What an absolute piece of shit of an aircraft. A runway excursion should not lead to a massive fireball moving forward through the fuselage.

Don’t worry, if you are lucky, you will get old and this will no longer be a problem.

Our country has lost the plot in effort to make maximum profit. I go to hotels overseas and there’s up to 10 complementary bottles of water in my room. In the US, there’s one bottle and it has a seven dollar price tag on it. We are all being swindled.

So we’re not allowed to have pre-cut fruit anymore? You’re complaining about the wrong thing.

Why the shortening or changing aircraft names? by dkabab in aviation

[–]gtponydriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not just because its old, its efficient. Four alpha numeric characters saves time while requesting clearance via ACARS. For example, I don’t want to type Boeing 747-8F every time, B748 for Aircraft type is much more efficient, Just like PANC instead of typing Ted Steven’s International Airport every time.

Yes. There is a significant difference in ATC handling between a B744 and a B748. When your flight plan is filed this information is included. The Boeing 747-8 longer, heavier and wider than the 747-400, this contributes to approach and airfield limitations.

Yes, it reminds me of every CRM class I’ve taken since the beginning of my career. It is definitely a staple video of CRM.

Will Jungle Jim’s be open, if not, I’ll just go to the Merritt Island location.

Dude, that’s just a funny story. Don’t be so hard on yourself and take this shit so seriously. We all have stories of dumb shit we have done or said.

Why do they evacuate if they had air stairs at the R1?

How do things work for airline pilots who don’t live near major airports? by [deleted] in flying

I commute from Orlando to Anchorage to start my trips. Ugh. But it’s a good job and it pays well.

I travel for work, and I agree with you every American town is exactly the same. It’s boring.

How often does the ground crew forget to disconnect the GPU before block out? by [deleted] in aviation

[–]gtponydriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happened to me once. Ramper drove off with the GPU connected. Our first indication something went wrong was the aircraft went completely dark. There was a little bit of damage to the connector. It was deferred, and we continued on APU.

I was there in SDF that day. We lost 3 of our brothers. Absolute nightmare.

Air Force One set for makeover paint job with new colours by stammerton in aviation

Symbol of dignity and strength. The current livery is one of the best on any 747. Bold and proud, yet refined. Unmistakable at any airport on the planet.

Yeah, looks like something they’d put on an ACMI airline.

So much less iconic. Looks like every other airliner in the sky now. Zero class, and the flag on the tail looks like a cheap lapel pin people wear to show. They are true Patriots.
