    Less than a week after the E190 "accident", now a B738 has a tragic runway excursion. Jeju Air 2216, VTBS-RKJB, 181 souls on board, only two confirmed alive. Peace for the souls of the ones who didn't make it 🙏🏻 Link: https://avherald.com/h?article=52225189&opt=0 There are some videos available with disturbing images. Please understand if I don't post them here.

    I was amused when Sabine said... "I have no idea what gravitic propulsion is and I'm a theoretical physicist that's been working on gravity for 20 years." 😁

  8. Cool: New "Control Tower Mode" On United Airlines - Live and Let's Fly Now, next they could incorporate "flightsim mode" in the IFE screens and let the simmers aboard interact with a virtual cockpit, having a "ghost mode" where the actions by the crew are visible, just for comparison because we simmers do it better !!! And... why not a deal with MS and get it all reproduced IRL using FS 2024?

    Watching the fire tragedy in California the past days the avgeek in me can only sit in awe of the videos of the great number of transport aircraft converted to this mission and the skill of the crews that fly them. I’ve seen everything from a DC9, a DC10, C130 helicopters and various others like a converted P3 and the venerable Super Scooper. And those pilots flying a heavy jet transport full of retardants into a valley at slow speed with the turbulence from the mountains and updrafts from the fire. I mean which came first, skill or guts? The only thing I’ve seen compatible was watching crop dusting in Louisiana flying under wires and charging toward trees at the end of a…

    Today, my wife and I are flying to Lithuania, Lativia, and Estonia. Really looking forward to it. Lufthansa from KEWR to Frankfurt, and then on to Lithuania. The Baltic States are in the news a lot lately, so it should be quite interesting for us to be there in person. We have traveled extensively in Europe, and we did get to Gdansk, Poland a few years back, so we were close to the Baltic Sea. We've traveled to Munich (Octoberfest), Berlin, Warsaw, Krakow, Bulgaria, Romania, Ireland, UK, South Africa, Italy, and many trips within the United States. Being retired now makes it so much easier. I still look forward to reading the forum on my iPad over there, but I'l…

    At the worlds largest Lithium battery storage facility in Monterey. Small hobby lith batteries in the home are normally put out by smothering them, for instance covering with sand. I don't know how to put out a giant warehouse full.
