  1. You could try taking it up with the Air Force and Navy; they hot fuel airplanes loaded with passengers mid-flight. Non-stops It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  2. From your own quote. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  3. I guess the guy's point is that TWA 800 couldn't have been taken down by an exploding fuel tank. I guess as a corollary we can deduce that crashing airliners don't catch on fire and explode. Another conspiracy theory shot to hell! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  4. Hot fueling is a normal procedure, it's in the POH. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  5. When Perry says, "Our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school," what he really means is "we can't force kids to pray in school." There's no law that says kids can't pray in school. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  6. I wish I could give a shit, but it seems that most of the time I'm either taking shit or taking a shit! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  7. The real humor is in the comments. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  8. I hope for the pilot's sake it happened that way, but if it did happen that way I'm sure it would've been reported as such. So far, the only version seems to be that she got of the plane started to walk away and then turned around to go back and thank the pilot and walked into the prop. I do think it's interesting that the preliminary accident report lists the pilot as a "wiitness." ETA: I found this quote from the FAA. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

  10. Or, maybe he should have shut down the engine while an unescorted passenger got out at night. It makes absolutely no sense for a pilot to leave the engine running on a Husky (tandem seat taildragger) in this situation. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  11. 1) You don't NEED 200 jumps to jump a camera, it's RECOMMENDED per USPA, but... 2) ...the recommendation is not 200 jumps, it's a C-License. 3) Flying above and behind someone is not a good place to be whether or not you have a camera. 4) Avoiding a canopy collision, usually involves trying to [B]AVOID[/I] a canopy collision, which this jumper made no attempt to do. Maybe someday, somebody will decide that it's actually in the best interests of the sport to create a camera "endorsement" for jumpers that want to use small format cameras. Until then, the sport will preach abstinence over education as if that's the answer to every situation. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  12. He berated you mercifully? Well, good thing it wasn't done mercilessly! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  13. Where's the fun in that? In the History and Trivia board! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  14. He was a Major General and there was some racial parody involved with that segment. Yes, but was he the very model of a modern Major General? It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  15. He also appeared in a couple episodes of 'Gunsmoke'. The man was a remarkable actor. If, he was in it... it was good. Chuck and he played the piano player in "Frankie and Johnny" with Elivs Does anyone remember his first appearance on MASH when he guest starred as a crazy Colonel who tried to Court Martial Pierce? Still laugh when I think of him dancing out of the courtroom! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  16. That makes it even more strange, it's hard enough climbing in the back seat of those things with no pilot, why would he stay seated and make her climb out even more difficult? and, why would a pilot need to keep an engine running in a Husky while off-loading a passenger?

  17. This was probably just practice for when we declare war on Ireland! First, Dublin, California and then the world! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  18. I hope you're not trying to win a Darwin Award! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  19. What was the stunt? It seems like two jumpers were just flying together and the second jumper was too close entrail when the first jumper hit the brakes. Second jumper just "rear-ended" the first jumper. It looks like an accident; a preventable accident but a number of different factors coming together at once to create the outcome.

  20. I hope he pees better than this. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  21. It will never happen. The judicial branch gets to make its own rules per The Constitution. Who gets to interpret The Constitution? SCOTUS. End-of-argument. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  22. Answer- Any more questions? What's really amazing is how the article is so far above Yahoo's usual standards. It even has an in depth explanation of what the "object" really is. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  23. Full story: Post-Gazette If you found a bank bag full of money on the side of the road, would you return it to the bank? Man, some people miss the obvious!!! $100,000+ got dumped on a freeway and the cops only gave back $400 of it! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  24. RIFLES? Who would be stupid enough to let TSA have rifles? It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
  25. Thats a two-way street though. Regardless of how ridiculous this whole situation was there is still a rule in place, and if that girl was too stupid to follow a simple rule she deserved to go through the pain of being delayed. Has it ever occured to you that sometimes it's the rule that's stupid? Even the Brady camp doesn't have any plans to require a waiting period and background check to purchase an image of a gun.
