Clearly, she wasn't.

This takes me back to my AM radio days. I hadn't realized this song was written by Stevie Wonder, but knowing that, it sure sounds like his style.

Cartoons are exaggerated and simplified for comedic effect, but to be funny or poignant they must illuminate real life situations. Automation has lightened the workload of…

Patrick, speeding tickets are not about revenue. They are about safety.

Oppo's hometown boy makes good! Congrats Automatch, er, Tom!

This would be done in order to improve aerodynamics at the front of the aircraft.

Wish I could find a higher res version of this cartoon. But I think it sums this up pretty well. It's what you get when you let engineers, rather than pilots, make the decision.

You must not live in Texas...

And HOT. Temperature, I mean.
