Air and Space Smithsonian articles on Fractionals
The latest Air and Space Smithsonian magazine had a couple of articles on fractionals. The main article primarily discussed fractional ownership in general, with a focus on NetJets. The second article included some information on Flight Options...- mzaharis

You are correct - my mistake. I had corrected it on one of the entries, but not the other. -

New Bombardier Jets
Looks like Bombardier is responding to the G650. Global 7000 -7,300 NM range at .85 ("at certain operating conditions" - their qualification), 2,637 cu. ft cabin, high speed cruise .90 Global 8000 - 7,900 NM range at .85(at certain operating conditions), 2,236-cu.ft cabin, .90 MMO... -
Bombardier working on a G650 competitor
Sorry, for some reason, I thought that the superGLEX was claiming 5000nm at .90. Only the 650 is (unless Bombardier did it in another article). But the question still stands for the Gulfstream doubters. -
Bombardier working on a G650 competitor
For the doubters - do they also believe that either aircraft won't reach 7,000NM at .85? If so, do they expect the drag rise to be so much that they can't make 5,000 NM with an extra .05 mach? I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm trying to understand the reason for the skepticism. -
Bombardier working on a G650 competitor
Similar specs - 7,000NM range, .85 cruise, larger wing, longer cabin, bigger windows, etc. Same fuselage cross section, though. http://bit.ly/9d2xyb -
Fortune magazine article on Sokal
Now I remember where I got "Sokal" on the brain - there was a physicist named Alan Sokal who played a hoax on a bunch of post-modernist "academics", submitting an intentionally nonsensical paper to a post-moderenist journal, which they still published. Made quite a splash in academia in the mid...- mzaharis

Premier down at Oshkosh
Actually, ESPN mis-reported. Although he owns P-51s (and overhauls/rebuilds Merlins), his first crash - the one that nearly killed him - was in an Air Cam ultralight. From the original Roush Racing press release in 2002: http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=11738 “That’s the... -
Premier down at Oshkosh
Jack Roush seems to have some misfortune as a pilot. This is the second major injury he's had while piloting (the first was a near-fatal injury while flying an ultralight). Sounds like his injuries are recoverable. From ESPN: "There are injuries. Possible surgery," Roush Fenway Racing... -

6-year-old boy floats away in hot-air balloon!
Apparently, USAToday got it wrong (natch). It is a helium, not hot-air, balloon, if Denver 9 got it right. http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=125161&catid=339 Best of luck to the rescuers. The boy's parents must be sh**ing bricks.- mzaharis

Hippocrates all of them.... esp. Obama
If you subscribe to the Economist magazine, here is an interesting article on the "Swedish" system - neither universally positive or negative. Points out shortcomings of the Swedish system that the Sweden-defenders tend to gloss over. http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=E1_SRRDTSP -
Hippocrates all of them.... esp. Obama
They're not senators, but I was always pleased to hear that, on the McLaughlin Group, Pat Buchanan and Eleanor Clift, despite being political polar opposites, are cordial to each other personally, and Pat helped Elanor with the loss of her husband. -
