If nothing else it’s a great training exercise for a Maceys Turkey Day Parade gone bad…

That’s hilarious…

This is from an ITV show Behind the Scenes Heathrow a few years back. A multi part series and parts of I found interesting. The 10000 pounds a day is somewhat hard to believe though and how many landings are permitted on Heavy Aircraft tires prior to replacement? An answer I don’t know but...

I like angleofattack.com out of Homer Alaska…seems like a nice guy who wants to teach GA…has YouTube and Instagram channels…

That’s a smoking hole…hard to imagine what happened there

Coordinating altitude with the AF operationally for the Army during my time was 200ft…Going above that was just being nice.

That’s brutal…

Just as a Data point…as I mentioned my daughter and her stranding in this thread, this morning she received $841.00 reimbursement for rent car and travel expenses, also a credit for her original round trip flight and 25 K miles which is really an average round trip flight. So at least they are...

During the Cold War Germany where the whole country was considered a maneuver area by the US Army it was allowed but not encouraged…problematic with to much ambient light for 1st Gen goggles and stupid unaided…160th maybe but they publish and make everyone aware…but not KW’s. more than likely police.

I just rented a car for my kid to drive from Little Rock to Scottsdale…SWA cancelled her flight for tomorrow, two days ago…a simple text and no other notification. There just were no viable options out of there and the one time I am down with a hip replacement surgery and the airplane in AZ as...

My weekend driver is a Ford F-150 Crew Cab 4wd with the 2.7 ecoboost. I tow a little but rarely over 5K pounds and you really don’t know it’s there. Gets 22-23 on the Highway unburdened and with a slightly lower rear end is scary quick to 60mph…faster than the 3.5. If something happened to it I...

Likewise my wife is on the way home from the airport from a four day, a United flight attendant that overnighted in Rapid City, Ft Meyers and Omaha…going through both Denver and Chicago…the crew waived duty days twice to make flights happen ( Also have a hotel room to sleep in…) ground zero for...

My kid is stuck in Arkansas…her Southwest flight two days from now was just canceled this morning and they have nothing to rebook until the first of January. Other options including Airports in a 250 mile radius are all 2k$ one way for a flight…they have imploded the system and Spirit looking...

If you think training only happens on the flight deck on military transport you need to figure out you know nothing about military aviation…probably need to discuss it with a loadmaster or crew chief…so many unique situations through out the spectrum of military aviation and branches…training...

Personally we are punting this year…Wife is working a 4 day so some one with little kids gets off and I am recovering from hip replacement surgery…sucks getting old…Just me and the dog, as kids are with in-laws this year. Normally my favorite time of the year and do lots of volunteer work, but...
