Re: Railroad Thread

Good show. A lot of whiners (there are plenty of those in rail just as in aviation) have complained that this locomotive is the world's largest tea pot as it is only pushed around by a diesel locomotive located behind the water cars. My understanding is the diesel is there to assist with occasional ...

Today's flight is being operated by a Tecnam P-2012 Traveller. I'm sure the roar of the piston engines was too much for our traveler.

The 767 could have landed behind the 737 , its crew applying all available PSIs per Square Inch to the brakes . Nothing's wrong with US airport operations , I hope the FedEx crew is physically punished for the dangerous, unnecessary go-around . What if the runway was a moving conveyor belt?
