    Cox email moving to Yahoo?

    Hi Management, I don't want to worry you however a thread has appeared from sometime round about 1998! Perhaps you have a virus or hacker?

    Flightaware N number spoofing?

    Apparently this aircraft operated in the US for some years with different codes in it's two transponders. They appear to switch transponders every leg. I noticed the not-joined-up ADSB legs. It even passed very close to the White House (3 miles) showing the weird wrong country code. No one shot...

    "8. AIRCRAFT PARKING FEES First 40 minutes (from touch-down to take-off) NO CHARGE" What's not to like, free parking?

    An interesting engine conversion - flat plane to cross plane four cylinder

    This image from the film shows the firing intervals. 90, 180, 270, 180, crank angle. I can't imagine this ever being acceptable in a normal road car. I have read what I can about uneven firing intervals being applicable to bike racing and there seems to be some traction advantage connected with...

    Wiggins 1046, B99 N53RP down outside of KMHT 1/26/24

    Thanks for the links to twitter photos. Twitter (at least browser twitter, no idea about app) tends not to show full resolution images. Here is the max res available from twitter. I have uploaded the images and there are links to twitter below. Changing "name=whatever-they-give-you" to...

    Email address decoding

    Possibly ... Some senders think that the gmail method (register x.y@gmail.com and you automatically also get xy@gmail.com. Sending to either works) is universal and they have decided to only keep one of the versions in their database. So they have decided to transform "Matthew.PilotsOfAmerica"...

    Helicopters on this forum?

    pprune.org has a helicopter section. https://www.pprune.org/rotorheads-23/ Don't worry too much about the "professional" tags. In the heli section all aviators and prospects seem welcome. Just don't post photos of your first solo in the main "Rumours and News" forum. Bit of a UK lean I guess...

    Chrome Problem

    Sorry, I shouldn't have used the term "reboot". There is no such term in Windows. This is critical. Open the power menu, hold down the shift key and chose "Shutdown". Remove power as far as possible, disconnect cord, remove battery if possible. Replace battery, power it up and try Chrome...

    Chrome Problem

    Yes sure. I think I would check that the OS isn't corrupted first. I considered posting the reinstall chrome option as the earlier one and ultimately decided against it.

    Chrome Problem

    If all that fails - uninstall Chrome, full restart, and re-install Chrome

    Chrome Problem

    If a full cold restart does not fix it - I would - (in theory, make sure I have a backup) Check integrity of OS files. This can take a while, possibly hours but usually not in my experience, and will make heavy use of the disk so I would do it when you do not need the machine. From...

    Chrome Problem

    Try a reboot. Yes, you read that right. No, I don't think you are an id10t. It's ******* Microsoft **** **** ! No obvious option available in modern Windows will do a cold start. Since W8 at least. "Shutdown" closes all apps, does a Hibernate (with driver refresh - whatever that is) and...

    Seamax m22 Crash East Hampton NY

    Google translate worked. They seem to have changed the interface, I had to download the Italian doc, point google at it and then download the translation. I will try to upload it here. Looks good, 5M is not so much now. Google Translated preliminary report follows.

    Viking Aircraft Engines, thoughts? (Honda piston AE?)

    Does it count if you only use two of the cylinders?

    Jump Pilot Blames Skydiver For Fatal Midair Collision

    Yes. I suppose the wing-suiters want to go down as slowly as they can (to some approximation) and the pilot wants to go down as fast as he can (precisely and exactly), cos time is money. The wing-suiters start first. The plane may overtake the wingsuiters, guess they didn't work it out.
