Re: 'Swaying' 777
Chocks would be of not much use there. I recall sitting in a DanAir 737 at LGW - the 1997 'storm', I think - when the aircraft next to us (chocked) was swung 30 degrees by a gust. Luckily as we had a tug.......................

Re: F-35 Down at Albuquerque
!! I cannot imagine how he over-ran that runway! I understand he was needing a fuelling stop on his delivery flight so maybe he had gone looking for a gas station...........The wreckage appeared to lie on a direct line from the end of the diagonal, 10,000-ft. Runway 21.

Congonhas 35L again!
Although this was on take-off https://avherald.com/h?article=51932c00&opt=0, I recall the horrendous TAM crash on landing there in 2007.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Careful, now - you are applying logic. It still does not answer the primary question - why?I suspect it's way cheaper to leave them VAT-free.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Why should private education be VAT exempt? Private health care isn't. No-one is saying you cannot educate your child privately, are they, just as you have the right to private health care?

Re: What do I need to know, GCA?
Not in my experience, Ex-A - ATC gave the advisory heights with ranges. This (possibly CAA/MATS?) video explains it.You work out the altitude you should be at from that.
I do hope Mrs Ex-A always let you down gently...................

Re: What do I need to know, GCA?
I do not see how that is different to GCA You are confused, John, by the muddled language of the USA. Stick with good old 'King's English'? Ex-A pointed this out to you 'upstream'. ANY approach to an airfield that is not controlled by the pilot is a 'GCA' - that includes radar vectors, a QGH or oth...

It say much for the opinion the Conservatives have for the intelligence of their voters when Sunak says "I will do xxx" when his actual chances of being PM after the election are 3/10 of the square root of ********

Re: Spitfire Crash
