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 about in this regard.

Putin may have more to worry about on the home front, but we'll see...

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...

How did you collect the hours before getting in the regionals? Just flying around on your own money while you did the different certificates and ratings? It was indeed before the 1,500 rule. I did a bunch of different things, moved airplanes, did a little "corporate" flying, whatever I co...

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 ye...

For Christmas, 3BS got a crew cab, 8-ft box F350.
But for Greta and blue balls, I went with the small gas engine.

Congrats on the 6.7! My Cummins recently turned 10,000 miles, already had two oil changes.

Dan already solved the case, determined the probable cause, and issued recommendations.
(And he might be right)

757/767 has tons of power. In related news, water is wet.

Many years ago, Bobby, as a FORUM newbie, took a cheap shot at VNav. I joined in, commenting that Nav was a good dude, and to the best of my knowledge well-credentialed. A few days later I get a PM entitled “3WE the peace maker”. VNav basically said that he tired of the old know-it-alls, and procee...

Something that I have noticed in many more "seasoned" pilots is that they start to lose the distinction between taking their job seriously and taking themselves seriously. It seems Bobby has fallen into that trap. Then again, it might have happened long before he was truly "seasoned.&...

First off, that thing is called CL-415, not CL-145, second off, it's not a jet.

How often do you do a CAT-III approach when the weather is truly below typical CAT-II minimums?

1 (one) time in 19 years. Rwy 18R at DFW.

I remember I first saw an AN-22 in the air climbing out of TBS. That sound is hard to describe.

(which makes me wonder if all Southwest 737's have HUDs).

They don't.

This may be an issue with FlightRadar24. Venus is not Atlas' callsign.

Posting for two reasons: 1. Interestingly, he infers that we got the initial report in a very short time. 2. He makes the first specific mention of the left engine moving somewhat across, and in front of the center engine, likely spewing some parts into the center engine. https://youtu.be/bFLyBrNtc...

Bird strike?

I wonder what the price difference was between the appropriate certified part and the 3D-printed one.

Don't know how accurate this is but the following two supposedly are: According to ATDB.aero, as of June 2025, there are only three Douglas DC-8s left in operation. Two of these aircraft are currently flown by Trans Air Cargo Service. This company is a freight forwarding service that is located in ...

Who has the other two?

I was interested in hear what you could say about these questions in relation to the airplane's systems rather than cockpit procedures. Systems are not in my wheelhouse. Even if they were, he's not worth it. All he will do is disagree with you, but don't you dare "contradict" him.
