The arm can be unscrewed easily, no need to break it. The window is kept all the way open against the bottom of the wing by airflow.

Most narrow bodies can't dump fuel, and don't need to since max landing weight isn't that much below max take off weight. If they have to, they'll land overweight but unless the emergency is right...
It was a clean slate design, but some design choices (ex: O-200 instead of Rotax engine) led to a heavier plane. Full fuel payload was just 300 lbs.
Skycatcher was doomed to failure from the beginning for being too heavy (a big problem for an LSA). It didn't help that there are better LSA for less money. Why pay a premium for the Cessna name...
And Boeing Air Transport. That would look great on an A320. :)
Assuming you are on United, you can go from SFO Terminal 3 (United domestic) to the International Terminal G wing without exiting the secure zone.
The A320 is six inches wider than the 737. For a guy with big shoulders, that extra inch of elbow room is a big deal, except for airlines like DL and UA that put 737 seats in their A320s because...
The Blues and T-Birds are both very good at what they do. They both fly incredibly close, incredibly precise, extremely boring routines.
The diamond pass can't compare to the Canada Goose pass or...
Both of them are lame compared to the Snowbirds. 9 planes instead of 6 and the Snowbirds fly slower jets that don't take three counties to turn around. Snowbirds are in view the entire show. Blues...
Ironically, older planes often have better useful load than newer ones. New ones come with lots of fancy (and heavy) extras. I can put four in an old Archer no problem with fuel to the tabs, but...
Pegasus Field is NZPG. McMurdo also has NZWD (Williams Field) and NZIR (Ice Runway).
Amundsen-Scott Station (South Pole) is NZSP.
Since they don't want to make the rule public, would a FOIA request work to get it?

I was on a United flight soon after the Continental merger was completed and the crew was all wearing "Ex-Con" pins (including one FA who had bedazzled it) and included the fact that they were a...
So sad. Paved paradise to put up a parking lot.
SFO Museum (landside, behind Terminal A gates security) has a bunch of rotating exhibits. Last time I was there, it was the history of UA FA outfits.
SFO also has a rotation of exhibits...
Awhile back, I was flying LGA-ATL on Eastern (I said it was awhile back) and we had to stop for fuel somewhere in the Carolinas (maybe CLT?). I have no idea how we didn't have enough fuel to make...
The new livery doesn't work on the A319. The /American is too big. They should scale it so it stays in front of the wing.
They should paint the winglets/sharklets/wingthingies too, since those...
You hear ATC sending the planes on Tower Freq around and passing them back to Approach on the liveatc clips. The ones still on Approach just get vectored as needed. Tower usually only has a few...
The 'forgetting' the repo paperwork was an obvious setup.
As for knowing the range of the Baron, they said they had been tracking it for several days, and if they know the tanks were topped at the...
The fake drama was a bit much, but nice scenery.
The Lear with gear issues would have had the trucks rolled if they had really declared an emergency. In one of the b-roll shots of it on take-off,...
There have been several fuel tank fires on the ground. A fuel tank fire on an old worn out 747 isn't hard to believe. I'm really surprised all the people believing the missile theory.
Something about the BA scheme really seems to make planes look good. The BA scheme even makes the A380 look good.
YVR has a decent viewing area from the domestic terminal, land side. If you time the SkyTrain just right, get a good view of arrivals/departures from the bridge. YVR gets a fair bit of Asian...
New names often get added for new approaches. With all the new RNAV approaches, there have been a lot of new waypoints added in the past few years. The FAA office that comes up with the name has a...
Pan Am v7.0, because the previous six versions worked out so well.
(I think the count is up to seven companies trying to build an airline on the Pan Am name. Not all the tries got around to...
