The historical museum I choose to visit was the Palm Springs Air Museum which has been opened since 1996 and is a non-profit organization. I visited this museum on the 17 of November. The Museum boast thirty-eight aircrafts all from small fighter jets to massive bombers. As well as groups, people, and weapons that were significant in war times during World War Two. While their taking in all the different types of airplanes and how each one was used to help in the war, there was one airplane that…

What is the current level of turbulence in this case for Dr. Smith? Mrs. Wilson? Mrs. Martin? Provide evidence to support your response. Currently, I would assess Dr. Smith’s level of turbulence to be moderate, however, due to the vulnerability of this situation his actions could negatively influence this level. Shaprio and Gross (2013), indicated that moderate turbulence is not normally a part of how an organization operates, and is prompted by important issues that need to be solve. In this…

Every bomber crew dreamed of flying a B-17 “Flying Fortress”. Mac “Sharkie” LaQuain and his crew were lucky enough to be assigned to one. The B-17 got its nickname because of its size and firepower. Mac once served as a co-pilot on a B-25 Mitchell, another bomber, but was moved to serve as pilot of the B-17, with a new crew. Their names were Jake “Nobleman” Noble, the chin turret gunner, Scott Filippe, the co-pilot, Joseph Robinson, the waist gunner, Ryder “Aussie” Mein, the navigator,ball…

Because of risky flight conditions, a plane heading from Atlanta, Georgia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July, 2008 almost crashed during its landing.

Try to imagine for a little while that you live in a world without a lot of air. Breathable, inhalable air. Imagine whatever scenario you like; a radiated wasteland, an underwater research facility, a futuristic space ship, a groundbreaking colony on Mars. In this world, imagine that fresh air is both a scarcity and a commodity. Here it is treated like an item, a material good to be bought and sold as if it were an object. An item that with every tick of your heartbeat you need more of to…

The quote, "[The pilot’s] plane is moments from disaster. But he cannot escape the dynamic dictated to him by his culture in which subordinates must respect the dictates of their superiors." represents a major idea of how cultural PDI plays a vital role in plane crashes. In the second sentence of the quote, it says “that he can't escape the dynamic dictated to him by his culture”. This is the idea of cultural PDI and this causes mitigation and other various harmful things that can lead to a…

Aircraft that got anywhere near Russian airspace were shot down which made it almost impossible to gain intelligence on Soviet Russia. Within a month of its first test flight the U-2 attempted to breach the “Iron Curtain” as it was called. As the plane…
