Missed it, thanks...

This looks interesting but it seems like the system takes you for a nice ride when engaged in an emergency. I would have a hard time sitting back and giving up the controls. http://www.gizmag.com/vp-400-emergency-landing-system/22308/ "The VP-400 system is constantly imagining the worst...

Re: Gov't Aircraft lack FAA oversight? It's the lack of airworthiness oversight is what's bothering me. I can understand aircraft operations.

Gov't Aircraft lack FAA oversight? Can someone explain this? "The Federal Aviation Administration has long said it doesn't have the authority to apply regulations to government agencies as long as their aircraft are engaged in public missions like firefighting or law enforcement. The FAA...

From a jolt like that the CRJ may have additional damage primarily in the tail cone area. I agree that JFK is a large airport however I tend to slow down when nearing the ramp and tie downs.

This is exactly why you should keep your seat belt fastened until the plane reaches the gate. Is it just me but it appears that the A380 is taxing rather fast. Not that it would make much of a difference.

It's not working. I don't understand!? :thumbsup:

OSHA? Common sense ruled the day during those times.

What impresses me the most is that all of manufacturing was done with out any CNC machinery. Every component manually measured and machined to fractions of an inch.

The Corvalis owners to take a 75K loss on the insurance claim. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2012359770_colton15m.html

Let's not forget that in the seventies there was a wide "consensus" of "scientists" that the climate is cooling..... I'll leave it at that.

Very unfortunate, condolences to the families of all involved. I speculate that the pilot might have realized the gear was not deployed and instinctively pulled up striking the tail against the runway. Based on the video after the tail strike it looks like the plane veered to the right and hit...

AP reporting a small plane down with 5 on board, four dead and one still missing. Based on eyewitness reports the plane broke apart in flight. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hAB_6UPzUy5rTvbMgvHDs_EqziMQD9DSTLMG0 On another note, this is my first official post. I have...
