viacoffeeon TaskMail – Fresh way to manage projects and issues

I completely agree.

viacoffeeon Building solar farms above the clouds

Although it has always been a good idea for something like this. I'd be surprised if the FAA allowed such a thing to happen. It would have to be a permanent NOTAM, and in an already existing no-fly zone for personal aircraft.
