Re: AB 737-800 Overshoots Runway after Take-off Abort
Isn't "overshoot" a landing term that is based on a touchdown point , and "overrun" the more correct term for running off the end? I know it doesn't matter to our technically unsavvy media, but hey, this is AD.info! We have standards! You mean like an ejector seat is actually an...

Re: British Electric Lightening Crash
Robert, I think in your zeal to defend either the jolly British Lightning or this particular operation or both, you're overlooking ITS' greater point, which I think is that both Thunder City and other similar outfits use these aircraft in a manner they were never designed for. These are weapons sys...

Re: British Electric Lightening Crash
I agree with you el, they do have a very good reputation I guess if you overlook the ground based flameout, ejection seat maintenance, inflight fire, death of a pilot due to the aforementioned while selling rides in unmaintained aircraft to weird old dudes . That is the concensus of the vast majori...

Re: British Electric Lightening Crash
Interesting Charles. The reason for the flame out isn't very clear it doesn't have to be the fuel control units. The failure to start the engines could have been a number unrelated reasons. 1. Failure of the avpin starters due to high ambient temperature 2. Avpin tank empty, there is only enough for...

Re: Eurostar suspends services for third day
I'm not sure the presence of snow for a few days is the definitive proof or otherwise of climate change by the actions of man. However I do remember being told by one of my school teachers in the 70's that the next ice age was underway because a patch of snow on Snowdonia didn't melt one summer. Th...

James Bond was never known as The Saint.Volvo P-1800, also known as James Bond's car from the time when James Bond was known as Simon Templar, the Saint.
Roger Moore on the other hand..........
