He said it is something every pilot shot do at least once. You have to pay close attention to what you are doing and all the other folks as well. It is a very intense period for a pilot.

I would imagine so. Still give them props for being there in 90*/90% all day and keep their cool, so to speak. The poor Marines working on the Harrier. "What part is that (as they were replacing parts near the empennage)? How many bombs do you carry? How big is the cannon?"
What happens to a storm trooper if you drop a bucket of fire on him? That was the WTH question of the day.

That was my guess but it looks fastened in an odd way.
Why do they "pedal" when they are close to the ground, but several seconds from landing?

Fastened that way so it doesn't interfere with ankle movement.
No idea on the pedalling thing. Reiver would know. |

I used it to pack up a road bike going to California and the buyer said it arrived in perfect condition.

Gosh, I think its happy hump day!
Good morning everyone. Grumble grumble dang traffic is messing up my serene morning commute. Many times I have driven 3.5 miles and not seen any traffic at all. Today there were over a dozen cars. Dang development. And it is only going to get worse.

Yeah Glen, It's going to get really bad if the company I work for puts in their 1000 employee facility right smack dab in the middle of your commute.

A dozen cars per block is moderate traffic here.

I see maybe a dozen cars on the highway, then I get to town.
Good thing I only have a few miles in town and only 4 stoplights. I know people on the other side have a shorter mile/much longer time commute than I do. Jim, you are lucky I hadn't had breakfast yet or you would owe me a new keyboard.
