You could try blendle. Articles from the NYT for roughly 15 cents. If you close the article within, I believe, 15 seconds, the money is refunded to avoid penalties for misclicks.

Safety is not only looking back, but looking forward as well. The manual trim in the Max is the same as in the NG. This means a high speed manual trim will be a problem in the NG. Just because it never happened doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen in the future. With this information Boeing has to either change existing…
It got away from them because Boeing screwed the pooch on this one. I fly the 737 NG, have been flying it for 10 years. You cant just blame this on the crew. They company I work for is supposed to introduce the MAX in 2020 based in Europe and in the JACDEC top 10 of safest airlines. Our training department has…
You’re not adjusting trim tabs with the trim, you are manually adjusting the entire stabilator. Hence the amount of force required. Pulling the CB’s (not the rudder mind you) will have the same effect as the stab cutout switches, so you would still have to manually trim. BTW the CB’s are behind the pilots. Boeing…
Thing is, in certain conditions, it’s near impossible to manually trim the aircraft due to the aerodynamic forces involved. Basically you have to unload the aircraft before you’re able to manually trim. That maneuver requires altitude, which they may not have had. Not taking into account muscle fatigue after fighting…
Not the first time.
Spot Messenger or the Garmin inReach are perfect for those.
Well NOAA and NASA EO articles suggest otherwise.
Awesome video! The best I’ve seen so far,is the roll/spiral maneuver in the crevasse in the video . Valentin has complete control over every aspect of that roll, incredible...
My first thought was, this must be China, this could never happen in the Netherlands. I stand corrected. I'll drive over it tomorrow on my way to Germany.
Gravity.
Not the first and probably not the last time. Some time ago they even showed stingers which were used by Ukranian rebels. The ultra special ‘racking trainer’ missiles also happened to be used in battlefield games.
Dead man switch, the train will emergency brake the moment he lets go of that switch. There is no controlling the train once derailed. For all intents and purposes, leaving the cabin did not in anyway worsen the situation, just as staying would not have improved the situation. So running into the pax cabin probably…
You beat me to it.... :(

Obligatory Futurama reference...
Winglets are just one tool to deal with induced drag. The 787 has a raked wingtip. The spitfire for example has an elliptical wing. The 777, not the X, has a divergent trailing edge. So not every plane has winglets.
Had to undergo this one at the Centre for Man and Aviation in the Netherlands.

When are you opening a European HQ? Actually the first time I feel some kind of transatlantic envy.
Only 4 hellfires. Which you miss out on anyway because you miss a station / hardpoint. Only familiar with the -701C’s, but I imagine the -64E with upgraded -701D engines and rotor blades (and gearboxes to go with it?) would have no problem dealing with that extra load.
