Perfect weather in Minneapolis yesterday evening for the duration of the eclipse:

There's a possible explanation: http://youtu.be/Qfu1Ux1tX6A?t=52

This reminds me, in a way, of United 232 -- which was a very similar failure IIRC.

The blue zone is for loading and unloading only, right?

I'll just drop this here.

:lol: :thumbup:

Absolutely! :) Because after all, it's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether.

Cool, thanks for the update! I had some questions, but carefully reading your changelog answered them quite nicely. As usual I have a roster of astronauts whom have been spending their time doing public appearances and educational outreaches. This news will be sure to boost morale in the...

With the slide canopy, not so much of an issue. 2VU and I are not tall and I think we're still young enough that creative maneuvering won't cause a regrettable situation. :lol: With density altitude, though, yes. I could see issues either getting over the Rockies or slugging our way through...

I can just see it. By the time we get to Blythe the aircraft is already grumbling like that camel in Spies Like Us.

You're going to win the O-F long distance XC award, Mojo, by a longshot if we do. :)

I saw an opportunity to say hello properly, at any rate even if it was hideously late. Hence "еще раз" -- 'again'. :)

Ну, здравствуйте (еще раз) и добро пожаловать! :hello:

Sweet. :) That lapdesk you purchased -- have you got a link? I'm probably shorter than you and need a booster seat in order to see above the glareshield of an Archer, much less a Skyhawk and I may need something like that in the future. ;)

Today was a good day -- after years of wrangling back and forth I finally found the wherewithal and time to go ahead and take my first .7 hrs of flight instruction. First impressions: :woohoo: Once I stopped convincing myself (and trying to prove to myself) I knew what I was doing, I was able...

I dunno -- kinda looks like it hit a tree head-on. But I suppose if the numbers are to be believed, the look could be completely justified. ;)

II: :salute:

You're soloing in that thing? You're braver than I thought! :lol: Seriously though -- when the time is right, the time is right. The only thing I feel would be meaningful to say is this: take your time, enjoy the experience, feel the synergy, think things through and don't be surprised if that...

I used to do it the long way with the scenario editor: * Raise the ship's SMa to a ridiculously high number. * Lower the Ecc(entricity). * Repeat steps 1 and 2 -- with step 1 raising the SMa by smaller amounts as needed. What you'll see as you do this is twofold: the ship's altitude with...

A Vorlon.
