You checked the METAR 365 days this year, despite only flying 62.

Look it's literally my job okay

Figured I'd get out of the cockpit and jump in the tower and help air traffic control during their staffing crisis.

In December 1941, Pan Am flight 18602 was trapped the wrong side of the Pacific by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

To get home, her civilian crew would need to do the near-impossible: circumnavigate the world in commercial seaplane.

In our new series, we tell tell their remarkable story.

Holy crap. Space Nazi and all his de-orbiting satellites?

I'd welcome both reposts and comments, and my material is surely of interest to at least a few 'Aviation Cultures'.

And I try to regularly re-up my introductory post, so that people can see 'where I'm coming from'...

Sharing this again because it brings me something like comfort.

Why do they need to hire extra protection? Just arm themselves like they expect teachers to be?

Before I answer… Do I have to come back?

Third time's the charm. Red orb sunrise behind the Nubble Lighthouse that intercepted some clouds as it rose higher, making it look like it developed rings like Saturn for a moment. Also, note the little black dots on the sun - sunspots.

Also failure to raise gear could be the result of distraction due to emergeny, procedure to leave it down due to increase in drag during the retraction cycle or failure so bad the gear system was inop.

Obviously I/we have NO IDEA, just reiterating that fact... So many variables at play

I know little to nothing about this plane's systems, but even some of the smaller GA planes I fly have flap speed protection systems which don't allow flaps to be retracted below certain speeds.

Also the same airplanes warn you of misconfigured flap setting on takeoff...

I think they are referring to the chart “bible” that we use in training very frequently. It is an amazing PDF resource that explains every single symbol on every type of chart. This is a ridiculous move IMHO. It makes zero sense. But then again…. Ehhh whatever ….
