Can't forget Tegucigalpa... and this is done in 757s.

Lukla's a special case though...can't get in there with an A320. For large airliners, the scary airports are the old Kai Tak, and Tegucigalpa.

Exactly. The footage of his arrest is evidence of the surroundings of his arrest. It would certainly be admissible in court in his defense, if he was charged...thus, it certainly is evidence that was destroyed.

Destruction of evidence is a crime, and one that commits that crime should go to jail...regardless of having a badge.

China has Z-9 helicopters in operation, and have for years. They used several of them to provide aerial coverage for the 08 Olympics. They look identical to Eurocopter AS365 Dauphins. This Z-19 is likely an adaptation of Eurocopter's AS565 Panther multirole helicopter.

They rent from the Forest Service, not the Park Service. Regardless, how different is it from any public area being rented by a private entity for an event? Say, Bryant Park NYC for Fashion Week...the whole park is shut down, covered in tents and access is restricted to credentialed individuals. Same deal here.

I've always wanted the shirt.

Also should be mentioned is the follow-up billiards movie, "The Color Of Money", with Tom Cruise in addition to Paul Newman.

This has nothing on the Bangladesh ship breaking yards, where everything is done by hand with torches. Interesting 60 Minutes piece on it: [www.cbsnews.com] .

I don't believe it would have to be reported to the NTSB as there was no significant damage to the airframe. Also, in many places in the US (and likely in Mexico) one is out of radar coverage and at low altitudes, out of radio contact with any ATC facility. While a mayday into the blind on 121.5 is good practice, all…

Not only will a jet glide (as pointed out here), but most jets will glide much BETTER than a Cessna 172. A 172 such as this has a glide ratio of about 9.1:1 at Vg. A commercial airliner typically has a glide ratio closer to 18:1.

Just being pedantic, but it's not "uncompressed" 4K video. R3D/Redcode (Red One/Scarlet/Epic) files are compressed, however they are RAW files so all adjustments and decoding must be done on the fly. RED cameras have the ability to adjust the compression between 3:1 and 18:1...however, it is always compressed.

" Twitter just a company that could put an end "

This is also badass and can maneuver in places helicopters can't go:

Tabb (mentioned in the post above) flew the Canon C300 last fall in Vincent Laforet's Möbius short film.

A Lamborghini LM002? OK, that shows a little bit of creativity there. Not many of those floating about...just over 300 produced.

At the $10k limit, the excess currency must be declared but one can still travel with it.

discrete =/= discreet. #petpeeve

Just don't follow the FB link in this article, since it's broken!

Cool product, but might want to change the name from "iPen" to dodge those "iSueEveryone" lawsuits Apple dishes out.
