Yeah thats true. I was thinking more about the non-commercial civil aviation environment where you always fill your tanks after you land because otherwise condensation can form inside your fuel tank and contaminate the fuel with water.
Just because they dumped fuel doesn't mean they dumped all of it.
But if it prevented a more serious fire they must have dumped most of their fuel. The aircraft would be fueled up on takeoff surely. Nobody wants air in their tanks.
circling back to the runway that you took off almost never works. And it definitely isn't going to work in a thrust deficient situation in a fighter-type aircraft
Maybe I am too accustomed seeing FA/18s climb out at 45 degrees from the runway. I suppose they don't do that routinely.
Not saying it couldn't. Just saying that you would need a hellishly efficient fuel dump mechanism to make a difference in less than a minute. No doubt that is what they have.
The article I saw said that the aircraft dumped fuel before the pilots ejected, so that must have happed bloody fast. Commercial aircraft can't dump fuel that fast. My initial thought was to wonder why they didn't get back to a runway, if they had time to dump fuel like that.
Not calm enough. Air which feels still to you can be moving at ten knots. When that ten knot flow goes over the top of a mountain it generates ten knots of sink. Good light aircraft climb at ten knots and regularly crash in the mountains. Normal model aircraft might climb at two knots, and that is without cameras and communications gear. Good luck!
The 20 km range excludes cheap electric model aircraft. Also your location requires something with a lot of excess power, due to the disturbed air over mountains.
FB and Yahoo! are having love spats, and Y! is still on the market. FB could do with a really good newsfeed and an open imaging hosting solution as opposed to the inetrnal one which often often doesn't work if you are not logged in.

Do those frequencies seriously exist where you live? They were closed ten years ago here in Australia.
And being a deep, complex hack into the organism it is likely to have wildly varying side effects. My father in law died from DPD/5-FU toxicity. Its a horrible way to go. He was half decomposed when he was declared dead. Having seen that happen I doubt my wife would ever consent to having chemotherapy.
Yeah this seems to be the problem with all chemotherapy drugs. They target fast growing tissue, including the immune system. Being treated for these conditions can make you wish you were dead.

Though I often wonder where I would be without it.
Anyone have an idea why this happened? Pilot error? Mechanical failure?
Gravity.
Sucks.
Its a landing if you walk away from it, as one of the plots apparently did.

Yeah but how fast can that aircraft pump fuel out of its tanks? Very fast, apparently, like, in a couple of seconds.

Yeah like a job not doing research (in Australia anyway). Friends of mine who work in research generally dont live comfortably.
I would be fine with them dreaming of electric sheep but I would draw the line at giving them memories of fictional parents.
None apart from the fact that more of them stay employed. Maybe a few will get a better job with this in their resume.
We have been reading about this for the last ten years.
Yeah but its not going to go out 10km and then back, battling sink and rotors all the way, lugging camera gear along. This is a job for a motorglider.
In winter usually the air is pretty calm.

It allowed my sister to create a ghost profile for me. I saw it on my wife's facebook session.

Generators are banned in many free camping locations in Australia because of the noise.

I am glad to hear that you came through okay.
Yes we've had this drug available here for...

Its a media player.
Bummer of a failure mode there.
