Malaysia Airlines 777 missing
- Thread starter ComplexHiAv8r
- Start date
I got down to 4,392 once, but then the "Summer of Aviation Apathy" hit a few years ago and I'm in the high 40,000's.
The checks are still coming and the weather is nice outside now, so I really don't feel like working on my amateur pilot ranking today.

This job would be easier without all the airplanes
We can see pavement now!
Le sigh
Hey bro, when do the new amateur pilot rankings come out in Canada? Right after Boxing Day or is it Bank Day?
On a related note, I thought it was all permafrost up there!

Bottom of the list
The top 20 places this man gets his news from, number 6 will blow your mind!

Dear CNN,
The "Pinger" you speak of does exist, but not in the reality you're trying to create. Its real name is a ULB, Underwater Locator Beacon. The minimum length of time the ULB must put out its signal is a month, just like everything else in aviation it too is engineered to exceed the minimum requirement by a margin of at least 50%. Stop tryng to invent new names for things that have been in use for many years, it further reduces your credibility.
Best Regards, knot4u

The lamest part is that a ULB doesn't even make a "pinging" sound. It's an ultrasonic pulse and if anything, it sounds more like a dull electronic clicking sound.

I always love the sonar 'ping' in movies. Having listened to it for 4 years on a ship, that is the farthest from the truth.

Huge pet peeve of mine. Right alongside a-ah.. no, just make that "everything in U571".

Could this be true? Is 37.5kHz what they're looking for?

Some things in here don't react too well to bullets.

I think they might have found the Red October.

Read this first thing this morning. My immediate reaction was, why is this being reported until it's verified? Haven't we been through enough false leads already that the media hasn't learned to just sit back and wait a moment before putting forth yet another shrill, overblown headline?

I wonder how many sonobouys will be found before they find a 777.
