At one point we were breathlessly advised that a chap was struggling to maintain consciousness as he pulled +3. :hehe:

Where do you stand Sir C.

Airbus approach. Take the human out of the equation?
Or Boeing use the technology to assist the human?

Red Bull something or other, flying in and out of obstacles.

Nobody crashed mind you.

I thought it was going to be boring but it was highly entertaining and one lady kept losing her rag and pushed the other woman into the wall.

One of the most common phrases taken from Airbus Cockpit Voice Recorders is, "What's it doing now?", as the aircraft changes direction for no obvious reason. However, a good training regime at a good airline will ensure that the crew remain a step ahead of the computer, and if they do so, the system works well.

They might want to think about giving the poor sods some new aeroplanes, mind.

If you like the subject you should learn to fly. It's a man's pastime and no mistake.

Mind you, it did make me think... two Malaysian Triple-7s lost in a month? And one disappears completely? It IS a bit strange.

I'm going to make a new tinfoil hat.

once you've divided them up amongst all the different services. Plus, reapers are helping to put us all out of business too.

It used to be a man's game, alright :-|

Powered by electric motors. :cloud9:

Then we can all have our brains replaced with microchips and work at the turnip factory according to instructions.

Yes, Number 62, that sounds marvellous!

They're going to be scuttling about inside a couple of years. :-)

They'll have to outlaw driven cars eventually. Humans can't be trusted.

It just seemed mad these little agile planes were darting about in the middle of London with Canary Wharf etc in the background.

In a word, f**k 'em.
