^^ I truly am sorry for the loss of life... seems like their was a kid on the plane as well.

I am sorry for the loss of life - for the pain that ones left behind will feel,... AND I cannot agree with you more. Sheesh! - how exactly does that conversation go? "uh,... hey guys, ummmm....." "What is it?".... "aaahhh... hmmmm, yeah, ... it's nothin. I'm just gonna duck...

^^ yeah, that's a lot of hours.

Case in point. $65 is a mighty fine number.

"the Proficient Pilot" - Barry Schiff. Knowing how flight works (you'd be surprised) and understanding the power curve can influence how you approach your own minimums, decision making, and SOPs. It is a good read. Others can verify or dissent, but with my limited experience, I think it is a...

Tfitch, -Stall induced your steep turn, they had entered a shallow (left) bank and that was enough for that wing to let go (stop flying). Sad. Sheesh. Mush, mush, mush, mush... Throttle, elevator, mush, settle, stall. Looks like they rode the edge for a long time in this vid.

I was about to say, often, when a foreign national has any papers which are missing or "out of order", $$ grow in place of eyeballs. If you plan to fly internationally, $65 could be a lot cheaper than what a foreign government "official" thinks they can get out of you... And they don't even...

Just a note about the Cirrus pilot having two helos in sight. The controller had no way of knowing which 2. I could imagine a scenario where a controller would see the FW and RW in proximity, but assume that the FW sees the RWs in closest proximity - and doesn't alert the FW pilot of the...

2nd the nylabone.

- media reports. one old, one new, and I'm too lazy to quote it. You may be making the point that those numbers may or may not have anything to do with the incident flight. I'm pretty sure we are all aware of that. If you want to challenge that data, I support you in that. If you find...

hmmm... what a fine line between informing and merely shouting at someone. Life. Is. Too. Short. - glad to learn new stuff, though.

One would think; however, still images of the breakup shown by media do not have White Knight in the frame. ?? -I'm just sick for the families. "The future is built on many hard days like these..." etc, etc. blah blah blah. sure, but it sucks, and it feels different when it is a...

Overdrive: Honestly, I see good things in your openness. Being humble is a HUGE requirement to filling an alpha role. Ask me how I learned that. :) Crate: (I say this with understanding and no judgement. At one time, I didn't know this either.) Her crate is her safe place. Never...

... and leave instructions for someone else on where/how to post it. :rofl:

AAaaaaaaha hahahahahaaaa!!! I think we have all been there. I think it was spaghetti for me... years ago. Our pup was never a counter-surfer, but one night the front door wrang, and I just hopped up from the TV and left spaghetti sitting right in front of her at nose level. While locked...

:) yep, ... bad things.

I have no idea, but news reports seem to indicate that it was not; however, it has also been reported that the two craft separate at 50,000ft, and the incident initiated about 2 minutes after separation at 45,000ft. ?? RIP to the lost pilot and condolences to his loved ones.

ever spilled water into hot grease in a fry pan... over a gas burner? "it" may not burn, but the grease/water combo looks a lot like an alchohol fire. very, very impressive.

Overdrive, You are not alone. Each dog is unique, like us, but.... it will help if you can remember what you are experiencing is an expression of anxiety... from an animal that cannot use logic or reason to calm itself down. It will have to learn through experience that "x" situation...

This is awful. Of course, I knew what was going to happen, but in the audio when the controller alerts that 3 helicopters are operating in the area, and the SR22 pilot responds that he has 2 in sight my heart sank into my gut. ugh. I immediately wanted to resolve that unknown risk. Where is...
