    and then factor in the weather - lots of storms will bring visibility to zero and planes just circle and circle hoping for a window to land. if it doesn't open up then they turn around and go back where they came from. happens a lot up there.

    Just the basics
    First thing they do is divert to closest available airport. Rarely do they return to point of origin.

    My dad was USAF/CANG, American Airlines, and during furloughs he flew for a three letter govt group subsidiary. I did have a ground school instructor who flew with Tigers.

    LAX. They always have some cool planes over on the atlantic aviation ramp. Usually a private A340 or 777. I was doing a safety audit there on our maintenace ramp and watched a SWA 737 blow a tire on takeoff, sounded like a cannon went off.

    Hello guys thought I would stop in and see whats going on. I am an Avionics Tech started in the Marine Corps and now work for the Army doing heavy maintenance on UH-60's, CH-47's, AH-64's, and the OH-58 prior to it being retired. Here are some pics from my time in many places.

    Those Cobras are sexy. As impressive as the systems and capabilities of the Apaches are the Cobra is always going to look 1000x more sleek and cool.
