Each pirep has a number of pictures, so they take a while to load. The text loads almost immediately, so you can be reading while the pictures load.

PEANUT PIREPS
(betcha can't read just one)

This is a separate section of Airbum.com that reproduces the short little "sidebar" pireps and aircraft profiles I've been doing for Model Airplane News for years. In 500 words, or so, I rip through the high points of the airplane trying to give a feeling for its personality and use. You can read through one of these in a minute or two. Great for killing time while you're on hold:
