@Oceanbreeze473 As General Schwarzkopf said, "Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion."

I bet the French were glad the US didn’t say that in 1941.

@MindfulL205 Not all aircraft are operated this way. The Lockheed L-1011 used a door that opened vertically and was operated automatically by pressing a switch. It did have an alternative manual mode though. I flew them for a few years. it was a fine plane!

@Teacherrr0 What's even more frightening is folks who see something created by A.I. and take it for the gospel truth.

@BLackgold_5 Not real, not aerodynamic, and not a thing. Two flight decks? That is a dead giveaway. No way would a design feature two different flight crews operating one airplane.

A 7-level ultra-luxury aircraft that feels more like a flying skyscraper than a plane. It's real or?

Nothing stops a mother's love. Not even thousands of stings! This mother elephant stood her ground and safely guided her baby away from a dangerous bee attack. A stunning, one-of-a-kind rescue story from the wild. Drop a 🐘 if you love elephants! ✨🐘

@historyrock_ I don't care one way or the other about Bruce Springsteen. I used to like his music until he went off the deep end into the woke madness. Now I just ignore him altogether.

@Brink_Thinker They take flight because of a principle formulated by an Italian fellow named Bernoulli. His formulated principle describes precisely why aircraft fly.

@Fahadnaimb As I recall, on the L-1011 the best cursor in the cockpit was the Flight Engineer.

Why did Boeing go touchpad when Airbus perfected the trackball? 🤔 Look at that A350 setup.... pure heaven. It's faster, more precise, fewer issues than 787 CCD (which has its flaky moments). I'd swap in a heartbeat. Boeing pilots agree or nah? Best cursor control in any cockpit you've used??
