March 20, 20205 yr Las Vegas running CTAF ops. I knew all those patterns at NTAs would pay off. Pretty neat, though.

July 12, 20205 yr On a positive note, the LAZ video video lead me to another video that could be a positive change. I don't know much about this program, but if it can be expanded and works, let's hope it takes off.

He has a Lancashire accent.

My bad (not sure whether to apologize to the Scots or to the gentleman from Lancashire). It's been a while since I lived in Scotland (1994-5) but in my memory, he sounded like the Scots I hung out with (slurred and muddy sounding). I had to listen pretty closely to understand 1/2 of what they said for the first couple of months. I spent a semester in Manchester adjacent to Lancashire but that was back in the Fall of 1992 snd don't remember that type accent (but I was in school at MBS so maybe the master's degree students I interacted with weren't quite as British "redneck" sounding).

I hear ya. I imagine that if you don't hear these accents all the time, the sort of blend into one another - an unintelligible mess. I wonder whether your mam likes Rab C Nesbit. It's fun to watch some with the YouTube captions enabled to see just how badly it 'translates' his speech:
July 15, 20205 yr Chinese BFM It looks like they stole Brevity along with all of the other intellectual property.
July 15, 20205 yr Short write up on the video and unit that likely flew that training mission: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/34845/this-rare-cockpit-video-of-chinese-fighter-pilots-dogfighting-offers-unique-insights
July 17, 20205 yr Technically not a flying video, but probably the best walk around of the Hog you'll find on U-Tube!
