LL0259 – Jie Atvyko Motociklais They Arrived On Motorcycles   Hi everybody! Jack is back. It’s been so long since I last published an episode, you must have wondered if you were ever going to hear a new one.   2011 was an amazing year and I was so busy I couldn’t even think of putting together any new episodes. In the past I think we did a pretty good job of not telling you where we were. Did you ever figure it out? I don’t think we gave out many clues. We were recording in Longmont, Colorado in the United States. Longmont is a small town about 35 miles north of Denver.   After a 30-year career as an air traffic controller, I finally retired from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). An air traffic control company hired me and I was whisked off to Kansas City, Missouri, then Columbia, South Carolina, Chicago, Illinois, Istanbul, Turkey, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and finally Kabul, Afghanistan.   I controlled air traffic in Kabul for only three months before I had to leave.
