I must say, those trees were beginning to look a lot like those brushes in the drive through car washes so I pulled even harder yet!

*le sigh* oh float flying

I don't think the hostility on this thread is directed at people that want to get more education. I think it's more a reaction to the dilution (or maybe only the apparent dilution) of academic rigor that this PhD program represents. I just don't see the study of aviation in and of itself as being a...

the more i thought about panning this "aviation phd" idea the more i want to do it because of what a juicy, low hanging fruit it must be. the coursework is probably a low impact cakewalk of interdisciplinary grab-baggery: a book report on "CARs in plain english", a case study on southwest, watching ...

i've always been able to resist chiming in on this tired, old dialogue in the past but i have to get this off my chest. those of you who are all all f*cked up over someone else "buying a job" are probably the same people who are supporting the north american automakers' bailout since the world obvio...

kunstler's polemical guttersniping is fun to listen to for about five minutes but he's a bit too much of a hack to take seriously. his critique of the second half of the 20th century is the same sophomoric, watered down malthusian/dialectical diatribe that fills spacing and adbusters but offers litt...

iflyforpie: i stand corrected Four1oh: indeed Things go well up to about FL350, but now she will only climb at 300 fpm at 0.70, so we have to pitch up a bit to keep her going. Now we are climbing at 0.65 through FL360 and the rate of climb is getting pathetic again. The indicated speed is getting do...

our bird is kind of a dog near service ceiling when heavy (esp with the soul-crushing eng A/I on) and is happy to suck-hole all day after level off if you somehow got on the slow side of the profile drg the climb. climbing an extra 100'/200' to get on the step is a drop in the bucket and doesn't net...

mods- move to the vid forum if you like but i think everyone should see this. i caught this movie in IMAX last time i was in cleveland and it was effing epic! some of the best images i've seen on screen. the sound alone gives me a semi. 5 parts, turn your speakers up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
