Ban all wings!

Sigh... we need to bring back the "good old days" when real pilots could find their way across any ocean just by following landmarks.

So is this:

How distracted do you have to be to not notice a what... 80-degree bank angle? I'm pretty sure "Keep the blue side on the right" is not a thing.

But isn't that how it really is anyway? You get on an airliner, and by the time a couple of hours has passed, you feel dead even though technically you're not.

Official records confirmed that the airplane descended at a speed of 1 knot in the moments previous to landing, with the barometric altitude already at zero, according to the real-time monitoring.

Well that's clearly knot right!

Clearly what they need are Schrödinger's winglets... that are there, and simultaneously not there.

Oh gawd. Someone watched the "Top Gear" episodes on the Reliant Robin and asked themselves "Why doesn't anyone build a car like that today?" then went and did it.

We're all doomed.

OMG I'd forgotten about AD.com! It died as a result of a crash, right? I totally miss the place but if we're going to lose an aviation website that seems like the "right" way.

What was AD.info before it was this?

What, any speed > 0 and not airborne isn't a V1 cut?

First how they manage to get from a ramp area to the runway without them hitting anything (and no wing walkers!). And second, as the plane acce...

Also saw this funny note in the comments:

It'll be interesting tonight to watch on the news the pax accounts of how they feared for their lives as the plane spiraled out of control from 35K feet.

Well that took quite a turn!

Are they trying to imply that delays due to pilots having issues with equipment cause hijackings?

I'm confused... when does the cowboy monkey improvisation come in?

Thank you, Monchie

This!

Did we have a thread about this one? I searched and couldn't find one. https://www.news-press.com/story/news/l ... 041100007/

Seems that article has a typo: they forgot to put quotes around the word "landing".
