After this incident, he should retire.

I think that has to do with the turn camber. Basically, if it' a minus, it's falling off to the outside. If it's a plus, it's a positive camber turn (banked to hold you into the turn.) Am I right here? Anyone?

Holy shit. That's brilliant!

Strep test.

Motto for a wife.

Yeah, you're most likely right. Tough to tell but if there was significant, immediate pitch up like it appears, I too doubt they pulled it up. Just looks like it's extending right before impact, but I'm now thinking it's the angle and you just can't see it until then.

Yep. Exactly right, Scrambler. You can even see (I think) that he or she deploys the landing gear right before impact. Keeps on trying to save it... Horrific.

SS1 wasn't commercial and never intended to be. Just a private proof of concept. SS1 was distinguished because it was a wholly private venture and the first to get to space on private funds. SS2 is the commercial vehicle. So, in actuality, while this is the first commercial vehicle to go past Mach 1, it wasn't a

And, for an extreme refueling while banking example...

Incorrect. They do indeed back while refueling. A quick search on "banking while refueling" will help, except you may get some responses pointing to making deposits while drinking coffee.

Hey, all. Another DMV Jalop here. This may be obvious, but thinking it should be someplace with good drink and food, easy to get to, and plenty of parking. Was going to suggest Mad Fox brewing in Falls Church, but all parking is in a garage. What about Dogfish Head Alehouse in Seven Corners? Easy to get to, lots of

Thanks for this. Been considering one of these for a while. As a Virginia resident where radar detectors are illegal, do folks think I'd be subjecting myself to multiple stops from John Q. Law who might get the wrong impression? Seems like if I drove through a trap with one of these up above the dash, they'd be on me

And let's not forget some excellent flying as well in a beautiful Beech 18. I think I will indeed watch this weekend. What a great flick and, yes, Mr. Winters was great.

"I see OJ!"

This makes sense to me. "Look at me! I'm from the South side!" [Serpentine!]
