I lived near a helicopter landing field and sometimes Chinooks would fly straight over my house. That's just the coolest sound *evar*

concorde used to land in the town where i grew up. hearing that thing take off is a whole other kinda sound! a B-52 is like an ultralight compared to that sound...

Yes, but you can't compare driving a car to flying in a plane. The difference in the amount of control i may have in what happens is 50% compared to 0%. I don't like those odds.

Hehe, Lelystad my old hometown. And I never visited Aviodrome :-\ although I passed it almost every day. Ah well, now I can see the planes take off over the Singapore Straits.

DrumAnBass: Yeah, the DC-3 is another favorite, I love the sound :) Still, it's just a little more common then the Conny IMHO...

and actually they are still used for work. i believe just in the US there are about 6 or so used for short haul transport. and there are still inventories of new parts!

The terrorists did their job well and i will not go out like that, i just can't do it.
Going through what those people went through is a hell on earth i never want to put myself in position to experience that no matter how safe they say things are or what the chances are that something like that will ever happen again.
These people are not done with us, unfortunately.

Our mental state has changed. Nobody is taking over a plane armed with a razor knife ever again. This belongs in a P&R thread, not here.
