An interesting theory
NTSB report apparently is out on the Caravan that crashed in Burley IA a while back. Our speakist Juan has an interesting theory on a partial cause of the accident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWCkzJEpcnw Report (PDF): https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestRepo...

Aeroplanies on the telly
Has anyone here seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtL60wk4gys I watched it (just the pilot, and yes what a pun that is) and while it wasn't awful, I'm having trouble understanding why people seem to love it so much (7.0 on IMDB). Someone in the comments praised it for its "technical ac...

A good use for AI?
