Comments say that it’s Delta’s FA training facility and everyone in the video is a FA instructor. I wonder if they’re doing “wild poo poo passengers have done” skits for training videos and this is just the funniest.

Lady that’s helping build it is barefoot though so either she’s an unruly passenger or she’s very committed to the bit

They appear to have no lack of employees that want to commit to bits.

So I found out you can get a 10 year loan on a used airplane 1) what's the oldest plane you can buy on a note? For most boats it's 20 years although there's sometimes specialty lenders. FAA has really strict licensing, inspection and maintenance requirements so I'm guessing you might be able to buy something as old as 50 years on a note assuming it's got some kind of current air worthiness certificate? 2) what's the sweet spot airplane to buy for a family of four going from the bay area to Tahoe once a month, with low price vs capability. I guess Cessna is super popular which probably drives down total cost of ownership. Looks like a bunch of sites break down monthly total cost but it's hard to figure out which meets those needs

four people + operating at tahoe i would say means minimally a 182 for safety. and you'd still be pushing it with a family's worth of baggage and/or summer ops

Oof. That really sounds like it needs a 206 and those seem to be like $250k min. It looks like O-540 overhauls are $70k too so throw in one of those too because the ones on controller I saw round there need one soon.

I don’t know why they would accept a 1974 Mooney but a 1938 Piper Cub is just a bridge too far.

Ok so basically 250k for a Cessna 206 which is basically the Toyota Camry of airplanes. Ok thanksPlatystemon posted:I don’t know why they would accept a 1974 Mooney but a 1938 Piper Cub is just a bridge too far. I think I understand this joke, but also, looks like it seats max two?

"what is the cheapest, oldest plane i can buy" really feels like going at this in the wrong order, not gonna liePT6A posted:But Psion, we imagine based on absolutely no evidence, that our visitors demand parallax scroll sections! And if you know a better way to do it than all of jQuery plus 6 additional poorly maintained add-ons, I'd like to hear it! React and 25 poorly maintained addons, of course. with 350 dev dependencies. I did once work on a site which loaded jquery twice (two versions) and that wasn't even the worst of our performance issues so it never got fixed. Perhaps not even to this day, I refuse to check.
