I'd be willing to bet that your local Kroger doesn't have this many flavors.

And we found this too ...

San Diego Airport KSAN Approach Parking Structure

The "Famous" KSAN parking garage.

It's just a common-sense non-precision approach : "LOC RWY 27," so just RNAV.

Obstacle is off-centerline, with displaced threshold.

But things happen fast on the step-down : VYDDA-OKAIN-CIJHI-REEBO.

SCAN SCAN SCAN : Attitude Airspeed Altitude Heading Localizer Needle VSI

Please be courteous and don't leave tire skidmarks on top of the parking structure. There have been a couple times that they made guys pay to have it repainted.

We're posting this on our website just so some other slimeballs can post it on their websites as if they owned it. Plus we like JetStars.

These guys found a good place to watch jets.

Airplane Life Comments on MH 370

As we now know that someone stole the plane, we would like to make these observations and suggestions:

1) The concern is not where they took the plane, but where it is NOW.

2) Anyone with the capability to steal a 777 also has the capability to refuel it and take it somewhere else.

3) The plane is likely no longer in the region being searched.

4) Anyone with the capability to steal a 777 also has the capability to change it's livery.

5) While everyone is looking for a Malaysian 777 under a tarp at a remote airfield in Africa, the plane could be in a different livery sitting out in the open at an airport in South America.

6) All 777's worldwide should be grounded and their identity verified.
