Aren't these all Mode I ALCS approaches? I can't image why a UAV would fly an overhead approach. Mixing these in with humans is going to be interesting.

Keep flying that toy, kiddo, and stay out of the real things.

"We make helicopters AND guitars!"

Yes, but with the addition of a "yellow box" that tricked the ECU you could hit the car's true top speed. YouTube has a bunch of a stock 850CSi hitting 300 kph on the Autobahn.

Uh, Buicks, Caddies, and Lincolns don't do 185 mph. In fact, everything else from BMW in the 90s didn't either.

Actually, discussing ATC communications is a worthy subject on a board with cars/autos in that it underscore the need for clear communications and precise readbacks. I, as a pilot, am used to this. 99% of my working compadres are not and thus I'm always pinging them to "read back" instructions, or at least…

Uh, given the interminable wait for jackass travelers to grab all the crap out of the overhead and trundle forward to the ONE exit, I'd kill to use one of these back stairs babies. I boarded and exited DC-9s and 727 in the 70s this way. I wouldn't call it stupid.

Last of the jet you could reasonably fly without the hydraulic boost operating and only rely on the control cables transmitting the yoke forces to control tabs on the surfaces. DC was supposed to stand for Douglas Commercial, but really means "direct cable"

Oh, fer crissakes, guys. TR6. End of discussion.

Scary thing about the Espada is that it comes up to your belt buckle. Saw one recently on the 10 in WLA and 4 decent-sized guys were onboard. You look *down* on them regardless of the car you're in.

I guess that's the point. In-n-Out is "freeway food", i.e., usually situated right off the freeway and true to its name - a fast detour for a meal. Habit is more of a neighborhood setup, or at least it was before it became a full-blown chain. It's funny now, but in the 90s while dining at the Goleta store on…

Santa Barbarans drive *past* the In-n-Out off Turnpike to get to the original Habit in Goleta. That says something.

Look up "boundary layer". Hence, that thing you refer to as a "gap".

Actually, eye, 2 hands, and *feet* coordination. First-time fixed-wing passengers are amazed at how much pedal you're pushing while maneuvering a helicopter. Also managing the collective (power) without overtemping the engine or overtorquing the transmission is another talent.

While the pilot is good, that ship is even better.

Still wishing 'n hoping PL/I makes a comeback. PROC OPTIONS(MAIN); just rolls off the tongue.

Nothing MB may build today will ever top the original W-100, short or long wheelbase. Paul Bracq's and Bruno Sacco's design is timeless in its brutal elegance. And don't forget the locomotive horn buried in the front right wheelwell.

Well, it use to have Toyota and Northrup Grumman, but they left. Just waiting for Chevron to pick up and leave. But hey, we have that capitalist petting zoo they call "Silicon Valley." That'll save us!

You're saying it's business friendly?

I lived in West L.A. for a while and we lived on a street Reagan transited to his home in BelAir. I figure at most 10 cars/war wagons, plus LAPD motorcycles doing the "intersection leapfrog". Fairly low key. And this was after he was shot.
