Being an airline guy prior to going to UPT, I found it comical that the USAF taught/approved us "direct" to a fix, using DME, an RMI, and the bottom half of your pencil. In a T-38, doing 10NM/min.
I didn't explain that method very well. Probably about as well as my "directs" looked on a radar scope.
If you remember doing this, I guess you understood it, sort of.

At this point the trajectories of Bombardier and Dornier start to overlap.
For Bombardier the C-Series is the corporate equivalent of the DO 728/928
LH was again the launch customer, but few other orders trickled in.
For Dornier, just like for Bombardier the bread-and-butter plane orders dried up. At this point Bombardier's order backlog is minuscule and the promised profits from the C-Series are far away...
Boeing doing the 737-7MAX just put another nail in the coffin for the C-Series.
Bombardiers saving grace is the Q400 and the corporate portfolio...

Actually tha article or another puts ATR backlog at 250 for the -600 series, the Q400 is sitting at 40. Bombardier is having problems selling the planes and the Q400 is pretty darn expensive. Probably does well for CAL because of scope issues but I doubt it's their first choice.

I have too many to choose from, but since I'm already in the MODs doghouse, I'll have to pass this 'head'er on to someone else.

Apparently there was a aircraft that crashed in to the grandstands at the Reno Air Race.
I know of a few of our pilots that are there.
