    Are our little airplane window causing skin cancer?

    ^^^ yikes! Glad you're okay - gonna go slather some sunscreen on me now. As I get older I've found that dry skin has become more and more of a problem, and my wife found a moisturizer that provides sun protection. I've been using that liberally every morning these days. Of course the cosmic...

    [NA] As pilots, what are we switching to as we move away from cargo shorts and New Balance?

    Pretty sure it belongs in the Old Fart forum. :D

    airliner actual weight vs GTOW?

    I'm new to this long haul stuff, but I've been blown away by how accurate the fuel plans are. 15+ hour legs and and damned near 300,000 pounds of burn and we're commonly within just a few hundred pounds at touchdown.

    Annual Gaston's Fly-In Gaston’s Sep. 29 - Oct. 1, 2023 (3M0 or KBPK)

    I'm game for any of those dates, although it's a little far out to know for sure. My wife starts a new job in August so we're still trying to figure out what our new reality will look like. That said, if there's any way I can make it work - I'll be there!

    Steve Martin type huh? At least you *have* hair - lost just about all of mine in my mid-20s. :)

    Engine shutdowns in a Cessna 340 and a Cessna 421, a hydraulic system failure in an MD-80, and a flap system failure in an Embraer 190.

    Southwest back in the news

    Wasn't the 757/737/727 configured as a 3 and 3 the entire time? It's not like the cabin got thinner. Edit: Larry beat me to it.

    Yeah, I certainly wouldn't go to the regionals at 53, but there's a lot of other flying out there he could do that might be fun. Contrary to your cliché, just about every pro pilot I know (and there are quite a few) still actually enjoys flying airplanes, even for work. Just gotta find the right...

    Go Kings!!

    That's one of the things I hate about growing up in the west but living in the east - all the games I'm interested in start so damned late.

    Explain plane spotting to me

    Hah! There you go. It also seems to be a more common thing outside the US, for whatever reason.

    Explain plane spotting to me

    Not that I understand it either, but I think the photo taking process is part of it too. They know what's coming, but want to take a photo that's unique to what they've taken before. Different liveries, etc. Kind of like bird watching I suppose. Regardless, different strokes of course -...

    Explain plane spotting to me

    I know it's not cool to admit in aviation circles, but lots of people really do love airplanes. I think we just get numb to it after awhile. :)
