  1. Perhaps, but looking at the video, it seems to me, the pilot had ample time to see the boat, before he attempted take-off and got the nose up..................... should have delayed take-off.
  2. What is the difference between...... Iron Man ...and.... Iron Woman ?? Iron Man is a super hero Iron Woman is a command You're welcome
  3. I guess if a seaplane becomes a marine vessel while on the water, then the boat had the right of way. This is the rule most boaters follow....."If vessels are going to cross tracks, the vessel to the right of your intended course has the right of way"
  4. The T-33 called Tower at 5 miles on final, and Tower replied: " Continue". As the T-33 reached 2 miles on Final the Tower told T-33; "Go-around...B52 , seven miles final with an engine out has priority." Responded the T-33 pilot: " Roger, giving way to the B-52 doing the dreaded 7 engine approach ".
  5. Perhaps some of the older generation that drove "tank-like" cars felt they were safer back then
  6. Today's launch with the two astronauts has been scrubbed........again.
  7. Put that in the pile with those that believe Trump was NOT guilty
  8. And we are getting some......oh gooooody
  9. They should print those photos, with a small narative, and a brief explanation about unexpected turbulence into a two page pamphlet and in big letters...... THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT WHEN SEATED But it will never happen
  10. When I see his statement, (air pockets), I immediately think of those that think the engines actually run backwards when, upon landing, we go into "reverse".
  11. I'll put it up tomorrow.....
  12. Malcolm.....I think the reporter or individual who wrote that definition was actually older than me to equate Air Pocket with CAT There was a thing called an AIR POCKET back in the fabric and wire days when little was known about the upper atmosphere and the movement of high and low pressure systems and the jet stream but todays avaitors would never use that word when describing turbulence.. Unforseen Turbulence is the term today and I would like to think that not one pilot would use "Air Pocket" when describing an area of turbulence. Even just saying CAT would mean nothing if that abbreviation was used on the PA. to passengers.. In addition CAT is a bit of a misnomer. One can experience Unforseen Turbulence while flying in many kinds of clouds.....a lot of pilots have experienced the bumps and lumps in stratus clouds when there was no forecast of embedded cumulus or worse, in the area.. Surely you remember my story of the Gooney Bird Corkscrew
  13. Rick Jones, WestJet’s interim head of route planning, told a conference Monday that the postponement relates to pilot training as well as the measurement units used in the cockpit. Been out for quite some time.......could I get an explanation here...Thanks in advance
