Man, if that had been me flying I would have that clip running on a continuous loop in my "I love me" room at home.

Years ago while enroute from Cal. to TX in a lear I heard center come on the air and say " (military call sign) show you leaving flight level 600, squawk VFR, good day". Don't know if it was a U-2 or SR-71 but I got a kick out of hearing it.

If God had meant for women to fly He wouldn't have called it a cockpit. Sorry, couln't resist.

I loved watching that video, they were all pioneers, flight crews as well as pax. I don't go quite that far back but I do remember when the pax and crew were desevedly respectful of one another.

So what's new. When I learned to fly in the 60s I was taught and later I taught that it is the pressure differential (venturi effect) that caused a wing to create lift.

I didn't read the entire article but I agree with the idea. I have been in the sim with many guys whose piloting skills were not so great when the autopilot and flight directors "failed". An article published in BCA magazine several years ago addressed automation in the cockpit that included an observation by an old, gray haired mossback that he "can't fly worth a damn any more but I can type 40 words per minute".

I have read and heard from many sources that the energy required to produce etahanol fuel exceeds the energy potential of the ethanol produced. There is also the (apparently) unintended consequence of the increased cost of agricultural products available for use as food due to the diversion of farm products for fuel production. I don't have a problem with the use of grease trap oil for fuel IF and AFTER unintended consequences are studied and acknowledged.
