The replacement software, manufactured by the Intel Corporation, is the same type the company inserts into Nobis, a tablet computer. “Welcome aboard Northern Airlines, this is your captain Mike Anderson…

There is nothing quite like flying a plane. It’s something almost everyone dreams of doing as a little kid, soaring through the sky like our favorite superheroes, but most never get to experience it. When approaching the Mooney 201, one might get a feeling of anticipation while looking at the beautiful shape of the cockpit as it slopes back toward the tail. The tail of a Mooney 201 is unique because it can actually be adjusted on its axis. My family owns a 201, ours is the 1983 model and has a…

cologne. In another ad there is a group of friends all wearing suits gathered around a pool table. Again the ad is implying that by using or wearing their product, the consumer’s life will be improved. The last ad pictured an expensive jet on the runway, and beside it…

There are decisions being made whether there should be a third runway for Heathrow, which would of course cause a massive increase in air pollution in the Southall and hownslow area. I don’t think they should build another runway in Heathrow as the current Heathrow airports are already highly developed.

On the third of June, Japanese planes attacked Dutch Harbor, Fort Glenns, and Mears in the Aleutians. Along with the attack on Australia, this was meant to be an attack that distracted and diverted the American fleet; however, due to the intelligence, the USN knew Midway was the main objective and was not dissuaded in any way. Even though the attack damaged Dutch Harbor severely, in the end, it hurt Japan far more than helping due to the loss of a slightly damaged Zero, which was recovered by…

boarded, the flight attendant went over the emergency evacuation drills. Once they went over everything the plane started to slowly move. People outside of the plane with orange sticks directed the plane to the runway. I got a window seat so I could see a lot. Once we were on the runway, the plane went so fast I was stuck in my chair. The plane felt like it was going straight up as fast as it could. Once the plane started becoming level you could see the entire city of Columbus. All the…
