Re: Evidence Shows Gun Control Works

Trolley Square. February 12, 2007. Proof that good people with concealed firearms can have a tremendously beneficial effect on the outcome of a malicious mass shooting. Trolley Square, as just one example, could have been much, much worse. Let's do what we can to keep terrorists from hurting us. But...

RE: Do Pilots And Cabin Crew Like The Embraer?

Any cabin crew think it's annoying on the E175s that the strobes are positioned on the back of the wing such that if any windows are open they flash bright light into the cabin all night long? I vehemently dislike that as a pax and haven't experienced it on other aircraft.

RE: Curious About "T" Tops

Since we're loving on the 727, one of my flight instructors has 50,000+ hours in his lifetime. He's flown a bunch of different aircraft, including several jumbos. He says his two favorites to fly have been the Piper Comanche and the 727.

I miss seeing (and hearing) the 727s around.
