That's great but isn't it illegal to take pictures of American coffins?
Also--it looks like some sort of service was being administered--did you take that shot during the ceremony? Seems a little bit crass don't you think? I mean--taking a picture like that during something like that just to show off on Uber?
=====
google.
I have a bit more respect than that.

Awesome pics...HOWEVER, please tell me whose fucking brilliant idea it was to make starting a plane take so many goddamn steps?!
______________
Of course they could make one button that automatically did all those steps, but the best part about being a pilot is hitting loads and loads of switches. Come on, thats awesome!

As a fellow software engineer, I am inclined to agree with Capt. Thorns.
Even vendorware isn't THAT bad.

Please tell your black friend that I was highlighting the irony of calling what you yourself have described as a picture of child pornography "art", in the same way that you could call a picture of a black guy hanging "art". Art evokes an emotional response, but you can't predict what that response will be for everyone. In essence, you can't choose your audience.
If your picture is art, post it. If it's child pornography, don't. It's your call, as it's your name on the post.

Army helo pilots also live to make people puke.
one time i was on a mission where we dropped stuffed animals and candy and school supplies on a school in Baghdad and we were pretty much going sideways in a circular motion. you could drop something and it would fall straight down... out of the window.
i'm made of fucking nails, but i barely kept myself from puking and/or passing out.

Being a software engineer, if it were me, the rule of simplicity would apply...which means five steps or less.

You aren't marketing these things to Ma and Pa kettle for home use. They for highly trained servicemen who know the aircraft inside and out, people like Cali...
okay maybe five steps would be better.

Being a software engineer, if it were me, the rule of simplicity would apply...which means five steps or less. Just my humble opinion.
But then I guess this DOES deter your average retard from hijacking and crashing a plane.

one time i was in a C-130, diving into Baghdad, and my water bottle imploded.
guess how that made my stomach feel?

Those 130 guys LIVE to make passengers puke.
Never been on a 130 during combat decent. BUt I can imagine it's a bit insane.

Holy fucking christ.
Would it be nerdy to say that I know what every single button and every single sentence on the flight deck means?
Also, the display is correct. No GWPS and no TCAS? You'd better be at FL380 in the middle of the pacific, or you're fucked.

Can't you get Court Martialed for sharing this stuff with the retards of Uber (present company excepted)?
=====
You can get the interior pictures with a simple google search.
THe engine start up procedures... theres a bit more to it than just flipping the switches.
The only thing I'm (slightly) worried about is admitting to flying drunk.

Thanks for the how to start a plane lesson. Will part 2 include how to fly it and give us a map of targets that you'd think would be just wonderful to crash it into? Idjit.
