Sold at BIN

I still have my other big aviation site to manage, the Corporate Flight Attendant Community, which is the very first site I ever started way back in August 2002 [prior to that I participated on numerous other sites dating back to 1997, perhaps earlier]. No, it isn’t for sale and I will use a little of my now “free time” to do some needed changes to it.
The best part of the sale? Being able to spend additional time writing…my real passion in life!
