Congrats to skye1 on his 'Televised" MR !!
I woke up this morning and happened to have NBC's Today Show playing in the 'background'...All of sudden, I hear about an upcoming story on MR's,,,and wonder whether it could be someone I know or have heard about, or others have mentioned to me...
Lo and behold, the segment is about SKYE 1's STL-ORD-DFW-BOS-SNN adventure and 'why' we'd do these things.....I note that there's a thread on this in the MR forum, but I wouldnt' have found it had I not seen the TV segment. Perhaps it will be of interest to others who aren't 'regular' MR readers....
Congrats to skye1, and Best wishes, Dave

Very cool! Wish I'd seen it. I just looked through their news site to see if I could find a link after the fact. If there is one and someone happens to find it, would you post the URL here? Thanks!

John... this was SOOOO cool to see! Thank you for representing all of us who are mileage freaks in such a positive light.

Thanks for the kind words. For all who didn't get the heads up sooner, I regret not being able to get the word out sooner, but the green light from the producers that the show would be ready today just came last night, while I was away at a friends' Christmas party. I was still making trips to FedEx to get them stuff as late as Thursday night.

I'm not sure NBC will post it to their weekend today show or not...but I'm looking into it for you. For one, it's not an "essential" or "big time" story, so not sure if it will "make the cut" as far as stuff that gets put on line. I've got the e-mails & numbers of the producers involved, and I have to go over a few things post-show with them anyways, so I'll ask and if I hear anything, I'll let you know.
