FAR is old terminology. 14 CFR is the new deal.

I think they had a bird strike at about 3:34!!! I imagine the view from the boats was epic.

NASCAR allows blocking in dangerous situations. Bumping has been encouraged as part of its lore. I suppose that if you enter one of their races you know what you are getting into.

Assuming you have a week you could take that magnificent car and drive to Montana and Wyoming and play on amazing mountain roads. I know Pebble is a great event, but a week with one of those warrants some driving!

Aerospace Engineer here. Evo and Mini in the garage. Two of my engineers have MGBs, one had an Exige S up until a year ago. Another engineer friend in the company drag races Mystangs. There are a number of muscle cars in the mix. I think you may work with the wrong engineers.

I’ve preached this here a number of times. People can live with fun cars. Have lives and careers. I’m 40, work as a white collar engineering manager at a big company. Meetings, vendor visits and all the baggage that goes aling with that. A respected member of the industry. A wife, a five year old and an 8 year old.…

I would agree with you. The flying bits did what the flying bits do. That said, this isn’t a question of the wing generating upwards lift, but the horizontal stabilizer (tail) producing a downwards force sufficient to raise the nose. Most people don’t realize that the horizontal stabilizers push down and not up to…

I was noticing that as well. I imagine it is good fun to walk on the top of the Space Needle.

I’m in 047! Right near Parkview

Lilburn here...yo! (That’s what you kids say, right?)

It’s an L-39, but I am right there with you.

Yep. She only missed one of our 7 races due to pregnancy. We are pretty sure she raced with our first child on-board.

d’oh!

If they really knew you were into red heads...

Yep. a good number of these ring true.

It depends on how it goes, is suppose. You can still get larger pieces than hand size f it doesn't go straight in. If they can take a look at the hinges for the flapperon they will get a good idea of the loads involved.

If you have been to a shoreline anywhere recently you can’t blame the guy. He was doing his job and likely had no orders to be looking out for stuff. Heck, you would need to tell the entire east cost of Africa to be on the look out. I’m sure now that they know there will be more eyes on the beaches and surrounding…

Basically, the port authority allows/makes the airlines pay for any updates. Delta dropped something like $2B on T4. They are pretty much doing the same for LGA.

Terminal 4 at JFK is really nice. Freshly built a couple of years ago.

Cool. I'm an aerospace engineer at a major U.S. carrier. Your numbers make sense. That said, that landing still looked a bit hairy.
