The pictures of this remarkable crash were forwarded to me by a fellow who is apparently in Iraq, judging by his assessment of the situation. (I've seen these pix posted in other places, but not with the details he provided.) The C-130 in question made a night landing on a closed -- but not NOTAM'd as such -- runway. The results are obvious. It's amazing -- the NOTAM system in Iraq doesn't seem to work any better than the one in the U.S. Although -- unless we live in Chicago -- we usually don't worry about runways being ripped up in the middle of the night. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I would not bet on the plane being totaled. I have seen worse brought back
into service. |

Jay, =why= do you use dark blue background with black type? Even
highlighting it didn't improve the contrast - the only way I could read it was to copy it to Notepad! Jose -- Money: What you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Maybe on your machine, but not on mine, which is the whole point of web design. It's not like the printed page, where what the designer wants is what the reader gets. The web designer =must= take into account the fact that the site will be viewed on a wide variety of machines, which are set up differently for a myriad of good reasons.

It looks fine on my machine (obviously!) -- what kind of monitor are you using? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Thanks for the input, Jose. It looks fine on my machine (obviously!) --
what kind of monitor are you using? Always glad to help. ![]() 1600x1200 dots, brightness of 50 and contrast of 100 (out of 100). I face the corner of the room, there is a window just to my right which faces South and looks out on snow (ah, tis the season). But even with the shades drawn (which I shouln't have to do) it's dark on dark. Jose -- Money: What you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

There are some features which are just better left unused. Background coloring is one IMHO. When in doubt, look at ebay ![]() |
