The interest will always be there, just as people respond to a P-51, spitfire or F-86 at an airshow while Raptors and B-2s go whizzing by. The question is just how big that segment of interested people might be...probably, as a percentage of the population, the segment will slowly decrease over...

No question this was very tough situation, dark, bouncing around and instrument failure. Then again, every accident that ever happened was a difficult situation for the pilot, one that he couldn't handle. In this case, knowing they pulled up (to 38,000') to a stalled situation, it appears they...

What is the mindset of these sickos who feel they are making a 'point' about something, Muslims or whatever, by shooting a bunch of teenagers? Getting attention? And why did it take 90 minutes for authorities to get there and stop that SOB? Of course he surrenders without a fight, and now...
