   The wings of an airplane in level flight direct air downward with a force equal to the airplane's weight. If one were to build a large scale on the ground, as an airplane flies over it, the scale would register the weight of the airpla

    Pilot here. I'm floored that a person with no flying experience could put this airplane down without a scratch. Air traffic controllers are not necessarily pilots, but luckily, this one was a pilot and certified instructor. ATC and pas

    If he represented himself as an engineer or engineering expert in a legal proceeding, well, that’s where he may have made a mis-step. Even if it’s on behalf of his son. Maybe, he should have prefaced every sentence with IANAE, but…

    Citi accidentally transferred the very real risk of default from the creditor to themselves. Revlon bonds trading at 42 cents on the dollar... So, you could say that Citi is out 58% of $500M today. Edit: The 'creditor' in this cas
