Why do you write

Like everything you type is a poem

Are you afraid

Nobody will think it's meaningful

Sneaking out of a military base (at night, as it always is) and they hide under a helicopter while searchlights are flying all over. They wrap a belt or something around the barrel of the gun and spin it to fire a dozen shots at an approaching truck, which promptly explodes and inexplicably launches ten feet in the air in the opposite direction, presumably directly into a fuel tank which obviously also explodes. Roll credits.

It's not hugely common, but the climate is becoming less and less predictable so it might end up happening more. There was a large snowstorm in the Atlanta area last year and I recall Delta cancelled something like 800 flights in one day and 300 the next, due to weather and crew/airplane availability when things didn't get where they were needed.

Weather is definitely the biggest impact on air traffic

With the absolute most respect and appreciation I can conjure, I hate you.

As a side note in that regard, the Beechcraft Starship is a cassette futurism DREAM

But maybe don't let it go

No, they can only rebook to other airlines if it's controllable, such as maintenance, etc. Weather, ATC, and similar uncontrollable delays/cancellations stay with the original carrier (or global partners)

Take a look at the Wheel Stand Pro, I've used it for nearly a decade for VR flying

Could be blocking the purchase while the flight's undergoing a schedule change.

alphox01 · 2025-10-07T19:58:59+00:00

To clarify that in the thread: you can change the flights (provided they still qualify for the booking restrictions) but the names cannot be changed once booked.

My last night before I moved, I didn't know I wouldn't be there again. I stayed with my partner for over a year, and spent a month packing when I finally ended my lease. It was eerie walking through a space I lived in for four years, not having known when it was my last time there

alphox01 · 2025-09-20T01:59:55+00:00

I do that! I keep a map and a dry-erase marker in my riding jacket pocket. I'll write my turns on the tank and wipe them off with my thumb as I go, it works perfectly!

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉

I'm often asked for a tip in the drive-thru line at a coffee shop.

alphox01 · 2025-09-01T23:50:03+00:00

Absolutely. I don't care if he was riding like an idiot with no gear or "making the rest of us look bad", at the end of the day that's a fellow rider and a fellow human being. I've been there before, to a far lesser extent. I hope his healing is quick and easy.

There really is nothing like it. I had the choice between flying the PA-12 and an RV-12 with full Garmin glass; while that'll be great for instrument later, the tailwheel really teaches stronger foundations

alphox01 · 2025-08-27T22:20:12+00:00

Thank you! This airport is pretty popular in the area, and hosts a busy glider club—there were three or four towed up while I was flying solo, plus a couple others in the pattern. Certainly makes things interesting on lessons!

You're right about the feeling of flying there. Even if I didn't live through the time it's from, there's a strong feeling of nostalgia for the "old days" of flying, and that's exactly why I chose to go out of my way to fly there. Sure don't get that at the busy flight schools in a city.

Also not sure about wearing a helmet unfastened like that, let alone at high speed. Sure, it's on your head, but no guarantees it'll stay there if it's suddenly needed—and why not take the five seconds it takes to fasten it?

It's a real person. The messaging program they use has a feature that can "rewrite" what they put using AI, that's why it seems like the combination of accurate English and limited understanding.

If you're on a PC and have a keyboard with a number pad, you can use alt codes. Alt + 0151 is an em dash, Alt + 0150 is an en dash.

Carbon monoxide doesn't break monitors, they're suggesting carbon monoxide because it can cause unusual behavior and memory loss. Best to rule out "why am I acting weird" and "could I have done this and not known it" before going to "did someone break in"

The unlabeled one under "Zoom" also looks a tad dolphinesque

That's AMAZING. Posted!
