I've encountered 'tannoy' before. I stumbled over it, and had to learn what one was.

Today I learned about the toilet plume, a small feather used to stimu---hahahahaha:lol2:, nah, that ain't what it is, I couldn't even post that with a straight face.:p:

I knew about it, I just didn't know it had a name.

Jinx called them poop molecules.

Right there on ya teethbrush!!

Today I learned about the co-pilot that kept telling the passenger "It's going to be okay."

Kool.

He spent a month creating that story, one of his very best. :thumb::thumb:

Today I learned that if you click this little paper clip,

Attachment 61236

it opens a page with nothing but the attachments from that thread.

Hovering over it tells you how many attachments are in that thread.

This could change how I view the Cellar.

Holly Fook, I just learned something.

Ya gotta be careful around here. They'll learn ya something when ya ain't looking.

Today I Learned about the Cessna 188 Pacific Rescue, which occurred on Dec 22, 1978.

The Cessna 188 is a single seat "agricultural aircraft". It's a crop duster. And this one was being delivered (flown) to Australia from the U.S.

The pilot became lost over the Pacific ocean due to a malfunctioning Automatic Direction Finder. When he arrived in the vicinity of Norfolk Island, the island wasn't there.

Random note: Wikipedia gives the range of a Cessna 188 as 370 miles.

The only aircraft anywhere near the area was Air New Zealand Flight 103. When the pilot of the DC-10 learned of the predicament, he knew that if they (the crew) didn't do something to help the pilot of the Cessna he would almost certainly die.

How they helped the guy is a short, interesting read.

I saw the movie of the week they made of this story.

Wow, those guys really knew what they were doing. I wonder if today's pilots could figure that out?

Wow. Nice work.
