does the airport count as pleasurable if the pleasure comes from watching other passengers who have never flown out of john wayne airport before shit their pants?

>5700 foot runway
>freeways on both ends prevent expansion
>757s can just squeeze in
>surprise! noise abatement departure pattern you have to follow too
>get onto runway and throttle up before rolling
>25 degree pitch on takeoff
>followed by immediate pullback of engines at 500 feet
>and immediate 30 degree left turn to stay in the corridor

good times knowing you're about to go on a rocket launch

DCA is a very pleasant airport to deal with. The only shame is having to contend with Dulles when I want to go international. But, rich transit access, good facilities, and minutes from DC proper. Great airport.

all of the nice sks fenders come as a set and either the front 26" one wouldn't work with a suspension fork or the rear one would only work with dick brakes. maybe i missed something, but unless i could buy front and rear individually, which you can't, i couldn't find a set that would work. super annoying. also i didn't want to spend too much.
>>
>>1986608
SKS Velo 65 come as a set mount up flawlessly to either kind of fork and frame. Steel stays are sometimes sold separately and so are suspension fork adapters. But the end result is really solid.
>>
>>1986707
oh i see the optional U-stays and frame clamps now. whoops. without the optional stays, though, the setup is almost identical to what i've got, and i like being able to quickly unclip the fenders when i'm not using them. thanks, though. next time i'll do it right.

The stall alarm only sounded when he pushed the stick forward. When he pulled back, the airplane slowed down so much that it thought it was on the ground, which stopped the alarm.

Yeah, and the collision alert in my car stopped beeping after flooring the gas while I was spinning out, so I kept my foot on the pedal for 10 minutes with no visibility until I got to my destination.

Why are you destroying the environment with your discount bargain bin chinese carbon wheels with no warranty, when you could be saving the environment with the revolutionary new FusionFiber™ that come with a lifetime, no questions asked replacement coverage for the original owner? Sure it costs about 3x as much but think of the moral superiority it gets you

The only problem is it's made in Utah which is full of crazy people, which kinda negates the moral superiority, I'd almost rather send money directly to the CCP at that point

Also discuss wheels and stuff

4. Twitter. Enough said.
5. British "people". Enough said.

Yeah, just ignore that today flights cost like 25€ and are safer than ever before. Bonus if they claim state regulation killed supersonic, not the fact it was massively expensive for passeners and still burning cash for the airlines.
>>
There are many billionaires around the world who would be willing to pay $10 million for space travel. if so, there are people who would buy a ticket for a supersonic flight with a capacity of 30 people, and there are people who would buy an entire plane.
There is a demand, although BOOM is a scam.
>>
>>1985563
10 million for trip to space is one time fee. The thing with supersonic airliner or business jet is that bill to develop it is billions. Business jet would probably be fine with engines nicked from a fighter, but airliner definitely won't be so engine development is going to cost billions. Handful millionaires, even when if couple billionaires would join 'em, don't have enough money to fork upfront to economically uncertain project like supersonic airliner or business jet. There simply isn't enough guaranteed demand for supersonic plane to justify economic risks involved.

Boom lost its engine on moment Rolls-Royce told them fork over the money for engine development. Rolls-Royce made gigantic mistake with Boom, they were willing to do feasibility study new supersonic engine without asking them to pay for all related expenses. If they had done so, they would have never had any kind of engine proposal at all. What RR did wrong is giving any ounce of credibility to these photoshop peddlers.
