NightGyr posted:It was a pilot and six passengers who had paid for a "door open" flight to take pictures for social media. They were all strapped into harnesses meant to keep them from falling out without quick releases or knives to cut themselves loose. So when there was a water landing, only the pilot made it out. Reason #239 to carry a pocket knife!

It’s NYC, so they’d stop and frisk and charge you with having a gravity-assisted knife.

In the event of a water landing, retrieving the knife from your rectum prior to drowning may prove difficult. Anyone who wears a harness close to water should have a knife on them.

Hermsgervørden posted:This is a speedboat, right? Some sort of rules lawyering race insanity? Judging from the lack of a prefix on the reg, which means it's an Unlicensed Identification Mark in 1920s-30s CAA parlance, and what a quick Google turned up about the boat name, this is still at the tail end of the barnstorming era, where there were probably still too few CAA people around to catch every nutter in a surplus Standard or Jenny flounting the rules as such. Edit: Aerofiles turns up 10160 as a 'Collins Waterplane Glider', so points to Painterofcrap Further edit: https://www.mysticseaport.org/rosenfeld/2018/09/outboard-cheap-thrills/ Plastic_Gargoyle fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Sep 28, 2019 |

Military aircraft will show up if they have their transponder on for whatever reason. I have no idea what that reason would be over syria.

This gets a little repetitive (and preemptive sound warning), but how often do you 1) see F-16s wearing D-Day stripes, and 2) have three F-16s loving around being filmed out the rear door of a cargo plane? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9Q5R9oBrmo

But it's beautiful footage. And the plane is so cute with the gear down.

Is Boeing hiring Russian trolls? I went to see what the twitter response to the 737 NG fiasco and saw this post copied verbetum by several different posters. https://twitter.com/sublunarymire/status/1177970643922497537?s=19 Edit: I meant that as a joke but turns out the people who posted yaaa, yaaa have different join dates but identical twitter timelines. Weird. https://twitter.com/Flightribe/status/1177970957891375104?s=19 https://twitter.com/skyd00s/status/1177971061696188420?s=19 RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Sep 28, 2019 |
