Texas Plane Crash Happening Right Now Cont…

Well I called it.  It was a Piper aircraft.  I really want to know who at the FAA told CNN that it was a SR-22.  When CNN flashed the pictures of the wreckage you could easily see a tail of a Piper made aircraft.  Below is the best picture I could find but you can see its no Cirrus tail lol.

Can I just say though this guy who stole the airplane is seriously going to F-up the general aviation community.  Wasn’t it like a few weeks ago the Homeland Security Agency and TSA said they would back off the GA because they posed no real threat to people or buildings.   Well not anymore.  Good bye freedom at local airports.  Thanks a lot ass.  Why couldn’t he have just stole a tractor or something like everyone else.

Texas Plane Crash Happening Right Now

Happening right now a plane crashed into a building in Austin, Texas.  CNN cant figure out if it was caused by a 747 or a small aircraft.  They keep showing one picture that clearly shows the horizontal stabilator of a small Piper aircraft in the wreckage.  If I can find more pictures Ill post them.  The know it all man on CNN keeps saying “Look at all of the smoke caused by the Jet Fuel”!!!!  Are you kidding me.  Wow everyone is a plane expert now.  He cant see the entire building is on fire!  What I dont understand is how did all of the buildings in the vicinity feel earthquake like explosions and this building that the plane hit burn up so much?  I mean this guys tanks must have been empty and the vapors exploded on impact or he hit a gas line in the building because I really cant see a small Piper aircraft cause earthquake like tremors.  Stay Tuned

A Suprise Visit From the Piper Jet

To my surprise the first and only to date Piper Jet flew in and stayed with us for a few nights.  The pilots were very nice and had no problem answering many of my questions that I had waiting for them.  They hangared with us so I got to spend all the time I needed with it haha.  Enjoy the pics! :)

Airbus A400 First Flight- So They think They Can dance Huh?

Im not going to lie I was a little excited to see this thing finally fly.  Its looks pretty nice but will it perform?  Probably, But Airbus is getting into a market they haven’t been in before and have some heavy competition.  I personally think the thing is nothing but a rip off of the C-17 and newer versions of the C-130.  I posted the video of the first flight below.

Take Advantage of Your Airline’s Aircraft

app_1_93673891404_9339As I spoke before of the new Facebook game “Airline Manager” there are a few websites that allow you to really get the most for your money.  Many of you may find it hard when trying to figure out a route for your aircraft by guessing which point to point flight is the furthest from each other and has the highest route demand.  Have no fear though because below I have posted a link to a website that has very kindly created a table that maximizes you aircraft’s potential.  Simply enter your aircraft’s max range and select your departure airport and BAM!  You have the airport furthest from you destination to get you the most $ per flight.  The best way to take advantage of this is to first select the airport with the highest demand in Facebook and then find which airport is furthest from that with the route maximizer.
