Was completely awestruck when I walked into the hangar at the museum and saw this for the first time. Seeing this bird alone made the whole trip worth it.
you need to seriously work on your math skills. I hope you don't use this same common core mathematics when calculating your flight plans and setting your altimeter.
Well - if you flew cattle-class more often as the 99.9% of all flyers do - you would have a much different perspective.
Snarky or not - it's the truth.
airline food is bad enough as it is, usually only ever eaten out of necessity. Why on Earth would anybody voluntarily go to eat it while still parked on the ground and you had the freedom to go elsewhere?
Sorry but Kobe killed Kobe. His insistence to the pilot to fly and threatening the contract for the company if he didn't is what got him killed. Extortion plain and simple.
While that might be true for you and I in daily flight - when you're threatened with extortion against the entire company for refusing to fly that puts the liability on Kobe. Consequently his estate is what this company should be suing. Not the FAA.
The people they need to sue is Kobe's estate. And also file cases with the doj. Threatening extortion for refusing the fly is a criminal act, and the negligence associated with it resulted in the deaths of island Express employees and open them to liability.
