Anyone for a T-shirt with the outline of your favorite airplane, and your home state and its flag?: http://www.sportys.com/wrightbros/north-carolina-state-with-airplane-t-shirts.html
In one thread or another, there was something about wooden airplanes such as Bellancas. I mentioned once reading an article on Bellancas entitled You Can Trust A Tree.
It turns out I misremembered. Here is a photo of the article. The aircraft was actually the Jeffair Barracuda.
Here’s CNN Money on Qantas retiring its six 747s earlier than expected, and a nice short film on “the new Golden Age of Aviation”: Qantas will retire its Boeing 747 fleet earlier than planned
Flying writer and editor-in-chief, AOPA Pilot publisher and editor-in-chief, and author, Richard Collins, has died at the age of 84.
Old 747s are finding new careers as cargo planes: MSN
The majority of freighters are actually converted airliners, not purpose-built. The low capital cost for equipment that has no more value in the passenger market more than makes up for the conversion cost.
It is rolled almost inverted to the left and the nose is about 6º up, not down (the nose is represented by the little yellow dot between the yellow lines). It would look like that during a roll. Any aerobatic plane would see attitudes like that but they don’t always have an attitude indicator. When we do our 6 monthly simulator checks we practice unusual attitude recovery and sometimes see attitudes like that, and often much worse.
If it was in a steep inverted spiral dive the display would be mainly brown (ground) so that the yellow dot of the nose was on say the 50º line in the brown section. I’m not sure about little GA AIs like the one in the picture, but on an airliner there will always be some sky shown so you can easily see the quickest way to straight and level flight.
Yes, which makes me a little sceptical when discussing pilotless aircraft and people suggest they would first be used in the freight market. Sure it would make sense to use them without passengers until the public get used to the idea, but freight companies aren’t well known for purchasing brand new aircraft with the latest technology, normally the opposite.
Should be scary. :eek:
F-35 fighter jets get their first taste of combat, flying with the Israeli Air Force: https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/22/politics/f-35-fighter-jet-combat-israel/index.html
Emergency landing in Huntington Beach, CA. The plane is a 2014 Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
Dashcam footage here.
Engine was still at idle after she stopped.
Great flying.
Really wonder what the emergency was and if it was tested.
Don’t think it was a PVT student but a pilot working on and advanced license. Could/probably still considered a student.
I was always learning my entire flying life…
I go Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm about this. 
Never mind the cars, just look at all the overhead wires on either side!
Are windowless planes the future of travel? I doubt it: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/emirates-windowless-planes/index.html
Student pilot, may have pulled the mixture instead of the throttle. Just a guess.
Well, if it was an old C-175, I might bet it was a mixture knob confusion. I am very glad they did not do that in any ongoing way. I had nuff troubles in a Baron. Never got to fly one but once and I was real careful about actually looking at the knobs I was putting my hands on. Bawahahaha
She did a good job for a student with the actual arrival. Nay new on if it was flown out or dissembled??
Pilot from midair colision over the Susitna River laid to rest in cockpit of dream plane
Personally, a Cherokee 180 wouldn’t be my choice. But then, my primary ‘dream plane’ is a particular 172K so he may have had reasons for liking the Cherokee so much.
Recently a plane flew overhead towards LSE (La Crosse, WI). It looked like it could be a Beech Starship, but checking flight aware it was a Piaggio P 180
Still an unusual looking plane.

Aren’t they pretty quick also?
It was coming in for a landing, so the plane was not going very fast.
