    I think we all agree we wouldn’t kick either out bed for eating crackers .
  3. And who says journalism is dead https://www.fox7austin.com/news/small-plane-makes-hard-landing-austin-airport?mibextid=Zxz2cZ#le7o3eqyldf7d7pzh3 This happened while we were inbound to AUS yesterday. 18L was closed for a stretch. If anyone was wondering why commercial traffic was flying low and slow over southwest Austin yesterday, it was because they were down to using 18R for takeoffs and landings for a while. Got a scenic view of Bee Caves and Westlake at 5000’ and 170kts .
  4. I posted the prelim report of the Nepal crash in the Daily Texan thread if anyone’s interested.
  5. Don’t know if this works as an attachment from my phone but the prelim is out. Seems like things went a little south during the landing sequence. I don’t have any ATR time but it seems like feathering the props when they called for flaps 30 is a bad thing. 343.pdf
  6. Yep
  7. RIP Plug 2
  8. This google phone erase tech has potential
  9. Meanwhile on Spotify
  10. However the world needs more Alicia Silverstone
  11. I’m at a twin peaks and they just muted the shitty country music they play for this. What the shit.
  12. Schwing!
  13. Maverick was hilarious. Also back around 1980 they made a couple TV movies based off Louis Lamour’s Sackett characters with Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck. I watched those a few times over the years and they held up well. Always thought Lamour’s books would make for some good series fodder on Amazon or such.
  14. I love how so many “live” performances in the early 80s sound just like the album track. But yeah, great song.
  15. Was she the Schlemiel or the Schlimazel?
  16. AMC sucks. Cinemark is where it’s at. Also if I’m paying AMC a premium it better come with some damn perks.
  17. SIAP but good read on the whole fleet of balloons china has been using https://apple.news/AKCtFoqLwSs6uRBtQ2f6-BA
  18. No mention of his new admirer? She seems stable. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100033467738566&mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.fox4news.com/news/kentucky-mom-says-bryan-kohberger-is-her-divine-masculine-and-claims-she-sent-him-letters-and-dolled-up-pics
  19. Surprisingly, no. Both runways are used for takeoff and landing simultaneously. Depends on the direction of departures and arrivals. However, last month they were doing a trial of landing one and taking off the other.
  20. Agreed on BNA. “Clear to push, waiting on southwest to come around the corner. Southwest:
  21. Yes there is no ramp frequency. Pushbacks are uncontrolled and you don’t talk to ground until you leave the ramp area. Shit like this happens all the time
  22. Here’s the audio
  23. As a pilot I’ve come to loathe AUS from an operational perspective. Mostly because of the ramp, which is uncontrolled and akin to the wild Wild West. But they do love to keep the departures tight. What tower was thinking clearing a takeoff in hard IFR with a heavy on short final… I guess we will find out soon enough. Wonder how much awareness the Southwest guys initially had of what was going on.
