All,
I'll be flying on SWA today. Going up to BWI to pick up the kids. I'll be on SWA 2847 on the way up (departs MCO at like 2:50) and 255 on the way back (departs BWI at like 7:55). Feel free to track if you have the time. I'll try to post a trip report with pics when I return.
Thanks,
Scott

I took a bunch of photos from TO roll to roll out.. Decent cockpit shots too. How do you post them inside of threads? I guess you have to host them somewhere. I'll try to upload to the gallery in the next day or two. Decent flights though.. little choppy. Nice new 700 on the way back down. AW Certificate was dated 08-05-04. Brand Spankin' New!
It was shiny!!

Yep they have to be hosted somewhere, but our gallery will work.
Easy to put in the thread.
Works better if you have two browsers open. One with the gallery, and the second with the forum.
After you have uploaded to the gallery...
1. Click the photo you want for the full image.
2. While the mouse cursor is on the photo, Right Click. This will open a menu. Go to the bottom... PROPERTIES
3. Open Properties, and the address for the photo is listed.
4. Highlight and copy the address.
5. Go to the browser with the forum
6. To the left of the text box for your new message, you will see a bar "image". (If the bar is not there, click the button above the text box "ezcodes") Click the "image" bar.
7. A box will open. " will already be in the box ERASE this.
8. Paste the address that you copied from the gallery, and hit ok.
You are done!

OK.. I'll get a trip report up there with a bunch of details. You know how I can be with my posts. With the kids here, it will take me a while to get the post up that I want to be able to do.. I'll get it done though...
I'll be in the air again on Wed. so I will try to post some more then.
