increasingly routine workplace hazard.

Doesn’t take much to baffle you guys, does it?

In flight these swirls flicker as the engine rotates at high speed, scaring birds and allowing them to fly clear of the engine.

This guy is an idiot.

No Latitude? Loved that service.

This is a situation where a normal (meaning, not Indiana Solo) pilot would lose his licence ASAP.

Casey Chan has some serious competition for creating the most idiotic posts here.

800 miles in an airplane = what? 2hr flight, 1hr at airport, 30m leaving the airport for a total of 3.5 hrs. I’ll take the flight!

Good luck trying to use logic and common sense in this place.

There are a number of variables, but I believe that it could fly (maintain altitude and have adequate climb capability) with four engines. However, it would need to have somewhat symmetric thrust (B-52's have a relatively small vertical stabilizer and rudder). So three engines on one side and one on the other would be…

For a while Foxtrot Alpha was the only Gawker site that wasn’t wall-to-wall election whiners.

It’s been illegal to land helicopters on buildings in NYC for many years.

Okay... I’m seriously impressed.
