    Buffalo outperforms on STOL specs it seems, but is also a slow aircraft, great for searching once on station.

    The avionics and sensory inputs blow the Buff technology away. Still the new aircraft had the old-school bubble windows added.

    Nice. That’s the plane I have the most time in, behind the 737 now. It’s a great plane.

    So far I like i!. They fixed most of the things I didn’t like about the XLS. I think it’ll be an easy next jet and it’s got lots of power to spare so that’s awesome

    Only 20 minutes of gas left anyway, they'll be on the ground one way or another.

    I did have charts try to escape once when the latches/pins of an Aztec door failed. Luckily I saved them from death.

    :rofl:Thanks for posting that! After watching one of the slightly more serious videos on that douchebag, I wasn't planning to watch any more of the myriad of videos that were made on the subject. I really should have watched this one early on rather than scrolling past it.

    That wanker stuffed that plane right here in an area I sort of consider my backyard. I'd love to see the FAA put the smack down on that dude.

    No kidding, they wouldn't have stood a chance against suction that goes all the way to the ground.

    I loved that he was able to keep a straight face throughout the video. And that the video was chock full of insights. I never would have known how good plastic baggies are at saving friend's ashes, nor would I have known about that wallet. I hope he didn't have too much trouble flying out after the plane landed itself :)

    Never a dull day in Houston. Three cops shot. Three areas where shots were reported and three MD-530F's orbiting. They got the bad guy.
