After nearly 40 years, Marine pilot talks about UFO encounter | Pensacola News Journal | pnj.com.
Being a science fiction nut I of course believe in two things. 1. there is intelligent life out there. 2. We have been visited by at least one of these races. I believe in number one because of the trillions of stars that we can so far detect there has to be at least one other planet that’s developed intelligent life. And I believe in number two just because that would be cool.

Plane crashes in Gulf; pilot thought to have been unconscious | Pensacola News Journal | pnj.com.
Sounds like he had a pressurization problem and passed out before he could get his mask on if he had one. Too bad the coast Guard couldn’t get to the crash site in time but after being above 25,000 feet for so long he was probably dead anyway.

Air Force To Pilots: Slow Down.
Most of the time when I’m flying I trying to be as fuel efficient as possible. When I’m ferry flying over the ocean or jungle the extra fuel you can save when you drop down to sixty five percent power could really come in handy some day. And when I’m the one paying for the gas getting there twenty minutes later but saving fifty bucks makes a lot of sense, more money for beer don’t you know. Another bonus is that lower power settings mean a cooler running engine and in the end less maintenance and a longer lasting power plant. Now that doesn’t mean that once in a while I don’t pour the coals to the plane I’m flying because some times “I feel the need, for speed !” Sorry about the TOPGUN quote, I just couldn’t help myself.

The control towers in Russia were a strange combination of modern technology and crap from the sixties, but mostly crap from the sixties.

How the RAF drew up plans to attack Argentina over the Falklands in 1982 – Telegraph.
Reading about the war in the Falklands I was surprised by how much trouble the British had defeating Argentina. I know that they the disadvantage of having to fight thousands of miles away while Argentina was right next door but come on guys it’s just Argentina! What would’ve happened if they ever had to go up against a first class adversary like the Soviet Union?

Volcano on the way to Anadyr Russia. At least I think it’s a volcano, but what the heck do I know?

I’ve never been to Sun N Fun but always wanted to go. I’m really hoping Dangerous Flights sends me there next year, because I’m too cheap to pay for it on my own.
