The Red Arrows was also quite something to experience. Makes the Silver Falcons look like an Old Age Walking ring dance competition.

My dogs now exactly when I am comming home on one of my bikes. They know exactly the sound of the two freehubs. We are on the second floor but my wife will know if I have returned long before I walk into the door.

I actually would hope that this clip gets the attention of the police and maybe the driver as I am sure he could be charged and held responsible for damage to the car and while they are at it also lay charges of defamation. Wonder if you could lay charges for stupidity as well for causing problems, filming it and posting it on the web.

Gen you made me look for the puppy photos of mine. I should actually be working now ... Going for twelve years now

Hey look ... a pair of ears with a dog attached to it. Love this age with them.

I joined the relive clan. Here is my ride I did this past Saturday. Not a long one as I had too much to do for the day but still a fun ride. https://www.relive.cc/view/gh39099759770

One can only but hope that that plane is a write off.

Your location says Groot Brakrivier. So where is your problem? Go for it.

My GSD became an oversized lap dog since I started working from home. She likes parking under the table by my feet. Took this picture a few weeks ago.

Hey sorry DJR.

This was a funny comment ... "Heroic indeed. But the fact that it was an Airbus 321 and not Boeing 737 Max added to the luck of the passengers"

Help me out here ... what is CCM?

I think the whole plane would be scrapped in anyway. The only mission here was to get everybody out of it alive.

Talking out of ignorance here but my logic says that it would have been more problematic with the gear down. They most certainly would have dug in and snapped right of and the chances of the fuel tanks being ruptured increased and with that bigger fire hazard.

Me thinks the pilot did pretty good job of getting the plane back on the ground.

There was actually an accident there earlier in the year ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYwqfNqy9GU

Not so much. Just over 1300 m. Had a head wind for most of the route and the traffic around the lakes were worse than Kalkbay on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

When on a ride into some of the mountains. Wanted to explore a little backroad that I have never been on before. I will be riding this route more often. Not the fittest at the moment and was totally buggered after the ride but it was just so nice.

Almost from my home town to my new home town

O donner.

Some entertaining videos on the toppic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irTizOVM-3U This clip you can clearly see the glowing brakes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g6UswiRCF0

Many years ago there was a Hubber here (can't remember the name now) who was a 737 pilot for SAA (propably still is). He posted pics of a 737 that he was taking off with at ORT when they struck something like 5 Hadidas. So they had to abort the take off. Aparently after they aborted the takeoff, ATC actually asked them if they wanted to stop as soon as they rolled off the runway on which they crew replied they would like to keep the aircraft moving and they should find them a spot at the terminal where they can park. The need to keep the aircraft moving until the brakes have cooled down otherwise they could risk the whole assembly to melt together and then that plane is not going anywhere.

Iphone on the SAA flight. Galaxy Note 7 was on the BA flight ...
