Re: In memoriam Don Moore - condolence book

High Flight Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth. And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings, Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring the...

Re: FAO tds

So sorry to hear you've given up salads, then. They are quite good for you. No, no - I've given up on cricket since discovering baseball. It's like cricket on steroids!!

Re: Continental B737 off runway in Denver

[ Thx 3WE! I was just trying to add what little I can, but they do also say that: "Investigators have not yet interviewed the plane's captain, who was flying the plane, because Sumwalt said he is physically unable. He didn't elaborate. They have talked to the first officer, who said the plane ...

Re: Continental B737 off runway in Denver

"Breaking news" 40 sec of takeoff roll. A vibration begins. 4 seconds later, an abort is called. I find this hard to believe, unless the 40 seconds includes the deceleration as well. Not necessarily, the runways in Denver certainly allow for a reduced power takeoff roll. Besides, the 40 s...
