  What an A$$!

• Watch This Amazing Emergency Landing After Airplane Propeller Falls Off

  He stowed the hand-held GPS on the brow and remained calm. It looks like he opened the window but I couldn’t tell if he unlocked the doors. In an off-field landing it is a good idea to unlock the doors and even push them open some. They will not open against the wind pressure and are less likely to jam if the sheet metal gets bent. Great job pilot!

  Looking at the banner picture on the main Blaze site I noticed that, with a little mustache trim, Trumka would sure look a lot like Hitler from that camera angle. Hmmm.

• FAA Loses Track of 119,000 Aircraft

  (Re)Registering aircraft will do nothing to prevent someone from using a fake N-number no more than registering cars prevents people from stealing license plates/tags. I believe that this is just another tracking mechanism and perhaps revenue if there is a fee attached which I don’t believe there is but that could change I suppose.

• Quick-Thinking Air Traffic Controller Prevents Disaster at Boston Airport

  It would be virtually impossible to design a practical airport without taxiways that cross runways. Below is a link to the airport diagram for the Boston Logan airport if anyone is interested in seeing what it looks like. BOS is simple compared to others such as Chicago O’Hare or Los Angeles International.

• Quick-Thinking Air Traffic Controller Prevents Disaster at Boston Airport

  Kudos to the controller but I seriously doubt that there would have been an issue with a runway incursion. Taxi clearances changed June 2010 to prevent just this kind of problem. Previously “Taxi To” instructions implicitly cleared an aircraft to cross any runways enroute to their cleared desination unless specifically told to hold short. Unfortunately this sometimes resulted in misunderstandings and incursions. The new procedures requires explicit clearances for each runway to be crossed and the pilot must repeat the clearance back to the controller just as was done in this clip. While mistakes can happen I believe that there is very little doubt that the pilot would have stopped short of 33L on his own and asked ground control for instructions since he had no clearance to cross the runway. While airport taxiways can be confusing sometimes, even for the pros, signage for a runway is white characters on a red background and is pretty darn hard to miss.

  Must be another E. E. (Doc) Smith fan?? One of my favorite series. Just reread that series as well as the Skylark series.

• AARP Hikes Employee Health Care Costs, Blames ObamaCare

  In reply to Darth_Soros.

  The first time my wife and I saw AARP’s ad supporting the HealthCare law I called that evening and cancelled our membership and told them why in terms that they could not misunderstand. IMO AARP is an insurance company cloaking itself as a senior’s organization.
