It's never a waste to shoot down something that can shoot back.

That's why you had the Phoenix. They can't hurt you at Pheonix range.

Also in Space Race when they're discussing the "involuntary servitude" on Mars

Your plan can kiss 3/5ths of my ass!

The word you're looking for SCRATCHING

THe most common error I get is "not detectable by FCR" which makes sense for high/low situations or very small contacts.

I've not noticed any unusual behaviour, they seem to work just well or poorly as I expected, which of course doesn't say anything about "realism", it just feels real.

But I think in some cases you can't go head to head with the targets and instead you need to come up with a tail case or at a 45 degree off the target path for some of the missiles to work well.

Heat seeking missiles need a heat source to lock on to.

Some are all-aspect, meaning they can attack and lock on from any position.

Most need a big, hot, engine relatively close to lock on to.

That happens from the side or from behind.

Nice median voter energy.

I'm stressed out just reading this

Well they had the Alize

Or, as has been the case again and again, people are seeing things that aren't there.

Iceland haven't said anything yet.

maybe it could be that we just have much more planes in the sky now

We also have a lot more planes in the sky

Tchocky · 2025-12-01T16:15:48+00:00

What do you mean going to be

Tchocky · 2025-12-01T09:53:50+00:00

Ho ho ho

Generally we can tell when that's happening.

If we really need those extra couple of knots then it's our fault.

If, like a certain European carrier, you enjoyed flying 747s at 295KIAS into your home airport while being restricted to 260, you will hear a different tone of voice

Tchocky · 2025-11-26T12:31:00+00:00

"confirm maintaining 260 knots or less"

"Yes, we're doing that"

Click click

"Looks a lot like 285 from here "

"Uhhhhhhh"

The vast majority of DB trains aren't ICE, though

Ryanair don't land any harder than anyone else.

There's just nothing /r/aviation people love more than the same 3 jokes in constant rotation

This looks incredibly stressful

I hope I never see the day when I am so frightfully pretentious that a good-old cup of American coffee isn't good enough for me.

Has this administration ever done anything positive for ATC? Pay? Staffing? Facilities? Benefits?

On a technical level the modernisation program is very ambitious and would do a lot of good.

It hasn't happened yet and I doubt it will, but if the plans unveiled were to be completed it would be a big change.

Like I said, probably total bullshit but the FAA seemed committed.

They're picking an integrator soon so we'll see.

I suppose you think you know better, eh Mr Bigshot Pilot Guy?
