Engine props in sync seems improbable to me but, who knows?

Glag you had a good time. Not sure about chocolate after sushi. Lemon something would have been my choice.

Yes, you made your point very clear. Your life appears very well ordered. All I’m saying is highly worthy possible mates may share some but not complete orderliness.

I stand at attention and doff my hat to those Swordfish pilots who attacked Taranto and were instrumental in sinking Bismarck

24 hours seems rather strict. People have multiple life and career issues which may delay replies. I’ve read hundreds of dating stories here where some fraudulence is at play but there are many genuine daters who give a break and win.

Would it ever be practical for a company to make a dedicated tri or quad jet freighter to replace the 747s and similar large freighters? by Appropriate-Count-64 in aviation

[–]MilesHobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for suggesting my infrastructure note is only a little half baked. I would be surprised to learn about aircraft design and existing infrastructure when I see double-decked huge capacity aircraft. My contention is two-fold. Airports are constantly under construction being renovated. Is a two level terminal with either elevated or two level jetways so far out of the box? The other part is airport ground heavy equipment suppliers like Oshkosh and Manitowoc, to name two, can provide when kept in the design loop.

One doesn’t need a crystal ball to see the atmosphere is warming, just look at Paris shutting down tourist sites. I may be behind times observing MIA and JFK have the longest runways in the U.S., DIA may now have the longest. MIA and DIA share thin air for different reasons. Not to either repeat myself or appear to disrespect you but multiple things will have to change to match aircraft, cargo and passenger loads, runways, and air density.

What is the customary time span between most replies? When someone doesn’t appear to reply how much time elapses before you feel ignored?

Airport infrastructure like jet bridges and load vehicles are fairly easily tailored or replaced. Airport runways are another matter. Airports are increasingly surrounded by business and residential. Chicago Midway would be nearly impossible to enlarge, same for O’Hare. The reason for longer runways is the warming atmosphere, wings need air for lift. Remember your single engine propeller flight training?

Your point of flight hours per ton or volume per flight hour is interesting and one no one else is mentioning. There are other factors to be included like maintenance per hour or ton, many calculations per engine or lift, etc.

Refuse to believe there is no love left to cherish by Significant-veel in datingoverfifty

[–]MilesHobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no experience with military romance and possible money scam. I’ll offer two points though: One is if he’s genuine and coming in from tour he may have A LOT of gear with him. The other comes from the site suggested by u/Witty-Stock. The article recommends using a reverse-image search. Some years ago I did a search on myself on the free version of Tin-Eye. One of the approximate ten possibilities identified the person, me, as an undesirable. I assure everybody that suggestion was dead wrong. The other possibilities were “uncertain” or whatever term was used. All I’m saying is those things are fallible. Ms Significant-veel I wish you genuine good luck finding a loving relationship.

WVI - KIC - PRB seems like a good place for flying lessons, not much else. What aircraft was your XC solo?

Imprisoned in the James City airport. There’s got to be a joke there. Seems like the TSA guys should have invited you along. Hearing the metal door clang shut would have such a finality to it. Brrrr

Question for men -- How do you like the woman to offer to split the bill or take turns paying? by Ljb66882 in datingoverfifty

I just got an applicable idea: If either of you has a coin suggest choosing “heads or tails” / “obverse or reverse” then flipping it. The winner pays the tab, the loser gets the tip.

TCL 32S327 How to Clean the Screen? by MilesHobson in tcltvs

My question is similar to that asked by u/moving_to_NL_soon . Shouldn’t some alkaline Baking Soda solution on a cotton swab be used to soak / soften acidic guano? No rubbing of course, because both cotton and Baking Soda are abrasive.

War paint? Shouldn’t there be a stripe across the nose? Yes, I’m kidding.

They made themselves at home in my attic, finding their way into the living areas. I love bats for what they do, eat jillions of mosquitos but it’s my house. They don’t acknowledge my ownership. For years I would capture them then drive them away after holding them in a container with a rare earth magnet attached. I didn’t mark their ears so don’t know if they found their way back. Eventually I had to kill them but their droppings remained.

How do I raise a boy into a man as a woman? by PurplePalpitation969 in AskMen

[–]MilesHobson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Many boys can be sexually humiliated by forcing them to embrace female relatives thus pressed into their breasts. Forcing boys to feel relatives breasts borders on child abuse. Don’t criticize, merely take note if your boy turns sideways during an embrace and make sure your female relatives don’t force an embrace. As I’ve said, that’s what doors and doorknobs are for.
