That's not how I would put it. Pilots can have several reasons for not wanting to climb (or descend, or turn, or do any other thing ATC asks). In most cases this would not have anything to do with being stubborn. The radio terminology is "unable", and that's what they probably were. It could be that they were too…

My method of getting off the plane is as follows:

At my daughters' school, the rules are that hair longer than shoulder length shall be tied back, and hair must be of a natural color. I'm fine with that.

Resistance ("weight lifting") is the answer. Here's an example of a very simple body weight workout that will have a big effect if you stick to it.

Word. Tiny mice are evil. Can't live without my Natural Wireless Mouse 7000. This is how big it looks next to lesser mice.

They're charging $75 for the beta. They were charging $150 for the alpha, which I happily paid.

Oops. Didn't even notice. That's what happens when old posts area linked to new ones. :)

Over the ear: Atomic Floyd AirJax with Remote. Sound at least as good as Shure, not made of plastic, look awesome.

Good stuff, but not as good as THEY say it is.

No love for Atomic Floyd? They sound great, feel solid due to metal construction, and have the added bonus of being gorgeous.

For many headphones, this is true. But not all. There are small manufacturers who really do make headphones from expensive materials, for example Atomic Floyd.

The N7000 has recently been superseded in both features (and high price) by the even more capable Nighthawk X6, which looks as if it is just about to unleash a torrent of alien destruction on an unsuspecting city.

Had the same experience going from the Asus to a N7000.

I've had very mixed experience with Airports. Some have loved Apple devices but on a mixed network it hasn't been fun. But that was a few years ago. Solid product nowadays, but I detest having to use a configurator. Really wish there was a web based dashboard option.

I've owned the Buffalo, the Asus and the Netgear N7000. I've installed the Netgear RT-N56U at several customer homes. All solid, but the Buffalo isn't in the same league IMHO. If nothing else the anteanna mounts are rather fragile.

My Netgear R7000 Nighthawk was rather expensive but it has great range, works flawlessly and looks pretty badass.

These demos are done at low weights. You wouldn't get nearly the same climb rate at maximum take-off weight. Also, using lower power settings, while using a bit more fuel, decreases engine wear. That's why few take-offs are at full power in airliners nowadays.

I'll add that it also led to research into flight control using only the engines, to the point that NASA tested landing without the traditional controls. If memory serves, some modern aircraft now have actual procedural provisions for this kind of emergency control.

Absolutely all true about the risk. Depends a lot on his training. One of my instructors used to do delivery flights. He said he did not very much enjoy being way out over the water, dressed in survival gear. He said that, "Basically you'd zoom your GPS way way out so that it didn't feel like you were so far from…
