    The French are coming!!!

    ...airframe? Every new, white board product they have tried to design in the aircraft area has lost to its competitors. Boeing needs to get its sh*#% together when it comes to its defense division, particularly when it comes to aircraft development. Secondly, EADS is not a French company. It...

    B2 crash in Guam?

    I read a thread on another board that a B2 crashed in Guam shortly after takeoff. Pilots ejected ok. Can anyone find a link to a news report?

    IMAX movie: Fighter Pilot, Red Flag

    I just saw this movie the other day and saw something I thought was odd. In the last 15 minutes or so of the movie, they show a pre-flight briefing. During the briefing it appears that one pilot is randomly picked from the auditorium to be "shot down" behind enemy lines. The pilot leaves and...

    Place your bets: Experience vs. Technology

    Another F15 down - in Hawaii It appears another F15 is down, this time from the 199th in Hawaii. Article does not say if this Eagle was involved in training with VX9 or not. It will be interesting to see what the cause of this accident is. Glad the pilot made it out ok...

    B-52 anyone?

    SkyWest RJ Captain down to 1 year!!

    Ah, even the youngest private makes life and death decisions daily in Iraq and Afghanistan. Often those decisions have life and death consequences. You think the "commanders" are standing around with them all day telling them when to pull the trigger? On another note, I am pretty sure the...

    Question about something on Discovery Channel

    I was just watching a clip on Discovery Channel. Not sure what the show was called, but it featured a lot of footage from the USS George Washington. The show showed footage of an F-18 landing on the carrier, catching a wire, the wire snapping and the plane going off the end of the carrier with...

    Southwest off the runway at MDW

    Quick question.... First of all glad to hear all from the plane are out safely and most on the ground are ok. When an incident like this, at a smaller airport like MDW occurs, what happens to all the planes in the stack? Are they sent into a holding pattern by ATC, diverted to other aiports...

    Is Vegas safe?

    While researching a trip I will soon be taking to Las Vegas, I stumbled accross this article and it has made me wonder if Vegas is indeed safe to visit. It appears that deadly chemtrails are very prevalent in LV... http://www.lasvegastribune.com/20050819/headline1.html

    Today is a very important day!!!

    This might be the most idiotic thread ever.... As an American citizen, born to immigrant parents, and having lived and worked, in Europe for two years, I find this entire thread commical. The rules and laws since 9/11 have not made the US any safer at all. They have taken away certain civil...

    Where's the love??!! Woman Kicked Off SWA Plane for T-Shirt

    Bush, Clinton, who cares.... Both of them have missed the boat. Clinton should have been way more proactive in dealing with Al Queda. Bush should be fighting the war in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria and possibly Iran. Iraq and Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. As another poster pointed...

    America West pilots to the pokey

    I agree with most your assertions... Except this: He!! Landing 35 in PHL while they are using 27R is far more chancy than 2 pilots operating alittle inpared While I have no idea how dangerous landing 35 in PHL while they are using 27R is, I can certainly tell you that anyone that tests over...

    Awa Merger

    Pilots do not generate revenue. The passengers generate revenue for you. All pilots supply is the service for that revenue. In reality, within the company, pilots are a drain on revenue. Yes, I know, the planes don't go anywhere, the passengers don't go anywhere, without pilots flying the...

    You want the A380 to be a failure?

    Who Cares... 40% of the A380 is supposedly manufactured in the US. I'm sure it will be a success. But as a passanger, I will do everything in my power to avoid flying one. I am prety sure no airline is actually going to put the spas, work out areas, bars into them as has been marketed...

    People outside aviation are waking to the dangers of Chemgoo

    Found this on another BBS. It looks like the secret is getting out to the general public. I wonder how much longer "They" will continue with daylight chemgoo operations? http://chicago.craigslist.org/rnr/70098786.html

    Oil at $80/barrell

    I was wondering what everybody thought might happen to the industry should oil hit $80 a barrell this summer. I have read about this possibility in several different newspapers over the last couple of weeks. If this should occur, what would the effect be on the airline industry...particularly...

    A loyal Platinum Delta business pass speaks up

    Standman, It is not that I don't like RJ's. I travel a decent amount for work - 10 roundtrips a month from Chicago. The RJ is fine for trips no more than 1 1/2 hours. After that, forget about it. I am 6'4, 200lbs. I could care less about the food, movies, music, all that garbage. What I...
