Yeah, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that one too, but that was the story. Apparently the pilot was an FAA examiner as well!

I came across this one today. I can't verify, but apparently this happened at Orlando Executive. The gator is said to have lifted his head up as a Navajo was landing, and made contact with a wing. 1x gator KIA.

This is driving me crazy now. Can anyone recall the name of the watch is that featured in those United Hemispheres Magazine advertisements? Steinhauer or something? They also have ads for fake pearls and jewelry. (Frequent fliers HAVE to know this add). I only bring it up because I'd love to...

Found the Breitling on EBay for $1200. If anyone was thinking about the first watch, buy this one, and PM me for the address to send the $1800 I just saved you.

For $3000?! If you're already paying that kind of money, just get the Breitling Chronograph with the second time zone thing in the band and be done with it.

Or maybe a documentary once the details have been declassified. http://www.duffelblog.com/2017/04/u-s-confirms-uss-carl-vinson-actually-off-coast-hawaii-1941/

The Duffel Blog is the military's equivalent of the Onion. If that's the original source the PO is citing, we could be waiting a while for TG2. o_O

I'll be interested to see where Pete Mitchell is in his career considering he was an O-3 back in 1986. Conservatively, that means he'd have gotten his commission in 1983 which means he's either a flag officer (and certainly not flying), or he'd have been forced into retirement a decade ago...

I'd love to have heard the backstory that prompted that decision.

Won't happen until the next time.

Fixed it. It made sense at the time :confused:

In fairness, World of Beer is more of a beer-themed restaurant than a bar full of people drinking with a purpose, but I get what you're saying too. On work travel, you end up finishing the day's meetings around 7, then you're left to catch up on the emails that piled up over the course of the...

Yeah, I have to admit it got the "fast scroll" before I had a chance to figure out what this was... Don't judge the lack of notifications. I can't help myself and clear the queue regularly...

That's what the savages have labeled it to make US feel like the afflicted ones... Think about that logic. We aren't the ones producing a ridiculous amount of noise when we eat. They make the commotion then accuse us of some disorder for not enjoying having our bubble interfered with. I...

Funny thing is, I'm NOT in a bar. Because if I was in a bar, this amateur hour garbage wouldn't be entertained. Lemoncello shots and comic book debates... Edited to clarify: not in anything that qualifies as a real bar. The sarcasm didn't translate well.

Thanks for sticking with it to the Costco plug!! Honestly, I'd rather be eatingcostco dogs with vodka right now. I think @Sac Arrow has it figured out. I envision a world where it's okay to karate chop one person per fiscal quarter in the throat. You get one freebee. I don't know how it's...

I got it, I may be exceeding my allotment of "new guy" rants, but I'm on the road this week for work and have nothing else to fill my evenings with beyond PoA, so here we go... Sitting in World of Beer or some other completely forgettable place with a million "micro" (but really InBev-owned)...

Early advice I was given. Just "think" about what you want the aircraft to do. That is to say don't make deliberate inputs to try to achieve what you think you want. Rather than pushing the cyclic and holding it in a deflected position, just do very small (we're talking 1/4 inch deflections...

D@mnit!! I thought I had that one. There's always someone quicker... I give up. I'm going to the Costco hotdog thread.

Lazenby all day... (said no one ever)
