Jump to postThe Prophet said if two Muslims are calling each other an apostate one of them is right. ISIS has more or less marked 200 million Shia's for death. Most other Sunni Muslims will not condemn them because ISIS are practicing what Muhammad practiced and they see it as the most pure form of Islam.

Jump to postFlew on that flight many times, I wonder if it is the one contracted to DFS that most contractors use to get to and from Afghanistan. The Iranians are going to be pissed when they find beer on the plane along with many USA passports.
Jump to postIf oil prices drop dramatically a company like Allegiant with its fleet of ancient 160 passenger MD-80's could come out looking real good, since they get them for pennies on the dollar and fill them up. Might be bad news for Airbus and Boeing.

Jump to postThe higher the horsepower output on a piston engine the higher the failure rate, there's a reason you still see more single radials Pratts flying than the multi radials. Just look at the problem of the CAF's B-29 Fifi, its always engines keeping them on the ground.
