During flight training you are required to do a night time flight into a Class C or Class B airport. I did mine into John Wayne International, sequenced in between two 737's (very exciting). While I don't believe that the pilot was a student pilot, you could argue that he was performing proficiency training and the…

I'm very liberal, anti guns, pro free healthcare and education and very much grateful to anyone going to war and thereby putting their life at risk to prevent extremists from detonating suicide bombs in our streets.

In other news: Bernie supports reverse glasnost and wants the cold war back!

I was given so much shit for supporting our troops in a post yesterday... But reading this, this makes it all worth it!!!

I didn't expect most of the comments to side with the flight attendant... We should be grateful for the sacrifice our soldiers make to preserve our freedom. Hanging his jacket would have been a small and kind gesture... Policy or not!

Here's the check in rules for domestic and international flights:

Sports and Politics do not mix, a custom that the Catholic church should introduce with priests and alter boys!!!!

That looks like NAS Coronado in San Diego... Is that at festival of speed?

It is a sad day when the Germans refuse to go to war...

I think most Danes would be offended by that label...

So there are a few things we need to distinguish from each other.

I read an article recently that the new data connections will have 50 Mbit bandwidth. If you only transmit voice and flight data (Flight data could probably be handled by a 56 K modem) it should take up less than a few % of the capacity. Adding video would of course significantly change that, but cockpits are not…

Yeah, but for Kristin that might only be afterlife depending on what Patsy does with that .38!

She is not even hot, well maybe for Wisconsin she is...

I would be surprised... Kevin has been taking the car to its full potential this season and Mclaren wouldn't kick out a driver they have been cultivating for years through sub F1 programs to replace him with Alonso and have two cocks in the hen house. To be honest, Alonso and Hamilton both have the worst personalities…

With all the planes getting data connections via satellite, wouldn't it be cheaper and faster to have a constant stream of voice and data sent to central servers? Bandwidth requirements should be minimal and it would enable the NTSB to download the recordings as soon as they know about the incident, before a search is…

That BMW is sooo gorgeous!!!

How the hell do you get your pants off with handcuffs on???
