Um, not quite.

Helicopters only require the tail rotor for anti-torque if the main rotor is actively producing substantial torque. You can lose a tail rotor in flight and maintain control so long as main rotor torque is reduced by lowering collective and entering autorotation (this is part of basic helicopter…

In my travels I have never seen such a large populous of materialistic zombies.

there are several affluent neighborhoods and the majority of those harbor very synthetic people who feel money makes them better, and who strive to show everyone just how wealthy they are by constantly trying to appear status quo.

As someone from the west side of the metroplex, I don't entirely disagree with you, but if you have ever spent time or lived in any other large metro area (LA, NYC, Chicago, etc) then you'd realize it is exactly the same everywhere.

I would actually argue its a bit more mild in Dallas than most other places with…

Well the real question remains, why did he not list himself as author by name on the content, or anywhere on that site (other than an isolated salutation of "Ty", which is the only way I made the connection)?

Wait wait wait.....YOU'RE the author of all the stuff on aviationintel.com?

All the stories with the author name of "aviationintel.com" in the dateline was really you? Why the obfuscation

In a helicopter rotors held to the mast using a single nut called a Jesus nut, for obvious reasons. That means that a $25 Million MH-47G Chinook is held in the air with two nuts that cost less than $500 each.

In a coaxial helicopter, when in autorotation your pedals have the reverse effect and yaw the helicopter in the opposite direction.

If there's no clutch pedal involved, I don't buy it. So while yeah, DSG is better than a slushbox or CVT, I don't give them a second look.

Hopefully this kind of thing keeps Audi from diving headfirst into the automatic-only lineup for the B9 series as they have hinted

All I care about is whether or not it will actually be available with a manual in the USA as discussed this summer

As we've discussed, BMW is the king of German luxury car mountain, but there are princes vying for the throne... or maybe dukes? Is it a duke? I don't really get how monarchies work.

Shoulder or HOV lane?

Yup, little Ducati badges on the trunk and most of them had ducati graphics on them as well (e.g. the hood on this A1).

No kidding! The Audi buyout seems to have influenced things a bit. This was a few weeks back when I was there....parking lot full of "Ducati" badged Audis.

Reynolds numbers at 200+ miles per hour are a bit different than they are at 70

You pretty much HAD to write this piece after the first one was full of knee-jerk dickwad "rocket scientist" quotes who were only too happy to crawl out of the woodwork for the quintessential "told you so" moment regarding NO2.

Interesting all the 20/20 hindsight hand-wringing about NO2, when the fuel and oxidizer tanks fell to the ground intact.
