SwissVan Posted September 3, 2020 Share Nutx! American Flight 1997: “Tower, American 1997, we just passed a guy in a jetpack.”Tower: “American 1997, OK, thank you. Were they off to your left or right side?”American Flight 1997: “Off the left side, maybe 300 yards or so, about our altitude.” Skywest Flight: “We just saw the guy passing by us in the jetpack.” Then the tower alerted an incoming Jet Blue flight to the reported hazard:Tower: “Jet Blue 23, use caution, a person in a jetpack reported 300 yards south of the LA final at about 3,000 feet, 10 mile final.”Jet Blue 23: “Jet Blue 23, we heard and we are definitely looking.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted September 3, 2020 Share What sort of range do these things have? He's been been doing circuits and bumps for a while now.Capture.PNG That's a relatively old King Air B300 (s/n FL64) so i would guess max 3000 km depending on how heavy it is (electronic equipment for the surveys) ...just a guess though Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted September 17, 2020 Share When we start imitating birds and animals there's hope for the human race. Thinking about it, this isn't the same as drafting in the peleton. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/airbus-formation-flight/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bateleur1 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Does anyone know why some flights take such a long way around?Capture.PNGCapture1.PNGThis is now, Yesterday there were a few more doing the same. It is actually not the long way around. It is taking the shortest route actually. That aircraft is on his way to San Fransisco which as you know is on the West coast of the states. So if you take a globe and draw the shortest line from Dehli to the West coast of North America, you would actually draw it straight over the North Pole or past that on the other side of Europe. This now needs to be plotted on a flat map and that makes it look like a hell of a detour but it is not. The same for the Quantas flight from Sydney do Joburg. It actually flies over the South pole and approaches SA anything between PE and Richards bay to Joburg. Here someone explains it better than me ...https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/flight-paths-and-great-circles-why-are-great-circles-the-shortest-flight-path/ Bonus and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
