Re: New Chinese stealth fighter

I certainly hope someone in the US is still making cool secret stuff somewhere but maybe they have fully committed to drones. Makes sense to switch since even F-16s are beyond the capabilities of human physiology. I still think Canada should build a few hundred analog A-10 variants for maritime bord...

Re: rebuild the arrow petition

A modernized altered Arrow replica might make a kick ass private recreational jet. What’s the minimum cost per unit.

As for a modern fighter plane? I would suggest the Diemert Defender instead.

Re: Who should pay for the extra seat for large passengers?

Of course if I was in charge they might have some wide seats available on some flights. No reason to punish them with the regular crappy seats while charging extra. Sigh, it’ll probably never happen in my lifetime. Wait, don’t they have those, I believe it’s called business class You might be right...

Also not to bully anyone that massive but if you need to take up a second seat, you’re going to need to pay extra.

Re: Who should pay for the extra seat for large passengers?

The problem wouldn't be so bad if they haven't been shrinking the seats for as long as I've been riding on airliners. I've been the same size for the last 20 years. The seats have gotten worse. Everyone is spilling out of their seats now. It used to be that the 150 was cramped and the 737 spacious....

Re: airport lighting systems maintenance troubleshooting

Code books have always been a bit expensive. They are a bit daunting, part of apprenticeship training is “how to read and interpret the code book.” Many guys least favourite class.

I have a buddy who was out with a student in the 1990s when the club plane they were flying suffered a broken crank shaft. Glided to a field and landed. Walked to a house and borrowed the phone. Guy got his moneys worth out of that forced approach lesson. the rapidity with which a distant ATC unit w...
