Sometimes I really hate that the last real commercial flight I was on that wasn't a goddamned puddle jumping tinnitis trigger or a military aircraft was in 1990. It was probably a 767.

I don't see "single seat" in the article, perhaps they corrected it to "single-engine". It's an unusual term if you don't know anything about airplanes, which no journalists do.

Single seat came from googling what an Acroduster was. Actually going to the Aircraft Spruce instead of just skimming the wiki page has taught me there is such a beast as the Acroduster Too, which is a two seater, so my initial concern is probably wrong.

Yeah, there's a few tandem seaters on GIS. Looks like a lot of fun. But I bet it has the engine-out glide performance of an oil drum.

At least third, a flight attendant survived a mid air breakup. Guinness has the line right, but the journalist doesn't. Its the first planned jump.

C.M. Kruger posted:Google indicates the Deutsche Marine F-104Gs first carried the French-made AS-30, a Bullpup style MCLOS missile Ah, yes. Your pilot's flying at low altitude, in an F-104, and you give him a missile that requires him to visually observe both the missile and his target, control the missile with a little joystick, and fly his plane all at the same time. Forget about Lockheed's prostitutes, the German navy must have hated its pilots and wanted them all to die.
