Of course you can't hack a DC9, it's so old you have to kick-start the engines.

They still had too little fuel and required a scra...

Re: Germanwings A320 down in French Alps
Revelations in the news today over the pilot's mental state and relational problems may have lead him to this act. It's going to get very messy. As we all know, you cannot exclude risk altogether from any situation but this will hurt. You must ask yourself what are the consequences for air travel as...

Re: Hello again
Hi Flyboy,
I believe they put me under due to the severity of the fit. I know at the beginning I was drifting in and out of it. Then it was eight hours later.
