Re: Lawyer claimed accident victims shared blame

Wow.

There are not many times that I have found myself speechless, but this is one of them.

Gotta give the lawyer 100% for creativity though.

Re: Transport Canada decision led to deadly crash: safety board

Transport Canada has become the biggest single threat to aviation and those who work in aviation that we have ever experienced. Market and financial trends are cyclical but TC's brutalizing of the industry through incompetent and corrupt management just gets worse as time passes. Animals is probabl...

Good Su-27 Flanker video clip

This is a pretty good clip. 7:30mins total. Camera work and audio are pretty good. It does the Cobra manoeuvre at about the 3:18min mark. Would love to see one of these perform in person.
