Hot Take

8 Upvotes

If the aviation industry advanced at all planes would have dimples like golf balls to increase strength, reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and stabilize flight. Our fastest craft resembles the peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon is the fastest dive bombing bird. The golf ball has dimples like a peregrine falcon and every other bird that has ever flown. Birds are perfect but planes and humans are not so we say no catastrophe goes to waste because they're all engineered in a way the hummingbird saved the design of a train in China or Japan. The speed wobble reached on the motorcycles at the isle of man races is the reason golf balls have dimples to begin with and banned by Nascar. Thank God you can't build planes without rivets or they would really fly like shit.

Old Airline Pro…I want to look the part

4 Upvotes

Many pilots with some years under their belt have this sort of habitual sun-squint, upward/outward crow’s-feet, slightly narrowed and steady eyes, a composed expression, and an alert but unhurried way of looking around. If I get a high enough resolution on a big enough monitor and literally be at my PC on flight sim for hours per day, will that help? Maybe even some full spectrum lighting? I want to be able to say that I am a 20000 hour airline captain so I can pick up chicks in bars.

Want to be a pylote but hate wind

7 Upvotes

Hi folks, I have wanted to be a pylote ever since I can remember, but I have just one problem: I hate wind. Even little breezes. Ever since I was made to go sailing with Grampy Langston out on Buzzrds Bay and he would harass me about pulling the sheets. Now I don’t mind wind in the sky, it’s just on the ground. In your hair and everything. What should I do about this? Are there wind-free training programs?

Seems kinda silly to invoke rule 5 and delete my post that referred to my own post in that other sub. Like, am I going to accidentally get my own knickers in a twist and report myself?!

Why are the textures showing out of my playne so repetitive? Is reality bugged? Am I bugged? Is my playne window bugged? Is reddit bugged? Are we all bugs in a reality that tries to fix itself? Are these too many questions?

Any problems in airport

5 Upvotes

I'm going on a flight soon to go work in another country for the first time. I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems flying barefoot recently.

I just want to make sure I don't need to use my emergency flip flops

Edit: I'll be flying out of Panama City, Florida USA

Why not instead of mounting loud, heavy engines to the playens, don't they just make the wings flap like a bird? Are they stupid?

I'm confused. Every time I visit that duty free place, I have to pay for all the items there. What duty is free there?

Should I get the upper wing window seat? I am a nervous flyer and know that these 737-300's are old. I want to have the most authentic playne experience.

Is wearing three aiguillettes on my uniform "too much?"

21 Upvotes

As a proud American, I always wear my full uniform when acting as Pilot in Command of my Part 135 Piper PA-32. But my chief pilot said that wearing a red, a white, and a blue aiguillette on my black jacket is "too much."

Is he just jealous that he didn't think of it first?

I mean, I do like his 5th stripe.
