Re: MOST OF THIS FORUM OWES THE WORLD AN APOLOGY!!!!!

I'm thinking in this scenario, whether the *airplane* has a hush kit is unimportant. ;)

Re: Ballistic chute shenanigans

Am I missing something? The published range of the SR-22 is about 1,000 SM, the shortest distance from California to Hawaii is about 2,000 SM. Based on those numbers, it was approximately 100% likely from the outset that the plane was going to turn into a boat.

Re: How to join AD.info

We clearly need a more involved procedure to become a member and make posts...Monchavo will have to approve folks or forward the applications to us for approval.

Re: A NEW TYPE OF NEAR-TOTAL DISASTER!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I wish fear didn't sell as well as it does. Never thought I'd agree with Michael Moore on much, but I agreed with him wholeheartedly when he said "we're a society strung out on fear" (or something like that). It's like we need something to be terrified of, 24/7. A masked Arab wi...

Re: The TBM-700 has impressive range.

No kidding... you'd think he'd be aiming for 10K or something in that area... and fast.

Do planes like that have emergency oxygen for the pilots (or anyone else)?

Re: Stolen Libyan Airliners; Terrorism Vehicle?

Actually, ISIS would not need any planes to run an airline... you buy a ticket, go to the airport, go to the gate, and they shoot you... and of course keep your money (all tickets are nonrefundable). Saves a ton of $$$ on aircraft purchase and maintenance, crew pay, etc. It's what *all* the airlines...
