There's an awful lot of empty desert in Nevada where they can practice.

Oops. Helicopter close call in Tasmania in 2024 unreported to safety authorities until video tip-off to ATSB - ABC News WWW.ABC.NET.AU An incident in which a helicopter crew disagreed before the aircraft hit a lake due to pilot miscalculation was not reported...

Is that you on the bike in the poster?

Imagine being in that car that drove straight through the fireball in the second after it hit.

Pretty amazing photos. https://www.twz.com/air/eurofighter-typhoon-canopy-shattering-bird-strike-captured-in-amazing-images

Which makes my point really. Jeezus we put proximity alarms on cars where the bum end is 3m behind you. But we expect RPT drivers to judge clearance on a wingtip which is 30-40m at 45 degrees behind them, going in different directions in a turn.

Oooh, that's pretty.

So if ships are "she" while planes are "he"... Possibly explains why aircraft carriers look pregnant...

Fluid exchanges I reckon.

May be a silly question, but I've seen reporting on several instances of ground mishaps where a wingtip hits something. Why don't they have some sort of proximity alarm when there's a solid object in front of the wingtip?

Just buy a pair and find out!

The only problem with motorbike gloves is that it might be hard to manipulate small switches, toggles etc. Depends on the type I guess. I wear leather gauntlet gloves on the bike and they're not very supple.

I bought and fitted one, but haven't yet started the engine - so not much use to you. Also interested in opinions though.
