Behold the Rabbit of Caerbannog!

Would the Castle Anthrax scene get me banned?

Jesse's been cliff diving for a long time. He finally made a bad jump.
Kinda like the chick at 4:20 of this video.

Moral of the story: Worry less about your bikini top and more about your angle of attack.




Girls in bikinis sometimes fail:




More bikini fails:

Quoting the old tanker manual, "Flying two aircraft in close vertical proximity is inherently dangerous."

Whaaat? Jesse banned? No underboob!?!?

Best friends sister's cousin's brother told me we can't grow LAX because we don't have enough gates?

RA says we will NOT merge with Alaska! cough cough................ (standby for merger)

And the super duper secret information is that SWA is going to buy United!!!

That's all rumor that I heard from my neighbor's wife whose husband is a LCA!

Has anyone today said what a total POS DeltaNet is! I can log in, but every link I click just logs me back out. Usually that is a short term deal, but today I can't do ANYTHING related to DeltaNet.

The AWCAS was unstable (receiver's fault) and the boom operator initiated the contact when the receiver was unstable (tanker's fault). It looks like there was either an inner or upper limit disconnect (compressing the boom). However, after the disconnect, notice the AWCAS moves downward (too fast actually). This causes a low pressure between the airplanes. The tanker's autopilot senses that low pressure and assumes a climb (higher pressure down low, lower pressures up high) and starts trimming to counteract those forces. But the trim rate cannot keep up with what the autopilot is sensing and the autopilot abruptly disconnects. This causes an immediate nose down pitch change caused by the now out of trim tanker (remember the autopilot thought it was climbing due to the low pressure and was trimming nose down). The tanker then quickly dives into the receiver until the pilots can react. And as such, the receiver gets a very close and uncomfortable view of the tanker's tail. The KC-135 is very susceptible to this -- the KC-10 is not. Any large receiver moving up or down too fast most likely will cause the KC-135 autopilot to kick off. I have had it happen at night while in the weather. I was flying a KC-10 receiving gas from a KC-135. I could have sworn my co-pilot had yanked the controls and pitched us up into the tanker when in reality, it was the tanker coming down towards us. It was one of the more scarier moments I've experienced in flight.

I haven't had any problems today. You on the road or at home?

There's an expanded & updated set of LCA meeting notes on the DALPA Forums. Good stuff.
