    FAA launches investigation after two planes nearly collide at JFK airport

    Very clear explanation here with radio transcripts, although no actual audio and no timing of messages. "Kennedy Ground; American 106 Heavy, cross Runway 31 Left at Kilo." "I have a number for you." There are also *rumours* on web that it was some kind of line/upgrade check...

    Sparkplug Socket

    Here is what appears to be a Snap-on one on ebay. $12. ebay says "spark plug" and socket appears to have a rubber ring inside. Snap-on web site for part number SFS281 just says "deep socket" and doesn't mention rubber ring or spark plugs. Take care and good luck...

    And [Ctrl]0 (that's a zero) resets zoom to default (Chrome for sure but I think most/all others too).

    I can's stop laughing. I think I may be going to pass out. (But maybe it's just my blocker upsetting it, who knows?)

    Need help from Google Earth Pro expert

    Looks very similar to the ADS-B/radar coverage map described here. https://www.faa.gov/tv/?tag=google earth Let's hope the link works. [Edit - link seems good] Otherwise maybe google for: "FAA TV: ADS-B Coverage Map – Google Earth Plug-in" To hide a layer probably use the Places->Temporary...

    Router with VPN

    That had me going for a while, I suspect because the last job I did was a Meraki project. Then after a few seconds it dawned. The Pun Police have been dispatched.

    Tour Helicopter Down, Big Island, 6/9, All Survive

    Tail rotor failure quite often has survivors. Obviously tail boom loss is even worse, less drag on spinning hull and possible CG issues. I think that some helicopter training includes tail rotor failures. Much more than you ever wanted to know about tail rotor failures. Not a quick read, (I...

    B17 crash at Dallas.

    This seems pertinent to the recent discussion because none of the dead and injured were inside the airfield. Eleven people died and sixteen were injured when struck by an ex-military jet performing in an airshow in the UK in 2015. Many were on or beside nearby roads spectating unofficially and...

    B17 crash at Dallas.

    Here is a screenshot from blancolirio's recent video. Very close to the collision, maybe a second or two. I notice that there is no, or not much, up elevator on the P-63. Is that what would be expected in an aircraft with the bank angle shown for a constant altitude turn? Groundspeed was about...

    Router with VPN

    In my experience, with networking a picture is worth a universe of words. The two images show first of all what I think you are wanting to do, illustrated with two routers and two internet connections. The second shows a practical, cost effective, implementation. (I'll bet a cheap broken watch...

    You folks do know that JIS, Phillips and Pozidriv are different profiles? JIS bits - JIS screws etc Give me Robinson any day:) I believe JIS screws are supposed to have a little dot and pozidriv screws always have a vestigial additional cross at 45 degrees. Pozidriv screwdrivers have a...
