I'm not saying this jet should have, but if someone did notice...

https://www.curacaochronicle.com/aviation/email-from-a-united-crew-holding-short-of-the-runway-as-the-asiana-b-777-approached/ This got me thinking, and I'm not trying to put any blame on any of the airplanes holding short, but how out-of-whack would it be for one of the jet on the ground to key up the mic and give a "On final go around!" call? Would the plane on final even go around? All those Mk 1 eyeballs on the ground have enough experience to see an unsafe situation developing...

I didn't believe the hype of the "Best Thread on BO" I stand erected...I mean corrected...whatever

Sorry for the delayed response. I derive my sense of absolute right and wrong from the idea that I want to leave this planet better than when I showed up. I want everyone to be happy doing their own thing as long as it doesn't harm others. I don't do this because I feel like if I don't I'm not gunna get into heaven, I do it because I learned in kindergarten not to hurt people, lie, steal, or be an asshole, I learned it in baseball, team work, competitiveness with rules, working towards a common goal. I didn't learn it from the bible. I learned it from my parents who didn't push religion on me. I'm a good person because I want this place to not suck. I believe in baseball.

Getting nature lessons from someone who uses the bible to define their entire life, and expect that from others who might not feel the same way is pretty comical. (Creationism vs science segway that I'm too drunk and lazy to continue with...you get the point)

This thread makes me very happy.

I love this.

Sweet lincoln's mullet

this was the anchorman trailer in theaters, way better. "It's time to do it again, but this time, I'm on top."

It'd be the coolest looking thing around, and probably not even get off the ground. Thats why I let the engineers figure that stuff out.

without the media blowing this thing out of proportion, if I'm the guy flying the Embraer in that airspace, full of pax, with helicopters all over the place, and there is any doubt about who is doing what, who cares if I go around? Easy to justify to the boss cause it's safety, and hell you get some more hand flying out of it, which might still matter to the civilian types. I'm going around. edit cause i don't spell good.

Everybody is hating on Pain and Gain, but I thought the dark comedy was pretty damn funny.

How about we don't turn this into a discussion on policies and procedures regarding notifications and remember the 4 heroes we lost . :beer: :beer: Hmmm Hmmm

I have the iPad Mini with ForeFlight and a BadElf GPS receiver which is a pretty cool wireless puck you can throw anywhere. I'm a huge fan, long battery life, very accurate position, and easily sync-able with all the other apple crap I've accumulated.

Listen, we just have to be ready for more high jinks.

Still plenty of shenanigans in Africa and some drug tomfoolery in South America.

If one wanted to get in on this early, how do you think one would do such a thing?

And the rest is in doubt 'cause he never pulled out. One of the best lyrics around.

Had the pleasure of meeting this guy, 94 year old Navy LCDR who rescued JFK after his dinghy sunk. Super funny, great story teller, and this book was a damn good read. Tells about how poor his family was in the depression then his trips out trying to sink Jap destroyers in a damn wooden boat. https://www.amazon.com/Water-In-My-Veins-President/dp/0557025206
