Here I was enjoying pix from a fellow pilot via a link from AS and hoping others were enjoying them also. How can this much fun turn into a pissing contest? Now you know the real reason the cockpit door is closed in flight. Best regards, RA1

The specular point is the vantage point, not the technical aspects. I appreciate the effort if not the result. Best regards, RA1

Cool. I have never ridden them but their history is interesting. Thanks. Best regards, RA1

So, pillow talk will save our nation? Best regards, RA1

One can only hope that your sixth sense is better than my fourth (smell). Best regards, RA1

I don't think there is any way to have literal strict interpretation of the Constitution + amendments. Although the closer we can come the better. The framers of same would not recognize society today (I almost don't either). Congress critters have been swayed over and over by special interest groups so why not the firearms lobby? Are you sure graft and corruption are not integral to the Constitution? Best regards, RA1

Indeed it is amazing what one can see from a cockpit. Most of these were taken from several 10 thousand feet which provides a spectacular macro view. Also interesting is much lower such as going from Los Angeles to Seattle at 1500 feet. That lightning is St. Elmo's Fire which is harmless static electricity being discharged from the aircraft. Best regards, RA1

I don't think very much of anything will happen and I am content with that. Legislating morality never has worked and it won't work this time. However, my fingers are crossed. Best regards, RA1

It is a recurring hysterical theme somewhat evidenced by the mention n the Daily News segment. Let's put it this way, if there was never another gun sold of any type nothing would change from the current situation. Therefore to change things guns eventually must be confiscated or so goes a theory. Best regards, RA1

The millenniums may indeed take over but if there is a real attempt to confiscate 300 million guns there will be sustained rioting or worse. I don't think it feasible to do so. Does everyone on this board really think that all gun owners are wild-eyed, mentally defective potential mass murderers? Best regards, RA1

Achtung! Sehr gut. Best regards, RA1

Flatulence and afflatus are not the same thing. There may be a spooky connection but it escapes me at the moment. Best regards, RA1

A divine divine impulse? Best regards, RA1

I did not realize breath could do that. Repel maybe but attract? Best regards, RA1

AS- What did you bait your breath with? Best regards, RA1

Rules are made to be broken. How else could we get controllers to let us go direct? BTW-I love sublimation. It has saved my bacon many times. To wit. If one is flying an aircraft that has no de-ice capability and one encounters icing. If one can manage to climb on top, the ice will sublimate once clear of clouds. Do this soon because weight and drag are anathema to aircraft. Best regards, RA1

Declare everything. I once delivered a plane to the Bahamas and a down payment was made in cash. ($30,000) I pre-cleared US customs in Nassau and told them I had over $5,000 on me. They took me aside and asked me why. I told them. They put me on the plane without further ado. Best regards, RA1

Mr. Interlocutor: Who was that gentleman I saw you with last night? AS: That was no gentleman, that was my husband. Best regards, RA1

Going to the other site is just a bad habit like using too much salt. Once you ignore it for enough days your desire will fade or so I propose. Best regards, RA1

Of course, but, apparently she was born that way. Best regards, RA1

As is said: You area cock sucking, baby raping, mother fucking, shit eating son of a bitch, but noting personal. Best regards, RA1

Even the wealthiest folks I know have not been everywhere. Some around here say I am the only person they know who has been to Borneo. Best regards, RA1

Quite some choice. TJ is a hero of mine but better him making that choice than me. Best regards, RA1

Why (oh I know why) does the media have to sensationalize a story? This was a simple diversion to an airport not the original destination. Cause: pax acting up. Not a threat to the plane but acts the crew thought should have the consequences reported. So far in my career, I have had no pax act up. Their captain may have on occasion. Best regards, RA1

Actually, this is not the cheapest way to experience zero G but the cheapest to experience it for any appreciable length of time. I or any pilot in a light plane can replicate the movement of the aircraft shown in the video but only for a much more limited amount of time and carefully. Most aircraft, to include the one in the video, are stressed for many fewer negative G's than positive G's. After all, it only takes one to completely counteract your body weight (mass).
