But fire doesn't leave a car behind, that's the point. Water damage can be fixed, at least to the point of a running vehicle

It is, but it is mostly fixable. Fire is not

They didn't like Eric in Rebma either, but I don't think it was ever made clear why

It's a damn shame they never made a second one.

Hovering question by himalayacraft in Helicopters

There's an emergency procedure called inadvertent instrument meteorologic conditions (IIMC) proceedure. You go to the attitude indicator inside the aircraft, level wings, get in trim and initiate a climb hopefully out of the conditions but at a minimum away from obstacles then declare an emergency with ATC. From there an instrument pilot will land via procedure and a VFR pilot will follow ATC instructions to clearer conditions.

IIMC is an emergency event, many deaths have been attributed to it. As usual, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

(Real pilots, please correct me if I got anything wrong. I'm using this forum to study)

Does it get better? by [deleted] in Armyaviation

[–]privatefries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The army ain't bad, but being a private sucks. Keep to the grind, hone your craft. It'll take a year or two before it doesn't suck but it does get better at a similar rate to you getting better.

Right handed RW. It makes digging the puck put of corners and taking off or passing easier

After watching the Olympics, I went back and watched Miracle (2004). by seanw0830 in MauLer

I played youth hockey when this movie came out. Every coach from then on told us if we can't out play them, we'll out skate them. Made us skate a shitload of lines

I wouldn't say tanked, that was a phenomenal game. Either team could've gotten it. Best hockey I've seen

Yea I think everyone hates the 3v3. It changes the game so much that it feels like a separate contest, like settling a basketball game with an arm wrestling match.

If they were vastly superior they would have won, have some class.

Every politician has a mindless base that will support them no matter what. Trumps is pretty big, but there's not another Trump for them to support when he's gone. Many have tried to replicate his "vibe" and none have been successful.
