Beef Of Ages posted:I dunno man, that is some Sophie's choice poo poo right there. Three hours in an RJ-145 or a CR2 and I'm picking RJ-145 in the exit row all day over anything on a CR2 ever. But if it's a CR7 or CR9 with F? Whole different ballgame. Even economy in a modernized CR7 or CR9 is a hell of a lot better than the first gen regional jets.

Pros: don't have to wire it into the avionics Cons: can't wire it into the avionics Comedy: it's almost certainly wired into the avionics anyways

One of the joys of having a kid who is old enough to watch movies is sharing your favorites with them. We got around to Airplane the other day with my soon-to-be 13 year old and aside from the obviously very dated stuff*, it holds up brilliantly, he laughed a lot. I'd forgotten the bit with the two little kids dressed and acting like adults, the boy offers the girl coffee and after she accepts, asks if she wants cream. "No, I like my coffee black, like my men." Holy poo poo. *I mean, imagine trying to explain the Howard Jarvis in the taxi joke for gently caress sake. [Pause]"Proposition 13 was a ballot initiative in California that..."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/russia-antonov-plane-pearson-ukraine-1.6939473 There are legal difficulties in Canada's seizure of that Volga-Dnepr An-124. https://www.ft.com/content/c46833d5-0935-434a-9b8d-e5f67cb69fcf Also this is a giant "insurance won't play for something" court case. [TL;DR the world's largest owner of commercial aircraft had several billion dollars in airplanes in Russia that were seized, and various insurance giants are refusing to pay.] Nebakenezzer fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Aug 18, 2023 |

That sounded pretty Australian, so I dunno if that pilot's going to get a beer, kicked out of the RAAF, or both.

It's practice for Riverfire, they had to come up with something to replace the retired f-111's dump and burn for the upcoming Riverfire festival in September. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znud9pPKciE You could feel the heat of the flames and sound reverberating in your chest when it went past, nothing else that they have tried since the retirement can hold a candle to it.

Planning a personal trip along with a group (not work related) to Seoul next summer... and find myself seriously considering bucking up for business in the Air Canada 787 for the 11 hour flight. It's about another $5K on top of the econo fare I'm a bit of a cheapskate, but god drat, but I know not having a lay flat removes any chance whatsoever of arriving in Seoul any mood but utterly miserable.

I'm a large person who cannot sleep on planes, and JFK - ICN and back were not _utterly_ miserable in a Korean 747 and A380. JFK - Warsaw was also pretty OK in a 787. You're mileage may vary, but widebodies are a lot more livable than 737 / A320 # 293840923802
