As you said: The aviation business is in chaos. Earlier on without all the media hype, it used to be fun flying, not now. JS

Dee, before 9-11, as a matter of fact from early 80 to early 90's I used to fly a lot across Canada. Flying in those days used to be fun, as a matter of fact, we used to sometimes catch a flight 10 minutes before takeoff. A briefcase stuffed with all sort of computer equipment and floppy disks. The floppy disks were looked at, and the briefcase was sent through the metal detectors, along with yourself. Now I find flying booooring in having to be at an airport 2 hours before flight time, to check in and then sit in the lounge for the flight to be loaded. JS IMHO.

Dee, I hate to disagree with you about the word greatful. The correct spelling is "grateful", which has a Latin derivation from gratus, meaning pleasing, agreeable, thankful. (Oxford Dictionaries Online). It's also the derivation of gratitude.J

I know the planes have to take off into the wind. So, are the winds ALWAYS coming down the mountains? That is my question!

As was quoted: "Minister Emmanuel suggested that the airport fence be pushed back to the sand’s edge, to reduce the possibility of people harming themselves when airplanes take off." In my opinion have the planes take off over the water from the other end of the runway. This would eliminate the high climb over the mountains. JS

It is surprising that whatever it was, duct tape maybe,?? that this is still fluttering in the wind on the nose cone at probably the 70,000 foot level. This can be seen between 6.45 to 6.55 minutes of the clip. Any one have any explanation as to why this is still attached at such a high speed.
