"Dudley Henriques" wrote in message nk.net... "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:gwn%c.19949$vy.3595@attbi_s52... However, for your sake I'll reiterate the point: The "Cool Videos" page name pre-dates most of the videos. When I started the page, it WAS just cool videos, with aerobatics, supersonic passes, and landings in Iowa City depicted. Over time, the page has grown to include accidents, miscalculations, and mechanical failures, as well as video of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Give me a ****ing break Honek. You HAD to know this heading was there when you added these pictures of people being killed, ESPECIALLY the WTC stuff! Who the hell do you think you're kidding anyway? Regardless of how you started this site, adding death and dying to it without changing that heading only tells me one thing as a thinking person; you either did it knowingly, or by not realizing how this would read to a normal person, you are way too stupid to fly a ****ing airplane. Give it up before you become one of your own videos.! Oh yeah.....that would be "COOL" wouldn't it??? You ****ing moron! Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship |

As I stated earlier, the point (already made by an earlier poster) is well taken, and I will be changing the name of the page to something more appropriate when I get a minute. Hey asshole; you forgot and left the word "enjoy" on the site. You might consider getting rid of that as well. "Enjoying" people dying is just as bad as viewing it as "cool"...to normal people anyway! Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship |

I know you and I don't see eye to eye - But in my opinion you have sunk to a new low for which you should be ashamed of. Your in this newsgroup every day as an INNKEEPER, who is a pilot, and you are here daily to actively promoting your business. That's why you always have your business addy as part of your SIG file. When I visit your website and click on the COOL STUFF link the heading of the page says this. The Alexis Park Inn & Suites is far more than a hotel!** In many ways we are more like an aviator's dream come true, with historical memorabilia, photos, and collectibles literally EVERYWHERE.** Over time we have become nearly equal parts museum and hotel! ** * Click the links below to see more information about the inn, as well as to view some really cool aviation stuff... Not everyone who visits your website is into aviation Jay. I gotta tell you that posting a bunch of pictures of airplanes sent to you by aviation enthusiasts is one thing and in the overall scheme of things will offend nobody. Posting videos of crashes where people are being killed at that instant is quite something else. I would think that the American families of those innocent passengers on that fatefull flight of the B-52 that cartwheeled into the ground because of the stupidity and arrogance of the pilot, may be getting just a little tired of running into that piece of video when they happen to be surfing the web looking for something totally unrelated, like a room to rent in IOWA City ...... Don't you.....??????????? In my opinion there is absolutely no difference between you as an INNKEEPER promoting your business here with death videos and that guy promoting the aircrash video site over in Europe, who has been spamming his message about educational videos into a dozen newsgroups these past few weeks. Please tell the group..... your peers and friends, as well as the rest of us from around the world, just why you feel it is necessary to show a laser guided bomb killing a bunch of people on the ground, some of whom might be just absoluty innocent bystanders, and just how that promotes your business which is renting rooms to the general public. When someone visits your website looking for general information as to what sort of services you provide, is the below quoted message really the message that you want any potential customers to get. This incredible video, taken from an F-16 that is dropping a 500 lb.bomb on a safe-house in Fallujah, Iraq, shows how flexible and precise laser-guided munitions have become.* As the house is targeted, and the bomb in en route, dozens of insurgents run outside, on their way to join a nearby battle against U.S. Marines.** The pilot moves his laser-designator onto these new, moving targets -- with impressive results.* Get as mad as you want Jay...... and call me anything you want, but ask yourself this one question. Is business really that good, that as an INNKEEPER you can afford to offend even one potential customer, who after viewing what your posting on your website, will decide to take their business to another hotel. |

Actually, it was the autoland feature that crashed that plane. The computer
wouldn't let the pilot go around. mike regish "John Mullen" wrote in message ... "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:EY%_c.306956$eM2.73249@attbi_s51... The Airbus crash was nothing to do with the FBW system, except in the sense that the pilots trusted overmuch in it to keep them from crashing. It was also not the first fully automatic aircraft, or whatever the exact form of words you use are. Basically they flew too slow and low and their planning was poor. What the hell is the fake bird ad for the Ford Ka doing there? Respectfully yours John Mullen |

As much as I disagree with Jay about politics, I've got to congratulate him
on getting Dudley to break the cuss barrier. Way to go Jay! :-) 3 in a row!!! "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message nk.net...

Way to go Jay! :-) 3 in a row!!! That's just the tip of this iceberg. Take a look at his post asking me to make comment on his website on each accident to "help flight safety". Christ, I lecture all over the damn world on flight safety. I'm published internationally on the subject. I'm a professional pilot who has taken an active role in airshow safety for over fifty years. In other words I'm a bit known in this area. If I hadn't noticed the "cool" and "enjoy" on his GD site and posted on it with my name and noticed that afterwards, I can guarantee you that at least several dozen VERY angry people from various venues of the professional aviation world including the military fighter community, the test pilot community, the air race community, AND the air show community would have marched into his GD hotel office one sunny morning along with me politely asking as a group that he take my damn name off his GD web site. He's damn lucky I caught it, and you can take that one to the bank! Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship |

In my opinion there is absolutely no difference between you as an
INNKEEPER promoting your business here with death videos and that guy promoting the aircrash video site over in Europe, who has been spamming his message about educational videos into a dozen newsgroups these past few weeks. Think what you will. I receive more positive feedback from that video page than from any other single page on our website, with the exception of the Rogue's Gallery. Please tell the group..... your peers and friends, as well as the rest of us from around the world, just why you feel it is necessary to show a laser guided bomb killing a bunch of people on the ground, some of whom might be just absoluty innocent bystanders, and just how that promotes your business which is renting rooms to the general public. My business is secondary to my love of aviation -- plain and simple. If I wanted to make a lot of money, I wouldn't have sold my last two businesses. I personally find all aviation videos fascinating, and educational. I also like to showcase the amazing technological capabilities of our new military hardware. That video is amazing, fascinating, and educational. To address your point, the odds of a casual hotel-hunter actually digging down three levels into the menu system of our webpage to find ANY of my extraneous pages (I.E.: Videos, the Rogue's Gallery; pictures from Oshkosh; etc.) are virtually nil. In fact, the ONLY people I know that have found the video page are pilots and aviation enthusiasts. I would think that the American families of those innocent passengers on that fatefull flight of the B-52 that cartwheeled into the ground because of the stupidity and arrogance of the pilot, may be getting just a little tired of running into that piece of video when they happen to be surfing the web looking for something totally unrelated, like a room to rent in IOWA City ...... Personally, if one of my family members was killed by the arrogant idiot who was piloting that B-52, I would want every person in America to see it, every damned day. I can think of no greater punishment for the so-called pilot who killed those innocent people. But that's just me, I guess. Get as mad as you want Jay...... and call me anything you want, but ask yourself this one question. Is business really that good, that as an INNKEEPER you can afford to offend even one potential customer, who after viewing what your posting on your website, will decide to take their business to another hotel. It doesn't work that way, and I won't get mad at you -- but if it did work that way the answer to your question would be "yes." Go to Yahoo. Type "Iowa City Hotel" into the search screen. See which of the zillion hotels in our area pops up as Number One at the top of the list, at the very top of the page. You may find it amazing that a tiny, independent, non-chain hotel can be rated most popular in the area, ahead of the Sheraton's and Holiday Inn's, no? Well, outstanding service + outstanding rates + outstanding aviation theme suites = success. We do whatever it takes to make sure our guests are supremely pampered, and it shows in our bottom line. It ain't rocket science, and a video page of unique and fascinating aviation videos isn't going to change that equation one way or the other. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Well, I'll give you this much Honek. I missed your "cool" sign for some
reason the first time I checked out your site and posted back on your "request" that I join you in "changing" things I've already been changing for the last fifty years; not realizing that sign was there. My mistake! I don't give a rat's ass how many posts have addressed this issue. One fact remains for me when dealing with you on this, and that is the simple fact that of all the titles you could have used for a site showing people dying in airplanes you actively thought about it and CHOSE the phrase "COOL". You know, Dud, your hypocrisy is really starting to irk me. 1. I've tried to spoon-feed you the explanation for how the page -- an insignificant page in a gigantic website -- evolved from "cool" videos to what it is today -- an explanation you have disdained. 2. I have given you every opportunity to explain your ethical (and bizarre) opposition to the viewing of these videos -- which you have refused to do. 3. I have put up with your condescending tone and sanctimonious attitude -- despite the fact that you quite obviously don't have a clue what you're talking about. 4. Despite all this, I EVEN GAVE YOU THE CHANCE TO PUT YOUR PERSONAL IMPRIMATUR ON EACH GOD DAMNED VIDEO, so that they would be truly "safety oriented" -- an action which you decided you were not qualified to perform. I have exercised extreme patience with someone I thought was worthy of admiration and honor over the last several years, hoping that perhaps logic and good spirits would prevail over irrationality and surliness. Now you have the audacity and impudence to insult and threaten me, in this public forum (AND in private email)? At last your true colors are showing, sir. What a shame. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:3mh%c.141658$Fg5.61596@attbi_s53... I have a half hour programme recorded about this incident with a lot of comment from the pilots involved. If I can get hold of an analogue TV adaptor for my PC, I'll digitise it and send it over. That would be great, Paul. Thanks! -- Jay Honeck Another choice is to take the tape over to a local community college, and see if they can convert it for you.
