Re: The hazards of flying under wires
I've been having that dream since before I really thought about actual aviation. As a kid, I'd be flying Superman style. As an adult, any manner of aircraft or mysterious forms of levitation might be involved. Occasionally the wires are replaced by towers, weather or other disconcerting obstacles th...

Icon's website is like they are selling cars. First thing they mention is the plane has a "control stick just like a fighter jet" :roll: Is there something wrong with a control stick? I believe the point of his post wasn’t to question the choice of a stick over a yoke setup but rather to point out ...

Re: RCMP arrest drunken men on flight to Vegas stag after plane forced down in Winnipeg
Does that sound right, having to dump fuel to land when already 3/4 of the way enroute to the intended destination?which led the captain to divert the flight to Winnipeg — dumping 10,000 gallons (about 37, 854 litres) of fuel to land safely.

Re: Max Engine question
Nobody in the flying public will ever get on anything remotely related to a 737 Max again. That's a much more delicate issue than fixing the physical issues. By the time the Max flies again everyone will have moved on the the next Facebook crisis. People care about price and that’s it. As has been ...

Re: Twin otter on the ice
Makeshift way of making sure the wing didn't try to fly while being slung? Looks like two pieces of 4x4 laying along the spar of each wing as well.

Re: Google Earth image, JAL over BC field
This thing's RH wing flickered over the top of my screen as I was quickly scrolling along the A27 trying to place some things I saw while touring there years ago. At full zoom, the image is pretty cool.

They hit a negative 4 G dive initialy on the FOs push. All you hear is stuff hitting the ceiling and at one point a loud thud. Would 4G negative be possible to achieve, even instantaneously? A loaded 767 is a lot of mass to make change its velocity that quickly by diving, isn't it? There is a prett...

Re: Plane crash caught on video from inside
The aircraft had been donated by the owner, Rovos Air, to the Dutch aviation theme park Aviodrome. It carried the colour scheme of the former Dutch airline Martin's Air Charter (later renamed Martinair) and was to be ferried to the Netherlands with an expected arrival at Lelystad Airport on July 23...

Re: C-47 Takeoff Groundloop and Crash
Is it possible that with the different variations of the DC3 out there that people have different perceptions of its flight characteristics because they are not all alike?
