Made an emergency landing in St Louis. Problem corrected itself in flight.
I wonder just how long it will be until the DUmmies consider this a part of the VRWC ??
-
give 'em time.
-
They'll use this as another excuse for the re-regulation of the airline industry.
-
when will they learn that we own the sky and the airplanes? oh, and the voting machines.

give 'em time.
I give it five se...Oh wait, here we go (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6464892).

6. What I mean by that is that we can no longer depend on the MSM
to tell us what is really going on. Journalists/newscasters no longer ask questions or investigate anything anymore - they simply repeat what they've been told.
I wonder if Sen. Obama or his plane was threatened in someway.

7. wow....What a shitty thing to say.

9. WTF! Cool off, dude!
I don't know what the Obama Camp has said - I only know that we can't count on the MSM to tell us the truth about anything.
For all we know, Obama's plane was grounded to secure his safety because there was some kind of threat made against him or his family. And they are using this malfunction story as a cover. That's what I meant.
You need to take that chip off your shoulder, and maybe shove it up your, well.... you know where!

12. I wouldn't put it past the Bushies to have one of their plumbers "Wellstone" him...
I don't put anything beneath the Bush administration. Absolutely nothing.

10. Let me guess....you're another useful idiot that believes
everything you hear because you hear it on television.........it never occurs to you that someone/some group is shaping the message that you're getting.
I bet you believe that everything is going just "swell" in Iraq, too, don't you?

I can set my watch by it *eyeroll*

We get a decent amount of IFE's (In Flight Emergencies) here every week. I guess those are all because of pilots families being threatened as well... :whatever:

I find it hilarious that the DUmmies are already invoking the Wellstone crash!!! Did they NOT learn to read ?? Wellstone's crash was due to inclement weather (icing conditions). Many aircraft crash are due to icing. Can we say, "Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens" ?? Ohh, how quickly we forget general aerodynamics. :whatever:

That's because they mess up all of these great conspiracy theories.

Heh, if they only knew the real truth. :fuelfire:

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the pilot of Wellstone's plane only VFR rated and shouldn't have been flying in inclement weather.

Paul Wellstone's pilot was JFK Jr?

While flying from Chicago to Charlotte, the pilot's first officer announced at 9:40 ET, that they were experiencing "controllability issues" with the MD-80, describing it as a "minor little problem" but significant enough to force the unscheduled stop.
STORY ON ABCNEWS (http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/07/obamas-campaign.html)
Ah HAAA! "controllability issues" = the plane kept turing left. :-)

problem? what problem?

Well, you know, the VRWC does have an office in the basement of your building. It's right next to the Roswell office.

Well, for one to understand general aerodynamics one has to understand complex mathematical equations. For one to understand complex mathematical equations, one has to have attended AND participated in a qualified educational system that taught sound complex mathematical equations and that one also has to posses a modicum of common sense.
Sorry DUmmys, Gay African womYn bong-n-bead art studies will NEVER give you the foundation to understand complex mathematical equations let alone general aerodynamics.
Bummer eh?

I don't understand why this is such a big story. I mean, who cares if his plane had problems . . . the man
can fly, right? :whatever: :-) :rotf: :tongue:

No. He can only walk on water.

Why in the hell is he cruising around on such an old jet? An MD-80? I cringe when I see that equipment is to be used on one of my route legs.

We get 5 of those in a day here from Japan Air Lines. Their not that old. Production didn't stop until 1999 on them.

STRIKE ONE !!!!!
"The game ain't over 'til it's over, then it's over.", thank you Yogi.
Anybody checked to see if Hillary is taking a crash course in areonautical engineering?

What they didn't report was there was someone out on the wing and it was trying to rip it apart. One of the passengers got a picture of it. Here is the one picture from the VRWC office. The passenger was said to say that the person on the wing kept crying out about buying tickets on Priceline .com.

If something does happen to Obama during the election process, I would bet $100 the culprit would be a disatisfied liberal and NOT a member of the conservative party.

Yup it's a bad plane. We retired ours a few years ago.
When we get rid of our B737-300s I will be a happy camper.

Aren't all liberals dissatisfied?

True, sort of an oxymoron. :-)

In which case the media would never tell us. Because in the twisted world of Liberals ONLY Republicans/Conservatives have the capacity to do something like that.

No, but we can sure assume a whole lot if BoÑдt Osama's carcass turned up with a "double-tap" suicide in Ft. Marcy Park.

Really? What about the later model 737's? Hell, I did a paper on Southwest, and how they were able to build a reputable company and stay profitable, while getting my business degree.

Seems that the tail slide deployed while in flight. For those that don't know, there's an exit at the very rear of an MD-80. Not a side exit, straight out 'da back. MD-80's are the ones that have a
pinched off looking tail.

Shades of that Twilight Zone program where Shatner was a passenger who went crazy when he saw a gremlin on the wind ripping off wing panels.

I used to work for them. Good company.

I used to work as a 'Manufacturing-Engineering Liason' for BOEING. (Means that when the airplane wasn't coming together, I was the one - among others - who grabbed the drawings and went down on the shop floor to figure out who screwed up where.)
I loved working on those 'planes, and I'm still of a mind that 'If it's not BOEING, I'm not going.' I absolutely could not stand the management mentality that led to 80% of the problems I dealt with.
-
Boeing's had PLENTY of problems, especially with the 37 platform.........
Of course, we could discuss the Boeing Vertol platform....... :o

I'm not saying they don't. I would just trust my happy ass to a 737-whatever loooong before I'd be comfortable sitting it in the Citreon of the skies.

And of course the VRWC also made all those speakers turn Wellstone's funeral into a loony left circus. Rove, you magnificent bastard!

We have a winner. That is exactly what I was trying to parody. Especially after the 4Th of July Twilight Zone Marathon on TV I thought it was appropriate.

I liked the version with John Lithgow a little better than the Shatner version. Lithgow was in TZ, The Movie.

Like Rush (I think) said, hussein will be peddling this as his "getting shot down" experience and say he matches McCain now.
