    Great video, Chris! I can't believe you mentioned my elevator enthusiast friend of mine (Ryan Frisby aka Life's Ups and Downs), because me and him are elevator enthusiasts. But we love your videos. I might start doing planespotting in the near future. I would have to do it at CVG because my local airport (LEX) is very small. And for a 22-year-old aircraft, this is awesome! And I like the American Way magazine although they're gone because it had Louisville on it. Although I don't live in Louisville anymore. I would rather fly out of Cincinnati (CVG) for flight travel. Can't wait for the next video!

Also, I have found out that some of the members are a bit curt and a bit abrupt in their answers and they make you feel small. I don't know what is with these people?
    Is it that some of them have a problem and feel superior? Not very pleased with some of these folks. It must be the military in them.
