Horton 229

Not sure if this belongs here , but here goes.

just watched on E4 ,About Hitlers Steath Aircraft.

Very interesting program , Northrop Grumman made a mock up of this aircraft and they said It would of changed the way the Second World War.
It looked decades in front of its time , it also mention that Hitler wanted a long range bomber and that the Horton Bros drew up plans for the Horton 18.

Just think it these aircraft became operational and that Hitler did get his atom bomb.
Very sobering thought

whats with the nutters at the end of the runway at St Maartins.
I WANT TO DO IT 😮

I’m a big fan of Babylon 5. For me the Earth Alliance Starfury fighter and the Earth Alliance Omega class destroyer (best known for the EAS Agamemnon) just look most convincing as space craft.

edited to add: do semi-organic crafts count? The Shadow battle crab are seriously cool. In Top Gear terms they would go in the DB9 freezer! 😉

Just watching B5 again and was just thing about this.
How about the Vorlon ship , very cool.
But top of my list has to be the Minbari white star fleet

Stunning pics , your threads from Moscow have been the best for a long time on here.

No the guy is not seeking employment. But he made controversial and I believe specious claims regarding 9/11 and used his supposed status as an aeronautical engineer and commercial pilot to buttress his claims.

A good reason to make such licenses public is that charter company customers might want to check on the people flying them, asking the pilot to show you his license just before take off would be a bit awkward. I don’t see this as being analogous to a drivers license because (in the US at least) virtually every adult has the latter but only a small number (about 0.25%) the former. Unless the person doing the search would spend a lot of time entering random names they would enter names of people who claimed to be a pilot.

to be honest I dont agree with anything you have put here.
It is not our place to be asking the pilot if he has a licence before we fly on his plane.
In fact I think that is would be extreamly insulting.
I still stick to what I said before , if you have such doubts about the person , theN joining an aviation website to air you feelings in not the right place , you should be callig the Police or the CAA

Yes, it does make sense to have a database of every pilot in the UK, but such a system already exists, and the Civil Aviation Authority knows who can legally fly in this country. Is there a need for it to be made public and abused though? I don’t think so. What about licences for car drivers? Should the DVLA provide access to a database of drivers in the UK, complete with their addresses? No.

If you hold a licence, I can think of only flying schools, employers and the CAA who might need to know that you are permitted to fly. Of course, that list could be added to, but the point I am trying to make is that the general public do not need access to such a database, especially if it is going to be abused. The member who started this thread stated that he wanted to use a database to check up on somebody he believes is lying – hardly appropriate use of such a service!

Data protection laws prohibit personal information being transferred overseas “without adequate protection”. Publishing such information online, which can be accessed as easily as the FAA database, would surely contravene these rules?

Having read the reason why the OP wants the info , I agree with you 100% , using the database like that IMHO is abusing the system.
If the OP has a problem with a pilot he should inform the correct athorites and not take matters in to his own hand.

Well Done
and excellent pic.
