wife and kids hate me? really?! I currently work in excess of 100 hours a week, 50% as a firefighter/paramedic which I absolutely love doing, but in the end my 'hourly rate' is probably barely over minimum wage when factoring in the time away from home. Going into aviation wouldn't be too much...
I'm looking at getting back into aviation after a 6+ year hiatus. My dream has always been to fly, but that hit the wall since I got my ratings in 2002 and started a family. Now that I'm more settled, I'm looking to get back into it. I currently have about 270 total time (all 6+ years ago)...
I used to work at NAJ, it's definitely a plane I've fueled in the past. I remember talking with the pilot quite a few times. Hard to forget him as his daughter is very attractive. Poor guy. RIP. Praying for the family and friends.
Crashed Plane Found in Southwest Nebraska
Wreckage of a small plane was discovered Thursday in southwest Nebraska. Initial reports said three people died.
The crash was spotted by a utility worker shortly before 10 a.m. in a field about one mile south of the Millard Airport. Dense fog...
Back to the topic at hand, according to the AP:
Southwest jet makes emergency landing
Bird sucked into jet engine
December 29, 2005 - A Southwest Airlines jet was forced to make an emergency landing at O'Hare Airport after colliding with a bird during takeoff from Midway.
Flight 111 was on...
I was just passing on what the NTSB Chairman was stating. He stated that the specific fractures in the wing were not caused by age, that another factor lead to the fractures.
The NTSB is stating the fatigue crack is not from the age of the aircraft but involved other factors. Be it corrosion, stress of water T/O's and landings or other reasons, now the NTSB will need to focus on figuring that out.
In the meantime, Chalks has grounded their own fleet and has...
Is that photo after impacting the water or is that the smoke trailing the plane as it was crashing?
Once again, air2mud, my thoughts and prayers with everyone associated with this accident.
Aeronautic, how about a little bit of sympathy in your posts?! Don't you think your tone and comments are a little out of line?!
Anyway, one of the SAR team members that was diving stated that they had pulled an adult, a 7-year old girl and a baby out of the wreckage alive but unconscious...
I just saw that, fire chief is reporting survivors, CG is reporting none, but they are still 'looking for survivors.' Hopefully the fire chief is right!
Knowing how relaible witness accounts can be :rolleyes: they are saying that multiple witnesses reported an explosion or fire on the right wing just prior to the engine or a part of the wing seperating followed by the plane losing control.
To the guys that know the pilots, I'm sorry to hear of...
If you read it carefully, the gear was initially up. The ATC guy gave the command to go around due to the gear being retracted. Insted of going around, the crew continued the approach and lowered the gear. When ATC saw the gear extend, they changed the instructions from go around to cleared...
Where do you see it mention anything about current medicals? It only states total certificates by state. Nothing about the pilots even having active medicals. (that's probably how they collect the stats, but it doesn't state that like you say.) This list includes all pilots 60+, all of which no...
