Re: Almost great night at Flyover International

it was dark
Thanks for clarifying, I was wondering if you determined it was "night" because the airplane had long shadows... :|

I would love to hear again 727s (and BAC 1-11s... and 737-200s and DC-9s/MD-8xs...) taking-off... :cry:

Re: Aviate... communicate... what was that other thing?

Breaking news: Descending is inherently risky! CONCUR . As far as I know, all crashes -aside from flying level into a mountain, failing to lift-off or mid-air collisions/explosions/disintegrations- were at the end of a descent -commanded or not- . How many more tragedies need to happen before desce...

I suppose the 'illuminati' at the other place would find the fire behind the engine over exposed the window frame visible on the right and yes, ideally it would be "cropped" to show more ahead and below of the engine and closer to the 1/3/-2/3 composition rule, but hell, it's just a cell ...

Re: Sully, the movie

A ~4-minute incident gets blown up into a ~90-minute Hollywood movie. Well, they have to show us the family life of the protagonists, how they started another "normal day", etc. Then, the 4 minutes will last at least 45. Of course, I say all this from my little experience with Hollywood m...

I don't really like yellow, but again I find its horridly lurid livery to be kind of attractive and way better than boring eurowhite. Maybe I caught the Braniff Syndrome from Not_Dad :| .
