...the difference between sucking and blowing....

You could always ask a hostie whether she knows the difference.....
...if you fancy your chances.....
...of a slap in the face.

Surprisingly I didn't died, so I don't need to report on how crap it was...... I had what they call a "premium" seat, but then so did the two fat guys on either side of me. :roll: .....and they were both convinced that the armrests were included in the price they'd paid. Still, all the tra...

For the first time, I'll be on a NOK Air flight (DD7113, HDY to DMK) in a few hours time.
They do have a rather striking livery.....
As usual, If I do died, I will endeavour to post a full report.

.....hopefully you aren't 90 with heart issues....

I'm 61. (though I used to be a lot younger)

Indeed
The relatively low risk of asphyxiating a few, Vs. The undetermined risk of cremating the full complement.

So I see in Wiki, that a wing caught on fire before it went down...reasonably accurate? Well, if a witness recalls seeing it, it must be true. :roll: I have no Idea what the multiple contributing factors to this accident were. However, it seems to me that the degree of improvisation involved in squ...

Ilooked in this forum and in the military one and couldn't find a thread about the IL 76 that crashed in Algeria on April 11th. 257 casualties. What am I missing? Ok Peminu, I'll give it a shot. 247 pax and 10 crew in a plane designed to carry 125-140 troops and 5 crew - I think we could be on to s...

....... if the passenger in question had paid extra for a window seat.

They should give discounts to sit in that whole row (or two).
I already have "aisle" as a preference with the travel agents, now I need row exclusions too.

Curious if she was wearing her seatbelt per good procedure? Sorry 3WE, I missed this before posting the same thing :roll: What model of CRJ-2747...the -300, the -700 or the max with the sinks that have hydraulic flow reversals? It seems it was not a CRJ but a B737-700 and the engine was a CFM-56

I wonder whether the passenger was wearing their "seatbelt while seated at all times".

Well, for sure you are one of them, but also Per, Monchavo, 3WE, Gabriel and a lot of other Trolls.
I have a lot of updating to do, but hope to catch up soon.

And glad to see old members are too.

Thinking about anyone in particular?

No donkeys involved.

How can you be sure that tugger #4 is not a donkey disguised as a cow?

All airplanes should have two different engines available from different manufacturers with minimal swap out effort required! Why not have two different engines from different manufacturers actually installed on all 787s? That way you would be certain that one of your engines is the most reliable e...

........ Ms what's her name is apparently on YouTube.

She's certainly not on this rig, though after a few weeks one of the cooks might just start to appeal as a potential paper bag job....

The Thais have chosen tomorrow, Friday 13th, to send me offshore again.

I imagine these things aren't pressurized, or maybe just the flightdeck.

Should all helicopteries have ejectable rotors and ballistic parachutes ? Should I make crude drawings of this and present them there as a revolutionary idea to make Not_fixed-wing-aviation safer ?

I believe I've heard that we're mildly famous for it.
