WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Aviation-Safety.net

Aviation-Safety.net

Flying is still much safer than driving, but have you ever wondered where you can find up-to-date information on airliner accidents and safety issues? The Aviation Safety Network (ASN) is a good place to start. Founded in the Netherlands in 1996, it covers accidents and safety issues with regards to airliners, military transport planes and corporate jets. Their database contains detailed descriptions of over 10,700 incidents, hijackings and accidents.

: Name: Johnny Jet; Location: L.A., (but I'm rarely home)

I used to be afraid to fly (long story). Moved to California from Connecticut at 21-- that's when I conquered my fear. In college I started dating a bona fide princess from Hong Kong. She was accustomed to flying Biz Class. I had ONLY flown coach -- and I had never been overseas. When she invited me home, I couldn't let the opportunity slip by. I (okay, my dad) bought the seat next to her from a consolidator. I picked the right time to have my first out-of-coach experience. WOW! What a difference-- A nice phat seat, some hot towels, a little sorbet to clean the palate, non-stop food, beverages and movies. When I returned to the U.S. I felt like a new man. I started working as a college recruiter. While traveling my 26-state territory on a tight budget, I learned traveling in style on a budget was possible. I started a weekly newsletter and JohnnyJet.com to share my tips. Three months later USAToday made JohnnyJet.com website of the week and now it's my full time job.
