The Stratolaunch Emerges
Not exactly a home built but definitely experimental. Six turbines, 500,000 pounds, 230 foot long with 28 tires. Well, if it doesn't pan out on the business model end of things, Paul will still have plenty of money. Scaled Composites has developed and built some really neat stuff. Burt's...- Traderd

Pilot error once again bites Delta
True that. It didn't help the runway condition report they received wasn't current, but be that as it may, the left seat gets the glory or gets the blame. Seems like if all 14 of the previous landings had a crew using excess thrust with the t/rs, then it might be a sign that's how crews were... -

Amazon Air Cargo
Yeah, outsourced as it were. Will be interesting if the "in house" guys can do a better job at on time than UPS, FedEx and the rest. Looks like the results from 5 were promising. They still have to get the product from the plane to the final destination. No idea if Amazon already has... -
