Kinda place where you take a bus to the plane on that is at a hard stand, like some kinda dump only Easyjet and Ryanair fly into like Charleroi, or that has far more train tourism than plane tourism, like Florence.

For the record, I feel like the TKS spacecraft qualifies for aeronautical insanity given they put a door into the heat shield.

Speaking of doors, last night Saturday Night Live did what they do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZf0bNDWH4s Someone who works at Alaska tells me that everyone there is torn between laughing their heads off at this, and worrying that SNL just did to them what they did to USAir 30 years ago.

MrYenko posted:I can’t decide whether I want to fly it or pet it. It would fit in a two car garage with space to spare. You could sit there; you with your six pack, and Mechanic with his full rack, and pet it. If his hand ever starts wandering towards the screw-gun on the table between you, that's when you know you've got to keep up your end of the conversation. I remember one time, a guy came in wearing jorts and New Balance, mumbling about, "Secondary minimums.", to Mechanic while trying to sit at our table. I don't know who called the FAA on him first, me or the insurance adjuster, but we probably both saved his life.

A random question I had while watching vids about disasters involving fires on aircraft: assuming it's in the main pressurized cabin, is there ever a point where you consider depressurizing to cut the oxygen level to the fire and hopefully vent some of the smoke?

This is airplane game stuff, but I remember a livestream of a bunch of nerds with a fully functional 747 cockpit where to remove smoke from the cabin, the procedure was to drop altitude and vent the cabin itself to atmosphere.

I don't think depressurizing at altitude and triggering the oxygen masks during a fire would end well, you really just want to get back on the ground as fast as possible at least as far as passenger craft go. I don't think it would even do much for the fire at the altitudes your average airliner can reach.

Not an expert but I think the lack of oxygen means the fire smolders - it's why there was a big explosive fireball on AC 797 and, ooohhh, that airliner that burned down recently.

I'm hoping the FAA gets its teeth back from this, but betting this will get smoothed over with the purchase of a few members of Congress.
