I can’t take credit for the curriculum. It was created by the Airplane Owners and Pilots Association. I would like to propose it to the New York City Board of Education and local high schools.
Good luck - I’m sure the students would enjoy the opportunity

Good for you - sounds like a great plan - I would have loved a curriculum like that in high school. I got my license in ’76 in a Cessna 150 - type rated in the 172, 305, Piper Warrior, Archer, Beechcraft Bonanza, Navy T28 Trojan and finally the Twin Comanche PA-30. I love flying and will always remember this poster given to me when I got my license

Those blimp hangers had to be at Moffet Field, right?
Yes - I was stationed there ’80 ~ ’86. It was good times.

It’s an Echeveria and the leaves are drooping because it needs more light. Look it up on google to get details and how to fix.

A quick synopsis - A disk image copies the operating system, including the boot sector, and all of the hidden files and programs that are needed to run the system. These files and programs are normally hidden and you need to get inside the operating system to see them. It also copies all of the programs and apps you have installed along with add-on’s that those programs have installed. It copies the registry which is a critical component of the operating system. The program will map the image to be an exact copy of the C drive so it has to read the drive, calculate the location of all the data bits and write them in the same sequence to the receiving medium. Also note, disk image is a great way to restore a corrupted system but be aware that it is tied to that specific system and generally cannot be used on another system.

My first experience with an earthquake was in Millington, TN in the mid 70’s. Found out that the Mississippi river is part of the New Madrid Seismic Zone which is the most active fault zone in the USA. Second, and subsequent experiences were in San Jose, CA in the ‘80s (San Andreas Fault) - thankfully no injuries to family or friends. One quake was a roller (like a ripple in a lake) and it popped a blimp hangar door off that fell on a couple of vehicles and flattened them.

Looks like safety to me - a lot of farms are going to multiple lights around the yards and buildings for theft prevention...

Hurray! Hopefully other software can be devised to protect the property rights other artists like musicians or photographers whose intellectual property was stolen without authorization or compensation by scum like Sam Altman CEO of OpenAI.

Glad it provided good memories Shellback. I was a civilian Aerospace engineer for the Navy for 26 years doing in-service engineering, but the only time I got out of CONUS was about 250 miles off of the coast near San Diego when I spent 3 days on the Kitty Hawk trying to resolve a landing gear issue on the S-3. We flew on and off in a C-1; got a trap, but they deck ran us off, so no cat shot.
Still fun though

Nice pictures - thanks for the memories. 
Another trip down memory lane - NSA Naples is a United States Navy Base that is located at the Naples Airport. The naval base is home to both the United States Sixth Fleet and the United States Naval Forces Europe. When deployed to the Med on a ship, Naples becomes your temporary home port and we became very familiar with the beautiful city while there for 6 months.
