    Making a Murderer - Netflix

    Love that video. But that's not what happened here. Video was shot and played full. Was every bit played? No, 10 videos was more than enough. It'd take a thousand to show it ALL. Prosecution and the victims family were invited and THEY declined. The videos are as good as you're going to get...

    Mileage Tax to Replace Gas Tax ?

    If we strip the tax out of gas then gas would go so cheap that it'd likely kill electric cars.

    Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible?

    Re: Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible No problem. ;)

    Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible?

    Re: Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible Icing Conditions equal visible moisture AND an air temp between +5 C TAT and -40 SAT.

    Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible?

    Re: Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible At -40 Static Air Temp (SAT) it is impossible for water to exist in a liquid form. As Scott mentioned it's very unlikely at warmer temps like -30 C. But at -40 it's impossible. So, if the water can't be liquid...

    Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible?

    Re: Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible RAM rise is why I split out TAT and SAT temps (post #2). By using +5 TAT I've accounted for it.

    How long does it take to shovel a 50' sidewalk?

    Retractable confidence

    So how do you explain the mountain of crashed airplanes that landed with their gear up? Were physics different for them or were they all just bad pilots?

    Making a Murderer - Netflix

    The whole thing makes me sad. I doubt he did it. Why would he? He was about to be stupid wealthy from the scum that set him up....the first time. The deputy called in the car before it was found? Wtf? That right there blows their alibi. And yeah, no DNA despite supposedly raping and...

    Flight Schools In South Florida???

    I went to FlightSafety and was very happy with it. But my bill for CMEI was only $22K so YMMV.

    Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible?

    Re: Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible -40 C or F (it's the same) is a magic number. Water cannot exist in liquid form at that temperature and below. Since it can't be liquid it can't freeze onto an airplane and instead bounces off a plane in its...

    Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible?

    Re: Visible moisture, below freezing temperatures, but no icing. How is this possible Air is -40 or below. I would fly into it but my plane has anti-ice. If I were flying a plane w/out then any visable moisture from +5 TAT to -40 SAT would be a no go. Vis moisture = precip of any kind and/or...

    Pilots watch?

    I use a Moto X android phone to tell time. The cockpit has a digital clock set to Zulu. Does that count?

    Retractable confidence

    4 pages and it all boils down to being standard. Do it the same way every time and use a checklist. There's a reason being standard works. Doing the same thing the same way makes oddities stick out like a sore thumb. Make the gear not being down an oddity...make it obvious.

    Flying Nightmares

    I've had a recurring one where I'm in the back of an airliner taking off and they bank the plane. But it keeps rolling left and I realize it's too far and we are going in. That's when I wake up.

    Business jet silhouettes?

    FBOs use to scale cutouts for ramp planning. I'd guess they get them from somewhere and that somewhere must have a web presence. That'd be the angle I'd take. Honestly, your best bet is to sit out there and watch them fly over with FlightAware open. Then you know exactly what you're looking at.

    Another Part 91 Part 135 question. (This is long and kind of like a test)
