So Long (and Good Riddance) to CNN Airport News
Will we finally get some peace and quiet at the gate? (askthepilot.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Mike, you clearly weren't implying that you use the terminal monitors to do your actual flight planning. I think all of those who actually ARE pilots can attest that even when we're just riding along as passengers, you can't completely put the pilot mindset to rest. And many of us crave having that SA about what is going on and how our flight(s) might be affected. I'm right there with you... I would find that way more informative than the drivel that spews out of the CNN monitors.
I had said, "Those directly involved in engineering and construction with a love of planes certainly count." I'm pretty sure you would fall into that category in some fashion though my description wasn't that broad.
I first learned to fly while an avionics tech working on the S-3 War Hoover. But my love started way back at ten when I got into building balsa wood models.
Unfortunately, there seems to be an ever-increasing number here who have no relationship to aviation, let alone flying an aircraft.
