A friend on mine that used to fly for US Air that now flies for Air Tran provided me with these photos of the recovery of the A320. Interesting shots.

Panther,

My wife Loves your ride!. I should have not shown it to her. Now she's bugging me to get one for her. She is a BMW lover. :D

Gotta confess, Not a real Ferrari. A reproduction. I wish I could afford the real thing. Only 124 Spyders and little over 1000 coupes ever built from '68 to '74. Perormance of my reproduction is the same or better than the original. Car built on a 1979 Corvette host car. It was built in 1989. Roughl...

Captain C B "Sully" Sullenberger is the name of the captain as reported by Fox News.

Again, Great job by the crew.

Lawndart,

What runway did they depart from? Do you know? Also, Fox is just reporting that the Captain was a former Air Force Phantom driver and Air Force safety investigator. I only caught his last name... Sullenger I think or something like that.

What a great job!

I agree Beaker, This repost from the VTB site: All members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corp are required to follow the UCMJ. No swaying from that. All of us members must adhere to it strictly or we as military members must deal with the consequences. As for the Blues, they are held to a higher stand...

A little tactful discretion would be in order. Items like this is never any good for anything or anyone on the team. I am sure the Blues will have the info available when they feel that it will be appropriate. I was in the middle of the investigation during Tailhook and it was not a fun thing and I ...
