Is flying discouraged during the first trimester of pregnancy? I've read a bit online and it seems to only be related to morning sickness, which my SO does not have. Some friends offered me a 1h flight on a 4-seat plane with a licensed pilot ("first flight" kind of thing) and I really want to take her with me. I can't think of any reason not to do this with her but maybe somebody here has some insight. We'll ask her doctor as well.

What if she falls in love with soaring through the skies and no longer loves you? Decides to abort the baby and become a pilot only to be ground into dust when she finally makes it to the big airline. 30 years later you reunite but she's different. Years of alcoholism have taken its toll. All because of that one flight. That drat flight. Is it worth the risk?

What the CarForumPoster means is, modern air travel is no more taxing on the human anatomy than travel by train or automobile, and often the je ne sais qui of flight has an invigorating effect on the soul and can be said to thus somewhat compensate for the tedium of traveling to a designated airport and related procedures in order to partake. It is a very nice experience and the major also wishes to congratulate you and your wife on your coming familial bliss. ThisIsJohnWayne fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Feb 8, 2022 |

The only think I could think of is the fuel fumes being a touch strong for her sense of smell as it’s a good bit more sensitive during the early trimesters.

I wouldn’t let a pregnant woman sit near a pilot. As we all know, they are so viril that he might retroactively father the baby.

Might also want to make sure the pilot isn't Jerry in Groucho Marx glasses.

Also, what's this persons credentials? Anyone can get a pilots license, but are they a real pilot? How many EAA and AOPA bumper stickers do they have? Do they have a vanity license plate that's just the tail number of their airplane? How often do they say "roger" or "niner" in normal conversation? These are real indicators of just how much "pilot" they really are!

1 hour should be fine. I wouldn't make a habit of it, though, because the longer she spends in the air, the greater the chance the baby will be born wearing a tiny leather jacket and aviator glasses

Real talk: does your wife get motion sickness? That’d be the only reason I wouldn’t. My wife and I were on a full flight from Philly to Raleigh and were seated next to a couple that had not showered in days and wore no deodorant. She was in her first trimester with our first. She puked the entire flight, much to the distress of the stinky couple.

My dog goes bananas if she even hears the engine of an amazon van, I can't imagine what she'd do if there were drones dropping stuff off in the backyard. Probably have a pile of drone trophies.

There's some prime  material in here, not the least of which is the medical delivery service in Rwanda being the only ones to succeed because they asked the incredibly difficult question "is there a situation where drone delivery might actually make sense?"

I guess the uncomfortable answer to lot of drone delivery enthusiasts is that an Amazon delivery van with a good fuel economy engine or an electric drive is actually an extremely efficient way to distribute deliveries into a geographical area that has some set amount of packages over a zero amount.

Australia is priced with the assumption that it’s the last place you’ll visit (because the wildlife will kill you) and you can’t take it with you so…

For real we had Wing (google's drone delivery startup) in the city I used to live in. I never got to use it because I was living in the wrong suburb, they weren't allowed to fly the drones over major roads. Seemed like it worked for buying small things like Coffees and burritos.

quote:A Jetblue Airbus A320-200, registration N760JB performing flight B6-1748 from Hayden,CO to Fort Lauderdale,FL (USA), was departing Hayden's runway 10 at 11:57L (18:57Z) when the aircraft's tail contacted the runway surface. The aircraft continued a normal departure and climbed to FL310, when Denver Center forwarded a message to the crew stating they had a tail strike on the departure runway. The crew subsequently decided to divert to Denver,CO (USA) where the aircraft landed on runway 35R without further incident about 45 minutes after departure from Hayden. There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained substantial damage however. https://avherald.com/h?article=4f3b0864

Random but the F/A-18 has always been one of my favorite aircraft. I saw the Blue Angels fly at a young age and seeing one of these jets tear open the sky overhead then pull what might as well be a square turn blew my mind as a 10 year old in 1996. Independence Day had just come out, and Jetfighter III was just around the corner. F-18s kicked rear end. Anyway post your favorite aerodynamic gently caress ups

I feel like the last time I flew into Yampa Valley, it was only served by a flight from Denver. It felt like urbex if you arrived more than an hour early for your flight.

PainterofCrap posted:That sounds horrible...but, paybacks are a bitch. In 2017 I flew back home from Melbourne (16 hours). I was hanging out in the LAX Alaska lounge when I got an alert that my final flight to Seattle was cancelled. An additional 16 hours of stewing in the lounge later, I finally made it on to an American flight up to SEA. I kept my arms welded to my sides to try limiting the stink I was inflicting. Ever since then, I keep a stick of deodorant in my backpack when flying.
