Apparently the USA isn't the only country where this sort of thing happens. A fortunate result, all things considered.

Why It Bothers So...
One can make all sorts of clever arguments-indeed the Brits have, from
blaming us to blaming their own-about why this crisis was someone
else's fault, due to a misunderstanding, due to media exaggeration,
due to an accident. But what is missing is the simple fact that...

Broken Phone, Missing App by
Charlie Papa[_2_]
I had an app on my Nexus phone that satisfied the ramp check requirements for an up-to-date VNC chart, and best of all it was free.
Then, I wore my phone into a swimming pool. Turns out, that's not good for the phone.
When I received the repaired phone, the installed apps were all gone. And...

I'd like to use a webcam to view the weather at the airport I fly from, particularly for wave
days; unfortunately, the official airport webcam looks down at the runways and ramp instead of
up at the clouds. I want to install a viewer-controllable pan/tilt (and maybe zoom) webcam that

BRS chutes. Why doesn't everyone use them? by
Sparkorama
I'm just getting back into the sport after a long hiatus. I've seen that a lot of glider pilots fly with parachutes (ones they wear) and I have seen Ballistic Recovery System parachutes in planes as well. From my layman's view, it appears that getting out of a plane using a traditional chute after...
