Just saw this on TV, interesting history of cats:

These 4 free PDF books were highlighted in my Sep-Oct 2024 edition of Flying Australia. They are great & I recommend them to all pilots & simmers. Get them here:http://flybetter.com.au Cheers, Frank. (Franks MS Flight Sim https://youtube.com/@franksmsflightsimulator?si=2jAT9pW8gmIyBvND)

So do I. I started reading it in the early 1970s when I was in high school. One of the things I enjoyed was the work of Bruce McCall (who passed away in 2023). These are a few of the works that stuck with me about cars (I love the name Bulgemobile)🤣 He also did a series called Forgotten Warbirds of WWII. Here are a few:

I have found this very interesting video, recommend to watch. DDD3: Boeing 727 – Part 1: Cool Engineering Ideas on this Trijet Pioneer (youtube.com)

I'm just wondering why I get so many "503" errors trying to get on this site. It's down more frequently than any other site I visit. Is it being hacked all the time? Just curious.

I always loved Gary Larson's cartoons! Wonder if anything like this goes on at the SpaceX Assembly Building or Boeing Starliner?

Well, they're over. I must say I quite enjoyed them. The last game, the women's basketball game for the gold, was an official nail biter. To win by one point is the very slimmest of margins. To my mind both teams should have won gold but, of course, only one can win. A stellar performance by both teams. The closing ceremonies show was one of the most amazing displays I've ever seen. Quite a performance and light show. I don't pretend to know all of the symbolism but I was quite mesmerized by it all. Then I lost interest when the rock bands began to play and and 10,000 athletes in the middle of the stadium started bobbing up and down like they were at a…

Enough for a global ocean.

How many episodes and seasons before they finally hit pay dirt? We are not actually very civilized over here in America and easily amused.

Check this out, space fans.

Hi everyone, I would love to port the FSX Grumman Duck into a fully native MSFS model and release as a freeware aircraft. Does anyone have a way to contact SWingman who I believe was the original developer? Or perhaps someone else who had last taken the reins for this? Any info would be appreciated. Regards, flyndive

We have a German local legend coming, so... 1870's Franco Prussian war. Hyenas March, Disney's Lion King The Avsim pet lovers version.

Very well done F-14 just like the real deal!

WARNING! This is a tragic ending for this young man. Nothing too graphic is shown. He was live streaming his final ascent when he lost footing on the ice and essentially slid down the mountainside feet first. Note however that he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but there's no doubt that this was nothing more than poor decision making leading up to an accident, and not suicide.

Cool video of a neat aircraft!

Can they assign an air charter company sightseeing or airplane ride trips? Or are these to small for them to fiddle with them? These would be most likely dealt with directly with the air charter company?

For those of you who have lived on the SW coast and surrounding areas of BC, you might remember the two great water bombers, which were stationed in Sproat Lake, near port Alberni. They and their flight crews were formidable forest fire fighters and were fixtures in the skies of BC during fire season. They have been retired for some time, but the remaining Mars bomber today Took to the skies for one final flight to her new home, at the aviation museum at Victoria Airport. I admit that I got choked up, when she flew past my house, heading south. The snowbirds, met her south of Nanaimo and gave her an escort home.

Another evaluation was conducted by a real 777 pilot regarding issues with the PMDG 777 aircraft. Once again, individual(s) from PMDG without proper qualifications had to intervene. Many people cannot accept that something is wrong regardless of what they are told by the real pilots qualified in equipment. Hopefully, PMDG will listen! Flight model manual and automatic flight Today, 17:10 Hello I waited a bit with this post because I wanted to see which topics come up before adding to it. Iam a real world 777 pilot and want to offer some thoughts about certain topics. First of all, I like the product! Its n…

I've been watching the Olympics off and on and this morning I had a choice of watching men's half court basketball or women's volley ball. I decided on women's volleyball. I like their sports wear better. Noel
