Powercube posted:Holy poo poo, those are fantastic! Any more Buffalo stuff to share? I dont think so, they have a handfull of 215s, we got whatever one happened to be ready to go on that day. The footage isnt for Ice Pilots, its another project, and the planes will be digitally repainted so I don't feel too guilty about posting those. The DC3 is the only actually Buffalo branded plane we shot.

I fly in helicopters a lot, 4 of us in the cabin sitting right next to the instruments all with cellphones on, and using them, never seen the instruments be effected. Or my iPad on wireless sitting in my backpack next to me, or my laptop powered on between the seats....

I spent 2 years cutting carbon fiber hockey sticks with a hacksaw, and running the edges on a grinder to smooth them out, does that mean I'm going to die?

Porter is awesome, I've only flown them once from Toronto to Boston for work (I live in Vancouver) but it was as nice a flight as you can get in a Q400. Their terminal on the island is nice, its like a first class lounge that everyone gets access too. More competition in Canada can only be a good thing.

mustard_tiger posted:I know this is a stupid question, but did the drone land on the aircraft carrier after? I remember a saw a post earlier of a test with an arresting hook that proved it could be done. At the end of the video theres a shot of the drone landing on land. I'm sure they'll work up gradually to landing on the carrier, it might even be hand flown down to a carrier.

MrChips posted:I guess I could consider myself fortunate, as we still get a smattering of 737 "Jurassic" traffic here at YYC, but nothing like it was 10 years ago when Westjet still had dozens of them. The northern airlines still use them, like First Air, Canadian North, and Air North, but holy poo poo they are loud, like cover your ears when they taxi by loud.

StandardVC10 posted:San Bernardino International Airport is this weird almost completely unused facility surrounded by grocery store warehouses. I went there yesterday to see the 747-8i Boeing is doing testing on out there That place is pretty funny, we worked on a AA commercial there a few months ago, and it was empty, I was hanigng out in the massive super nice FBO that had no traffic at all the whole weekend we were there.

azflyboy posted:I have a family member who has spent a long time dealing with ITAR (as it applies to spacecraft), and they've just learned to deal with the stupidity. In one case, a foreign grad student did a lot of work on developing a scientific instrument, but was banned from seeing any data generated by said instrument because of ITAR. Horray for ITAR, we own 2 camera systems that have a controlled IMU, therefor we have to be ITAR certified and also go through the Controlled Goods Directorate inspection to be able to house the things in Canada.

azflyboy posted:There's at least one still flying around in the US, although I have no idea how the owners can afford to keep running it. Since even the later Jetstar models are running 1970's vintage engines, they'll typically burn through a bit more than twice as much fuel for a given flight as a modern Learjet, and I'm sure parts are getting to be pretty expensive as well. Theres one at Atlantic at Midway in Chicago. I have to stop and peek into the hangar every time I'm there.

 Pre WW2 airport, that neighbourhood has been around for about 5 years, and they are still trying to get the airport shut down. Also at YVR there is a neighbourhood called Burkeville that is in between the two runways, I'd seriously consider a place there because I work out of the airport or fly out so much.

OptimusMatrix posted:Have a video of the "Jetman" formation flying with a B-17. he starts flying about a minute in. I'd give anything to be this guy. Hey thats my camera. Bit of a funny deal, the FAA seemed to be doing everything possible to scuttle his flight at the airshow. Going as far as saying that he needed to get his multi rating, he asked them who was going to give him the check ride.

parrhesia posted:Berlin Brandenburg will open roughly when Berlin as a state isn't poorer than Germany on average. So never. I go from YVR to LAX on a regular basis, its night and day different. I wish they would bulldoze LAX and start again. Separating airlines by terminals and having no train line connecting them is terrible, getting in and out of the airport is terrible, most of the terminals are terrible. Heaven help you if you are flying out of Terminal 1, the check in lines and the security lines often stretch out the door and down the street its so bad.

Mobius1B7R posted:Absolutely incredible air to air from a Lear of many different types of planes. Love when the F-15s go burner and pull away. I work with these guys sometimes, they run a pretty cool setup. Some of the shots look CG due to the stability of the shots, rare to see fully stable shots of stuff in motion and not having anything to compare the speed or movement to makes it seem 'off'  Here's the flightpath of the brand new AA 777 we shot for a commercial introducing the "New AA"

invision posted:Not mil, I'm doing it through the local college (and hillsboro aviation if that means anything) Its a lot easier and cheaper to learn airmanship in fixed wing then when you are learning to fly helis then you can just concentrate on flying that, not trying to learn how to fly in general.

Think its a P-8. What made it stand out on the lineup (besides the grey paint) was the lack of winglets.

Koesj posted:Is this really a big thing for you? I can think of a number of way bigger influences on my intercontinental comforts over the years, airline and load factor in general, stressful connections in places like CDG or FRA specifically, and having a full day shaved off of a NY trip by a broken Delta plane representing absolute rock bottom. I dont really care, they are just more comfortable. Plus I'm usually in business for international travel so...
