A bit of everything, ya know?

Posted by Me on 01 Apr 2008 | Tagged as: Varia

I started it in 2006, did a bit in 2007, but now it’s finally time to get moving (no pun intended!). I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time and it’s finally time. The early days of this blog were creative and to some extent useful and interesting with a focus on travel. The goal in this new wave is now to expand to different topics, many on travel but some on other areas of our lives. So that’s where we’re at… a little bit of everything, ya know? 

What is a flight line and why is this one yellow?

First of all, thanks for visiting my travel blog. I hope to discuss different issues regarding travel, flights, hotels, and vacations in general.

Ok, so you’re wondering why the name of this website is “Flight Line Yellow?” I wanted the site’s name to be related to aviation and most of the best names were taken. Since I’ve been known to be creative, I put that to the test on this one.

I did a search for acronyms for the word “fly” and came across this website which had the following:

Acronym  Definition
FLY  Butterfly (swimming)
FLY  Flight Line Yellow
FLY  Flying

I bought the name, set up the blog, and here I go.

By the way, according to Princeton University, a flight line is the place where airplanes are parked. The term also refers to maintenance hangars.

I also found this visual definition of the term. This one implies that a yellow flight line is one in which a certain amount of space is covered within a pilot’s flying range.

If anyone knows more about technical terms related to flight lines, let me know! I’ll be sure to discuss it at a later date.
