(April 2011) REMEMBER THE RIDE BOARDS at school? Students with cars would post notices of where they were headed during school breaks and invite other students to ride along. At the same time students looking for rides would post their trip requests. The system, with the notices thumbtacked to a bulletin board, worked well, and that’s how Harry met Sally. But you did have to check the board frequently to ensure you didn’t miss a ride.
Substitute the bulletin board for the Internet and cars for airplanes and you have a basic idea of the World Aero Club (worldaeroclub.org), which bills itself as “the international aviators network.”
