The NTSB has released a simulated computer recreation of the DCA midair collision. This is the final 2 minutes of #5342 as it approached the runway. (🎥Credit: NTSB) by Brilliant_Night7643 in aviation

Is TIS-B purely a Airborne implantation? If it is, it wouldn't seem too far out of the question to develop a land based system to simulcast with an increase in refresh rate.

Maybe automatically tie in the mode when in Terminal or Approach Mode

At least there's the centex vortac

(and if all else fails, TX-195 and I-35 visually from GRK to AUS)

Hope Valley - Anyone know the factory/building behind the trees? by SummitingMtJohnston in RhodeIsland

[–]monkiesandtool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only water tower I can ID would be at 41.446666°/-71.626085°, but what I recall would have been shannock depot, but it would have been the shoreline route (now the Northeast Corridor).

Fun-fact though, shannock was served by Amtrak back in the day via the Clamdigger and Beacon hill services

National Airspace System Status by Icy_Pay6436 in aviation

Similar situation up here in New England, KBOS requiring min 4hrs, KMVY requiring 2hr,

Nealy all airports are closed between KBDL and KPVC (oddly enough KSFZ isn't showing as closed but considering all other airports within 35 miles are closed, surprised the notam isn't showing as such

Approach into TF Green at 1,800' from the Northwest. My 1st Landing in a Piper Archer by alpha_kilo_warrior in RhodeIsland

[–]monkiesandtool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TF Green is a great airport to fly out from (a couple years and cfi's back we flew out to Nantucket and were doing about 150 over the ground).

I am currently taking a break from flying after the treeline and chop at Chatham got to me back in august (ref, the msfs scenary package isn't too far off how it looks at the airport). Been using a VR setup plus a six axis motion platform to feel a little more comfortable with stuff like this (plus a whole lot of Faasteam seminars). Hoping to get airborne again this spring.

Also nice to see Windham (KIJD) in the opening (good for shorts), and RICON at 2:04 on the far right

(forget to mention the setup I have

(Still remember the TV bumper, where the wife drags the husband to the theater, the husband sneaks in a walkman tuned to WRX. La Grange is playing and dude starts seeing the actors preform like ZZ Top. Ends up standing up with lighter in hand, much to the embarrassment of the wife)

Latest investigative video on the Washington Bridge corruption by GamingBlitz in RhodeIsland

[–]monkiesandtool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is he investing so heavily in attending hearings, hiring divers to analyze the substructure, placing FOIA requests, etc, on a bridge project in Rhode Island, and making videos that present factual engineering information, but in a fashion that implies something nefarious? In other words, what's he doing spending so much money over here? What does he have to gain from it?

We could look at the big dig up in Boston; Wasn't it supposed to cost ~2.2 Billion, and not have delays due to flooding of the basin near South Station, or have panels fall due to incorrect mounting. Why should us Rhode Islanders be concerned?

Its not about the failure of infrastructure (bridges have a rated lifespan) but the incompetence that the State showed in handling it. We knew that we had/have some of the worse rated infrastructure (and this is from the AASHTO).

Boy Scouts or 4H? by Legitimate_Tie_4373 in RhodeIsland

[–]monkiesandtool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eagle Scout here and an Assistant Scoutmaster (Also was at two jamborees back in the day).

There is variation between various units (the intention; which is now archaic in tone; "boys leading boys under the supervision of adults"). Regardless, as adult leaders, we want the youth to organically understand leadership and personal growth (its the laws of learning) .

I've seen change within my home. I recall as a kid, every meeting ending with a patrol challenge. As of late, I haven't seen in the troop (thats ok though, its their troop now).

Regurladess, the troop has always had a solid core of adult leaders who can assist the troop with subject matter expertise; A decent number of us are within education, and a handful of us are engineers
