    When will they ever learn...

    I agree about the booze NOT being sold in airports and on board. If airlines want that revenue, they have to deal with the resulting consequences.

    Travolta giving his 707 to museum

    They didn't pay him. He said that it's too expensive to maintain, so he bartered with Quantas to become their ambassador to promote the brand in exchange for maintenance on his 707.

    Landing tips

    Stick with it. At some point, it will click. And from there it will become second nature. You just need to keep going. In the beginning, I was always right of centerline even on calm days. And ballooning. For me, I think it clicked around 100-150 landings. I have 504 now, and honestly it's...

    New PPL - Flying For Fun and Sightseeing

    Exactly. Flying is flying, whether with your CFI, another pilot, or a non-pilot passenger. The thing that hit me the most after getting PPL is that it's now 100% my decision as to go/no go. That's a big responsibility and one I take very seriously. But I'd have to say that my CFI's always...

    If I do, it'll be raining drone bits.

    Engine failure

    Can you land on a Parkway? Or only Expressways? You can't drive a truck on a Parkway, so I would think a plane is a no-go either.

    Another article makes a little more sense. http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2017/05/15/american-airlines-accused-racism-after-downgrading-woman-from-first-class.html Two things stand out. This is "the worst racism this woman has encountered her whole life". If that's true, she should be...

    https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/american-airlines-accused-racism-sending-085900013.html Actually, I don't know what they seem to have done wrong. This story makes no sense (to me). This woman (who has an AA Platinum Select/World Elite credit card) bought 2 tickets for her and a friend and...

    Thinking about moving to the midwest late this year

    Wow, some great advice. Lots to think about. Brought out some places that I hadn't really considered (i.e. Minneapolis, KC, New England, Pitt). And some great opposing comments on several places (i.e Indy, Chicago, KC) Thanks again all.

    Thinking about moving to the midwest late this year

    I haven't. I'm more of a Business Analyst. Increasing productivity, efficiency, systems enhancements, etc. I guess it can be applied outside of financial services. Thanks

    Thinking about moving to the midwest late this year

    Wow, lots of great advice. Thank you. Let me add a little more details to give a better idea what I'm looking for. Weather- I absolutely HATE humidity. I want to avoid it. NYC has been gross for the past 15-20 years, it seems like it gets worse every year. 90+ degrees and 80%+ humidity...

    Thinking about moving to the midwest late this year

    nMy colleagues and I found out recently that our cushy jobs may be coming to an end either late this year or early next. We worked for one of the biggest Wall Street companies out there but our department got sold late last year. The company that bought us is planning to use their own analysts...

    Islip ,NY

    I think FRG controllers are very good actually considering the **** they have to deal with. I did a tower tour a few months ago and saw the sexy voiced female controller in person. She's way hotter than I imagined.:) Sent from my 2005 flip phone using Talk

    Please, just don't do this... (NTSB Factual, Turbo Lance Dec 2015)

    I probably missed where it explained it, but what caused his wings to detach from the frame? Spin? Overspeed?

    One thing that should have been taught to you in basic training, but was not.

    He never files a VFR flight plan either.
