Reminds me of that Star Trek episode “The Trouble with Tribbles” 🙂
I love your cartoon about the hamsters on the flight. It’s now a feature on my Man Cave wall. Great stuff!
Hi
Why don’t you cover the major airlines boycotting Israel Tel Aviv service ?
are they boycotting or just following safety instructions ? what is your opinion ?
Enjoy your cast
I flew on flight 9-3-2024 UA1840 Denver to SLC 11-45- am Arrive 1-20-pm I cain’t stop re living this takeoff. I video almost every takeoff and landing of course this one I did not. I have been flying 4 to 6 times a year primaraly international Thailand etc This take off I did it think we would get off the ground, I started to get very nervous then when we began to lift off he pulled back it felt like we were nearly completely vertical after maybe 2 secounds plane began to shake and you could hear the the engines began to to rev full throttle plane began to vibrate and shake. I thought the engines were going to die we started to loose momentem I was waiting for him to level it out but we trying to climb and started to veer to the right . I think at this point he backed off the throttle an slowly corrected the plane both vertically and horizontally. Is it possible to re track this flight and see if was as I described or I may be loosing it. I don’t want any reprisals and I’m not complaining but I trust you judgement etc .Thank You RW
I can’t seem to get the episodes on YouTube anymore. Is that a kown issue, or just something with my account?
anyone here look at Flight radar24s ADS -b FLIGHT RADAR HOSTS RECEIVERS? I was wondering if anyone has put a receiver at their location…does it interfere with your data limits and does it FREEZE at all etc?
