BTW: Sprint's Delta discount and the EVO 4G can't be beat. Unlimited $74.95 a month with the insurance that covers loss & breakage.

I have been paying Verizon $94.95 a month for their unlimited plan. Being a cheap pilot, I can see a reason ($20) to change.

Del-e-ted. Glad someone else posted on APC. Thought the N Koreans had struck, or the Rapture happened and I got left behind, or just as bad, I was the only guy without a green slip today.
You're close. This is the caption on airliners.net:
"...I have observed many crosswind arrivals in LAS, some a bit hairy but none quite like this one. Flight 1850 flailing wildly on approach from MSP had to abandon the effort after several steep side to side swings and and a strong upward surge. The second approach was not much better but at least successful. It is not too often I become concerned for my own personal safety while spotting! Funny just after this the DE heavy turned out the approach and was seen circling east over the valley to take the 19's instead..."
I suppose that if you log enough picture-taking time in parking lots next to runways, eventually you become a little like an honorary pilot...

Not me, I gave them away. Hey kid, why don't you take the whole bag and just give them to your friends. OK, I didn't really, but the thought crossed my mind. I wonder how much those kits cost. Maybe save the kits and give us the money instead, na, that will never happen different pot o money.
Or so a friend tells me....

Watch that seat, co-pilots
Report: Co-pilot moved seat, sent jetliner plummeting
An Air India Express 737, similar to this one, was saved from crashing when co-pilot used emergency code to get back into the cockpit.
The co-pilot of an Air India Express 737 sent the jetliner into a terrifying 7,000-foot plunge in May when he accidentally hit the control column while adjusting his seat, investigators report.
According to the report from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the co-pilot panicked and was unable to execute the proper procedures as the jetliner dropped from 37,000 feet at a 26-degree angle. The plane and its 113 passengers were saved when the pilot, who’d gone on a bathroom break, used an emergency code to get into the locked cockpit, jumped back into his seat and grabbed the controls to bring the plummeting plane out of its dive.
The aircraft would have broken apart if the descent had continued, the aviation agency report said. The aircraft was not damaged and no one was injured, the report said.
After the pilot, 39, regained control of the plane, he told passengers, who were in the middle of a meal when the jet plunged, that the plane had “went through an air pocket and that is why there was a rapid descent,” according to the report.
The aviation agency report concluded that the 25-year-old co-pilot had not been trained in the specific scenario the jet encountered and “probably had no clue to tackle this kind of emergency.”

This is what over controlling a 757 and getting into PIO's look like:
If you find yourself completely out of phase with your control inputs to aircraft movement, you might be doing something wrong... and might end up as the second most viewed picture on airliners.net!

It's that, or NewK was bored on his day off so he flew the 757 for old times sake.

I'm here. Our daughter slept past 9am, so I'm a little behind. Not complaining though!!
I wonder who's paying for the Wifi installation in the RJs. I could see either Delta paying (and taking most of the revenue) or the operator paying and getting less, because it's Delta's customers.
