    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    I accidentally washed my hands with mouthwash at an FBO. Now they are minty fresh. I don’t think it was the first time I’ve done that.

    Black Jelly Bean Rant [N/A obviously]

    The same reason why some people like black jelly beans is also why some people fly north up - there’s just something wrong with them.

    Mig-29 taken out by Volkswagen

    Possibly equally embarrassing, if not more so. How much of the fleet is not airworthy if enough unlyable F22s at one base constitute 10% of the entire fleet? Is that normal for modern fighters to only have one in four planes actually able to fly? I’m just guessing at the number here but I can’t...

    Mig-29 taken out by Volkswagen

    I wonder what's more embarrassing. This accident or having 10% of the U.S. F22 fleet destroyed or damaged because someone decided not moving them out the way of a massive hurricane was sound strategy.

    Anybody know what the salvage laws are for airplane parts that fall on your property?

    In that case, pee on it. That should work.

    Taxes on my commercial flight

    I really don’t think that was it. Just looked at a 1/29 round trip. Cheapest ticket is $711. Every flight has that price. I’m sure someone has the ability to actually look at sold seats for those flights but I don’t know how. I’m dropping my plane off for annual in Boise that day and have a one...

    Taxes on my commercial flight

    Nope. The seat map was wide open. Even if you considered half the seats blocked off for social distancing, there was plenty of availability. It’s just Delta thinking here’s a guy that probably doesn’t have a choice so lets really overcharge him. I’ll still buy those tickets from time to time...

    Taxes on my commercial flight

    This is my point exactly. Delta loses $12 billion but still wants to grossly overcharge their best customers for the exact same product that their worst customer can buy for 1/4 the price.

    Taxes on my commercial flight

    And yet...I tried to book a ticket on Delta to go from Salt Lake to Boise this weekend. Delta wanted $744 for the coach comfort provided by an RJ. $78 was taxes. Baggage fees are not included. I can do that flight for $300 in fuel and the same amount of time. It's never hard to feel bad for...

    Certified vs experimental chopper

    I don't think that's a desk. I think that's where the controller plugs in. I just spent $20k fixing a ding in one propeller blade. That bed looks like a pretty good deal.

    I had heard of it but never actually heard it... "Meow"

    At least where I fly, which is mostly the Rockies, I hear it on 121.5 all the time. My deepest thanks for trying to do something about it.

    can I find out why a (commercial) flight was cancelled?

    Agreed. Happy to buy you a beer as we wait in the gate area.

    can I find out why a (commercial) flight was cancelled?

    Total ripoff. Doesn't pay for the scenario I just outlined. I'm not being unreasonable in the scenario I outlined. No weather is anywhere near my route of flight, I should be compensated for the cancelled flight as if it were a mechanical. At least when I pay a huge price for a last minute...

    can I find out why a (commercial) flight was cancelled?

    And BTW, in the scenario outlined above, if the airline just said "Sorry, we cut it too close but we have no choice because most of our customers would rather save a dollar than arrive on time, let us cover your costs.", I'd cease all whining.
