I've just had my mind blown. The Dragonair headquaters were actually really, really nice inside, and the gymnasium and pool is epic.

Oh, and the air hostess were hot :p

I just found out that a Beechcraft Starship lives at a nearby regional airport! I love these planes.

I've loved that plane for so long.

High-altitude research aircraft built by Grob. Twin-engined is the G 850 Strato 2C, and the other one is the G 520.

Creepy: "Grob" is "coffin" in Russian.

I think its the only composite aircraft certified for high-altitude work as well.

On the note of the beechcraft, its a stunning looking design, but failed to deliver the promised performance, hence making it a commercial flop. IIRC most of them were bought back and scrapped already.

Although Adams has failed miserably aswell. :(
 
^ Why are the people on the right playing peek-a-boo with a jet? :eek:
 
Does anyone here know anything about aptitude testing for airline pilots? I've received notice to sit mine next week, so it'd be nice to know roughly what it involves...
 
I don't know that much about it, but on amazon there are RAF-aptitude test practice books. At least multiple coice. I don't feel like searching too much now, but this is a little relevant. link
