Indeed.

I am in many minds about this event. Would I stand directly under the jet blast? No. Is it dangerous? Manifestly, yes. Why haven't more died?

If any of you guys read Car Magazine you would have seen a picture, a small one, of the dear Kia Rio proudly waving the Norwegian flag while waiting to cross the flooded highway. June issue, page 50. Magnifying glass advisable. Per How the hell did you know you'd be in the magazine? I love that you...

monchavo flew with mrs monchavo last week LHR-YYZ-LHR. 787 800 on the outbound, 777-300 on the return leg. Return leg was very badly delayed. Ridiculous rebranding underway at AC, going back to pre-baby blue colours. Inexplicable. Service was adequate.

Per, this stuff is magical. Love it. Well done and thank you for staying alive. Love the motorway story. Madness!

Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that 9V-SWB returned to service on 12 November, 2016.

Since our journey could be coming to an end I took the liberty of bumping this one last time. Thanks for the memories!

I think there's a good chance that the old bird will carry on for a bit longer.

holy crap, 55lbs?

that's a lot of lbs.

you're welcome

The board has moved to a very cheap hosting provider - where I plan to mothball it. Essentially it will grow old gracefully, it may get admin attention from time to time, it may not. If you have things you need to save or keep (contact details from PMs, etc) then please do gather them up and make a ...

That thing is a real beast!

All, I want to hand over administration and control of ad.info to another safe pair of hands over the next few months, as unfortunately I no longer have the time to maintain or administer the service. If anyone would like to take up the reins please contact me. You will need to be able to host it. I...

I wonder if he was targeting individuals/family group that was known to him or randoms. If randoms, its an odd place to have an episode.

Very few flights for me, all boring, 6x A330, 2x 738 in real life, then a sh.., sorry, truck load of flights with various aircraft on our tower sim, several with less than desired outcome, had it been real life ;-) 2017 should bring me back to Denmark and operational life at a tower, which shall re...

PLease do link to the original story.

My flight year was incredibly dull. The lowest number of hours since 1996.

1x 380 LHR-SFO
1x 744 SFO-LHR
1x LHR-LIS-LHR in a 320
1x STN-GLA-STN in a 319

Per, is that the nasty invasive type of starfish or the friendly local kind? Don't know, it was a by catch. I'm no expert on starfish, but this one had an unusual pattern. Per My wife walks by and she's like "ooh, what's that?" "It's Per" I reply "The Ancient Mariner" "He's from Norway" She squints...

no

Not a valid response.

Thank you SIckbag! I read the media report about squid "displacing" cod on the nation's menus and I guffawed - someone is trying to troll the right wing press. (I love squid, prepared one just last week, it had eaten a tiny anchovy or whitebait before being killed, the fish was still in the stomach ...

We must reflect on the previous three hundred and sixty five days.

- 4bn is excessive - even though the 170m pre-plan design contract is let, I forsee another 300m on the design of the thing. As FB says, ground up no carry over, fresh beats. - 200-400m will go on the spare parts, storage of such and the long tail of support - 400-600m will be in pre-planned overrun...

That's not a storm. That's a mild breeze.

I would love to try to calculate the weight of the water and the force with which it hits the boat. A "metric fucktonne" sounds about right.
