Re: Remembrance Day 11/11/17 18:00 UTC LFAQ Albert Somme

I am in. As creature of habit, chances are, I pick the Albatros again though. But you have also that new one Fokker D.VII?

Re: Open letter to Hooray.

Yeah, but if we want to discuss technology here (and to throw in one of my favorites too, aerospace history) we need first to get all the people back we lost to Discord. So, how do we do that?

Re: How flying seriously messes with your mind

Oh, you didn't know that?

Dooh, now I have to unpack all the things I learned in the 70s and 80s and put them out as "new" ... naaaah, too lazy!

Re: The Festival of FlightGear, November '17

And so it ends, the November 2017 Festival in Italy! Despite lesser promotion, it was lively, Genoa, where I was ATC, had some traffic and, noticeable, no rude outbreaks from anybody. Who knows, maybe it has to do something with Curtis' forum not promoting the Festival? Still, FG has become a small ...

Re: When 'psycho' automation left this pilot powerless

Sorry that I made a joke about the holy cows of the Boeing and Airbus factions. Usually, aircraft are more technical than sacrosanct things. And on a rather general point of view, there have been throughout history always phases of an uncritical belief in technology. Usually, those beliefs got broke...

Re: How flying seriously messes with your mind
