Awesome stuff you see on the internet

My recollection of flying in the 60's and 70's is nothing like that Pan Am shot. Much prefer it today - entertainment systems alone make flying so much more bearable. I remember the days when in flight entertainment stopped and finished with the paperback you brought with you.
Plus far greater range. The first time I flew to London there were three stopovers! and the smoking.
You always got the Air NZ lolly though.
My old man used to talk about flying to Auckland on a flying boat in the 50's. Took about seven hours and he never left the bar. Said it was fantastic you had a proper stand up bar - only sat for take off and landing.

@jegga Yup!
Jacinda has said NZ will not provide him any assistance to get him back here (given he has no passport, or money)
Listening to a bit on the radio about him, apparently he got in trouble with ISIS for breaking some of thier rules...like drinking alcohol, making alcohol..can take the boy out of Hamilton...

It's probably really fucking hard to get Bourbon and Coke tins in Syria or whichever dusty shithole he was hanging out in.

@jegga said he really wanted a slave.
Did he think they would pick on her instead of him? He's dumber than I thought if he believed that .

Elon Musk is by far the coolest billionaire on Twitter
I laughed way too hard at that. What an absolute champion.

the story of Cathay Pacific flight 780
An awful lot more to that story. It wasn't a double engine failure for starters. One failed and the other was "stuck" at a middle range power setting that the pilots couldn't change, hence the high speed landing.
I know both of the pilots and they did an amazing job.
I have had a go in a sim myself and got it to a stop safely as well but fucking scary.
