The Boeing Leadership was originally McDonnell's, and became a merger prize when M-D bought Boeing with Boeing's money in the late 90's and kept the Boeing name as a disguise .

Fixed?

Good point! According to the intarwebz, COF is around 0.5 for a dry rail, 0.3 for wet, and a bit less if frost is present. I know leaves can also have an effect but couldn't find a number for that condition, probably because it's so variable. Dumb question but, do trains have brakes on all the whee...

The following video shows a derailment of one train while another is passing to give you an idea of how these types of circumstances unfold. A grain train was traveling west on double track when one of its car's axles failed causing it to derail onto the adjacent track moments before an eastward oi...

That plot is a lot more readable! Too bad it's missing the normal acceleration trace though, that one matters. It’s not missing. It’s right there in the blue section. I re-traced the plots and re-shuffled (including bringing up the wind plots that were in the next page) to have a longitudinal secti...

Was playing a bit with Chat GPT yesterday. I asked for the sequence of notes for The Star-Spangled Banner. Said sure, here it is, and gave me a sequence of notes for not_The Star-Spangled Banner. I pointed it out and it said sorry, my bad, here you have the correct one. Which was another not_correct...

I do not believe the captain, based on a somatogravic illusion, ordered the first officer to nose over, and that the first officer blindly complied (or complied, because he also felt the somatogravic illusion). I know it’s total, ass-hat, outsider speculation, but I’m thinking that a nose down inpu...

Is there a question there somewhere?

No.

Yes

6. This crash and 809 both make mention of “walls of water”. I wonder if that has ever been researched as a possible signature that might be teased out of radar?

Three people have said “they don’t think it’s a stall/spin”. ZERO PEOPLE have said, IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT A STALL/spin. . Then you say YOU THINK a stall spin is LESS likely. So, I’m just not getting the ongoing lectures and counter arguments and corrections. As to the question of what any of us know...

Verbie, feel free to consult us so this time you get it right.

No.

No consult with us or no get it right this time?

I think it is perfectly possible that it is stall related. Not necessarily "most likely". But what we see in the video and report doesn't make me think that it could not be stall related. And I’m really obsessed with one of the top killers in GA which is actually preventable and where a g...

My interpretation is that Ocelot watched the film and concluded that “it didn’t seem entirely consistent with stalling one wing.” (A speculative declaration based on video evidence). And I wholly agree with your interpretation of what Ocelot said, and with what Ocelot said if he said what we interp...

Nuances: You choose to gloss over my inclusion of the word basically. It’s a gray concept that you and Evan struggle with, but kind of key nuance to this concept. Ocelot did say wing drop. Acknowledged, she (as long as we’re claiming nuances), did not_say spin. But again Evan, you stall a plane, an...

That is a stall. (Spare me the nuances). Ok, that is ONE description of a stall. I'll go even further and say that that's the most common description of a stall. In that sense, I agree that one wing can "stall" before the other. But I will also say that (sorry if this a nuance), even with...

I want to be clear: You are “taking this back”? Momentarily. Until I understand the "nuances" in Ocelot's thoughts. A stall is a rather sharp, significant loss of lift, caused by the sudden separation of smooth airflow across the top of the wing around the magical 16-degree +/- angle of a...

There is no secret I am trying to hide here. And actually I wrote and deleted a response (by the magic of deleting your comment BEFORE submitting). This was the exchange Ocelot: Doesn't seem entirely consistent with stalling one wing. Gabe: "stalling one wing" almost never happens. Ocelot:...
