OT. Two Aces

They just said kill but since these things are small fractions of a micron, the U/V probably goes right through. They do talk about half life tho. (screen shot from the presentation)

He is talking about just picking a random golf course and trying to scare the people on the ground. I know lots of pilots and they would all say he was nuts. I do understand if you are at the end of a runway, planes will be low. US41 at the end of the runway at page field is only about 50 feet under the planes when they land and they were landing regional jets here when I first moved here. (727s, 737s, MD80s etc). It was exciting when you were stuck at a light watching them come in, wondering if they were going to make it. That makes that little hang glider Rod has look pretty tame.

Ours isnt, its off the side of the main runway with the terminal and hangers between it and the main runway.

We arent that stupid at country airports.

You arent buzzing civilians, you are practicing forced landings.

< I am not sure what they do down there.

We arent that stupid, even if you lot are.

No it doesn't and we know that because some sterilisation is done like that.

Nope, the one next to the airport that has always been used by the aero club for forced landing training.

How odd that the aero club club has used it for that for decades and still does.

It isnt a hang glider, f****it.

FYI - none of those models are, or ever have been, considered regional jets.

Regional refers to the geographical area.

The size of the jet is determined by the popularity of the flight, not the distance.

The term of art in the aviation industry refers to jets with seating capacities less than 75 (mainly due to scope clauses in pilot union contracts). Think CRJ, Embraer et alia.

Jets such as the 727, 737, DC-9 (and successors such as the MD-80/83/90) are considered mainline jets.

Wrong, regional refers to geographical area, not seating capacity of the jet.

You're confused because short-hop flights often use smaller jets but some short-hop flights do in fact use 737s.

For example, Southwest offers 737 service from GRR - MDW.  The flight is only 135 miles.

OK if you say so. I was just differentiating them from the long haul jets like DC10s and 747s.
