At cruising altitude, with no weather issues.

On detection of a situation that endangers the crew safety or that of the public, the engineer will supply an emergency brake application. Many trains in North America now have "helper" power which are locomotives placed in the middle or at the rear of the train for additona tractive effor...

It must be costly to repack/replace the slides and re-mount over-wing exit doors no?

I missed you Mr. Snappy.

Hi all y'all; after a hiatous, I decided it was time to rejoin the discussion. Hope I am still welcome!

Would someone please explain the origin of this new, increasingly-popular phrase?

Someone who can't speaka da Engelisch....

Come guys get it right.
The native indians own Canada.......

that was cool. Looks like a lot of work.

Looks like the clutch was engaged (for some reason) and at that point the brake would not hold it. Once it started.....it's all over....

Feel the rhythm...

I felt it.

Air brakes are for train control, not to hold railways vehicles in place (the air bleeds off). Mechanical (hand) brakes applied to railway vehicles will hold that railway vehicle in place. Rules dictate how many handbrakes must be applied to certain amounts of railway vehicles while also considering...

I thought Katrina took care of those scumbags.

An executive summary would be nice.

Perspex canopy?

The sad thing is that there are many people out there who act like idiots to the airline staff. In Vancouver one day, checking in for my flight to Toronto, an announcement was made that the flight was delayed for 2 hours because of weather in the East. Well....many people checking in ahead of me wer...

LOL.

Did you know that you get more Govt relieve money as a political refugee than a Canadian senior citizen collecting Canada Pension?

We suck.

Anywhere in Europe it always has been like that: 4. Boarding gate: present boarding card and ID to make sure that you have a seat on this flight AND you actually are the person the boarding card is issued to. Otherwise it would be way too easy to travel with a super discounted junior fare even if y...

I fly in and out of (as a pax) ORD using United or AC for many years. For the first time, for me, prior to getting my boarding pass checked (counted) at the gate when boarding, everyone had to line up to the counter first for a passport check. I did not think much of it as I thought there was an exc...

Should have taken a couple of pics because they looked awesome parked beside our A330s.

Whose C-17s were they?

Could be a few things, either equipment coming (more "lend-lease" CH-47Ds) or going (attrition replacement and forces boost to the sandbox).

US Air Force i believe.

CFB Trenton (Ontario)

2 C5's, 2 C17's, 2 AN-124's.

Strange lineup at this base.
What's up?
