Re: Almost great night at Flyover International
Thanks for clarifying, I was wondering if you determined it was "night" because the airplane had long shadows...it was dark
I would love to hear again 727s (and BAC 1-11s... and 737-200s and DC-9s/MD-8xs...) taking-off...

Re: YouTube Discussion Fodder
This one is GOOD and addresses multiple issues ! I had this video popping up as "Recommended" in ut00b for ages and until now refused to watch it. -Can a dummy land an airliner? As long as they don't encounter adverse climatic conditions (especially icing), stall warnings, engine or syste...

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...

Re: SIA 777 on fire...
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: Brexit
I've always said that old people should be processed into Soylent Green . I know this movie. I didn't watch it, but know how it ends. That is annoying. The same goes for The CItizen Kane :cry: . Maybe I should try to erase my memories with alcohol (preferably away from woods and airports) .

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 .How do you like this one?

I guess I should check in over there... You really should. You'll learn that this is just like TWA800. No missile this time, the fire was caused by the passengers's clapping : While passengers broke into clapping and cheering and the aircraft turned off the runway, a spark was seen at the right han...
