It had a mid-mounted engine (as in, behind the cockpit), which in theory would allow a shorter nose and improve visibility. But looking at the plane, it doesn't seem to have made much difference.

That's not why Bell went with that configuration.

Both of the speakists talk about visibility, but there's another term for a fighter with poor cockpit visibility: "target". Maybe the P-61 is worse than average because it's supposed to be a bomber-killer... First of all, it was a P-63, but I'll let that slide for the moment. Second of al...

There's also mild amusement from there at the loss of the aeroplanie being worse than the loss of peoplies...(yeah, we might sometimes say that here, too). I don't disconcur with that sentiment, the number of fat-walleted geezers who want to relive their parents' war far exceeds the number of airwo...

I figured he wouldn't be too long...

Confederate Air Force strikes again! Tell me it ain't so!

We have been informed that the 737 is Not_a modern airliner, but a relic that should have been retired by now.

That is all.

Also, everything that does not have "cables" is "solid-state".

Hard to tell from the video, but it looks like the spoilers never popped up.

If your computer needs liquid cooling complete with a radiator, you got bigger problems than just flight sim.

Is the “Washington Monument” a “classic localizer” that gets insanely accurate as you get closer than on an ILS landing, or is it computer “enhanced” where deviations are a “constant distance per dot”/whatevermoreorless? What? Does it Basically behave like an OBS needle: less sensitive as you begin...

No.

A hotel room is apparently an "affiliate office". …stripes… You need your own YouTube channel. You can record preliminary crash analysis movies in hotel rooms just like Kelsey and Juan. It would be hilarious if you were your former, slightly-harsher self, and told us outsiders to stick it...

I was also expecting to see a somewhat greater quantity of stripes, given how much he loves the sound of his own voice.

I have now been both on a 350-900 and 350-1000. I did not did dieded.

The second I saw that toolbox with his stripes still on, I quit listening. Especially when he made sure to mention that he just came in from London.

Apparently, Evan "regularly" takes that flight.

That is one OLD truck!

I should think -7'000MSL would cause a delta P of much more than 8.72.

There are several CONVIASA CRJ-700s sitting engineless at FLL for nearly a decade now.

Another hometown “airline” did died.

Why didn’t you tell me about this flyboy? (Yes, I wasn’t paying attention).

I didn't know they were still around.

Yes.

Place flyboy in charge of the FAA.

Anuket forbid!

Not claiming that my "analysis" is correct.

That's a good thing because it's not. The operators who ordered -8 passenger versions did so for a reason.
