Yes, Ping! The exciting new game from Atari that measures IP path latency. Thrill as you send packets into battle with enemy hosts! Will they return safely, or will they be forever lost in the hostile ether? It all part of the fantastic adventure that is Ping! Lowest score wins!
Play Ping: the game that will really socket() to 'ya!
Look, I like the B-52's as much as the next guy, but seriously people! How well can they possibly belt out "Private Idaho" when they're on supplemental oxgen and tooling around the stage in Hoverounds?
Good ol' Jeppesen E6B flight computers. I've got one that's about 15 years old. Tough as nails and works well too. Actually, I'd be surprised if most airline pilots didn't carry these for backup.
The engine used for this motorcycle has probably been de-rated. This is not uncommon for turbine engines. I used to fly Cessna Caravan cargo planes which had de-rated verisons of the trusty old Pratt & Whitney PT-6 engine. The Caravan engine produced 600 SHP while the same engine used on other aircraft was rated to 1200 SHP or more.
Try listening for the voice downlink on 143.625 MHz. This is not an amateur radio frequency; it's used primarily by the Russians on baord the station. That's the language you'll hear used most frequently, although I have heard English from time to time. The signals come through loud and clear on an old haldheld scanner using a 1/4 wave whip antenna.
Er.. well, actually I made up that GACS jazz. But hey, who knows! Tama v2.0 may include something like this.
I have two fur and blood cats myself. They are both mutts; got'em from a flght instructor in Oklahoma 13 years ago. Never once had to change the batteries.
1. Condemned to eat nothing but airline meals. 2. The only decent snacks you have around the "house" are undersized packets of peanuts. 3. Having to install a special security system to alert you when those pesky gremlins come 'round to tear the place up. 4. Neighbors constantly bitch about having to live so close to the airport. 5. Must get clearance from ATC before you can mow the lawn. 6. Guests and visitors are put-off metal detector and x-ray machine installed at the head of the driveway. 7. All residents must be instrument rated. 8. Needing recurrent training just to fix the plumbing. 9. Leslie Nielsen keeps stopping by to tell you how much he is counting on you. 10. One morning you wake up and find your "house" has been hijacked to Cuba.

When the Air Force builds one of these big, black triangular craft then I'll get excited. Until then this is just more fodder for Art Bell.

Well, that explains why it keeps winking at me...
...Christina Abernathy. Grrrrr! When she's on the weather is the last thing on my mind. Tornado warnings be damned!
The correct aeronautical term is "longitudinal axis". Take it from a former freight dog. Or better yet just look at this

- Good Night! Stay pink, soft, and oily!
- Uh... that's not how you wear your Depends, Torgo.
- You never had a poodle!
- You led me on, you gave me mixed signals...
- Boy, Russ Weatherwax really outdid himself with this dog!
Who's got more? C'mon! Post'em!Apparently he did hear a giant sucking sound!
My cat's breath smells like cat food
Does this mean I will one day be able to finger Uranus? Doesn't sound too appealing...

Children playing with Legos? Interesting concept! Does this mean I have to share?
Ah, anti-semitism! I want to be on the television!
I suppose you'll want my polystyrene nose too!
Cut! Print it! Brilliant!

You'd want the GACS (Gyroscopic Attitude Control System) option. It's another $500.00, but isn't your robotic kitty worth it?
