    KJAC in Spring

    Oh you were just looking at the first picture. I thought you meant the second picture wind had pushed the plane around. I can be dense too, also grew up on leaded fumes.

    Russian pilot ejects, first person footage!

    That semester I took back in college finally paid off! 😁 Kidding, I wish! I used Google Translate.

    Russian pilot ejects, first person footage!

    Russia says it was a training accident. https://archive.ph/bmrCv I’ll translate for you: MOSCOW, June 17 - RIA Novosti. In the Korochansky district of the Belgorod region, a Su-25 attack aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces crashed, the press service of the Western Military District (ZVO)...

    Boeing really can't get it right these days . . .

    Well that’s embarrassing.

    The biggest gotchas

    From my years of reading the medical forums I would say the most frequent problems that unexpectedly trip up would be pilots are the following: 1) being prescribed ADHD meds as a kid no matter how short a time you took them 2) being prescribed antidepressants at any time for any reason 3)...

    Rather close to wires?

    Wow. I’d risk death to take a flight like that. At least when I was young and adventuresome. Fantastic picture, I can‘t imagine what it looked like in real life.

    You’re the friend in Norway? Cool. Or maybe this time of year, cold.

    Will an airplane engine failure on takeoff cause an aerodynamic stall?

    I don’t see why not.

    Will an airplane engine failure on takeoff cause an aerodynamic stall?

    Nice. If you have a regular bike you could just strap it to the roof like I see on cars. 😝

    Again with walking into a prop!

    We hammered into our kids to give ALL props of ALL airplanes at ALL times a wide berth. Doesn’t matter if it’s tied down and has a cover over the windshield. At no time ever were they to go near the arc of any prop. The idea was to make it automatic muscle memory and I hope it sticks with...

    Again with walking into a prop!

    More on that case (where he survives): Somewhere I saw a video of one that became a red spray out the back. Pictures of the engine afterwards looked just like somebody had smeared ground beef all over the inside of the casing. Talk about insta-death.

    United with record profits

    Yes! This is also in effect at large corporations at middle management level in the U.S. You might think your job is to improve the product or process, you make suggestions for empowering the employees so that decisions can be made at lower levels for immediate improvement only to find that’s...

    United with record profits

    Yep. I don’t think it’s associated with sloth, but rather resignation in a system with no hope of bettering yourself through work. The upward mobility of the American Dream due to a mostly free market was rare historically and is absent in China. When upward mobility is possible (carrot), and...

    Flying pictures worth sharing.

    Looks like a zombie hand rising out of the swamp.
