Re: What is this nausea???
Could it be some ventilation problem? I find a lot of planes I fly feel "stuffy," and having the vents open helps. What kind of aircraft are you flying? Is it always the same one? I fly 172s, and tend to fly with the upper vents open regardless of temperature just to get fresh air, because I get a s...

Re: How to crash an airplane
^ I definitely think you took this more personally than you should have. What he (and the report) are saying, is that if you decelerate over a longer distance, then the lower the G forces. And the lower the G forces, the less damage your body has, and your chances of survival increase. It's scientif...

Re: Would you buy a flying car?
AirFrame, that's a good point. With that prop and all the control surfaces out in the open like that, and the attention it would draw, it'd be bound to get dinged. Do you think it'd be best insured as a plane for the more stringent maintenance? an apathetic population You think so? I mean I don't th...

Thanks, I will contact him and see what happens! From what I can see so far, there's Border City Aviation, but they seem to be flying C172s.

Re: Dash-8 question
As far as I know, it's to save money on fuel. One turbine is enough to move the plane on the ground, and uses less fuel than two turbines would.

Re: Pilots should take the initiative in achieving their car
You should write an article called "Journalists should take the initiative in achieving their career goals," wherein you comment how since media is relying more on live feeds and updates through FB/Twitter/whatnot, and with newspapers becoming obsolete and going bankrupt, journalists should take ini...
