Wow take a look at Airbus

In a recent story I just saw come across one of my feeds, I saw a story that Airbus is creating a new aircraft.  From the looks of it I am thinking it is only concept but the story really goes in to depth on the Airbus A30X.  It talks about the concepts most likely not being available for at least 15 years but one never knows and always hopes for a sooner more futuristic aircraft.  Here is the link to the story about it.    http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightblogger/2009/09/airbus-global-market-forecast.html At the end of this post I will include some pictures of the concepts that they are planning.

In other news I have started work on my own Travel & Photography website.  I plan on it having up to date news and info being piped in to it and I also hope to add my own 2 cents in to it from my experience in the travel industry.  I plan on posting all of my pictures from all of my travels on the site too and have a very extensive forums for people to come on and submit their own stuff and talk to others interested in the same thing.  The site is http://www.cinimod.net

I recently went to a Twestival event to help the St. Mary's Food Bank here is Arizona and had a lot of fun thanks to a fellow tweet @MsHerr on twitter.  I got some pictures not too many as I had brought my large camera not my small one and really was just trying to meet people.  If you want to know more about meetups in Arizona or anywhere else in the world like this they have a site devoted to these things http://twestival.com/

Thank http://www.flightglobal.com/ for the image of the Airbus Concept

Long week...Good Day...Review This

 

The travel industry is large and confusing.  I know everyone has questions about what they need, do, have and hear at the airports and in the airlines.  Well I am going to give you an insight into a part of the industry you don't get to see very often.  As a contract employee I get the pleasure of working for multiple airlines, sometimes working for even non airlines that provide a service to major airlines.  I currently am lead agent running a contract for http://www.jeppesen.com/ the leading company for flight manuals, tools and training.  What I do for them is deliver Flight Kits to UsAirways 757 and 737 aircraft.  These kits have in them aeronautical sky charts, FOM's (Flight Operations Manual), terminal chart etc.  The service I help Jeppesen provide helps pilots in a great way helping them so they do not have to carry that 25+ Lbs bag around with them anymore, keeps them up-to-date cause we change them out fresh every month and saves them time.  So that is a look at what small parts play in other parts of the industry.

Now because of this contract the first part of the month is the longest for me cause I work my other contract Airtran Airways at the same time.  For instance these last 2 days I worked straight through non stop 18+ hours a day.  I ran bags then help at Airtran then back to bags then Airtran etc etc.  Today is the first day I have had a chance to sleep in and relax.  I am thankful for my job but next month is supposed to be worse cause I am going to be picking up the Airbus' for UsAirways also.  So my boss plans on letting me not have to work Airtran and Jeppesen, instead only work Jeppesen.

Today is turning out to be good, I slept in, I have been able to accomplish some things on the internet and its just feeling like a good day.  I work but only tonight at 1930.

After talking to a friend about this certain product I thought I would come on here and tell everyone about it kind of bring up awareness about it.  The product I am talking about is the Eye-Fi Explore Card.  This card is amazing, it offers its users the ability to instantly upload their pictures and videos from their cameras when the get in to a wi-fi area.  The added advantage to it is "GeoTagging" this feature far outways any feature this card can do in my opinion.  This option gives you the ability to take a picture and have it tag where the picture was taken, this feature comes in handy for those of us that travel a lot and take lots of pictures, get home look through the pictures and forget where half of them were taken.  It also can come in handy for family sharing, imagine going on a family road trip starting in Phoenix ending in New York, as you are driving you take pictures and upload them to your Flickr account or what have you, but you dont have time to put detailed info on the picture.  Well now at least when your family looks at the picture they will be able to follow you and see ohh this picture was taken in ABQ New Mexico...DFW Texas etc.  Now this card can run you a bit more than normal.  This card you can find for around $80-$99 for 4gb of space.  Now 4gb may not sound like much but remember it will automatically upload your pictures to your picture website of your choice, allowing you to erase the pictures once that is done. 

At the bottom of this post I am going to give you some sites on reviews and prices and info of the Eye-fi card.
