Pilotasso Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Rejected take-off. The plane looks pristine-like a revell model or something. Thats A PoAF F-16 that very recently went through a major overhaul and modification (MLU+falcon star+falconUP) and had weel brake trouble as it it overheated and became red hot as the plane stop at the runway unexpectedly. Thats why it looks so clean. Previous modified planes already look weathered, but they are periodically re-painted. .

Avilator Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 why in the world would someone rest the faith of hundreds of people on an Apple :noexpression: (on any SOHO class gadget for that matter) I have to agree with you. (Not on the whole Apple thing, but on these devices in general.) If I wanted a device to show me where I was in relation to terrain on an approach to minimums, I would not trust such a mass consumer product. As a backup or for displaying charts only, sure, but not as primary navigation. I would prefer my gadgets panel-mounted by an avionics shop. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

RIPTIDE Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Yep, it doesnt get any truer than that. Not like I have a hard-on for boeing either. There isnt a single part on the planes we build that come from China and I take great pride in that. :thumbup: How about them Rare Earths? ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
