    Petition to save Great Barrington (KGBR) - a cool place to fly

    Solution: In the interest of national security because GA and private strips encourage young pilots needed for the air transportation system, make it a requirement that all real estate transactions in the vicinity of an airstrip include having the buyer sign a document acknowledging they’re...

    Petition to save Great Barrington (KGBR) - a cool place to fly

    I can’t express how much I hate people like that. Buy a house they know damn well is near an airport then decide they’re going to mess with other people‘s lives and try to shut it down. Spoiled narcissistic control freaks.

    I guess that was a “good” landing then.

    Pilots have lower emotional IQ

    There’s a YouTube creator I listen to that absolutely excoriates life coach and other forms of therapists as well as just about all liberal arts majors that result in jobs that don’t literally produce food, shelter and energy needed to sustain all of us. He’s a real Asshole. I love listening...

    Pilots have lower emotional IQ

    Making decisions based on objective reality instead of your fee fees sounds like a good thing to me. But of course more research is needed, we need to keep finding things to do and reasons for grant money for all these PhDs. No offense to those of you with PhDs.

    Again with walking into a prop!

    I read somewhere why they can’t put such protective mesh around jet intakes but I don’t know what effort has been made wrt to props. I can’t picture flying with a big mesh around it like my fan here.

    The 737 Max pain seems to go on and on for Boeing.

    So from the corporations’ standpoint less of a voluntary arrangement and more compulsory. Well if the FBI visiting Zuckerberg and pressuring him not to allow Hunter Biden laptop info on his site was just a friendly suggestion, maybe that’s not fascism.

    Again with walking into a prop!

    You would think. But directionally I guess the ear doesn’t really identify the source well enough (if it’s bouncing off hangar walls and such) and it’s not sudden if it’s been going on a while so the brain doesn’t perceive it as a threat. Maybe also people are used to car engines which don’t...

    Isn’t corporate- government collusion the literal definition of fascism?

    Full Power Run-up?

    I was taught to do them every time except if you’re doing full stop pattern work. But wdik.

    I never understood how fining a company helps the public. Don’t they just raise prices to cover it?

    Again with walking into a prop!

    Correct. Technically it’s not the prop you teach them to avoid; it’s a big empty sphere around the front of the plane. Doesn’t matter what you do or don’t see or hear, you don’t go within that bubble. Ever. For any reason. The ground under that sphere is hot lava, pretty much a semicircle...

    How Southwest Airlines started

    Yes things have changed, for the worse. They quit serving any food for a while there because “Covid”. And of course there was the whole mask misery. I do want the good food and attractive flight crew back. Or rather friendly flight crew which I somehow associate with attractiveness. But I...
