All Things Aviation

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Good read about the defection of a USSR pilot with a MiG-25, one of my favourite planes back in the old Top Trumps days, certainly was fast, but well as you read, not all that good otherwise..
:D

Awesome! yes very fast but had a turn radius the size of Texas, so dead meat in a dogfight.

All jokes Aviation

One was Bumbling around google doing some research when, somehow, a page of this stuff popped up- some of which feels oddly familiar even in jest. ( As normal people, some of these observations may not make much sense to you)


You might be a freight dog if…

• Your airplane was getting old when you were born.

• You have not done a daylight landing in the past six months.
• ATC advises you of smoother air at a different altitude, and you don’t care.
• You call the hotel van to pick you up and they don’t understand where you are at the airport.
• Your airplane has more than 75,000 cycles.

• Your company call sign is “Oil Can”.
• The lady at the FBO locks up the popcorn machine because you plan on “making a meal of it”.

• Your airplane has more than eight faded logos on it.
• Your Director of Operations mysteriously changes your max. take off weight during the holiday season.

• Every FBO makes you park out of sight of their building.
• You have ever walked barefoot through the FBO because you just woke up.

• You mark every ramp with engine oil.
• There’s cargo onboard that’s illegal on passenger aircraft.
• Everything you own is in your flight bag and suitcase.

• All the other pilots wait for you to “test the squall line” first.
• All the other airlines hold to see if you get in.

• You request the visual approach with 300’ overcast and ½ SM vis.
• You make no attempt to deviate around the weather.

Not sure if on topic, but "One More Shot" released last month is almost completely filmed on an airport (London Stansted), as well as (seemingly) in just one long camera shot:
