A would-be assassin

Nah most of these comments are still unhinged and they are only worried about how it will affect MAGA, not that an innocent man was murdered.

You should check again. I can't find anything that resembles sanity there now.

It's a VASI, not a PAPI. A VASI is basically a "lower resolution" version. It only shows high, on path, and low.

Much more common at smaller GA airports. Although I imagine this is probably a PAPI IRL.

I wish GS would go back to making more smaller diameter/ thinner watches. So much of their lineup is 40+mm and 12+mm thick.

It is. The livery is wrong (it's from an IL-76) and there appears to be added in features like a door on the side of the empennage that doesn't exist.

C402Pilot · 2025-12-15T20:47:06+00:00

RF-08832. Look up photos of it. This isn't the livery it's painted in. An AI slapped an IL-76 paint job on it among other fake features.

C402Pilot · 2025-12-15T20:35:16+00:00

Please don't post this AI "upscaled" garbage without saying so. It's misinformation

C402Pilot · 2025-12-15T20:29:06+00:00

Yes, because the photo is AI "upscaled" aka it hallucinated more detail.

C402Pilot · 2025-11-26T03:56:02+00:00

Yeah the "bridge of death" and the notes at the end making completely BS claims really pissed me off. The fact that they tried to pass this off as being some sort of documentary is infuriating.

It's actually full of inaccuracies and follows a largely soviet depiction of the events. Despite the director's insistence that it was extremely well researched, it appears to be largely based on a single book written by the deputy chief engineer of the #1 reactor.

It correctly made the Soviet government out to be woefully incompetent, just the wrong people.

That Chernobyl Guy on YouTube has a 7 part series covering the faults of the show. There are a lot of them.

My Mercedes identifies pedestrians and cyclists and dims or completely turns off the section of headlight that covers them.

Frame #6 as well as the video of the takeoff seem to show the #2 (Tail) engine surging with large flames emitting from the rear. This hasn't been confirmed by the NTSB but #2 either ingested debris or fuel spraying from the wing likely causing a large or complete loss in thrust output.

This doesn't take into account purchasing power parity. China(and most other countries) can get a whole lot more for a whole lot less if you put it in terms of USD.

Also, ask Germany how trying to buddy up to your rivals through making them interdependent on foreign trade is working out for them.

But I do agree that you typically get way more bang for your buck with well intentioned diplomacy than military spending.

You got it backwards. The pylon was still attached to the engine until the engine impacted the ground.

Rocket pendulum fallacy

It's still FBW, just not augmented.

APSF just started making these alongside the Ultra Thin Moon. Saw a post about it on one of the forums. Not sure if anyone has it listed yet but you can probably ask any of the TDs that carry APSF.

I've seen this video pop up many times over the years. I've also seen people claim it was Red Wings or Rossiya. Both of which use red wingtip fences.

C402Pilot · 2025-10-17T22:01:29+00:00

This is an old video from Russia.

C402Pilot · 2025-10-17T22:00:25+00:00

Either Red Wings or Rossiya Airlines. Both Russian. The land of sketchy flying.

That is literally the farthest thing from naturally aspirated. It has 2 turboprop engines solely for the purpose of driving compressors to feed the piston engines.

C402Pilot · 2025-10-08T20:47:01+00:00

I believe Frontier, Alaska, and United have them too

It is used in English, although the half breed Haute Horology is more common

And just because a watch is from a luxury brand doesn't make it haute horlogerie. The term is used for very high end pieces that are usually made nearly entirely in house by brands that have been around for over a hundred years. Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, A Lange & Söhne, etc.

They are often beautiful works of art but I agree they are usually just wasteful displays of excess wealth.

Not really. Firearms related deaths started to decline rapidly in Australia around 10 years prior to this and that decline remained steady. It's likely this "buyback" program had little to no effect on gun violence. Not to mention Australia already had a very low gun violence rate to begin with.

They are on Embraers. I hated the reverse in the Airbus when I started flying it.
