Shuttle Atlantis cockpit landing video

Shuttle Landing From the Cockpit: This video looks through the HUD (Heads Up Display) on Atlantis's flight deck. You'll hear flight deck audio of three astronauts interacting. The video starts at about FL830 (83,000 ft), mach 2.5 velocity at 1.1 Gs. You'll hear the term H A C (Heading Alignment Cylinder) used a lot. It's the shuttle's version of a traffic pattern to line up with the runway center-line. It is a circular instead of rectangular pattern. Landing is a team sport, as you'll see.

Here's another one. It's in French but you can figure it out.

Use the left right arrows for speed, the up down arrows to fly. The idea is to slow down to the blue speed range then scoop up water. Speed up and use the spacebar to dump on the fire.

Okay, it's sort of aviation related. Try not to play it all night....

Finally arrived

For all of you who have been asking where my plane is, it is no longer in Okotoks. The Tecnam got flown to King George March 12. Sebastian couldn't make it this time because he had to take pictures of my landing at King George and one day I can get a picture of it.

The trip took 4.8 hours air time going through Rogers Pass which was a bit tricky since FSS did not know that it was snowing as they don't have any real reporting stations in the vicinity. Even the one at Revelstoke is automated. It was a bit cool in the Pass and at Revelstoke but at least fuel is available 24/7 there. However, you can get real mogas at for our Rotax's at Salmon Arm. 

Don't forget the Vargas fly-out planned for April 4 from King George.

Free? Really?

I was driving in from Coquitlam this afternoon and I saw this. Is this for real?
