  1. What do you mean by this? I do not understand?They are coupled but I dont understand what you mean by physically? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  2. I dont know. The final report is not out yet. That probably will take a couple years. But from most crashes I have read about or incidents it never seems to be 1 thing that caused a crash. It always seems to be a line of things that. It seems that with possible pitot or static ports iced up, flight computers going to alternate modes, Capt not in the seat, see it's a list of things that contribute but the final report is what I will read. All I am reading now is stuff that could have caused and led up to the crash. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  3. Sounds like the Iraq's need to step up and clean up their own mess. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  4. Hell a lot of planes as you know have stick pushers now. I remember in the CRJ the amount of force to override the pusher would damn near pull me out of the seat and I weigh 185lbs. It's one hell of a tug. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  5. I cannot say for sure about the A330 cause I'm not up to speed on that one but the 757, 67, and triple are all auto. It operates with ice detectors and the WOW (Weight on Wheels) or squat switch. The 737 actually has a switch to manually turn it on. But for how much automation the A330 had in it I assume it is set up somewhat close to the triple. It is operating normally but it it fails you should get a "Master Caution" light.

  6. Like i said the Human factor. I still havent learned why the pitot iced up to begin with. Those things are hot as hell. I still have a scar on my hand when I accidently touched one and burned the hell out of my hand. But humans sometimes do weird things even though the machine is telling them there is a problem. The Colgan flight in Buffalo is a great example. The thing was telling them they were in a stall but the Captain was still fighting the stick pusher.

  7. Ours did the same thing. On Christmas morning she would pester us until we unwrapped her bone then she would carry it to the corner and wouldnt be heard from for hours. She was a happy dog! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  8. You skydive? Why would anyone want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  9. Just goes to show that no matter how smart or "Fail Safe" they make planes us humans will always find a way to fuck it up. I almost wish it was something mechanical. That I can fix but we will never completely remove the human factor. very sad. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  10. Yeah this is one I still laugh at. It's fun. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  11. We have always gotten out German Shepherd a gift for Christmas. We usually get a toy, bag of snacky treats and a HUGE bone. She knows whats hers cause she lays with her nose about 1/2 inch away from it but doesnt touch it. One of these years we will have a dog that doesnt give a shit and will just tear it open.

    Ron Paul

    But any of those other asshats up there impress you any? I think they all suck! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  13. Is this the agency you love to see oversee stuff? NICE! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/crime-scene/post/faa-head-randy-babbitt-charged-with-drunk-driving-in-fairfax/2011/12/05/gIQAkNjdWO_blog.html http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/05/9226325-head-of-faa-charged-with-dwi I deal with the FAA more than I like and I can tell you some of the guys are good but most are a bunch of idiots. They are more reactive than proactive. They never seem to react to anything until there's a smoking crater in the ground. And as usual instead of being about aviation safety it's all politic's as usual. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  14. WOW! Thats pretty short notice? Anybody alreadyhave tickets to fly to Dubai already? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  15. Hell after week 11 I didn't care. I was winking and blowing kisses. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  16. Where at? I'm seeing them also If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  17. Yeah, the fine print is a bitch. Things like alignment, brake pads or shoes, clutch disk (If you have a stick) and a list of other things will not be covered. They are considered "Wear and tear items". As for the hubcap I have seen them fall off for no reason. I would just buy a new cap and forget about it. They probably wont give you one. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  18. I'd cut the defense budget more than that. *** A lot of people say that. What specificly in defense would you cut? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  19. How about cut spending to 1999 levels also? I'll go with that also! If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  20. Well fuck me I guess I didnt have time to look over your 40,000 post to find it. A simple answer without the arrogant attitude would have been nice for once. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  21. So how much MORE do you want from these top earners? What percent of top earners do you want more from? Top 10%? 20%? And what would you tax them at? If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  22. Update on the weather. Looks like a crummy weekend here. Time to put to motorcycle up for the year and start getting it ready for thr track in the spring. From Weather.com "Rain. Windy with highs in the lower 40s. Temperature falling into the mid 30s in the afternoon. Northeast winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent."

  23. Why just politicians? Why should they be allowed to do something for protection but not me? What gets me now is in my home state of MI I had my CCP, am able to carry in a number of other states, former Army Infantry, been to countless NRA and other shooting classes and competition, never had anything more than a speeding ticket about 10 years ago but now here in the state of New Jersey I cannot do anything with a handgun. Sure am glad all the gangbangers still have their guns strapped on them. Ok rant over. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
  24. DAMN! Was that today? I can't keep up with all these "End of the world" days. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
