Oops! Thanks for catching that. Read more

They still sell Astronaut Ice Cream, I'm happy to report. Read more

I'm planning to attend Hops & Props next year. Tix on sale 11/19, I believe. Read more

I'm not a big fan of the paint either, honestly. Read more

Yeah, he's known for being a bit of a drama queen within the industry. :) Read more

I agree there, the A350 is much more attractive in design. Though I do have to say, I enjoyed my one and only A380 flight from Frankfurt to JFK, even in coach. The cabin was so quiet! Read more

Imagine sitting behind that prop wash!! I do love me some prop wash though... At Oshkosh this summer, I stood right behind a P-51D at about 50 feet as it powered up to taxi out. The wind, the smell... Loved it. Read more

I think the problem is that one lever was pulled, instead of both? I agree that going slower shouldn't have been a factor. In regard to automation, I can't think of any aircraft or spacecraft that has automated measures to slow it down while airborne. Flaps and spoilers are deployed mechanically, but still require… Read more

I get what you're saying, and I appreciate your point of view. The first Malaysia Airlines crash happened a week into this new gig for me. I hesitated to write about it because we didn't know any real details. I'd prefer to immediately know all the details of every crash as soon as it happened (as would the general… Read more

How about no and no. I said it exploded and crashed. That's in fact what occurred. Virgin calls it a spaceship. That's what it's designed for. Whether it gets to the official space boundary is another story. I've written on that. Read more

Love (DAL) is pretty fantastic! They have a terminal that's practically brand new, and some great food options too. Read more

You're right, it was suborbital. I'll make that change. Thanks! Read more

Fair enough, but the Discovery Channel is pretty credible. If they say it's legit, I'll go with it. Read more

And you need to stop being so cynical. If they find it, I couldn't care less whether they make a profit or not. People have made money by finding the Titanic too, and there's still an important historical significance there too, no? Read more

I'm not sure I understand your logic. Speeding is a crime. Read more

I'm getting a good laugh at some of your comments, guys... blaming the reaction to the hotspot more than the douchebag who caused the problem? Really?? How could the authorities afford to NOT investigate this? Read more

You'd need at least 17 inches to add one seat to a row, and thinner walls would gain maybe 3 inches on each side. So, there's no need for concern of additional crowding in this case. Read more

I beg to differ. Sure there's no "need" for windows, but watching the world go by at Mach .85 is the whole reason I love flying. Read more

The Gulfstream 650 has windows that are at least double normal airline windows. They are massive and I loooooove them. Read more

What shuttle vans are there in Vegas? They have limos and town cars for the big fish, but for Joe Blow, its all taxi cabs. Read more
