Happy Memorial Day from Airplane Life

We speak the words "Thank You" to the spirits and angels ever amoung us. Those who have kept us safe and free ... allwhile the sentiment is expressed silently and through our hearts, nothing said.

So many thoughts on this day to dwell upon.

President Nixon: "Today, on this Memorial Day, 1974, we can all be thankful that for the first time in 12 years, there are no Americans fighting anywhere in the world."

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.

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.

Go! Airlines to Cease Operations in Hawaii

03/08 Aloha declares bankruptcy again.



03/08 Mesa is "days away" from pulling out of Hawaii.



03/31/08 Aloha ceases all flight operations and closes down.



03/08 Mesa instantly becomes a big player in Hawaii, and they have 2 additional planes already here.

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.
