  1. I've never heard of Patricia, but having listened to the video you linked to, can appreciate the deep loss of such a lovely person and her voice. It is a tragic loss for the music world. Here is a tribute to her memory made on the day of her funeral:
  2. This is wicked strange! I never knew about this until today. 😜

    Kelsey is a hoot! I enjoy watching his shenanigans.

    Why We Sim

    YouTube, of course! I watched a video yesterday where one "influencer" spent $1 million for a series of aircraft flights for himself and three of his friends, culminating by chartering an entire BBJ for just the four of them! Each had a private bedroom... Yikes! 🤯
  5. Yes, that is exactly what happens. BTW, clicking on the "Watch on YouTube" link will allow the movie to play.

    Why We Sim

    It must be nice to be so rich as to own dozens of exotic cars, as well as several aircraft.
  7. Does my rabid aversion to "rectal probes" count as at least anecdotal proof? 🤔
  8. The simple solution is to spawn a new thread and provide a link in the original thread.

    Congratulations to Cleetus for winning the light sport class.
  10. I'm truly surprised that they haven't torn down the terminal/FBO and the tower!
  11. Although not found in the Terms of Service, the very description of the Hangar Chat forum politely enjoins participants to "Please refrain from controversial topics...politics, religion, conspiracy theories, climate change, COVID etc.", is explicitly disallowed as a subject matter for discussion. Although thus far the discussion has been polite and informative, rules need to be enforced or they become pointless. As a result, I am going to reluctantly close and lock this thread before it inevitably goes off the rails entirely. As one may have gathered, this very topic is of interest to me primarily because of my vocation. At the seminary, we proto-priests had some very interesting and sometimes tense debates. 😇😇
  12. Both pilots lost situational awareness having to monitor/use seven com channels, watch the live video screen, and give a play-by-play commentary, it's no wonder they failed to "aviate..."
  13. Although this accident occurred several years ago, I was not aware of it until this evening. Aside from the five news helicopters there was a police helicopter covering the chase of a suspect trying to avoid capture while driving dangerously in stolen vehicles. Compounding the confusion, the pilots of the news helicopters were required to multi-task to a ridiculous degree, even down to providing the live commentary! The latter meant that the pilots had to keep their eyes on a monitor installed on the left side of the instrument panel, instead of his primary responsibility to keep situational awareness of the other helicopters!!! 😱
  14. I was wondering after reading the "Subject" how big a drone would have to be to actually hold an entire display airborne! 😉

    I've found that dehydrated water is much easier and lighter to carry for emergencies... 🤭
  16. What any hypothetical scientists might see would be our past history of course, which could be several centuries up to many thousands of years ago!
  17. Somehow I don't think I would enjoy such a snail's pace voyage across an ocean. I'd likely enjoy more watching paint dry on my living room's walls... 🤪
  18. Yet another reason why I wouldn't have any Apple products even if they were FREE!!!
  19. That was awful! I cannot fathom why anyone would pay a subscription to view/listen this drek!
  20. Remember Trevor Jacob? The YouTuber who parachuted out of his Taylor Craft airplane after claiming he had an engine problem? Well, he recently plead guilty to obstruction of a federal investigation and will have to serve up to two years in prison for his ill-thought-out stunt! Needless to say, he has already lost his pilot license. There may well be other charges as different agencies weigh their options... His friend with the helicopter who carried the wreckage back to his airport may well wind up being charged in the coverup as well.
  21. The image is 404 apparently.
  22. That's the truth, eh. At first glance I thought it might be real, but then I noted that there's no way that A380 would be able to rotate that fast!
  23. That is unknown, as none of the comments cited which simulator was used. At a guess, I would suspect it was indeed MSFS... 🤓
  24. The very first YouTube comment reads:
