ****ty HTML skills and hosted it on Geocities, and then our membership soared internationally and into the triple digits very fast. Then Geocities' bandwidth limit caught up and the whole thing collapsed. That's really how this site was born.
Email me anytime at [email protected].

It was a wild night of passion if I remember correct the first time I heard about this silly little site, ahahaha :lol:
Dammit. As soon as I saw that you replied to this topic, I was ready to retaliate your answer with a remark like that. You beat me to it!!!!
Wait, isn't that how "Areola" Aviation was born? :)

wasn't that how you were born too? :lol: think i heard about it from Phil.Wait, isn't that how Areola Aviation was born? :)
Well it all goes back to the Straphanger Days where Phil and I were mods and pretty much ran those boards cause we're super sick like that.... Then you know Phil found out I was into aviation and we started talking about planes and stuff, and I showed him a.net, and then he decided to start his own newsletter, then website, so yea I pretty much credit any success Phil has with NYCAviation.com or any sort of aviation project in the future to myself, and therefore claim all royalties that come in from them, but since i'm a nice guy ill give phil a percentage of whatever i dont use....
