Re: "Negative, Southwest, the pattern is full"

Everyone and their uncle was going around- wind shear, visibility.
Not quite. Only the smurfs went around. In fairness, Republic didn't even try.
Ah yes, the Evan hyperbole rule…There were a few go arounds taking place, so the weather might have been a little bit challenging…

Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

***But this: in my opinion, the only thing that makes sense here is that the stick was let go, either accidentally or, possibly, the pilot thought they were already in flight mode, so the airplane would hold the pitch attitude it was at when the stick was let go.*** I have been in full BS-spewing-a...

Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

I do have two beers that it’s at least 7 degrees of reduction. My 2 beers say no more than 5. Game? (we have a 2-degrees tie zone) NO DEAL. You said half of 7…if you are going to pick on me for ass-hat guesses, you don’t get to move the goal posts. I don’t want to beat this to death…they nosed over...

More red font. Ok, we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't see: - A 14 degrees nose up to begin with (you taught me that it would have struck the tail Go to hell…I think most of us see a “full rotation” where a tail strike was something to think about.

Yes…

And I have to add “bad”.

Yeah, sure, bump the nose down…just not from 14 to 7 degrees in one continuous swoop, unless there’s some really weird winds…

Re: The Eidelwiess affair…

Adding comments in red. BACK TO THIS INCIDENT: That was a hell of a nose over I don't agree. The nosewheel remained higher than main wheels all the time. What could have hapenned? That they touch down before they climb again? Like in the Air Moroco case? Have you seen that video? (that I posted the...

New video.

Aerodynamics is a strange thing. There’s a video of the Denver WN plane landing. The displaced cowling seems to “relax” but then the other side lets loose, and both tear off as the plane slows. Ban engine cowlings and go back to radial, exploding, piston engines! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/KcP...

Evanie’s not_favorite airline and aeroplanie.

”A mechanical issue” caused a WN to return to Denver on or about April 7, 2024:

Mildly reminiscent of that guy tying the 172 door open.

Blabbering:

Bad ass wind shear/turbulence gets them off course and low…

The next question is if it was so bad they couldn’t climb out, or if they vapor locked and fumbled the go-around.

Re: Railroad Thread

Or how about... real afterburners?
Why fake? Didn’t your spin-out link also include a fire-belching exhaust stack?
Real afterburners in dinosaur/plant-juice-less electric motors usually result in reduced lifespan.
Indeed.. I misread that this was for utopialectriclocos.

This is more interesting than the headlines made it. Someone suggested they were 65 feet above the tower, but I think that’s speculation.

3) Diesel engines make more noise, this is the USA, and we think louder is always better. :mrgreen: We could install fake afterburners on electric locomotivies and make them cross a wall of fire and explosions every couple kilocorgis to make them more American .
