Amongst the usual bitching/complaining one reads and hears about abysmal airline service, there is a positive tale. My medical research scientist Dr daughter headed over to Europe with kids and partner for a conference in Brussels and they took the inaugural WJ YHZ to CDG as part of the excursion an...

I love reading the title of the post thinking "mmhh thats interesting, lets see what EU airlines people like", to just jump to the end of the thread and people talking about Tanks and army. Surreal :lol: This place is like a case study in high-functioning, aviation-flavored ADHD. One minute it’s “f...

If I may chime in….. it would appear to me your heart isn’t into it at this point in time mainly due to issues you outlined and perhaps other issues that you prefer to keep to yourself . Certainly understandable to say the least however if this close why not bite the bullet and finished it up. You w...

I think an Allende (Chilean socialist) slogan was a glass of milk a day for every child... He nationalised the economy, investment fled, unemployment soared, people were hardup... it was a depression. That opened the door for a coup and nearly 20 years of a military junta... It honestly wouldn't su...

Gonna be cruising past three quarters of a century soonest. Two very important life lessons as I see it and experience has proven that: 1. As the years run too short and the days too fast, some point along the way you WILL BE taken advantage of by a situation or person. 2. Look out for number ONE, n...

I calculate a station pressure for the start of every accident sequence involving similar types of HWC oscillation as described (ie tsb data given yesterday) and sure enough here at 153agl is 1008hPa again, as i have found over time is quite reliably the case in like narratives of the past. Still h...

Sure easy to tell who the retired boomers commenting here are. Millions of boomers couldn’t care less what they do to their children or grandchildren. Hate to pick on them but their reputation as the most selfish generation in history is more than well earned. Ohhhh….. I struck a nerve in a common-...

Indeed

Turnip-Top and his wacky administration will implode in a couple of years. There will be version 2.0 of “ Woodward & Bernstein + Deep Throat” because Turnip-Top’s “ plumbers” will be rather inept in plugging the many leaks. It will be fun to watch.

Tolip you are entitled to your views/opinion/suspicion or whatever. I stand by my statement, that’s all I am going to say.

Suspicious. There's absolutely nothing suspicious about a family that doesn't want to be confronted by all the garbage the internet will associate with her name in the aftermath of this high profile crash. When your direftly involved in the deaths of 67 people, you dont just get to choose anonymity...

On X, there is chatter #AA5342, unfortunately and predictable conspiracy theory nutbars are there. Flight crew have been identified and US elite FS group names as well. A horrific terrible tragic accident.

Who's been bombing those rocks?

Ya would be surprised what lurks in and around the “ rock”, only the “ shadow “ knows for sure.

Perhaps I can come out of retirement after a 46 yr absence.........

By 1/4 final the GS surged ahead of AS here, while AS was already being managed higher intentionally, and probably gains 5kts more AS inadvertently while adhering to g-slope throughout the decreased performance shearing (increasing speed) encounter. It seems the creep-up to higher energy is very su...

Drop into Gander(YQX), place is full of aviation history. There is the North Atlantic Aviation Museum, rich in history. Also the Gander Heritage Trail on north side of airport, it has displays on that area from WW2 mostly structures, think the old radio range site is there as well.

At the 120kts & 109kts groundspeed you still have potential for 15kts gusting given in the current metar at the time, which means component right on the beak raising airspeed to 135 kts & 124 kts respectively. Coming up on the runway however (maybe different story?) could be the airspeed still slow...

On a more somber note, 12 yrs today the Sandy Hook CT killings of 26 elementary school kids and teachers, lives taken with an automatic weapon. One thought the US gun culture would be looked at seriously instead of “ thoughts and prayers”. However, I digress, the US of A doesn’t interest me in the l...

What a load of useless drivel, class one utter nonsense. Canada is no more going to become the 51st state in the next four years than California, British Columbia, and Oregon are going to break away and become Cascadia. 2025 is shaping up to be the best year yet on this site for the entertainment va...

Similar threats were directed our way 1967/68, we were told to get with it or else. Turbulent times no doubt on their front but we shrugged it off.

All markets are up due to Trump win. And they'll go down, too. Remember Trump's dumb tweet about the DJIA "crashing through 30,000?" It went through 30,000 in multiple directions several more times during his presidency. Let me chime in on this thread drift. I wager Trump will have a “1974 Nixon” s...

By the continuance of this sub forum and the associated conspiracy, anti- science tirades, it suggests the owner here is in support of what is being posted and more to the point, a reflection of site owner/administration. I rest my case.

Did a few of those myself when the gales of November come slashing in YYT during my other life.

This conspiracy theorist sub forum should be shut down and locked out. It is getting quite silly and unworthy of an Aviation site that wants to be taken seriously.
