    Army Helicopters - 300’AGL, night, residential??

    Green Hills- Nashville (2) - sounded like Kiowas… running offset tandem. Not more than 300’ AGL- no strobe- just (red & green?) navigational lights. Running north to south over an exclusively dense residential area… where terrain rises as they go south. No signature or track of...

    John C. Tune - Tornado

    I hope this finds everyone ok. JWN reportedly got hit by a tornado. I do not know the extent of the damage, but I do know that this is as quiet an airspace as we've had since I lived here. We are on approach/departure from the south. Everyone ok?

    Commercial Flights crossing paths - Waaaaay to close for comfort

    so... I was on a flight today - and at one point during the flight, I opened my shade to look out. It had been a gorgeous sunset at FL39, and city lights were coming into view when the clouds broke. The pilot was making some talk about initial approach on the intercom, when I saw a plane fly...

    No APU....

    Sitting on a B717-200. ... waiting to push back and the pilot comes on and lets us know that this aircraft doesn't currently have a functional APU, so they will start the enginges at the gate... blah bla blah. hmmm.... I'd like an APU on our flight. Is it a big deal on 717-200s?

    low flight over river....

    watched a 172 fly low over the tennessee river today - about 150-200AGL right down the river. (over water). It climbed, turned 180, and came right back. this area is an active MOA. - not to mention he/she wouldn't clear the tree line if the fan quit. He/She may learn the lesson someday...

    viability of GA for work question...

    This is a future possibility, and I am trying to wrap my head around incorporating this into my goals - or just letting it go. If I am going to travel a lot, I would like to be in control of the time and risk as much as possible. I would also like to be able to hit multiple cities easily...

    3 of them in tight formation over East Nashville... I would guess well under 1500AGL . -maybe headed into BNA - but they were excruciatingly loud with the low cloud cover.

    Pushing Tin

    "You land a million planes safely and then you have one little mid-air, and you never hear the end of it." (or something like that) -just started watching, and I've never seen it. That quote struck me pure wit with some dark fatalistic humor on top. Hope the rest is as good.
