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

I could see instantly what the problem was; The wings were loose, and kept turning. Clearly I went a little too aggressive in stopping the unwanted movement in this flawed design.

One day I might tell you about my first solo...
Or the time the FO nearly killed us...


If I wrote a book about actual events, it would end up in the fiction section, because nobody would believe some of the crap that goes on

Just had a thought about Concorde & what a pity it is that in 50+ years nobody has come close to replacing it for supersonic passenger flights.

How it is supposed to look.

L'incompetence.

Such a pity due to bad maintenance in Houston of the DC-10 that dropped a piece on the runway - along with Frenchmen leaving out parts entirely on the Concorde landing gear, seems such a pity to have stopped flights entirely. Although COVID probably would have killed it off anyway given the routes were becoming unsustainable financially.
