Re: Help debunk chemtrails

Why putting all your energy in that? You have good meanings, but some people will just never learn and stick to what they believe. People have admitted they made crop circles, the Santilli Brothers have admitted they faked the alien autopsy movie, but it is still all believed to be true by a lot of ...

Re: Becoming an airplane technician

-Without license you act as apprentice or grease monkey as we say. Don't expect varying work or good payment. -After being this for 3 years you can become A licensed, if you pass all exams that is. You can skip the grease monkey part if you do your A level exams in an approved Part147 organisation (...

Re: Eindwerk Flaps & Slats

We willen het onderscheid van hoe een technieker naar flaps & slats kijkt en hoe een piloot naar flaps en slats kijkt samen aan bod brengen. >>> zelf technieker zijnde kunnen jullie mij altijd jullie vragenlijst doorsturen. Techniekers hebben over't algemeen niet veel te maken met flaps/slats, ...

Re: Jetairfly boeing 767 delayed today

TUC is as safe as any other 767 flying around. Tech4Jets has no way to go around safety rules. End of story, I myself would fly this bird anytime. I heard TUC is going anyway (for cargo conversion apparently?-DHL??), and JAP will come in its place. The only thing about TUC that can be said maybe is ...

Re: Cargo B Tailstrike

Whoever says this repair is going to be peanuts doesn't know what he's talking about or hasn't seen more pictures than the ones on the net. Sure it can be repaired, airplanes laying 40 years on the bottom of the sea have also been repaired to flying condition. I am an aircraft engineer and have seen...

Een half jaar geleden opende de rechterdeur toen ik in takeoff zat met een C152. No big deal, gewoon terug dichtdoen en passagier wat sussen. Trouwens, met open raam vliegen levert hetzelfde lawaai op, en een paar knopen verlies in snelheid. Toen ik PA18 vloog was het trouwens bijna standaard om de ...

Re: I find this post offensive!

Where were those engines guys? I've clearly seen turbine discs into the scrap piles on pictures. People who say it's a conspiracy don't know anything about airplanes, as they compare engine fan blades to the smaller turbine blades, and conclude that it is thus a smaller rocket type engine. And why ...

Indeed for CGN. BRU will close april 2008, but test of Leipzig starts september this year. So maybe from september on we will already see less aircraft in Brussels?

At night we get about 26 aircraft. Record I've seen was 32 or 35. About all of them I guess. There were times we had to park planes at the satellite because we ran out of parking spots.

VLM always seems to be the odd one in aviation. While other companies struggle to get their break-even, go bankrupt, or struggle to get their planes filled, VLM just continues to climb. I still remember myself looking to the Antwerp apron with the 2 VLM airplanes back then (VLM and VLE I guess). How...

Grimbergen is a bit special on r/t. It's an uncontrolled airfield what means it only has a designated frequency for pilots to say their intentions/positions. But it is close to Zaventem and therefore there are special procedures for arriving aircraft and there also is a control tower (but as said-wi...
