Re: Sat-Nav....Has This Happened To You?

I always find it worrying that Monkey World is quite so close to the Tank Museum, both of which are a top day out in my book I just don't want them to combine any time soon.

Re: Farnborough Air Show.

I'd say the main problem is that post Shoreham the restrictions on air shows make it impossible to have the sort of dynamic displays the public expect at Farnborough due to the surrounding built up areas. That would probably have seen the public days declining in popularity so the decision to end th...

Re: Heated Runways?

Unlikely, but they've probably got a few snow ploughs to hand which is more than the UK usually has!

Re: Decision height ? Sea level!

I'm guessing some form of carrier ILS at work? I'm not sure what system the French use, but the US has a Precision Landing System that uses a combination of radar and Microwave Landing System to provide extremely high precision guidance. They are also rolling out "Magic Carpet" which will...

Re: Wrong Service but .........

I made the mistake of continuing on to an item titled(ish) "The 10 worst british aircraft" or similar from a site called Hushkit.net The site is interestingly informative driven by a very dry sense of humour. Titled as The Alternative Aviation Magazine it is well worth a look but be warne...

Re: Firefly for FSX

Prices are hard to fix as one site charges and pays in Euros, the other in the first currency I selected. So keeping them consistent was a challenge, I'm hoping to add a couple of other sites in the next few days to give people options. There's also an update to one of the gauges which affects loadi...
