When airlines started charging for the first bag it drove me crazy. They just nickel and dime you to death. Some are even charging for drinks and water! So how much money could you even make charging for bags? Well I guess the jokes on me, cause it turns out to be over a billion [...]
My name is Zac, and I have an addiction. Call them UAVs, The Predator, or the X-45, either way, I LOVE drones. And that pic above is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen! This one is a close second. Sure they are making a big deal out of them in the media [...]
Do you remember the story about how someone “accidently” leaked the plans of the new Marine One. Need a refresher? Here you go. What seemed to be such a big deal shrunk just a little bit when Obama axed the program to try to save money. But Don’t worry, in an effort to get a [...]
I have read three stories today about how hackers are going to hack the FAA computers and make all the planes just crash into each other. Personally, I have more fear of Samuel L Jackson showing up, cause then you know some real shit is going to go down. The United States’ air traffic control [...]
