    Why do we still have time zones?

    I understand the mechanics of the earth being round and revolving around the sun meaning the sun rises/sets at different times around the world. However, why don't we just schedule our work times/meals/etc based on our local sunrise/set? Do everything on Zulu time, if the sun rises at 1500...

    What's the mask/vaccine requirement situation in your area?

    If you want to argue over what we should do please go elsewhere so this thread doesn't get locked. The purpose of this thread is for those of us traveling to get a handle on what to expect. The question is what's the expectation on masks where you've been- not talking about ordinances or...

    Locating the runway

    So hypothetical... possibly common scenario: You are inbound for landing at an uncontrolled airport you've never been to before. You know what runway you want based on winds, the gps is telling you it's right in front of you 5 or 6 miles ahead. You know about where it should be in relation to...
