flight

I have some question about these papers. I'm praticing debunking on a new French debunking site which has opened this morning (or this night, for fellow americans ;)) (although very superficial in their investigations), and some twoofers keep asking for the passenger manifest. When I provide...

Was in bookstore tonight - saw this new book TOUCHING HISTORY by Lynn Spencer, an airline pilots, who interviewed pilots, FAA officials, NEADS personnel and Air Guard pilots tasked with defending US airspace on 9/11 Fascinating and goes into detail (including mentioning United 23 - often...

Even though the article claims otherwise, the words "test flight" has to come to mind at some point: FBI: Dynamite found in luggage The items were found packed inside a Coca-Cola bottle and packed in mud. For all the tin-foilers, yes - it was George Bush International Airport. :)

Passengers refuse to fly until Asians are removed I suspect this was an irrational reaction to a very rational fear. I guess we should take this time to come to terms with the root causes of the radicalization of western air travelers.

Help me convince my husband that flight 93 wasn't shot down by our own military! Or help me eat humble pie! I tried searching the forum, but couldn't find anything. I know a lot of you are currently debating the "loose brains" bunch, so if you could help me find more info I would greatly...

Bermuda Triangle Dead Honored After 60 Years Included in the article is some dithering by a wooic about "electromagnetic fog". But on the whole, the article is very factual and not overly dramatic. The House resolution text can be read here.

This has always puzzled me. When they say someone sailed a boat around the world or flew a plane around the world or pogo-sticked around the world, or whatever, what do they mean? It doesn't mean you sailed around the earth at the equator, since you can't do that unless you want to carry your...

Now that the first commercial, private spaceship had flown, I'll bet Microsoft is going to fund one for publicity purposes. Get ready for "Blue Sky of Death" error messages.

Assuming all goes well for SpaceShip One, we will have our first manned, private flight to the edge of space today. What implications does this have for future activity at or beyond the edge of space? Besides the obvious (and awesome) prospect of space tourism, there are such things as private...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,110791,00.html apparently the pilot was still on his Jesus high from his missionary work. from the article... An American Airlines pilot asked Christians on his flight to identify themselves and discuss their religion with non-Christian passengers, the...

Does anyone here know much about the various conspiracy theories surrounding the 1996 TWA flight 800 disaster off Long Island, New York? It's easy to find conspiracy theories about it on the Internet, but it's harder to find skeptics with aviation/missile-fire knowledge to debunk them. One good...

Suppose that you could have one of two super powers: Flight, or Invisibility. You could only choose one or the other. You would be the only one in the entire world who had the super power. The power would not confer any other auxiliary powers. You would be a human being in every way, with...

Did any UK members see the Sky News coverage of Concord's last flight? When they were filming in the cockpit there were many examples of flying dust particles -- aka 'orbs' to the woo's. I haven't seen any reports of 'Alien/ghostly orbs join Concord crew for last flight.' :) malc

Question from a third grader's science homework - does an airplane need gravity to fly? There seem at least three possible answers: 1. An atmosphere would not form or stay contained if gravity was absent. (the wisea$$ answer) 2. No, because lift is a function of only velocity and air density...
