(I think it's hilarious about all the bitching and complaining about the power companies voluntarily shutting off power, thereby killing many innocent people, after they all sued the power companies for $6B for previously killing all the innocent people.) My hypothesis is along similar lines. The hippie socialists will exclaim, See? Electric power that isn't wind or solar-generated is evil! They're burning your homes and keeping you in the dark! Your only salvation is to give us control of all the electricity and we'll be green! Renewable! Save the planet! Unicorns will frolic in the redwoods! So, the people of California, those foolish enough to remain, will pay exorbitant costs for unreliable power and spend much of the time in the dark The Silicon Valley oligarchs and Nancy Pelosi will have all of the electrical power they desire, of course. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dric902 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 ++++++ Pilots Philosophy… The difference between a duck and a co-pilot? The duck can fly. A check ride ought to be like a skirt. Short enough to be interesting, but long enough to cover everything. Speed is life. Altitude is life insurance. It only takes two things to fly: Airspeed, and money. The three most dangerous things in aviation: A Doctor or Dentist in a Cessna. Two captains in a DC-9. Aircraft Identification: If it’s ugly, it’s British. If it’s weird, it’s French. If it’s ugly and weird, it’s Russian. Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another very expensive flying club. What do air traffic controllers and pilots have in common? If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies. If ATC screws up, the pilot dies. The difference between flight attendants and jet engines: The engines usually quit whining when they get to the gate. New FAA motto: ‘We’re not happy, till you’re not happy.’ If Air Traffic Control screws up, it’s called a “System Malfunction”, If a pilot screws up it’s called a “violation”. If something hasn’t broken on your helicopter — it’s about to. I give that landing a 9 . . On the Richter scale. Basic Flying Rules: 1. Try to stay in the middle of the air. 2. Do not go near the edges of it. 3. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly in the edges. Unknown landing signal officer (LSO) to carrier pilot after his 6th unsuccessful landing attempt: “You’ve got to land here son. This is where the food is.” 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I think CA burns every year with the Santa Anna winds. People in the rest of the country are numb to it, since it's like hearing that the people living in the flood plains are flooded again. Oddly enough, Rapids City, So. Dakota gets those Chinook (?) winds also. The interesting thing is that will all the emphasis on the fires, little is being said about the upcoming rains causing lots of mud slides "again", on the denuded hills. My first trip to CA I was amazed at how so many of the homes are stuck damned near to the sides of cliffs, then they complain when the mud slides come. My Summer exposure to Mosquitoes seems quite bearable in comparison. Put the houses on stilts on the edge of a bluff in overgrown country. Fire takes out the ground cover. Then the rains have an easier time washing the house down into the bluff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t believe him...boy was I wrong . I spent a lot of time in UH-1s. I swear you could feel them drop a few inches between each revolution of the rotor. It was like riding a washboard across the sky. After flying in them a while, I got my first ride in a Blackhawk. I didn't like the ride. It just didn't feel right. It wasn't until I was back on the ground that I figured out why it bothered me. It rode too damned smoothly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
