Southwest Airlines flight attendants are considering a federal discrimination claim against a pilot whose cockpit rant about "gays and grannies and grandes" on his flight crew was accidentally broadcast to the control tower and other planes in the airspace over Texas. -snip- They´re funny...

Re: Japanese Reactor blown up?
I agree with you on the relative scale, Ed, but it wouldn't exactly be a bonus. The footage I've seen of the tsunami coming inland is truly shocking. No, not a bonus at all...but considering the worst case scenario of Chornobyl: no containment, operators did everything wrong, firefighters ill prepa...

A small aircraft used for "Homeland Security Training" (whatever that is, sounds like freeby hours for some) with a flight instructor on board made a successful emergency landing on an interstate in the US, not much known about the time/traffic etc. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110201/ap_o...

Re: Airline kicks unruly Russian team off flight
Those hockey guys *are* dangerous, maybe a major Russian strike on unsuspecting defense forces has been prevented by not letting them board...

Re: AN-22 down in central Russia
As as result all planes powered by the Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprop with contra-rotating propellers have been grounded, thats the AN-22s and TU-95s. Thank you, rattler. Two questions: 1. Are you aware of any NK-12 installations NOT using the counter-rotating setup? 2. Does the grounding apply also to ...
