I love this statement in the Telegraph article from the link above:
"Mr Powers dumped the Dash 8-100 plane's remaining fuel while circling the airport, two hours after departing Philadelphia,...
I think you're confusing pitch attitude with angle of attack...definitely apples and oranges. The pitch attitude would differ depending on weight--the heavier the airplane the lower the pitch...
In that situation, your rear-end would be the LEAST of your worries. You would be just happier than hell to have the opportunity to clean out that seat cushion and throw away your underwear.
My...
At the same altitude that is. It is perfectly legal (and quite often happens) for aircraft to pass directly over/under with 1,000 foot separation. To someone not used to seeing them at that...
Can't wait til I have an ORD layover at the airport hotel when I'm carrying my camera. I've got a couple of spots in mind to shoot from, and I'll make sure to try and get some from inside the...
Lessee... at 5 grand for 8 minutes. That's about $625/minute. For me? About five hundred bucks.... :smile::smile::smile:
I'm interested in seeing where the Braniff Lockheed Electra went down near Buffalo, TX. Not much hiking involved and I'm sure all the debris is long gone, but I'd be interested in seeing the site. ...
Wow! And speaking of accidents, I believe today is the anniversary of the Tenerife accident...
Honestly, I don't know if they will or not. My suggestion would be to contact someone at the local NTSB office and/or FAA office and ask if it's been released. Let them know you were involved and...
Well, I had to find something to do after the lady who owned the brothel discovered I wasn't really a piano player...
Honestly, I was extremely lucky to have a dad who was in the business. Dad...
You're right...they do! I'll be interested to see one up close... I have the impression UAL will replace the winglets on all the airplanes with the new ones.
Ah...but never fear. We poor Boeing pukes are not satisfied with mere oceanic-sounding "sharklets". We will soon be sporting extra-terrestrial sounding "split scimitar" winglets!

Cellphones off is in our manual..but not our checklist. And yes... (theoretically of course... :smile:) I might have accidentally left my cellphone on after we pushed back. But I've never used it...
Though I've been taking pictures as a pilot for over 30 years, when it comes to spotting and taking pictures I'm a relative newbie. Having said that, I'm going to throw out my two-cents worth and...
The B-29 has some "issues"... It might be an interesting place to stay and photograph at night.

I messaged back and forth on one of the forums with a controller from Newark Tower. If I can find his name, I'll pass it along to you--he should be able to answer your question.
For some good...
INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!! I remember reading the National Geographic article about Cole Palen and the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. It's definitely on my list of places to go now.
I'd love to know the conversation behind the scenes in the cop car when they get one of these calls. It's probably something on the order of: "here we go again... Probably just a guy with a camera,...
Dad sent me a link to this video and I thought I'd post it here. It's a little long, but it gives an excellent cockpit view of and from a Lufthansa A-380 during approach and landing at San...
Very nice! I'm going to have to put that on my "to-do" list. Another interesting old bird is the Martin 404 on what used to be Junior Burchinal's airport just outside of Paris, TX.
Excellent shots! We sure had two beautiful days for the airshow. When did you go? I was there with my son on Saturday.
Quite the opposite. You sink down into that stuff and you'll stop in nothing flat. My concern would be damaging the gear...
I remember three limitation numbers from a previous airplane: 1/2"...
Beautiful shots. I love flying up to ANC; I'll be changing airplanes in the next few months and I sure hope I can continue to get up there...
I agree with everything you say. It sounds like they lost part of the anti-ice system and didn't want to take the airplane into icing conditions. Diverting to MCO was quite a bit out of the way but...
