At Us Secret Air Bases or somewhere else.The truth about Area 51,Roswell and other incidents,etc.
Do they hold information that are not ready to reveal to the public as yet?
Have they extracted and created many modern gadgets by reverse technology?
Do you think they have/know the source of energy that is non- polluting but don´t want to commercialize?

It says in FAR 61.159 that you need at least 250 hours P1 but it also states that this can include 250 hours as P1 under supervision i.e. co-pilot time as handling pilot. I emailed the FAA and they said it needs to be "proper" P1 time i.e. captain.
Has anybody mamaged to get an ATP with less than 250 hours as commander?

For example, Delta's planes seem to always have numbers ending with DL or DA. United numbers end with UA. Continental planes seems to have only a number.

Does anyone know if we will ever get a passenger jet like the concord again. It would be nice to travel faster than sound.

Whenever you see a picture of an old Warhawk, they seem to be equipped with a very primitive-looking nose-mounted crosshair arrangement not in keeping with most other WWII fighters. I just wondered why.

The news says the airline involved hads a patchy record for safety because of 4 fatal accidents in the last 13 years.

How does that record stand to other airlines?

Is it really ''patchy''?

Whenever I'm landing with a strong headwind (or quartering headwind) I'm usually reluctant to add more than one notch of flaps.

In the planes that I fly (Cessnas and Warriors), one notch of flaps is 15 degrees. Anything more than this creates a large amount of drag for a negligible increase in lift, and I'm nervous about taking on too much drag with a strong headwind.

When landing with a strong headwind, isn't it better to use minimal flaps and a higher approach speed? (the POH says to add roughly 1/2 the wing gust factor).

Planes pretty much do fly themselves. The pilot does very little other than read the newspaper and drink coffee. It would take very little modification to make it fly alone completely. What are your thoughts on this

I have inherited two Rolls Royce Merlin engines in a legacy and wish to sell them but have no idea of the best place. Someone was looking for one the other day for their father but they had no e mail address so I could not contact them. Any ideas?
