I was trying to look at where my father lived in Ireland but it just showed the streets. I was looking at equipment for my masonry business and my house a mile away. It was funny ti see everything in the yard for free. Years ago it was top secret.

Looks like the photos of MSR are pretty recent. It even includes the new 1.3 track.

Yeah, within the last 1 and a half years. The pavement isn't down on the 1.3 and there are no houses on the north east side of the track

I'm going to put out a note to everybody soon regarding April and May. I'll be available to teach/drive - $250/day plus expenses. I can even bring my DL1 data for a bit extra. I can get you 2 seconds at VIR without even thinking about it...which is good 'cause it hurts when I do that.

I know! My dad used to tell us when we were kids that the satellites could see everything we were doing when we were out playing. Of course that made us want to do even more naughty things instead of less!

Falcon, congrats on not spilling anything on the placemat.
My placemats are never that clean after a meal.
I still have trouble seeing a place with white linen table cloths being called the Tavern, maybe that's just cause I'm from WI and most "tavens" you can throw peanut shells on the ground.

I hope to visit the VIR tavern this year sometime.
