  1. Thank you for relating your experiences. Thank you for being willing to have those experiences. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  2. How tall are you? Reading between the lines of your posts, perhaps the instructors are just estimating your speed, on the fast side just for exaggeration effect. You were likely not falling that fast. You've got one of the most important things to have for good flying at your level, confidence. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

    I've watched some old episodes, must have missed it. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  4. You said he lied, right? That means that you know that he knew he wasn't telling the truth. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  5. I lot of smart people think that we should have attacked across the border, attacked even where Soviet aids were stationed. The Soviets were trying to appear that they weren't really part of the war, they weren't willing to be complete allies with NV, so there is good reason to think they would have backed down. If we weren't willing to do this, we should have given up much earlier than we did.

  6. I agree, the term facism is often applied incorrectly. I think the dictionary definition fits very to this usage. Applying it to our president or shopkeepers or fox hunting, etc. doesn't fit the definition well, I think. Maybe it is time for a new word, the definition, however, doesn't have to change.

  7. Bush isn't trying to impose by force a religion on the rest of the world. That is the stated objective of the Islamofacists. I think it is great that Bush called it what it is. He's not afraid of being politically incorrect. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  8. We fought in Vietnam with our hands tied behind our backs - and we were the ones that did the tying. Fortunately, we learned not to fight wars like that. We didn't attack air bases across the border, didn't attack SAM sites if there were Soviets there. This is a forum for the expression of ideas, not for you to tell me what I can do. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  9. Islamofacism. They are the modern day crusaders. They make that quite clear in their public pronouncements. Thank goodness we have a president with the guts to call it what it is - Islamofacism. They want us to think that diplomacy can solve this. What it will take is Arab leadership of the kind exhibited by Anwar Sadat. For now, that doesn't exist. It took being defeated by the Israelis to get Sadat to change heart. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  10. What do I expect? I expect other nations to choose sides or stay out of it. If they choose to fight against us, then they are to be attacked. It doesn't mean we have to send ground troops to Tehran, but it shouldn't mean hands off either. Also, I claim that Iraq effectively started the war by shooting at us for years and ignoring the terms of the cease fire.

    I am surprised that the bad guys were Arabs. Hasn't every other bad guy been from Germany or Eastern Europe? I figured they were trying not to insult Arabs.

  13. Speaking of repeating, it seems that it is necessary to repeat the fact that there is a distinct difference between lying and saying something that you didn't know was false.

  14. QuoteDo you think those seat costs will be passed onto the customers? I sure as fuck don't.Quote The airlines did offer cheaper fares when the 747 was introduced (at least that is what they say).

  15. I don't understand what there is to check out. You saw that the valve had been turned on. Where's the mystery. I don't mean to minimize what almost happened to you, but I can't understand the desire to have someone check it out. I could understand a desire to get rid of the gas stove for an electric one. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  16. I'm speaking more about the general public, more than skydivers and those actually involved with the aircraft. If anything, I personally have LESS willingness to fly on an A380 or other future superjumbos, just because it's going to take that much longer to load the damned things up with people and luggage, and unload, meaning more time sitting around doing exactly fuck all. A 200 person supersonic with seats that will fit me halfway decently is what I'm hoping to see some day. The A380 should offer cheaper seats compared to alternatives, as did the 747. That is the incentive to put up with the herd. A supersonic plane would be great for the shorter flights, but unfortunately it also means flying at very high altitudes. The Concorde flew at around 60,000 feet. A depresurization at that altitude would give most people the bends I think, never mind if you'd pass out too quickly to get an oxygen mask on. It would take a long time to descend to a safe altitude to breath. It would be fun, but we all know that planes are vulnerable to failures of all kinds. It was very fortunate that it never happened to a Concorde. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  17. Not enough time! I'd say that a more appropriate description would be - Instructor stupidly put himself above the student. To the original poster: I see no need to get beat up over your failure to pull earlier when the instructors got separated. You could have done a lot worse, and in fact most instructors would expect you to do a lot worse. You've learned that lesson, no need to let anyone make too big a deal about it now.

  18. Some of us have worked to design or build new commercial airliners (777 flight deck in my case). For the same reasons people go to aircraft museums. They are amazing examples of what humans can do, they are marvels of engineering that often have some new technology (even if it doesn't change the passenger experience). I also think that we have a deep desire to jump out of such planes, which is of course can now be easily satisfied with Perris' jet. I think it good that it still has the full passenger interior, it wouldn't have been as much fun if it was a cargo version.

  19. Not even close to being the same. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  20. indeed i firmly believe Monty Python's Meaning of Life is the truest depiction of heaven available to Man Arthur Jarrett, being chased by a large group of gorgeous girls off a mountain cliff (his chosen method of execution). Funny that the guy playing Arthur Jarrett was gay. Maybe they knew he was the only member of the troupe that would keep running. And they had Protecs on! hehe i'd forgotten about that one... but good call.. i was thinking of the fact all the angels were topless Actually, they weren't topless, those were just fake boobs built into the costume. Terry Jones had intended for them to be topless, but was convinced by some woman assistant to do the fake ones because most wouldn't be able to tell. This is a lousy pic of the "Christmas in Heaven" production: People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  23. You might consider climbing Squaw Peak in Phoenix. It takes about 1 hour, and even if you only make it up 20 minutes or so, it is still far enough to get a great view. Alternatively, a great view is also had by driving to the top of South Mountain. Wouldn't stay up there much past sunset though.

  24. A pilot light on furnaces and water heaters will have such a safety device, but the valve controlling the flow of gas to the burner (not a pilot) does not. At least every gas stove I looked at a few years ago didn't. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
