Another one (especially the second stall)

…and what was wrong with the 717 recovery? Not sure. They seem to follow the procedure "too much" to the letter, first confirming that they are in a nose down attitude (which they initially where, but they were almost 180-degrees inverted with a not so bad nose-down pitch initially by the...

That's a doble post! This one too: In a report released January 2, the NTSB said both accidents occurred during manufacturer-required stall tests following routine maintenance. Crews were properly qualified for normal operations, but investigators found they were not adequately trained for the extre...

I'm not sure it's so easy to know which ones are "safe" and which are not. Fair point. With Trump nobody (maybe including himself) know what he is up to. That said, I suspect (but I don't know) that Kim Jong Un, Anwar Ibrahim, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud or even Putin have much to worry ...

In any case, even if it was morally justified, it is funny to see Trump's cherry picking in what cases to intervene and in what cases not. Whatever the reason, I don't think t is related with the suffering of the people of the chosen countries. I also don't think it's a drug issue, or Venezuela wou...

Indeed! And some times it's the other way around

Fun times...

Indeed!

I did not puppy mill, but went to a small private aviation college in Minnesota, went only half-time since I had a full-time job. Nothing particularly interesting prior to the regionals, which is why it took me over seven years to go from my first flight to my first regional job. Spent almost six y...

Mixed feelings on that one. On one hand, no country has the right to mess on the matters of another independent sovereign country. On the other hand, when most of the people is suffering, it is good to have some help. I would hate to have another holocaust with the world just watching and not interv...

Dan already solved the case, determined the probable cause, and issued recommendations.

Cool video, though.

It’s NOT_a Christmas movie!!!!!

ChatgGPT disagrees. Therefore you are wrong.

It’s NOT_a Christmas movie!!!!!

But the first one definitively is.

Disappointing plot twist. There was not one pilot on board but 2, and neither of those were incapacitated (not at least due to medical condition, hypoxia or the like). They were incapable, though. Does that count? They voluntarily, intentionally and consciously relinquished flying (and landing) duti...

Apparently this is the first one that was NOT a test. It seems it actually saved lives.

On the other hand...

Agreed. A light bulb between 2 pot lights? Who designed this shit?

There's no like/thanks button anymore but a "reaction" button instead (the smiley face with a "+" below signatures). When pressed it shows a fine selection of most excellent and appropriate reactions, such as thumbs up, thumbs down, the kissing and "in love" emojis Thr...

Where did the like button go, by the way? I tried to give a like to Evan but I couldn't find it.
Last time I did something like that it was in the bars era.

Gabriel, hopefully you don’t go giving stars to Bobby. There’s a poetic justice to him not_having them.

Ok, but somebody deserves them less than BB. That's the "poetic in_justice" part I suppose.

I went and did “thumbs up” on several LHB posts… I’ll have to check others in coming days.

It worked, now he can brag about having 4 stars.
We should do the same for BB, just to upset Luftie.

Much better than the Texan alternative carcinogenic... Texas BBQ.
