Engine on Global Flyer by
Brent
They're saying the Global Flyer's jet engine burns 102 pounds of fuel an

Bose comes through for my Christmas too! (was "Present from Bose!") by
Kyler Laird
I've posted lots of messages about how much my wife and I appreciate
our Bose headsets, followed by several about how my wife's headset
became unusable after an upgrade (and a couple of attempts to fix it).
Now I get to go back to praising Bose.
I just got off the phone with Joe Tesini of Bose...

The answer is 220. I don't know how to arrive at this answer.

club to where I live, the members, the planes, and the online scheduling

within 50’ of the surface, had autothrottles on which pulled the throttles
to idle and the pilot let that happen but rotated to get to the...
