Not replying directly to you, except the "excuse anything" part: It's a funny idea that you owe your opponent in a war a "fighting chance", when in fact the exact OPPOSITE is true. You, in fact, owe your own soldier

Unfortunately congress did vote. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Milit... They didn't declare war, which is unfortunate but congress did approve.

Could have been really crappy weather and a very turbulent flight. I'm not sure I would be able to tell the difference between 2.5g and some of the severe jolts I've been in.

Huh, given the steep dive, and equivalently steep climb-out, I wonder if they got hit by a microburst?

No, that's not true. Not following the rules strictly around duty time is a great way to have the FAA up your ass.

The increased risk people are talking about have been demonstrated in the form of crashed airliners. The entire rubric of reporting deviations early and often was developed as it was identified as a major cause of crashes in the 60s, 70s, 8

It's in the wikipedia article, but just want to call something out: That particular airframe 367-80 is in the Air and Space Udvar-Hazy museum at Dulles. It is gorgeous. The 747s first airframe is at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, and

Flip that around. In a very real sense the criminal either chose to dehumanize his victims, or ignore the suffering he was causing (arguably worse). "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Also, some people are just s

This is great! Expect the EPA and the FAA to finally ban 100LL, which will be a great boon for everyone. Note, you will require an STC, but not poising yourself with lead will probably net out the costs in the long run. * I am a pilot of pi
