Re: Mystery Aircraft

I used to work down there. Seen some VERY low Hercs about, close to the M50. Certainly brightens up the day when you see the RAF at work! With the recent cutbacks, maybe they should fly at the weekends and have the weekdays off. I'd have a chance to see more of them then!

Re: Aerosoft is working at a new flight sim

:o :o :o I think I understood some of that Paul.. maybe not :think: It was poetry at CBFS! The task of producing a new flight sim is obviously enormous. If M$ struggled to make a good job of it last time around, I doubt any new developer will fare any better. I STILL struggle with the idea that ACE...

Re: American Airlines "new" 737-800 cockpit

AA's installation is different from other aircraft. The horn is present on all aircraft, but normally both the cabin alt and config warnings are only displayed on the EICAS screen. Both Takeoff Config and Cabin Altitude warning horns have been required for years in the US. Aren't the config and cab...

Re: LHR Microwave Landing System

My airband book from 20-odd years ago describes MLS as the next big thing! I thought it was being abandoned, in favour (as CT said) of GPS based systems.
