When I first came across this I couldn't make up my mind if I wanted to be a shooter or the pilot. I think, this is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. It's called "Gnat Shooting" and it's like Skeet/Sporting clays, but instead of shooting at little orange clay discs you're shooting at a 'drone airplane' loaded with pyrotechnic charges on-board. When you hit the drone it will either explode a cloud of white smoke or a 'direct hit' will down the airplane. These ATS Gnat Shoots have become very popular sport that charitable organizations are using them as fundraisers.

Recently I had to make airline reservations to go see my son graduate from the Navy. Have you priced airline tickets lately? What is with these baggage fees?

The airlines have gone nuts with all they charge, so I tried Southwest, amazingly they were more reasonable than the other airlines and they don't charge extra for bags. The lower airfare had me investigating as to why they are cheaper. As my investigation started I ran across this awesome video on how Southwest airplanes are made, and I wanted to share it with you.
