[AG-TECH] Walk through installation and setup of AG2.0 on your existing AG

[Barbara A. Kucera]

That sounds good, Don.  We'll look forward to Jeremy participating.

When are you going to hook a camera to your cockpit so we can join you, via 
the AG, on those solo flights?

I understand about administrators not liking the small enrollments in the 
jointly taught accredited courses, but it would help if you/others 
enlightened them about the positive aspects resulting from their initial 
investment.  I'm sure you can add others benefits, but the positive aspects 
that I see are that their faculty are adept at using current technology, 
interacting with those developing the newest technology and having the 
vision to peek over the horizon and recognize what is coming.  All of this, 
of course, results in introducing your students to not only expanded access 
to knowledge in their area of interest, but also to the excitement and 
capabilities of the technology they're using to gain that knowledge.

Enjoy your time in that big sky!
