Even the Navy has started to upgrade their support equipment. to be more green! i remember driving the TA-75 Aircraft Tug, it put out a ton of pollution and was a gas hog. Glad to see the airports are going green!

Comment on Is FAA Computer Failure Sign of Imminent Danger? by Wolfram Blume

Dear Sirs:

I looked at your description of the 4000lb aircraft tug and saw two different videos. One showed the tug sliding under the nose wheel on its own. The other showed the operator attaching a nylon strap around the nose strut and winching the nose wheel onto the tug. Which way does it work?

Thanks,

Comment on Have FAA Policies Encouraged Outsourcing? by Allen Inks

Well, of course, I want to fly on airplanes maintained by the most qualified and diligent professionals. And the airline’s practices, as reported in your blog and elsewhere, are yet another reason why, when I have the choice, I prefer to fly in a general aviation airplane that is maintained by mechanics I know and trust at my local FBO. Not that my single engine piston airplane is an inherently safer airplane than a modern WELL MAINTAINED jet-liner, but there is that qualifier in caps… And the fact that, when I’m the pilot of a general aviation airplane, I have never been denied boarding, even when I have arrived at the aircraft less than 15 minutes before scheduled departure, never had my seat overbooked and been bumped, never lost my luggage between originating and destination airports (even when I’ve set down for refueling at one or two airports inbetween), never had to run from the farthest gate of one concourse to the farthest gate of another concourse a half mile away to make a connection that I had scheduled an hour and a half layover for, but because of maintenance problems, or crew scheduling problems, or whatever, now have only 15 minutes to make the connection…..

De-regulation was the worst thing to ever happen to the airline industry here in the US; I can’t think of another industry where the players seem to compete harder at alienating their customers, and mismanaging themselves into bankruptcy.

I have to wonder if these pilots who fell asleep, er…were distracted for so many miles, had commuted to work from distant homes, like some pilots seem to do. Unless they are putting pilots who bum rides to work in the first class seats, there’s nothing restful about air travel nowadays.
