This message is to let all of you know that the Aviation sector in Dubai is growing steadily. And its a shame Aviation recruitment had no Group. I created one and I hope there'll be many more visitors and subscribers and resumes of members who are on the look out for a job, especially in the UAE.

Anyone have scans of the pictures in any of the Tantalizing Takeoffs calendars? Please contact me at Thanks Edwin

Taxiing in on a just landed United flight at LHR a few weeks ago, I caught a quick glimpse through a window across the cabin of what looked (to a non-expert) like a semi-derelict small-sized "Super Guppy" parked off by a big hangar: fat fuselage, three engines (one huge one up in the tail),...

I have a printed and bound copy of the Lincoln Lab Journal, vol. 16, no. 1, 2006, about 160 glossy color pages devoted primarily to Lincoln Lab activities related to ATC (primarily weather and separation issues). Description of the issue should be on line at ...

Just got our dog a new frisbee (he goes thru 'em pretty fast if we're careless and leave them within reach after a session). This one has a large outer wire rim, small inner ring, and stretched radially between these 8 or 10 tapered spandex wedges (i.e., these wedges get wider as they go radially...

This is totally OT for this group -- except the group contains a lot of obviously clever people who are professionally interested in aerodynamic and fluid flows and pressures, pipes, valves, and the like, and maybe someone will be entertained by the following odd bathroom sink behavior. Our newly...

Can anyone tell me what might have been the detailed route for our RNO-SJC flight today, Mon 28 July, 1:00 to 1:55 pm (in terms of common geographic waypoints or GPS coordinates)? I'd always had the impression these flights departed RNO heading more or less straight west and passing well to...

The following may be (?) OT for this NG, but I believe a lot of the people on this group are interested, one way or another, in manned space flight, so I'll pass the following along: WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 16 Sep 05 Washington, DC 4. THE POISON PILL: NASA UNVEILS PLANS TO VISIT...

As a follow-on to recent discussions of the shuttle or manned space exploration in several threads on these two groups, an illustration of one of NASA's current concepts for future space exploration vehicles is temporarily available at http://www.stanford.edu/~siegman/shuttle_replacement.gif If...

As a follow-on to the discussion of "one G rolls" in this NG some time back, an analysis of a simplified "physicist's version" of the one G roll problem, with formulas and graphs, is available at http://www.stanford.edu/~siegman/one_g_roll.html I'm not sure why I was driven to do this -- maybe...

A message some time back gave some specs for internal volume and weight-carrying capability of the 380, but I've lost the link. Could anyone supply those numbers off the top of their head or give a link or pointer where to look? What I'm after are just rough numbers for the total internal...

Can any of the existing (remaining) shuttles launch, enter orbit, reenter, and land completely unmanned, i.e., completely under computer control? Or could they be modified to do so without too much trouble?

Listening to audio channel 9 on United, at higher altitudes and during cruise I hear ATC say things like "What's your mach?" and "Maintain mach 77" and at lower altitudes and during approaches "slow to 180" or "maintain 250 for spacing". I appreciate that these are occurring in quite different...

Latest issue of Bob Park's American Physical Society newsletter "What's New" is http://www.aps.org/WN/ It's not exactly "piloting" but it contains several fascinating news items re aerospace, missile defense, astronauts (who are often pilots), stuff that flies (or sometimes doesn't), the Space...

Listening to channel nine on UA 1225 Denver-Reno yesterday, I heard something like: "Denver Center, Jackpot 123, can we request a block allocation for 39 to 41?" and then "Jackpot 123, Denver Center, block allocation 39 to 41 approved."
