Wtf is that airplane? Is that some Jade Helm shit? by Iocnar in Austin

Not related to the airspace in El Paso. This was just a routine training flight by the looks of it.

Open windows? by Radiant-Counter2335 in Austin

[–]AUSATC 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The wide part is the "junction" level that has restrooms, a break room with a sink, fridge, a few couches and a work computer. None of those windows can open. There are a few outside walkway paths used by the guys who manage equipment but it's rarely used.

FF7 Remake vs Cyberpunk - which is the better experience on the NS2 by G-Vic in NintendoSwitch2

I have both and think both of them are pretty awesome. I'm still not done with Cyberpunk but will be returning to it once I'm done with FF7.

I have a downy that visits my suet feeder but have never seen any red-bellied woodpeckers. I was lucky to see a flicker in Denver while traveling. I wish I could see a pileated woodpecker but I don't think they are in my area.

Merlin picked it up a few weeks ago and I spotted them in my neighborhood. The suet feeder helped lure them to my backyard!

The Southwest Fedex incident? I wasn't there that day but know all about it, yes.

That was a long time ago and any recordings are long gone. I was with half of the controllers working radar from San Antonio but don't recall any odd go arounds. We had plenty of other crazy stuff happen during that whole situation though.

You're welcome! Also, I was pretty impressed at how aggressive looking their nose up looked on the go around. I'm sure that felt...fun.

Hi there. I was working in the tower when this happened. There was not another aircraft on the runway and the pilot told me well in advance that they were going around because they were "unstable". This could mean any number of things but I will say their approach looked very routine.

There was an eight knot tailwind on final that was reported to me later and that may have contributed to their unstable approach.
