Uber Classic Video: Pilot Changes Tire Mid-Flight

There are classic videos and then there are CLASSIC videos. Obviously cameras were not quite a popular as they are today and I would imagine that this whole video was staged, but who the heck cares?

More Answers from Car2Go

I talked on the phone to Car2Go CEO Nick Cole a couple of weeks ago, to follow up on our last interview, and relay some of your questions; apologies for the delay in getting this published.

When Omni Was Futuristic

I'm VFR inbound to a controlled airport on a day with a high thin overcast. Beautiful day for flying: no glare, little turbulence, old snow still sparkling on the ground below, but the runways and taxiways perfectly clear. The controller tells me to call ten miles out and asks another aircraft to report "over the OMNI." How retro. Show More Summary

Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Air to Air Video

Air to air shots of Alaska Airlines Boeing 737s? Yes please. If you are looking for some hard hitting plot, you won’t find it in this video. However, if you are looking or some great angles of the 737 and some cheezy music (yea you might want to hit mute), then you have come [...]

I Had One of Those But the Wheels Fell Off

I've had people accuse me of not liking the Dash-8 but the accusation is false. They can look a little ungainly because of their high wing and long gear legs, but why would I disrespect a versatile Canadian-made turboprop? I love Dash-8s. Show More Summary
