    Not much to add, but I could not resist.

    Best GA Airport Option for Brooklyn

    FRG is most likely the best choice. All other options except for ISP are of the main land of Long Island and travel to Brooklyn will require bridge/tunnel crossings which can be a nightmare. I am out of Long Beach and FRG is where I operate from (not currently active). If you are interested I...

    American Airlines puts down deposit on Boom Overture Aircraft

    Brilliant response, that's the direction of late by world's governing bodies. However, I feel that in today's age the "Concord" concept re-invented as Boom can be significantly improved by the many advances in materials alone.

    This crash will have consequences.

    I agree, it's been dead since 1871.

    American Airlines puts down deposit on Boom Overture Aircraft

    This whole thread reminds me of a movie I recently watched "Starflight One". I always loved the Concord for what it achieved as an icon and a engineering marvel. I actually had the chance to witness the last commercial flight of the concord back in 2003 from JFK while I was building a house in...

    I think I'll keep wearing my mask when the pandemic is over

    I agree 100%! I have open face and full face helmets in my inventory and with out a doubt I prefer the open face for the added peripheral vision and perceived freedom. I will typically use the open face helmet for around town travels since lower speeds are involved. On longer trips where...

    TWA 800 anniversary

    At the time of the crash I was working night shift installing Cat5 cables at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola Long Island. When the crash was reported in the media the hospital immediately began preparing for the potential arrival of victims. It was a somber moment when by early morning...

    Iphone is getting a little scary

    He made two additional videos where he prerecorded the video using the same procedure and then uploaded the completed video for viewing. In his third video he was strictly talking about dental hygiene and how he "brushes his teeth in the shower". Remarkably numerous ads appeared with shower...

    (NA) 1 Pack of Cigarettes vs. Lungs

    I purchased an Apollo 13 Pinball machine in 2010 that was a re-import from Finland. I spent six weeks restoring it, unfortunately it took about six years for the cigarette smoke aroma to diffuse out of all of the wood components.

    (NA) 1 Pack of Cigarettes vs. Lungs

    In the video he is using the vacuum chamber to completely filter the smoke through the cotton balls. While smoking a typical cigarette an individual inhales and exhales the smoke intermittently only absorbing/depositing a fraction of the smoke within the lungs. I never smoked cigarettes but...

    JetBlue Near Miss With GA Plane

    P47 down in the Hudson R. ?

    This is unbelievable, I saw them fly formation at the shore line earlier in the day. I have seen that plane many times on the ramp and inside of the museum hangar. The thing I can't get over is the nearly perfect ditching and that he was unable to release from the harness as witnessed by some...

    Parts of small plane found NYC

    I just posted a reply on the RB and I find the theory very likely. If wake turbulence is somehow determined a factor then this accident seems to be the product of Murphy's law based on the analysis. Below is the quote of my post and observations that day. "Dan, excellent analysis and...

    NuWay Constr Supply, lying bastards!

    Ignorance is rampant and nobody cares anymore. I can relate since I occasionally build spec homes and my biggest issue is dealing with "residential" contractors. They never show up as promised and never do what asked in the time frame agreed upon. This is typical of about 90% of them. Keep...

    Man Parks Plane in Driveway

    This is few minutes from where I live. I will definitely go by there to see this for myself. I am really curious how he got it there from FRG.
