"Flew out over over your neighborhood right. We flew out over green lake and then all points beyond. I watched her as she turned away from the window and wanted very much not to look out very much to look at me and during that period between treetop top level and three thousand feet. She wanted nothing to do with that view because it was it was completely confusing. Like when did it did it. Come back once it was kinda. Yeah once it was kind of a flat painting of the land below once once you were up above above three thousand feet. She could look out the window again in it and it and it very much was a flat painting and she was interested again until we started to come in for a landing and right in that period where you could make out what things were but we were at a very unnatural height. She looked away again and didn't want. Anything was the appeal of drunk photography. Is that even now with our aviation tech. You never saw you either. Saw the earth from above aerial photograph tree or those kind of pictures that we've all seen earth from space and here's the rivers and here's the grand canyon or you see at ground level but there's this kind of space. I don't know like five hundred feet up or something but couldn't possibly be especially not stationary. Yeah and not in the neighborhood you know maybe for skyscraper observation deck. But you wouldn't see trees on rooftops and stuff and if so only very briefly yeah. This was an experience that was That was happening contemporaneous lately because this was also the dawn of balloon flight The first balloon the first manned balloon flight was only five years before robert barker's panorama so furnace. We're coming down. Well they weren't photo that's true. Nobody's painting up there. What was happening was people who flew in balloons were asked to describe the experience and they could not there. Were not words to describe it and no one ever seen the top of anything no and you read the accounts of it. And there's all this you know people who are saying it flat out. It looks like a map. It looks like ants. It looks you know Like a model but there were so few people that had been up in a balloon. It was a very you know it was a. It was a completely rare Experience for for several decades after the dawn of balloon flight. it didn't become a popular. And you know this day. What percentage of humanity's been. There was a while. Where i sadly i've never been in a. I've never been a balloon but that was that was something where you could get up to that that strange middle altitude and be somewhat stationary and the time to look down and survey not just. You're not just looking down on saint paul's cathedral but you can look all around and that the all around us was was somewhat overwhelming and it it was only after the panorama experience that happened in the rotunda after that because this was accessible to a lot of people it was accessible to to working people it was although it was the rare kind of a media experience that was so compelling that it was kind of classless like you could go as a working person but also the you know the hoi went to later. Balloonists described their experience in terms of the panorama being panorama that do the painted edinburgh the fact that people are literally faint just by seeing a big painting. Really it makes me think we are doing a number on our brains with technology. In general the idea that today we wouldn't bat an eye at that. Because we've we've pushed the we've pushed the hit on a treadmill or we've deadened our senses. It is but we've we've physically changed our brains and our way of seeing thinking just by now having seen everything you know seeing the wildest strobes craziest stuff And we're probably kind of jaded by it. I kind of wish. I was somebody who could faint dead away at a really big painting of edinburgh. But but you still have the you still have the difficulty of fully g- rocking the grand canyon. Yeah right you stand on the edge you see it but how can you know it. How can you truly get the scale of it. I find it frustrating. Honestly that happens pretty routinely to me in big natural landscapes where i feel like i'm just it's just so big and beautiful and i can't get all of it. I can't appreciate it as much as it deserves. And that's the that's the experience from the top of the empire state building. You look down on new york and you kinda of want to spend all day just focusing on some part of greenwich village that you know but even that you can't get it you can't fully absorbs it let alone to look out across the whole city in three dimensions Had kind of a jaded experience along these lines a couple of weeks ago. Maybe this is the twenty th century equivalent of the panorama Have you seen these kind of immersive van gogh things they're doing where it was. It was a hit. Because it was in. Emily in paris on net flicks. They kind of do they project like multimedia mixed multimedia experiences on the walls of the gallery all around you and you can walk and sit or And we were in san francisco last week when they were showing it and it was. You know who's pretty cova saved. Because they were doing like low-capacity so we checked it out. And i was honestly a little bit underwhelmed just. Because i feel like at this point i've seen you can't go to a concert or anything without seeing weird shapes projected on stuff right you can't you can't watch the grateful dead influence exactly or or just you know adult swim on mtv and the or what was it called. What was the weird. Mtv animation thing anyway the influx they didn't have just watching you on flex. They didn't do any of the kind of dizzying by tilting the projection they could really mess. Somebody's inner ear. And so i think on purpose. They didn't really do that so it was all just kind of very sedate. Beautiful van gogh brush strokes. And i thought nah man two hundred quarter stars you know. Did you ever go to the air and space museum in the seventies and take the miracle flight. Oh no they had some kind of immersive thing..

But you obviously spend a lot of time on a mountain bike have you. you know. Women's stuff is kind of dissolved particular. As are certain samples or grips or kind of those touch point things when you're going into eighty five miles a you're like oh man. I'm so glad this is my bike. Because 'cause i know i'm going for sure that. I would say going off what we just talked about. The one of the first things was the the push to unlock feature in the fox forks. Just the remote. Yeah all my other bikes. I didn't have that remote on their some always like reaching down to to move it or whatever and just to have that right there was yeah really nice inconvenient just to be able to lock and unlock when i needed to But saddle wise. I run a. I've been running this prototype. Female saddle from sdg. Actually so great question because sdg's working on a newer like a little bit wider version of their current female saddle called euler and yet making it more comfy and a little bit A little bit more cushion for these longer things when they have. Currently i think is great for shorter distance stuff but you can definitely feel it after quite a few hours. So that along with the sdg grips contact points. I think we're definitely key for me. I've always argued that comfort. Equal speed in longer rides. Cross reassure suffered. That's what you're there for fifty. Plus when i'm feeling better my mate legs just go faster. It's best to be suffering. Yeah yeah if my but my hands if my core if all asked if i'm doing good nutrition and hydration my legs just naturally are better off a better they go better So the only other thing what size. That's a twenty nine Hard jail that you road. What tires did you run in width. If you know in the end you know the models that you ran. Because i feel like the twenty nine or tire market from two point two even two point six at this point is just blown wide. Open in every facet in like you said. There's some fire roads. So i could see a more slick tire like tervell airline or a maxis icon. But personally when. I'm on mountain bike. I like the knob nobably tires. You know. I like grip in my tires. When i'm rail in a corner something are when it gets sketchy so.

"I guess at the top of the car raider that lets that fuel air ratio flush itself to the right so and that probably if you look it up. It's probably one to fifteen parts. One part fuel fifteen parts air. It's flooding through the carburetor the throttles wide open and stop sucking and all that air and all that that little bits of fuel and then based on the mixture the red knob Able to control. What am i Controlling their wally with that red knob. I think a lot of people. It's called the mixture is it. Is it air or fuel or combination of both what am controlling your controlling fuel with that with that read nop. Yeah so it. Is the fuel amount that is going in a cylinder so i. I think i've heard people reference it as you know. I'm controlling the amount of air. That's not the case. You're you're leaning at three thousand feet and above in most cases Because the air density is less up there and i need less fuel so as i back out that red knob on backing out the fuel. That's going into that system earth cylinder so if i have a flooded engine i want the throttle wide open and i want that amount of fuel going in there to be less i pull the red knob out and i think just little bit of learnings like that will make you a much better pilot so i hope we've helped explain the engine. What's going on in the engine with the four strokes are what some of the letters and numbers me around the engine. We can't wait to If you've never met her. Listen any mike bush stuff in addition and mr mike bush and savvy aviation in a couple of weeks anything to wrap while we as we wrap up today on engines. Now we're good just You know don't forget about that. Engine you know some of it. Some of the older pipers Have cowlings that you can actually open up in a preflight. And i'm so. I so wish we could do that on more airplanes Because you know most cessnas you got a little thing that we open up and we reach in there and can't really even see but we reach in there and pull out the oil dipstick and maybe drain assump- But we don't really get a very good look on it so my know my courage would be to When you're you're at your flight school are at an f. b. o. And they've got an engine on cow. Go out there and take a look at it. That's a great point. My mechanic at this airfield would love for people to visit and look inside cowlings every time. My twin is in a hundred hour. Or an annual. I love to go down there watson jackson. The seats are off. You can watch the gear and all the things going on like there's great opportunities to do that. But you're going to have to be proactive There's never you can't be ever too smart on systems as it relates to these aircraft and there's always another aircraft that you can learn something about a system that you're not familiar with so go. Challenge yourself get to your mechanic and check out some of the things that are under the cowing and under those seats you'll you'll really become smarter and a much better pilot as you do so as always thanks for listening.

They grow inside these facilities because one in colorado. You're not allowed to grow outside in the weather. I guess doesn't permit it but to you. Don't want people stealing it. They're still you know th they're competing with the cartels down in mexico and the cartels have been sending people to colorado essentially the shake people down organized crime and colorado has gone up something people about but it's one of the fall outs of the legalize marijuana industry in colorado is organized crime Trying to get into the market and mostly it's the mexican drug cartels tried to get into the market and it's a big concern out there and private lease these people who run these businesses will tell you that the amount of time they get shaken down into the concern and because they're still nebulous legality though a lot of them don't speak up about it but they got these big warehouses out there filled with with all these these plants and the whole place stinks but they gotta grow inside. They gotta brian sprinklers. They gotta have lights and it drives up the cost so all of these folks. It's only a matter of time before they start demanding free wheat. The walks are going to be demanding brownie output from the colorado cannabis industry to absolve them of the sin of of the carbon emissions that it's caused by generating marijuana. It's it's a fascinating thing. That's going on in america right now with the woke where they shakedown businesses for money. Be jesse. jackson was a pioneer of this. The rainbow push coalition was notorious for going to businesses and shake down for money. Back in the day. You'd have jesse jackson go out and say oh this character on this tv show. We believe he might be kwasi. Racist gives money. We'll shut up about it. That was the whole they. Al sharpton for years has been famous for for protests boycott to shape down corporate america for money and the environmental sev- learned from it and the environmentalist essentially give indulgences to places like fedex. So you give us a hundred million dollars. Two thousand a think tank at yale on carbon offsets and we'll ignore the factor using polluting planes and and it ignores the fact of the basic reality in the world. Planes burn gasoline and as much as there are studies. One of the the bad things about all the the aeko fuels is it gets cold at turned sludgy while guess where it's cold three thousand feet and when you get the planes up there you can't have the you can't have the fuel turning the sludge so they got used actual fuel. That's not going to turn to sludge and that space fossil fuels and that's a carbon emission..

That in some respects your military background prepared you you almost view this as going into battle and yet i can imagine that at times the mountain transforms into your friend. Not as much an adversary and yet at other times clearly it becomes much more challenging to get to the top and i just want to underscore the fact that the mortality rate there are people that do not make it. And if you could speak to me about that. What is the scene. Now i mean are there. They're climbers that unfortunately meet their demise. Yes it are mount everest and for that matter. Any of the mountains above eight thousand meters that called the mountains dead zones and It is very difficult of for a human being to survive there because scientifically slew when that human body is not meant to survive above twenty three thousand feet that is the limit of acclimatization limitation. However much you exercise and you prepare yourself physically then you get into that twenty six thousand feet zone. It is that zone and the auditor would would have with your body. So yes i have seen those montana's who arresting they're finally and i feel very humbled on seeing them. Because when i was slamming.

Scholar and travel writer to ronnie deluca is the first woman from uttar pradesh india to climb mount everest and the first indian woman to climb the highest volcano of asia. Known as mount. Dama avant in san to look i served in the indian air force for a decade and was squadron leader an outdoor training instructor in the prestigious indian air force academy in hyderabad india and she was even involved. The physical training of hundreds of feature officers including india's first three women fighter pilots with twenty three mountaineering expeditions and tracks in india nepal bhutan iran africa and russia under her belt. To look at is now working on her. Phd continuing to train for future tracks and she serves as a motivational speaker which includes a hugely popular. Ted talk and she has been featured widely in mainstream media india and south asia. She is a staunch advocate of women's rights and human rights. Globally juelich out. Welcome to the show. Is sonia thank you for having made you to look i. I wanna say that the messages you received from your family and especially your mother growing up or such a tremendous example of female empowerment and a genuine belief in human spirit. You were taught that you only have this life to pursue your dreams and goals and that nothing can get in your way so long as your mind believes it you can achieve it while if every young girl or woman receive this message growing up. What could be accomplished on planet earth. So really really impressed by that. And you've talked a lot about your spiritual beliefs and faith. And i wanna ask you. What is going to remind as you ascend a mountain. do you go into a meditative state. Will you rely on your deep spiritual beliefs and constantly have to retain mindfulness in assessing the physical challenges. Along the way i would imagine. There's a variety of protocols and situational awareness. That is needed. But i'd really like her more from you on that. Because in my estimation this mindset is what separates those who make it to the top and those who unfortunately do not on different stages of climbing i have a different kind of a mindset. I would say that. If i fain like there there might be avalanche. There might be a route wash. That might be bad weather. Something which has detained my plans to climb a mountain. I get into a buddy confrontational mode. Because i am. I'm trained as a soldier. And i had to fight my adversity so at times i started seeing the mountain. Asthma adversity. it happened to me on mount everest. I had to in my second attempt. Also i had to turn back from three thousand feet twice before i made my tent and succeeded so in those two attempts i started challenging everest. That either you can give me death or injury you can go ahead and give me that and i will keep on doing what i'm capable of doing. So sometimes i get into that kind of confrontational mode. Where i see that. Yes the mountain in front of me. Is the obstacle that i have to overcome he. It is an enemy. And i have to fight it with all my might that i have sometimes from vivid me. There are certain sentences accord or something but have support him that just springs up bent. The conditions are really tough. I'm climbing exhausted and the going gets very very tough. I have seen these flashes. Coming from within a volume by Kipling everybody had about displaying very famous swim. If so there was this lions from this point if that some everything is finished and nothing is left to new that still a wasting your head which says hold on so at one time this would hold on just a up in my mind and i just continued. I just held on and kept my foot one foot after another in front official. So that is how it happens sometimes. It is ready spinach with because london's are so beautiful. I get into that meditative state also but i contemplate the nature of life seeing a mountain see a mountain the stance alone so anybody who is strong mighty and wants to rise high. Perhaps in life would be like that alone solitary having his own battles and also facing all kinds of storms videos rain gold snowfall everything but still standing very tall and after that i absolve that seed they also the cloud at times at times it is just sunny so this is how life also is on. Mountain's what i love the most about is that i don't have that usual crowd around me.

"No thank you you and i both wouldn't do too well. The atmospheric pressure is maybe like going down three thousand feet in the ocean more and the surface temperature average weather forecast would say like this. On venus the high temperature today would be about eight hundred or nine hundred degrees fahrenheit. No thank you. So that's ron john. That life somehow theoretically could exist in cloud tops but nowhere near the surface of venus because of the most horrific temperatures that you would find but only twenty five million miles away because venus gets closer to the earth in any major planet even close with them ours. We sure need some further investigation. Don't you think absolutely and Besides venus mars we're else do you think that Are nasa is next. I think exploration of life john. It's already been deduced by nasa scientists. That there's a special mission about the satellite and one of the many major moons one of the galileo satellites of jupiter cold europa and a few years ago. I had the opportunity to interview one of the congressmen who was very influential and helping to get at europa mission to search for life. But there's another place. In my opinion this is just strictly my if you look at all the planetary objects out there. The largest satellite in the solar system that has an actual atmosphere is saturn's titan and as we see gas prices rising this country and probably around the world they detected on the surface of this particular satellite titan large oceans and john. This is not a joke. There oceans that theoretically have what the constituent is called octavian. And everybody who drives a car knows about better octane. Right more performance supposedly. Maybe there's an that exploration should be but on another note. I just wanted to highlight very briefly. If we have a moment the earth was just pass back this friday. By one of the most prolific asteroids that has maybe one of the higher potentials obstructing the earth. It's an ester recalled office and it's actually named after the ukrainian war god and it passed us on the fifth of march at around eight fifteen. Pm eastern standard time by a lot eleven million miles. But that's not going to be the case john. it's about twelve hundred feet in diameter. that's larger than a giant nuclear powered aircraft carrier. It's gonna come back to us again. We know this on april thirteenth. Twenty twenty nine at the incredibly close distance of some nineteen thousand miles so go back and put our thinking caps on and we say wait. A minute aren't those geosynchronous satellites that we all depend on to watch our favorite tv shows and do banking and business about twenty two thousand miles away. Yes john actually coming within that area and this asteroid not to learn people that had a higher potential of supposedly crashing into the earth which would be catastrophic. We have to pay attention to the close passages of twenty thirty six and twenty sixty eight but on a bright note. It's not gonna hit us at all. That's the positive news of course We have a minute left. Anything else you wanna tell would. Americans and Literally job again. Thank you for having me. Just a quick synopsis. Don't forget the last quarter moon. John is over six. It'll be high in the southern sky at sunrise rises around midnight..

"In today's guest is former. Alpa employees kelly. Keller kelly under private pilot's license. When she was just twenty years old she comes from a family of aviation and she calls herself a spoiled brat of aviation which seems a little harsh until you realize. She grew up flying where their father and a stagger wing. For most of her youth she learned to fly in tabora so at age nineteen got a private licence at twenty and she's been flying ever since she's worked for textron. Ao pa and now. She's currently the regional sales manager for the southeast for garment kelly. Thanks so much for joining us on the there. I was podcast so kelly. You have quite a hair raising story about flying your family back. In one. seventy two from gaskins white river resort on the way back to hicks airfield. You're flying. you're flying clubs one seventy two and experienced an engine failure. Yeah it was. It was definitely kind of the perfect storm of of situations because it was supposed to be a husband and my baby moon so to speak at seven months pregnant with our first child and had him in the airplane Labrador retriever in the backseats. Obviously mailo co-pilot with me. Yeah we were going to gaskins. White river resort for one last hurrah. It was a great trip really recommend going but on the way back i was over. Really ozark ozark mountains without many airports nearby and smoke in the cockpit. That was my first indication that there is something wrong. Obviously and i could tell. It was kind of an oily smell. But at that point it's just troubleshooting and making sure that i couldn't see that there is anything obvious. Obviously on fire or anything fatso. It's daytime is weather in issued is cleared a million Daytime midday without eleven noon timeframe. Okay in a about what time of years this this is november. So this is november last year. Okay great and about what altitude were you cruising it. So at that time. I was about to say it was about thirty five hundred feet. I wasn't up super high africa. Main reasons i was on fire away. I did not file a flight land as you know probably very few listeners would have this problem but when sediments fragment you probably need to stop somewhere young so we were we were kind of kind of just on an the our flight plan all away and having a good time and Joying enjoying barklay gut. It's the you had about a three hour flight or so home beautiful day. You just had a fabulous vacation with your husband. And you just kinda sauntering back really you know you're going to stop somewhere and you're up at three thousand feet which looks like maybe it's roughly a thousand feet ag l. or sos based on the terrain up there in that part of the country. And just flying back enjoying yourself until all the sudden you kind of start to smell a little bit of something in. Did you say you saw some smoke. Pretty much immediately fell the cockpit and you know when when that happens you always think through what that might look like in in just in our training figure out what your action plan is but until that happens to you. It's really startling. So the first thing i did was has started troubleshooting. Okay is it. Electrical is clearly a fire knows. I opened up the windows just to try to get some mayor his. Obviously i'm very cognizant of of what i'm reading that i'm you open. Open up the windows. He'll the cabin heat. Which is a crucial component. When it came down to it once they killed the cabin he smoke stopped so it was like okay you know. It's it smelled oil. A tell it was something like that and at that point dover might well pressure gauge and it was at zero at that point mike. My husband's a mechanical engineer. He's used overcrowded in a drone engines. Actually so he's very aware of of what that means is well. Luckily i was already talking to air traffic control since i was on the afar calling for that that type of a trip so immediately off with them and get them to try to at least for me to the closest

These welsh highlands offer outdoor adventures and gorgeous backdrop and drama countless tourists each year. Well skied martin. The land of its is here to help us make the most of our time in snowdonia martin. Thanks for being here. Thank you for having made eric. So i've been to your home. Snowden is right in the backyard you grew up there in northern wales snowden in snowdonia national park mean to you. It's the place. I tend to walk quite a lot. It's just a huge and beautiful area. When i say huge. It's massive eight hundred and twenty seven square miles but you don't see that many people in it feels massive because it's it's windy. It's stark pristine small roads and not allow the crowd. Helped tall is mount. And it's the massive height of three thousand six hundred fifty feet above sea level at its peak but because it rises more or less out of the sea. Yeah it has the aspect of bigness about it. It's so interesting because here on the west coast of the united states. Three thousand five hundred feet. It's like sort of a medium mountain pass. Yes that for britain. That's a big peak. That's i mean. Ben davis is the highest on in britain under a few mountains over four thousand into the snowdonia national park. You have all of wales's peaks over three thousand feet high. And as i think only one peak england's over three thousand and this is the north of wales in. I've traveled on affair bid. And i just if you got limited time. I would recommend the north. The peaks only Less than four thousand feet but didn't The british climbers of mount everest actually practice in the canary. They practicing that. Nobody had ever used oxygen on a mountain before and they had a stroll round. They had two systems an open and the closed they got other closed. System is much better but what they didn't realize when they got onto everest. The thousand closed system froze so they the luckily they had a couple of open systems with them but they had some rugged enough areas in north wales where they thought they could have some practice there. And you to some mountain they're not resorts there. Sort of hiking centers or something. There's some beautiful towns There's a temple beth. Lert have to guess who described beth gillard. Well it's a mountainous area and therefore towns villages they nestle in the valleys. they don't sit on top of hills and bear galette which means galaxy grave is Is in little bowl with rivers running through it stone building. Oh yes everything's built of stone. I have everything is built a stone. Don't bridges over the babbling thrown bridges. And of course slate roofs because wales used to be these slate production center of the world at one time. That's right so when we think about going to north wales as a visitor and we wanna do some hikes. What advice would you give for enjoying the nature of snowden national park and bringing up some calories at the same time you can hike at all levels. Mt snowden itself with as it is in. Welsh is an attraction. And there's railway that runs up so if you don't want to walk for three hours just take the train and this is kind of a cute little tourist steam train yell it goes from clan sambas up to the top and that's a family day out it is. It gets crowded what was going to say is that snowden is like a magnet people have heard of it people know that so that eight hundred and twenty seven square miles so get away from snowden. You'll see fewer and fewer people which is a lovely thing. It is very emptier. It is and if you wanted to have some rugged memory you could hike it without the steam train. Take what five hours or three hundred zero five hours up down if if you know it. It's a nice day. it's a lovely day. Beware say this flatter. Beware of times of year like easter. Right when it's considerably the top dress. Well okay archaeologist martin delenda Our guide right now on travel with rick. Steves to mount snowden and snowdonia national park. it's near where. He makes his home in northern wales. When we're enjoying the great nature anywhere in britain if you want experienced the industrial age sleet industry. The heritage in wales. What are your suggestions. I would suggest inflammatories itself now. We suddenly mountain railway goes up and better better. You have part of the national museum of wales. The slate museum of the north. There is no charge to go in and to me it's fascinating i go there myself. I dropped in. It's very well done. It is well done. But it's it's a museum in its it. Duplicates replicate some sort of slices of life from those days. But you can actually go into a mind and you can take the lifts down and experience. What would you recommend if you want to actually put a hard hat and doing. I would go to blame of his synagogue. Leno festina neha with this. What what festina starts with two fs. Yes f- f- and then through two hours and when you l. is pronounced l. but to el-zor pronounced esh okay so that be f- that initials of the town's name in when you see that you know. That's the quintessential slate mining town just outside of town. There's the liquid mine from say embarrassed with is about. I'd say comfortable drive on the wrong side of the road that is it's a bat and now has maybe forty five minutes when you going to tour a mine. What does that entail you. Go in told history of the mind you see how it worked and then people will demonstrate slate into you have to understand that everybody in the region was employed in the slate industry chewy and they can split that slate. It's just like incredible. They'll make shingles them. You can get it down to a sixteenth of an inch even less sixteenth of an inch now as a traveler real fun part of his in northern wales assistant to hear the the choirs inaction and I understand a lot of towns. They have a practice the same day every week interest actually welcome usually it's tuesday wednesday midweek and You go along making contribution. Why wouldn't you sure is like the practice for everything. It's almost more interesting. Interestingly the event oh it's so convivial so and culture and then afterwards they're done singing what are they do. They go over to the bar and they sing some more. They sing better with lubricated voices. It's beautiful thing and as a traveler. You become a temporary welsh person. And he joined by.

Some of what i was going to say is that snowden is like a magnet people have heard people know that so that eight hundred and twenty seven square. Miles will get away from snowden. You'll see fewer and fewer and people which is a lovely thing. It is very empty area. It is and if you wanted to have some rugged memory you could hike it without the steam train. Take what five hours or so three hundred. Well five hours up and down if you if you know. It's a nice day. It's a lovely day. Beware say this flat up. Beware of times of year like easter when it's considerably cooler the top dress. Well okay

Incident: Wings AT72 at Ambon on Jul 3rd 2020, Failure of All Instruments
"A. Wings Eighteen, seventy, two or eighteen, seventy, two dash. Two, one to. At Ambon, which is in Indonesia was flying from Ambon to Babbo with forty nine passengers and three crew D my Indonesia accent. Yeah. I think you make an APP. I am was in the initial climb out of Ambon Putnam, Laura Airport's runway to just when just after becoming airborne all display units, standby instruments, communication and multifunction control display unit failed. All of it. The landing gear lever not good. No landing gear lever could not be retracted. Climbing through about two thousand feet the display units one and three partially recovered showing speed and altitude indications again, and about three thousand feet communication and remaining displaying its intermittently recovered and the landing gear retracted. They put their landing gear lever up and then finally goes. Okay. Yeah. Sure. You're up. You sure. It wasn't doing a Microsoft update or something might have been. So. I'm thinking. If this were instrument meteorological conditions. I believe we will be reading about the accident and terrible tragic crash of this flight however could easily be yeah without any insurance when you're going to do not ways up, right. Thankfully the weather was not quite as bad. I mean it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't IMC apparently. and they were able to maintain. Reference to the. Queues outside to keep the airplane flying straight and level and climbing all stuff aircraft stop the climate four thousand feet position for return to runway for about thirty minutes after departure but went around and enter to hold at seven thousand feet. The aircraft subsequently landed back on runway four, one hour fifty minutes past. Departure. In Asia Cayenne KT which I guess is there investigatory agency rated the occurrence a serious incident? Yeah. Open an investigation. There were no injuries and the aircraft sustained minor damage doesn't really say. How I can recall. Let's see. Then they go into a little bit more detailed by the way this is from the aviation. Excuse me. Aviation Herald. Let's see the weather during the situation was raining and the ground visibility was six kilometers. So you know wasn't. Great with not great. Let's see the. Starting process of the engines was normal when the aircraft taxied in lined up for runway to to. The aircraft took off and after airborne, the pilot verified the idol gate lever engaged I don't know what that is something to do with props. I guess suddenly all five display units and the integrated electronic standby instrument i. e s I went blank and the VHF radios burr off. the pilot glance to the overhead panel several lights eliminated. Consisting of the shed light on the D. C. Service utility busts, the available light on the external power push buttons. That problem they. Hit a great big generated. Along. With the we're just getting of course Pack lavatory detection engine boost. Hey we have a lavatory, we detected there. during the Situa- we just talked about that the pilot did not have flight instruments as reference for flight therefore, the pilot flew visually. about one minute. So everything came back and let's see why is it that they ended up holding for a while they run some checklist or something that the deal oh, I think he was waiting for the weather to improve. A bit before they came in for their landing. Yeah. Sensible. Relying, his attitude indicators. And other instruments. Yeah. Urinate Visual Reference Yeah. That was smart. So you know you'd think that was this the airplane that was kind of Pretty new or was that another one lows? Let's see Oh. August fourth twenty seventeen. Yeah. So it's Relatively, new airplane Not, sure. Exactly. What happened there some kind of electrical. Weirdness apparently yeah. I mean a supply problem but the thing that really concerns me as if you get a supply problem to you main instrument panels. Avis or whatever type of aircraft urine you would expect perhaps to lose some. But the one thing that should you should always bail rely on is you standby instruments they should be from a completely separate power sauce. Often. Just connected almost directly to the battery so that regardless of what else you've lost, you've got something to go on to help fly the airplane. the fact that he lost his signed by insurance as well. makes me seriously concerned about the architecture, the electrical system of of this aircraft. If, they find a full of manages to take out. So many buzzes by all buses that they also lose their same standby instruments that for me is a major concern. Yeah. I'm wondering if if that was something about the way, the electrical system was designed and manufactured or maybe. There was some kind of maintenance done to the airplane and they didn't connect all the bits and bobs correctly. I don't know I saw. The aircraft should be so capable on the ground before they get on something incorrect deep rooted of self diagnosing electrical problem If they wouldn't have got to have on, they had known that they had a major potential right room with their instruments. Sure. So this is just It happens. On a bus of had some problems in the pasta with unexpected glitches which have taken out all the display units but never have I heard of an Airbus having a problem with standby simultaneously that that is just nine national that is not supposed to happen. Ever. But did apparently in this case, and thankfully, the weather was good enough for them to maintain control their come. We had some pundits who had enough skill to bail to continue to fly the airplane the even relatively poor visibility with. Right around which meant horizon, the visual horizon would have been indistinct. They managed to interpret what was happening to the aircraft in their Themselves and not get fooled and not getting a situation where they lost control. So fantastic
Uncontrolled Airspace: General Aviation Podcast
Jetpack over LA: Fact or Fiction?
"Saw reference to this on twitter yesterday too. And so people I don't know what we're David. You know we're talking about here. Breath. So there are reports from airline pilots apparently, there are reports line pilots are saying this. I don't know if I've actually heard an airline airline pilot reporting but that that while on on the approach to lax, I think yesterday. They saw quote unquote a guy in a jet pack at altitude. And it's like. It's twenty twenty innings possible. I mean just right but. What have you heard anything that makes you think this could be real. It's twenty twenty anything anything can happen. Ain't that the truth well back that they seem to have gotten. Audio from. The aircraft in. The Tower. Off. Of a presumed Pasco site. that. Would lend a little credence to the to the story. If you know from a live ATC. I didn't bother to click on the links here to to you know I'm just doing the local TV stations. This is from. The war zone actually from the drive DOT COM, they're they're section called the warzone airline pilots landing at LAX report quote a guy in a jet pack unquote flying alongside them It's like, okay This was some guy in a Moonie. Okay. Yeah. Maybe not but according to this news report there's three different airliners. We just passed a guy. No jetpack. And this was. According to according to the tower tower transmission made on the frequency. To jet, blue twenty-three use caution a person in jetpack reported three hundred yards south of the La final at about three thousand feet ten mile final. That's a little segment audio. Save so suddenly. That's so now is this a do we? I don't know what kind of jetpack. Yeah. That's my question is it a? Is it a sort of a James Bond type of jet pack or is it these more recent guys who were jet? Wing? And fought. Because that's the pictures that they've. Looked down lower in the story as an example, they're not saying this is the incident. But there showing other showing. Images, they have of. Of this is the jet man the. Jet called free also but yeah. Rossi's jet man that's that's yeah. emerets did a thing a stunt I don't WANNA call. It was a promotion. That's true. Three four years ago. Where they had this guy, the jet man fly in formation with I. Don't know if it was a three eighty or trip seven but. The image. Here is a four engine I'd say it's a three eighty. Three. Right. He's He's got about half flaps. Put Slow flight in your book right over the top of Dubai and with two of these these jetpack guys. It's hard to tell from the image. But. It looks like they're a good five well, good couple of hundred feet. Above to the left of this three eighty. Is the Radio Tower American nine, hundred and ninety seven. We just passed a guy in a jet pack and our says, American. Nine, hundred seven. Okay. Thank you. Okay well, this is like off to talk to one seventy, two Andrew. This is he he flies overhead lax more or less daily going to and from work. And I'll have to see what he knows about this sky with must have been. Like A shorts three, sixty or something he's like because he says, we just saw the guy passing bias in the jetpack. So I don't know if he could be going the other way but. The JAMPAKHAO, ran this guy whistling. That's embarrassing. Yeah. That's I mean it's gotTa. Be a turtle prop. No RJ captain in there and self respecting RJ captain would fly that slump. Well he's on he's on vinyl. Still doing. You Know Buck Forty Bucks Sixty. Okay well. But I'm sure jetpack guys go faster than one, hundred and forty. Meter not at least. Once. All right well. You know we're we're obviously interested in more evidence. Yes. Yes. We want to hear more accounts of this and I will check in with one seventy two drew just because he's plugged into that community in Long Beach a lot. So where the he may have some some behind the scenes information about what happened over the. Thing that jumps out at me here. Is that. If he's on final. For La. At three thousand feet and ten miles out. It has to be something like Rossi's jetpack because none of the other stuff go ten miles. Right, I wouldn't think that the James Bond if there is even a flying James Bond jetpack these days I, don't know and that was the only good for. Thirty seconds. And that's when I first heard and the first the first report of this I saw on twitter was accompanied by a picture of that jet pack in the Air Right and I thought I sort of thought it was an actual picture which I don't think you now in retrospect that it was but. anyways. So all right. Well I don't know whether we'll learn more about this or not. But when I first heard about this, if saw this whatever was I, thought it was one of those. Fan like a fan driven. Jet. Packs Ah. Some some people have taken to putting just like you do a drone use a lot of motors. They, they've created some some contraptions that that have motors and turn small productive propellers basically -ducted fans. And get off the ground and get off. But basically, it's like a helicopter. So it's Ok off the ground but I don't think they have the altitude duration or speed to do this well. We know that they did it very long. So it did it. They did it for three or four minutes? Three or four different arrivals. So yeah. Yeah. Three or four three different arrivals and figure they're spaced about a minute apart Hey. Okay.
There I Was...
Loren Kopseng: Bird Strike at Night
"Your recently chatting with Marc Baker. Offend of yours and you shared with him some pictures of. You had a bird strike in your beloved. Husky. So do you mind sharing that story with us? We're we're in what we doing how did it happen? We were hunting pheasants in southern South Dakota, a friend of mine, and we hundred up the other short October thirtieth. North here where we live. In five o'clock start to get dark probably five thirty and we got out of this hunting place. So we landed in. Fargo in the dark from southern South Dakota South Appear South Dakota gradually, the town Dallas, and I just came out of a farm. Land Right at this camp where we hunted and I came Outta there I'd feel that Pierre South Dakota way down. So I- plenty of fuel to get to Fargo North Dakota. Dropped my friend off in the dark refueled and started to Bismarck and it was. Also a night ceiling was like A. Twenty, five, hundred, three, thousand feet, which was fine and abused was okay. But my Husky that I had was via foreign the airplane I had replaced the attitude indicator with an electronic one with a decent. Attitude indicator and a ball. So it's basically. A little better than needle airspeed but not much but enough to fly at night if I had to. Actually cost of Fargo heading towards Bismarck North Dakota and I, could see occasionally I was getting a little bit of something. So I put my light on and. I was getting some snow and my airplane doesn't have PTO. Wasn't bad snow but I could see it in the lights and strobes. But I still like it visibility and I was blow the clouds and so I just put her long thirty five hundred feet. Fargo is nine hundred feet above sea level Bismarck in sixteen, Seventy Four. So I'm. Heading west from Fargo North excluded Bismarck North Dakota thirty five hundred feet so roughly fifteen hundred feet above the ground. You know. Easter Bismarck and I've just bad jomon happy trucking along my GPS is working I checked into bismarck approach control. I was squawking the code they gave me and you know just going home all of a sudden. Bo The windshield came in on me and my first reaction was. Airplanes. facture my shop. Why would the windshield break in on me and there was something covering my right I didn't know what it was my glasses. Were smashed my headset. Knocked off it went in the back seat. There was a tremendous amount of cold air hitting. He was about twenty degrees at night. And the bird that hit me I had no idea what it was really came through the front windshield high and took the roof out HUSKIES got plexiglas on the roof to trip that out and then it blew the left windows out. Don't know how but the left window system and yet the the bottom of the flap and cut yet and hit the tail. At, this point in my life I have to, you know bifocals readers so I could see anything. Looking down for a frequency and so lauren cannot partially there for a second. So you just flying back from a nice weekend hunting trip. It's at night snow in a little bit but visibility is good. Just a dark night I presume with overcast. But you're over pretty flat terrain out there North Dakota and it's interesting to me. You didn't hear a loud Bam or the first thing you notice was just your windshield caved in and for a few minutes it sounds like you had no idea why I didn't have any idea. What happened until I got it on the ground other than the windshield came in. I told you the approach control guys I found my headset backseat and cut it up and got it on and told I got a windshield and they were asking me if I wanted to emergency they were voted me about that and I'm trying to fly the airplane and they sure get to see on the ground and I don't Della -mergency please you know slummy fly this thing and so I was able to slow down slightly I didn't WanNa. Definitely wanted to get it on the ground quick but I had a good engine. It was running fine no vibration and control the airplane. I L runs and everything was working right and so I had to airplane from then on it was mainly. So cold in there, it took a big chunk of the top of the airplane out so. I had a tremendous airs, twenty degrees at night. so as immediately, really cold and swansdown helps some. But not much and So I had about twenty five miles to get it to where I live Bismarck. Fortunately, there wasn't any win that night they lit up of a runway for me to one which. Pretty much straight in. I was really glad to get it on the ground and glad they didn't have a serious crossman to deal with or anything else. But I was not able to switch over to our tower frequency or a ground control. But my friends were working in the tower they've been working with me for twenty five miles. And I sold my hey, I can't see that. The frequency. You GotTa land me on approach and taxi me on approach which they did Bismarck's relatively small community in and I knew the tower guy at that time. That was really about it. I got it on the ground and got it our hangar where we got some lights on it, and then I began to see what really happened.

FBI investigating report of 'guy in jetpack' flying 3,000 feet in air at LAX: 'Only in Los Angeles'
"The Air Bird plane. No none of those things true story here at LAX airline pilots reported seeing something very, very strange in the sky way you hear the back and forth here here it is.

Americans find oil in Saudi Arabia - Mar. 3, 1938
"Today is March. Third Twenty twenty. The Day was March third. Nineteen thirty eight. A group of oil prospectors working for an American company discovered a commercially viable source of Petroleum Mayor Demaim in Saudi Arabia since then Saudi Arabia has consistently been one of the world's top oil producers. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was established in one thousand nine hundred eighty two when even so combined four regions into one st through conquest even so called for searches for oil a resource that had demand and would be big source of income for a country that needed a boost in its economy in nineteen thirty three. Saudi Arabia signed a contract with the Standard Oil Company of California. Also known as so cow. So cal was granted the right to prospect for oil in Saudi Arabia's eastern provinces side note. So cal is now. Chevron in September of that year American geologist arrived in Saudi Arabia to begin surveys of the land by car airplane. A couple of months later the California Arabian Standard. Oil Company was formed. Cassocks name was later changed to Arabian American Oil Company or Aramco. Geologists began surveying an area around ideological formation near the city of Demaim on the east coast of the country drilling. The first began in April of nineteen thirty. Five in terms of the second whale started in February of Nineteen thirty six soon. More wells were authorized in the area. Those wells did produce some oil but most of them eventually produced more water than oil. Demaim Oilwell number seven at first seemed like it would also be fruitless. The well reached more than three thousand feet beneath the earth. And no water or oil had been found but chief geologist Max. Steiner key thought that they would find oil in the will and he told the company to keep drilling they did and on March third nineteen thirty eight. They struck a significant amount of oil within three weeks. The well had produced over one hundred thousand barrels of oil. In the beginning the oil was sent to. Bahrain barred for export but in nineteen thirty nine. The first tanker load of oil was shipped overseas now. That castle had found oil. It continued mapping and exploring Saudi Arabia looking for more by nineteen forty nine Kazakh. Now Aramco had reached a production of five hundred thousand barrels per day by nineteen fifty. The Trans Arabian pipeline. Had Begun Operations Aramco already paid Saudi Arabia a fee and other benefits but that year. Aramco began to split its profits but the Saudi government nineteen seventy-three the Saudi government purchased twenty five percent of Aramco by the next year it increased. Its stake to sixty percent and in one thousand nine hundred eighty all of course oil rights production apparatus and facilities came under government control by this time demaim oilwell number seven alone have produced more than twenty seven million barrels. Eight years later the company became Saudi Aramco over the next few decades. The company continued to expand its operations and production fuelling Saudi Arabia's economy of course oil production in Saudi Arabia has been an issue closely tied to economics politics and the environment today. Saudi Arabia is the world's second largest crude oil

A jetpack company just reached a major milestone in our quest to fly like Iron Man
"Calls it's time now for special feature that I like to call tomorrow's tech today because I want to take a look at where exactly the future is headed and this week we're gonna start with a staple of the sci fi world for many years it's the jet pack and you really need to watch this if you have a commando community membership you see the crown prince of Dubai shared a video of her French wingsuit pilot and it definitely looks like something out of a movie he's wearing the jet wing made by a company called jet man do by editor chief to major milestone BC before now I was at a loss from helicopters that's scary but for the first time the jetway was able to take off from the ground soar into high altitude flight about six thousand feet into the air is powered by for many jet engines pretty slick you can turn come to a full stop however and the pilot was able to reach speeds of almost a hundred fifty miles per hour climbing three thousand feet in thirty seconds before deploying a parachute what do you think crash you ready you are yes sure I'll do it I will be that person who can do just strap it on and just go for it my hands are getting sweaty just watching that video he goes up so high he's so fast and he looks like a month because of the antenna as a bonus hello yeah it can it can only stay airborne for thirty minutes so you can't go far but I was the good thing and good thing the Ironman didn't fall in the water because that would be the I. on man the candidates for the flat iron man the definitely yes

The Truth You May Not Know
"Brady meters. We'll come back so you know. Recently I was in Palm Springs Springs. It's a trip that I make quite often with the family. My mother-in-law move down there. So you know we're back and forth quite a lot and the trick is mostly flown at seven thousand five hundred weather permitting and then you kind of pop up to nine thousand five hundred or so. Just where the hatch P. mountains sort of spill off into the Mojave Desert and Palm Springs is surrounded by mountains. So I really. I was thinking about leaning on the way down you know how we teach leaning. How Eileen just watching? When I'm flying with the family in a rental aircraft where I'm paying by the hour by the way and and getting reimbursed for fuel but I really started thinking about it and I ran a couple of polls one on twitter instagram? where I just ask people if they were ever taught that you lenient? In below seventy five percent power. I was shocked to see that on instagram. The majority hadn't heard that and on twitter. It was split fifty fifty so I felt like so you know I get asked the question often about should eileen or do I have to lean or so it seems that people might be confused about Wendelin while I was down in Palm Springs. I just grabbed a camera. It's so quiet down. There in the desert is beautiful and I started working through some of these thoughts about how I think we should think about in the fight training world how we should think about Lee leaning. What's the goal? Where do we want the people end up when they get their private certificate Because you know what happens now is you just not taught a lot and ends up being the private owners that have to figure it out themselves and and they know quite a lot after a while. So I'm trying to fix that problem for student pilots and I think I forgot to mention it but everything you're about to hear does not apply to turbocharged or Turbo Abo- normalized aircraft. It's for normally aspirated engines. Only anyhow. Here's exactly what I said. Well almost exactly what I said when I grab that camera in Palm Springs and if you want to see for some reason my talking head walking around the golf course saying this Video is up on Patriots so anyway. Here's some thoughts on leaving. You know a lot of pilots really don't understand leaning and the flight training environment is not conducive to learning good leaning habits and so what we tend tend to do. I think is sort of ignore it and it's not good for really two reasons one is you're not operating you're typically operating at three thousand feet or lower maybe the three thousand five hundred so you know it's not like nine thousand five hundred the leaning you should be done but it's there's no huge consequence if you fail to do it And also we're doing a lot of maneuver based training so often going to full power settings so we start with a mixture full rich just in anticipation of going full power. I'm so we kinda tend to ignore it and what I find. Is You know with my students and with pilots. I fly with even after. They've been certificates. Did they'll look at me when they get to cruise altitude three thousand five hundred kind of timidly touched a red handle and look at me and see my reaction and say eventually. Do we have to lean or do you want me to lean so you know and it's like one of my least favorite questions because it just reminds me how much work there is to do there. So it's a topic that I'm really taking on not just in this podcast also in the latest public youtube video and this podcast right so You know basic principles of leaning. Ideally ideally you have a perfect fuel air mixture To introduce into the cylinders so that the Pistons can compress it seeing inefficient burns you can produce power with a lot of without a lot out of excess soot or carbon or you know explosions or anything like that you get a nice burn and as you go up in the atmosphere the air becomes less and less dance so you need less and less fuel all these are the that's the basics right and then when everyone can tell me about that but you know maybe the devils in the details but it's maybe it's about win like Wendy Lean so if you go oh to the Cessna manual there talking a lot about altitudes three thousand feet five thousand feet and I find that this is what's common if I ask pilots when you lean they'll say well you know usually above three thousand or sometimes I'll say four thousand on but if you go straight to the lycoming manual the manufacturer of the engine and you read it they'll tell you it's appropriate to lean the aircraft anytime you're operating below seventy five percent power so that's the one main point that I want to convey to people is that the whole reason you have those altitudes three thousand feet the five thousand feet because you don't have percent power gauge so they're giving you a convenient device nice to know when you're at an altitude above which you can't produce seventy five percent power but the main thing according to lycoming is that you're leaning the engine when you're operating below seventy five percent power so I think it's important for pilots to understand this. I think this conversation will serve us a lot. Better than the conversation about altitude For example if we're in cruise flight and you're asking me. Do we have to lean. Well are we doing slow flight. Are we gonNA power back and fly in at minimum controllable air speed for the next thirty minutes or are we gonNA cruise along as fast as we possibly can with attack needle just off the red line because in case a I'd want you to lean in case be I wouldn't rate what if we're in a full power climb up to seven thousand five hundred just like I was on the way down here to palm springs. I'll start leaning leaning as I pass through five thousand because that's the altitude at which I'm no longer producing seventy five percent power. I think it's I think it's wise to think about leaning this way because for the reasons I just mentioned also it's a good reminder that your engine is just a big air pump and also once you start to understand what percent power you're operating. Adding Fuel Burns our constant forgiven percent power output so just seems to be a better way like a more direct way of approaching the topic of leaning meaning rather than talking about altitude. I'm in that really just leaves. Then you know how specifically do you lean. And that part's pretty simple you. The Best Power Leans best economy liens and manufacturers recommended which is sometimes one of the first two that we just described best power is the lean setting that gives you the absolute absolutely most amount of power most of flying fixed pitch prop in training. So this is the lean you should learn how to master you take off you up to cruise altitude. Make sure your pitches constant because if you're pitches and constant you're going to see like if you start pitching up you're gonNA see a drop in RPM when it had nothing to do with leaning it was just because you pitched the airplane up so divide your attention get comfortable pulling out until you feel a slight drop in RPM and then bring it back until you get the most power. You've you can get in practice. That like a little micro skill. I would practice practice moving my hand in and I'll just finding that point bringing it back finding that point get comfortable. Divide your attention. Hold your pitch. pull the mixture back until the power starts to drive and bring it back into good at that right. That's easy. That's the best power lead in a fixed pitch prop airplane. If you're flying the one eighty two I was fine. You don't try that and the governor's GonNa keep the prop at the same RPM so you have to have another way and that other way is exhaust gas temperature. That's how we figure out the mixture because it is the temperature of the gas coming out of the cylinder and we are going to learn how to read that temperature and figure out what it means for us. A best power lean would be peak exhaust gas temperature and then come in fifty or in this case like home and saying one hundred degrees rich hundred degrees rich cool on the rich side of that peak exhaust gas temperature and there's your best power Now best economy is the second kind the least amount of gas you can burn so you have to have an easy t h for this. You can't do attack on or so in the Cessnas that we were talking about or the Piper Warriors those airplanes that have fixed pitch prob- you're just going to use those old analog needle GT's and it takes time right. It takes those E. G. T. needles. Move Slow so you're going to start to lean lean lean and wait for that needle come up and lean and lean and lean away fat needle come eventually it comes up so you mark the peak with that little yellow indicator on cross country flights. That's when I would practice this with students but best power leaned for normal flying once you start doing cross countries. You can start playing at that. Exhaust gas asked temperature.

The routine was always the same barrels were collected on the barge until it was full and then it was towed out to the Gulf of the fairlawn where they were dropped into the sea on several occasions glassman recalls a member of the Atomic Energy Commission came on board the ship and told him that the measurements showed the radiation levels. Were too hi. This ship should be cleaned up before the next load but there was another part of glassman's job. He was to shoot holes in the barrels of didn't immediately sync. He says he did his job shooting. Ten to twenty barrels once or twice a week this would lead one to believe that many of the Navy's radioactive waste containers -tainer or barrels were breached before they ever reached the bottom of the sea and became part of what is known as the Farallon Island nuclear waste site glassman notes the carcasses of dead animals mainly dogs and castes constitute much of the cargo barge is tug regularly towed and those animals had been used in experiments Aramis with the naval radiological defence lab. He said there were other kinds of waste in the barrel. Also that from security surrounding certain barrels visitors from from various correctional facilities.

"My favorite comic book character is Spiderman is too bad. There isn't really a spider more like him weld on in twenty nine thousand nine three researchers from Georgia. George reported that they'd discovered a tiny spider in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest that has a behavior that surprisingly similar to the web slinging superhero whole soyoil the spider uses its web as a slingshot. It attaches silken thread to the center of the web and to an anchor point somewhere behind it then it reels the central thread in putting the web under tension and pulling it back into a cone then the spider waits. At the center of the cone when a tasty insect flies by the spider releases the thread and the spider and its web are flung forward like a stone from a sling shot. The unfortunate insect is entangled in the web. and the spider attacks the insect becomes the spiders dinner to catch an insect in flight. The slingshot must be really fast it is the researchers studied the spider using high speed digital video imaging. They found that the slingshots spiders maximum acceleration was more than three thousand feet per second squared. This is a hundred times faster than a Cheetah can accelerate toward. It's prey really want to see this video. Is it on the web they researchers put it on Youtube in two thousand fourteen and as of January twenty nineteen. The video has been viewed more than three hundred thousand times. The slingshot spider is an Internet star. This moment of science comes from Indiana University with production.
