Cat celebrating Halloween by telling a scary story:

For example, what happens if you miss your wheels up time? On FlightRadar24 and LiveATC, I was following an Emirates A380 taxying to runway 23 at CYYZ for takeoff when a Jazz Embraer 175 came up behind it and was directed to a parallel taxiway so that it could go ahead of the A380 in order to meet its wheels up time.

The War Thunder engine has apparently just been open sourced...... https://gamefromscratch.com/warthunder-game-engine-dagor-engine-open-sourced/

Made me grin like a foo'

Not Norman, but in pretty much every single-engined GA plane I’ve used in pretty much every sim, the nose pitches up when throttle is reduced. Is this realistic and if so, why?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67258915 Storm Ciaran. 75 MPH storm force winds where I am, for Thursday. Parts of the UK are poised for heavy rain and flooding over the next few days ahead of the arrival of Storm Ciarán. Flood warnings are in place across parts of England, Scotland and Wales, and there are also amber rain warnings in Northern Ireland. Ciarán is set to bring strong winds and heavy rain to southern England and Wales when it arrives on Thursday. It comes after a number of areas in the UK faced flooding at the weekend.

Yikes! 😒

In case anyone is interested, YouTube have aggressively introduce some JavaScript that goes about detecting if you have an ad-blocker installed and if it finds one will not display the video. This violates GDPR laws/regulations - Article 5(1) - along with several other country establish privacy rules.

Checked this out and thought it was pretty cool and worth sharing, as it's a nice update for NOAA. Nice spiffy visualization (click on that-there map) with METAR and wind barbs n'such. Even shows the weather up there in Canadana eh! https://aviationweather.gov/

This gives an insight into the complex interaction and task sharing as undertaken in a modern complex airliner. Tighten seatbelts and hang on .... Cheers Karol

By cleverly changing the name of their chicken sandwiches, McDonalds is selling a lot more. Even in Saudi Arabia. Because of the sand which is there.

The Flightimmer version of a Halloween horror story......

One of my favorite places to fly in MSFS is New York, and I'm often impressed at the "Realism" of the visuals/photogrammetry as my memories of the city seem to come to life via the games stunning modern graphics. Then I see something like this, and am brought to ground with a thud by what a long way we actually still have to go, to recreate anything close to the incredible detail of the real world in our sims/games.... Maybe one day......

In my neck of the woods we have torrential rain and thunder and lightning at the moment. Nothing like the issues in Ireland and Scotland through.

"These are huge returns!" "Never seen anything like this, not even when I'm doing storms!" "Green and red lights, not like a plane, they come together and then separate and then keep doing this" 100 witnesses.

Any suggestions as to which is better to buy - BAE 146 or Fokker F28? Thank

Off-duty pilot charged with 83 counts of attempted murder for allegedly trying to shut off engines on Alaska Airlines flight - ABC News (go.com) Kinda nuts, wonder if this will affect all cockpit access to jumpseaters in the future. And wow, 80 some counts of attempted murder. jeff

Good grief, I've only just come across this. 1400 cars destroyed. A vehicle fault has been blamed but they have arrested a man, so not sure what that's all about. Structural engineers are attempting to determine if it required demolition.

Welcome to the real world, kid: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/viral-tiktok-college-graduate-9-to-5-job-b2435504.html I was shocked on my first day at my first 9 to 5 job as well. After the first day, I came home planning to watch Monday Night Football, which started at 6:00 PM. I was home in time to watch the beginning, but by 6:15, I was asleep in the armchair 🤣😆🤪.

Shocks the pants off them when a skinny guy is stronger than them. I like the way, after the deadlift, he askes the big guy if he's using fake weights. 😁
