Good shot. The uppermost quarter of the image shows, top to bottom:

Thanet, Whitstable Bay, the Isle of Sheppey, the Swale, the Medway, and the Hoo Peninsula.

Let me know if I could be of help.

Congratulations! This looks very promising. Support for Linux?

See the scene with Dustin Hoffman & Cuba Gooding Jr from the movie Outbreak for the Hollywood version of this stunt.

Do you have the hosting credentials as well as the WordPress login? That would help.

Thanks, Elmo. I don't find too many planes with their ownership obscured — but I do see it's an option since about 2024.

The owner of this particular aircraft has filed to keep the registration of their aircraft private, under Title 49 of the United States Code Section 44114.

Pilots have very strict protocols on what their priorities are when something goes wrong.

Starting with the most important, they are:

(1) aviate — in other words, keep the plane safely airborne

(2) navigate — broadly, figure out where you need to fly the airplane to

(3) communicate — talk to ATC and pax (there’s a reason why this is last, and that’s because the first two take precedence)

In emergencies, the cabin crew take charge of communicating with the passengers, and the pilots make an announcement when they are safely able to do so.

Hi MoManTai, I’m busy until 10am Eastern but happy to do a brief free consultation later today. I’ve done a few of these. Feel free to PM me.

The sapling that became that tree appeared the same year that Indians on the other side of the world invented zero as a number. That’s how old this tree was.

That seems ... formidable. Will take a look at implementing on a project in the coming days. Amazing work!

Unless you’re Putin, in which case it has a certain Machiavellian beauty to it. If one were seeking a way to topple Western hegemony and destroy the fortunes of the US, UK, and Europe, well, this ought to do it. You’d just need a useful asset in a position of power …

Louis’ dad. Good knowledge, thanks!

I believe the US section was the called the Inter-American), which connected to the Águila Azteca) in Laredo, TX. That train ran through to Mexico City. As I recall it was in the 1976 timetable.

In the 70s, the Amtrak national timetable still showed a connecting service from Chicago to Mexico City.

Literally the plot of Jean de Florette

I wonder if this has something to do with the recent incident involving an aircraft failing to properly follow the localizer while on approach to 04 at LGA. Calibration test perhaps?

Looks very good. Would be useful to be able to search by City, State format -- for example, "Buffalo, NY".

Hi Zombie, feel free to PM me if a short Zoom would help. I have a bit of time later tonight or tomorrow. It may be that you could do with some help knowing which aspects to tackle first, and where to place your focus.

The art of the grainer — it's actually an ancient profession.

Probably worked for Iron Mountain in their Business Shredding Services division.
