Flashback Fridays: Early All-Color Looks At Some of Our Stations

Jan 13 2012

Wanted: Individual(s) with access to a ridiculous number of expired aeronautical charts, scotch tape, and spare time

After the airport shuttle dropped me off outside our Headquarters building I did a quick office pop-in to let my Team know I had returned from Southeast Asia alive and well. I... read more

Every year—usually around late August or early September—when no one else in Dallas is thinking about sleigh bells, decking the halls, or dashing through fields of snow, the Southwest Choir begins singing about those very things.  Well, practicing for the Annual Holiday Program, anyway! The Holiday Program has been a December staple at HDQ for 20 years, and I LUV that I'm able to ... read more
