    Diabetes

    Hey all, I'm finally at a point where I'm going to be able to get my pilot's license, and I have a few questions about getting my medical, namely with getting my diabetes through it. I know that all the numbers I've had recently have been good, and for those who know the numbers My last two...

    On line social networking sites?

    I personally think that Facebook is easier to use, and looks a lot nicer than MySpace. I also think that it provides more security options as far as who can find you on there. Facebook also doesn't have music playing in the background when you load someone's page. You would have to click play...

    Van Nuys Twin Nose Gear Failure Happening Now

    I used to think that that would have been a good idea. Then I realized- you are transporting priceless (well, half million dollar) cargo (humans) in a plane that is generally worth a good bit less than that. Why put the more expensive thing at risk? Bend the airplane and save the lives of all...

    Chinese homegrown ARJ-21 makes maiden test flight

    I wonder how much the lead in it reduced payload. Or have they stopped that now?

    Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down

    the last (and only) store I set foot into on black friday was Guitar Center. I got there 5 minutes before they opened, and it was like me and about 12 other people waiting to get in. I got into the drum section, and no one else was in there until I had to check out. So, no, I don't shop much...

    Wal-Mart worker dies after shoppers knock him down

    This is really sad: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iDXtETwP7G17BQsO07DecwxuziLgD94O1UD01 Apparently stores opening at 5am isn't early enough for some people. How can you knock someone over, and then continue to run OVER them? This is really sad.

    Solo Pilot goes blind in flight, lands safely

    Well then if you are going to exclude speed from being an axis of control (okay, I realize that was a stupid mistake), then it is 3 to 1 instead 2 to 4, but you do have to control your speed in both a car and an airplane, so while its not an axis, it is still something that must be controlled...

    As ugly as it is, look at the bright side- if the cops are chasing you all you have to do is extend the wings.

    Solo Pilot goes blind in flight, lands safely

    Re: Amazing! Blind pilot lands plane.... Really. I'd say it'd be four axes- speed, pitch, yaw and roll. So we are looking at a vehicle with twice the axes, and remember how they tried to make Adam and Jamie drive blindfolded? Because the pilot had sight before and he knew how to fly, just...

    Amazing pilot, lands with only one wing!

    Wow, that is crazy. Isn't it true that none have been shot down in combat, or something of the sort? I heard something like that somewhere once.

    Solo Pilot goes blind in flight, lands safely

    It also says he was flying at 15,000 feet. I hope he had an oxygen system in that plane. I also hope it is a 182 because a 172 has a ceiling of 13,500 ft.

    Solo Pilot goes blind in flight, lands safely

    You know insurance would make someone fly right... its just a matter of telling insurance that they need just one person in the plane.

    Holy cow, look at this video - one winged landing!

    I'm sorry, its just that that is the kind of link I'd expect to be posted on a site inhabited by a bunch of immature kids, not adults. Edit- I'm not gonna pull that card, because a) I'm not the best when it comes to the internet, despite what my parents think (and try to instill in my brain...

    A Cigeratte Boat

    If that didn't require split second timing and two crazy people to pull off I"d say it was planned. That is crazy.
