• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Hulu just posted "No Highway In The Sky" with Jimmy Stewart ... (Sorry cheezy)

"An aeronautical engineer predicts that a new type of airplane will fail after a certain amount of time in the air, and then he finds himself onboard one of the doomed planes while headed to a crash site." Great cast from both sides of "the pond".

Released 3 years prior to the de Havilland Comet crashes. :kilroy:

Right now, 'free movie' is better for me. :icon_lol: (Okay you have to sit through the occasional 30 second commercial)
 
Another great novel from Neville Shute (Norway)
--who was an aeronautical engineer-- Shute worked as Chief Calculator (stress engineer) on the R100 Airship project for the subsidiary Airship Guarantee Company. In 1929, he was promoted to Deputy Chief Engineer of the R100 project under Sir Barnes Wallis.
