Re: How are baby airplanes made?

Food for thought.... TCAS warnings are indeed inhibited at low altitudes otherwise you'd get them on every landing In those conditions (freezing fog) the SWA undoubtedly had to line up and then perform a standing takeoff where he performed engine runups/ice shedding before releasing the brakes. This...

Re: A heinous crime against both nature and humanity.

Fruit and pizza is an abomination However, that's nothing compared to the unholy carnage of mixing Fruit and Beer.

Re: No one died

I was in and out of JFK on that night. The wind was relatively strong out of the southeast off the water and it was bringing in continuous banks of maritime fog. You'd get occasional periods of better than 5000RVR and then 5 minutes later it was 1000RVR. We briefed a CAT II Autoland but the problem ...

Re: Flyover International Airport (and surrounding countryside)...FAO: Verbal

I don't know.....the food in the A gates terminal kinda sucks.

On my last layover, my run got screwed up because they've dug up the whole park around the arch.

On the bright side, you can still see the old TWA schoolhouse building when departing 29

Re: MD-80 Troubles, Latest News.

Well, I'm here in Nashville and the 717 is sitting here on the ramp undergoing an engine change, so I'm guessing that there's more going on than 'turbulence' causing the cowl to fly off.

PS, 3WE, if you see Maddog headed into flyover airport inthe next couple hours, wave hi

Re: Singapore Air Jet Loses Power on Both Engines at 39,000

I am aware of at least two dual engine failures at my airline over the years.....both of them were operator error induced.

In a similar vein, perhaps this airliner continued its flight because there was nothing 'wrong' with the engines when they were shut down

Re: Indiana Jones and the Safety Statistics of Hobby Flying

This is Mr Ford's third aviation incident. In the first he severely damaged a helicopter during autorotation practice. In the second, he dinged up a wing during a landing in bad weather. The third is yesterday's

Once is bad luck. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.
