Lawman Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 What kind of wind restrictions/taxi limits do you guys have anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcflyboy Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I was just there yesterday. It was fooking windy too with +/- 10 on final. Found out some of my passengers had yacked, when we arrived at the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossHarris Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 What kind of wind restrictions/taxi limits do you guys have anyway? Taint none. But it's a good idea to tie them down in windy spots like Vegas and, evidently, Vermont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeg130 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 +10 for pig mania reference. Too much Magic Hat, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawman Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Taint none. But it's a good idea to tie them down in windy spots like Vegas and, evidently, Vermont. The couple times I've had somebody suggests we just tie down the fleet instead of going through the trouble of hangering them for forecast winds (typically some new E4) I show them a picture on my phone of a pair of wings still chained down with the middle of the plane missing and tell them to go find somebody with a tug license.

Danger41 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Was there a B-1 near? Edited July 21, 2013 by Danger41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap-10 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I love how the camera operator had zero SA about the tilted Fighting Falcon....just kept on filiming the B-1 takeoff roll. Cheers, Cap-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle2002 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Was there a B-1 near? It cracks me up that the guy filming the whole things continues to pan towards the runway to record the B-1's takeoff almost as though the mishap he just filmed never happened. Edit: Cap-10 beat me to the punch; great minds think alike. Edited July 21, 2013 by Muscle2002 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That guy was lucky he didn't go into a flat spin and head out to sea after getting caught in the B-1's jet wash! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Cap-10 Nah, it just proves how little people care about the LGPOS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Spike Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Nah, it just proves how little people care about the LGPOS. I'm not sure why you have to bring little people into this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle2002 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Nah, it just proves how little people care about the LGPOS. No, the cameraman was just amazed to actually see a B-1 get airborne given it's reliability track record. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
