Re: Snowbird crash in CYKA
So is it just not feasible to put a modern gimballed ejection seat into the Tutor? You would think with the single engine threat and the low altitude flying the Snowbirds do it would be a priority to protect the crews. There was at least at least some interest in replacing the ejection seats, thoug...

Re: Kluane Air Tours
Thanks everyone for the replies. Sounds like Sifton is a good place to check out. Looking at their website, the longer tours look amazing!

Kluane Air Tours
Looking to do an air tour over Kluane at the end of the month. Any tips on which tours are worth taking? Or who to fly with? The fiancée and I will be in Haines Junction around the middle of next week. Is there a better time of day to do a flight?
Thanks in advance for any tips or advice!

Re: Video card
What are the rest of your system specs? It doesn't sound like it is a very recent system and you may not get very good performance from FSX. FS9 may be a better choice. Sites like FlightSim.com and AvSim have plenty of good info in their forums.

Re: CIAS AirShow
It was certainly a little disappointing and I don't think I'll be back to see it again. At least not any time soon. Of course it didn't help that the last airshow before this one I attended was at Nellis AFB last year. Plenty of aircraft from WW1 through to the F-22, a CF-18 and a couple great civil...

Re: More fireworks in the gulf?
The US has had 4 carriers in the Middle East many times. It happens quite often when they relieve the carrier groups that are due to return to port. And the carrier groups heading out to the region will often participate in war games and training to get the crews back up to speed.

Re: 9/11 conspiracy or not?
There have been many engineers suggest that a) the fire wasn't hot enough b) the towers were very unlikely to go straight down and c) no tower did it before.

Can anyone give an example of a skyscraper that collapsed (due to fire) before or since 911. Here we have three in one day and they all go straight down (as opposed to tipping over). It's not the netnuts, it's the math that bothers me. This is where the phrase "There's a first time for everything" ...

Here's a list of Ubisoft's games and some more info about the stupid decisions they have made.

While still not perfect, Valve's Steam and Stardock's Impulse are much better ways to buy games.
