REFLECTOR: Thanks, great resource!

[Mike Dawson]

As I stated before scheduling was difficult but at least my DAR got back to me.
Never did well with the office side of the Tracon, FSDO, however, the guy that I worked with in MIDO was cool. He actually did the work with the rocket velocity guys and had the pictures to prove it. I guess a few of us F.A.A.ers, are ok...LOL.
