    Boeing’s on a streak...

    https://apple.news/A5MuGnhugT_eBrCE-RMDVNQ Is this where more Boeing news is posted? It’s a crying shame. Looks like it’s originating from a subcontractor but it falls back on them. Good that they’re noticing and owning, bad for their string of bad luck/bad news continuing. Sure hope they...

    Loose horse forces Air Atlanta to return to JFK

    Several of my fellow FFs from Miami Dade responded to the cattle crash. A few months ago they brought it up during our weekly get together at Duffy’s and there were some classic stories with that one. The planes did depart the end of the runway still on the ground but didn’t have enough room to...

    Another First Officer...

    Couldn‘t that be considered hijacking? I would think that’s a more serious charge than “interfering with a flight crew member! Now he will never move to the other seat, He’s Dunn! Maybe before the trial give the family of the medical emergency passenger’s time alone with the First Officer...

    Hard to watch as a personal friend and fellow pilot since childhood but done tastefully with respect and this is appreciated very much by those who knew Spad and his family.

    Richard McSpadden Crash

    It was our 10 Year Page High School in GSO. He definitely won for most classic arrival!!! It was years later when I met his brother and parents and realized that the whole family had such an aviation background. I first saw him in shows when I was at an air show in ILM with the Blue Angels...

    Richard McSpadden Crash

    I grew up with Richard and knew and respected him and his family. His dad started off his boys flying young at W88 and they both turned aviation into careers, and a way of life. They were all, pilot’s pilots! His dad was President of the Navion Society for years and his brother Cliff also had...

    FAA ethics rules on receiving gifts?

    Maybe some bags of high end coffee for the break room, nice crackers, cookies, or fruit also. If it’s for all it may be more acceptable and as mentioned before; an email of thanks including their boss or manager.

    A tough decision

    It can be a very tough decision as I’ve agonized over it several times. But like others have said, your companion has depended on you to care for them and when it’s that time, they’ll appreciate no longer suffering. It’s not easy but never once have I regretted doing what was best for the animal...

    THE. CAT. PEED. IN. MY. FLIGHT. BAG.

    We have several Firehouse special recipes for you! Even a Surf-n-Turf version... This usually offends the animal rescue groups, though. Meat loaf, AKA “Cat Loaf” is just one of many recipes to get our minds off the truly bad scenes we run across. FF’s tend to sometimes have a bit more warped...

    Mad for my friend

    As I’m a medic working Fire Rescue in South Florida I have a vested interest in wearing masks that work and really appreciate that and when others are wearing masks around me! When I’m on a known or suspect COV-19 call I’m wearing a N-100 mask. I wore a N-95 mask for years but several years ago...

    Toilet Paper

    That’s right, most of us are in real quarantine without having to post anything! My family is over 200 hundred safe miles away while I’m facing/working the front lines in South Florida. Politics, partisan or not just seems to suck these days and it’s amazing the divide that it’s caused between...
