Well, it's not an all or nothing thing, maybe. I get the sentimental attachment. But if the lid is fine, maybe order a new lower section and reuse the lid?

Especially since every airplane we lose, we essentially lose permanently. Fleet size decreases with every event like this.

Of course not. Massive cover up on the part of Big Aerosol.

I'd also be interested in this. I'm based at 20GA, but live in north Atlanta area.

They won't say or think anything. Robots typically don't have opinions.

https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-force-discovered-the-flaw-of-averages.html Interesting article about how there's no "average" pilot. I know, sounds dry... but I found it fascinating.

This. I can listen to types of music I don't normally like, for example, if I can watch them play and they play well.

Something that maybe gets overlooked these days... My grandfather apparently built not one, but two different houses after he got back from the war. It wasn't a hobby like some things these days. He had a family, and he had to literally put a roof over their heads. He wasn't a carpenter by...

There's a fair bit of 'lazyweb' going on, sure. But sometimes you can know the answer but not understand the answer. I think that's what some of this is... sure, you can google it. But if you don't understand the answer you find, it's tough. I try to interpret "dumb" questions as "Hey, I don't...

You gave me an idea. The overlay graphics are ok, but I wonder if I could take the geotracker output and script some ironman style hud graphics in blender. Use it for the rendering and compositing.... hmmm.

/me burps, raises hand. "I'm a pilot."

With her background, she may not be a FA for long. I don't know, but I'd imagine she could move up quick if she wanted to. What's a non-flying career path look like at an airline with her qualifications?

I dunno. Fleshspace sounds vaguely pornographic. Y'all need to read the classics.

Me too, but... you know... in the plane. :)

Might be easier to just live in it.

I saved for weeks to get a pair of Serengeti Aviators. Folding, even.

I took it more in the sense of a poor student just starting out. Not everyone comes to this hobby later in life, or from Money. When I was learning to fly at 22, I skipped lunch most days so I could fly once every two weeks. I think it's important to tell young people just starting out that...

My jacket was only $420. https://www.cockpitusa.com/men/a-2-flight-jackets/reissue-a-2-jacket Harumph.

No flame war... just cynically noting that lithium ion batteries have been used in laptops for... 15 years? And it's not news that such a battery can fail in a fairly spectacular way. And that's accidentally. Wouldn't take much at all to include some stuff in the volume of a laptop to...
