Hey I want that job too. Why can’t old fat guys be runway models? Equality man!

This site is about people in the aircraft industry not people someone wants to hire to paint a house. Maybe try to stay on topic?

Isn’t this kinda insulting to minorities? It’s kinda like saying they couldn’t get a licence without making it easier for them. Personally I could care less about the pilot’s sex or skin colour or anything else because what I care about is the person at the controls is capable of handling the aircraft in any situation that may come up. Airlines need to make that the priority and hire people who are capable of meeting that criteria regardless of sex, skin colour or anything else.

Maybe. But this is going to be a big help.

RIP Capt. Jenn Casey. This was a tragic accident and it shows how dangerous these planes can be. I love watching the Snowbirds but I also worry about them because of how a minuscule mistake can become catastrophic.

It was at a time when Canada was switching over to the metric system and Quebec as usual was not in sync with the rest of Canada having switched befor the other provinces. The Jet was fueled up in kilograms of fuel wile the Captain had done his calculations in pounds, thus they ran out of fuel just under half way through their trip.

Thanks for the article. For the most part it is correct except it says the first use if the term knot was 1610 yet Columbas used it in his writings over a century befor that. Perhaps the article you used had made a simple mistake somewere because otherwise it seems to discribe the process of measuring speed the same as old navel literature.. I don't know when this method was first used but it has been around a long time and it amazes me how how accurate marine navigation was wile using such primitively methods.

My post was in jest to point out how times and cultures have changed. Hands, inches, feet...etc were all based on dimensions if the human body. But since my hand is likely a different size then yours there needed to be a standard. Romans used the emperor, later fudal times would use the king but both of those systems fell apart when a ruler died and the new ruler had differant dimensions. Knots themselves came from knots in a rope tied to a log that was tossed out and then after a measured time the number of knots was used to estimate speed and then transferred to the map to estimated position. Times change and in the future they will continue to change and the knot might give way to something else.

I watched that land on the race track. Pretty impressive flying skills by the crew.
