    The outcome?
    It is a bit fuzzy due to time passed but at the time the boat and passengers were in a Norwegian fjord ferried to shore from a larger vessel and headed to church.

    SPLLLLLllll
    Church/religious services work just as well on board. Prayer is when the knee goes down.
    Diffidently a wench removal service.
    I'm not complaining, just have to realize these things., ☺☺

    When that pram came back (IF?), I'm sure it was much lighter..

    I wouldn’t know, been an atheist since the day I started thinking, age 12 or so,
    Nah, nobody in their right mind would remove women, or wenches if you will: Society would break down in filth and homosexuality like in prisons, let’s keep ‘em around. :confused:

    Nah, there is room for everyone, even Karen’s, they are harmless if you look the other way.
    Live and let live is a good philosophy, try it and you may like it.:cool:

    No camera tricks here, just the commercial equivalent of an unrestricted climb:

    Since the airshow was at YMX (where the A220 is assembled) Airbus showed off one of their FTVs with the A220 chief test-pilot at the stick.

    Yep, Bombardier has been doing sidesticks a la Airbus since they started the CSeries (now A220) I think. The newer Globals all use side-stick controls as well.

    One of my threads did a vid on the modern game stick vs ole yoke control a while back (AirBus vs Boeing).

    I tried to find that ole vid, no joy. Better searchers should find it. It was funny.

    I've only pushed 172/182s in real life.
    I had a joystick simulator on my computer.
    With my swamp attitude, I prefer the yoke.

    Right handers in the left seat/left handers in the right seat must have some issues.
