    Am I crazy for asking if this craft impacted inverted? The overview shots sure do look a lot like that to me.

    Kobe Bryant dead in helicopter crash

    I thought it looked like CFIT until I saw the cash site. That, and if the speed/altitude data holds to be true, it begins to look more like they exited controlled flight or Spacial-D in a climbing turn.

    Kobe Bryant dead in helicopter crash

    I'm guessing you've all seen this graphic. If they were headed to Mamba, this is odd. It originally looked like they were scud running to Malibu and missed the turn after climbing for terrain - turned back to catch Las Virgenes - descending to get back below the soup... Turns out my...

    Here's hoping the injured fully recover! - I too wonder about Bonanza production if this was its facility. -seems like a good way to convert or retract. -...nah... too early. - still hoping for recovery and comfort to those injured.

    Buying a HANGAR?

    Can the land-lease and hanger be configured so that you can rent out 1 space over the life of the loan? - even if - to make a deal with the devil - you only get 1/3 of the rental, it would alter your $$ equation significantly. I wouldn't COUNT on that offset to make it work, because it may go...

    How much longer to fix the 737 Max

    Hindsight is at least 20/15, but Boeing would've been better off paying every airline to get a new type-rating for a new aircraft. ... Despite that, it seems that management culture in production of aircraft had gotten seriously off kilter, and this hard hit - devastatingly costly to 345...

    Northern BBQ vs Southern BBQ

    Whitt’s BBQ is boiled. It is not true West Tennessee Pulled Pork BBQ. (it is tender and tasty due to the salt brine they boil it in.) True West TN pulled pork BBQ is a good, good thing. YOU sauce it - it doesn’t come sauced or diced. - It’s not everybody’s thing, and that’s ok - but...

    Did your Mother not raise you correctly?

    You are correct in your deduction that decorum and mutual respect are not being cultivated in our society, but I didn't have to tell you that. You already knew that. The very important take-away from this is the question that we all must answer for ourselves. Are you, in fact, Statler or...

    POA Movie thread

    Castles in the Sky - Amazon Prime. - about Sir Robert Watson-Watts and the invention and development of RADAR. - as an aside, hearing Neville Chamberlain announce that Britain is in a state of war with Germany tears me up every time. I guess getting a little older - and knowing what that...

    What happens if you fly a drone in a moving elevator?

    Fluid Dynamics at play^^ it's not just the motion of the elevator. - also, may have been said before, but any kind of gyro that senses rate of climb or fall to stabilize that little quad would doom it to the floor or ceiling - the air density changing in the elevator is an interesting thing...

    Overhead bins on a 777

    I’ll be on a Delta 777 in a couple of hours. If I remember, I’ll post what I find. Air Nippon 777 a couple of days ago seemed to have bigger bins above the center seats. - it was 10 across. Sardines.

    Cessna Citation crash-

    Article said that when he was released, he asked to go back to his house and collect some belongings (at around 1am) - an officer escorted him on the visit to the house. Who else thinks he went back to turn on a pattern of lights so that he could pick out his house at 2:30am? That. is. crazy.
