Maybe now the shimmy dampeners will Not_be the primary cause of 737 TOTAL LANDING GEAR DISASTERS!!!!!

With this!

*: "now" = 1992

(Of course I still have some ball mice!)

…and TeeVee asked a most-awesome lawyer question: “Has Evan ever screwed the pooch on anything?” (Or as I like to say, has he ever fallen off his bicycle…something that gives most of us a little perspective on being human). I'm 101% perfect and still have fallen from my bicycle due to external fact...

Wrong.

Sad

...asked Evanie about his background . We didn't get an answer (as usual) . Berntie thinks he may be a Q400 pilot . I do Not_ (I think Evanie's avatar shows the view from a passenger , Not_cockpit, window ... but, above all, I would find hard to believe the Dash 8 Not_being in his no-fly list ...) .

With so much debate about what cowmonkeypilots should or shouldn't do in case of a bounce I now understand McDonald's Douglas' solution for the DC-10/MD-11.

It must have sucked for the stupid, fatigued cowmonkey pilots to be forced to do a perfect landing as they were missing a slide....

Gabie , there : In general no. It is a myth (at least in airliners) that bounces are the result of hard touchdowns or that hard touchdowns result in a bounce, as many super rough landings with no or minimum bounce can attest. Oleo-pneumatic shock absorbers in transport category planes are close to ...

Does that landing gear have anti-skid?

I don't know, looks like something that could have fatal flaws...

Is he Donaldo Trumpo con Bigote?

Helmet?!?!?

INDEED. Here's an accurate depiction of me:

Unfortunately, we have YouTubers making YouTubes about YouTubers.

If only I had GoPros on my bike and helmet...

…and if a train came along…it couldn’t stop… We could have had that ultra-rare combination of a TOTAL AIR DISASTER and a TOTAL TRAIN DISASTER* at the same time! We could compare and discuss trainie emergency braking (or lack thereof) with aeroplanie anti-skid-off braking characteristics and guess t...

Threeweeie , there , on Evanie's beliefs ; ...pilots and fundamental airmanship are bad I thought we all AGREEd on that :? ATLCrewboyie, there, on El Idioma Inglés Not_being Berntie's first: Sorry to hear that. Go ahead, ask me what number language English is for me. Please. Let's see what Berntie ...

Excuse my excitement, given the inherent dangers of going around, underslung engines, somatogravic illusions, fatal software flaws and pilot stupidity I thought I was going to witness an amazing TOTAL AIR DISASTER!!!!

That's the brake cooling FlyBoyie has been asking for

By the way, an important Argie media outlet said that aeroplanies were COVERED by water...

(For Gabie: this time it was Clarín, Not_Infobae)

It's actually good looking and, incredibly, appears to be made of metal . Did it It fail because it loved to throw new, previously unknown problems at pilots?

Berntie is also aware that there is a photography, Not_aviation, forum

[not_italics]We do both…

…better

INDEED.

I'd say that is Not_Argentina.

Evanie , there : True, but only Airbus planes can be the focus of ominous conspiracies in scarebus 'documentaries'. Thanks to the 737MAX that will surely be rectified soon . I hope the inevitable documentary about it is called " The Flying Pinto ". (Yes, I know there was an actually-flyin...

Fake, jet engines are started by throwing lit matches at the intake. What is shown in the film is the procedure for lighting the afterburners, which the F9 Cougar didn't have .
