What I heard today about flying

Getting on an airplane…
Is the safest way to fly
Wow, I had never thought about it like that, lol. I know that is not what the person meant to say, but, it is a provocative thought just the same.

Christie Brinkley sets cops on ex-husband over kids safety fears


American fashion model Christie Brinkley reportedly called New York police after she learnt about her husband Peter Cook''s plan to alter their travel arrangements, and transport their two kids in a single-engine airplane. She had slammed Cook in a statement issued by her legal team last week over his decision to go public about their marriage split in a recent U.S. TV special. With a view to keeping their children-daughter, Sailor, 10, and son, Jack, 13-from viewing it, the two came to a


Iraq soldier pleads: Let my dog go home


From Sunday’s Minneapolis-St. Paul Star-Tribune: Army Sgt. Gwen Beberg isn’t having an easy year in Iraq. When the Spring Lake Park native bonded with an abandoned puppy found whimpering in a burning trash heap in Baghdad, she wanted to make sure the black-and-white mutt named Ratchet made it home with her. On Oct. 1, Beberg placed 6-month-old Ratchet on an Army convoy to the Baghdad airport, where he was to be flown to her parents’ home in Minnesota by a rescue group called Operation Baghdad


Report from Iran


Gaining a dress-size in Tehran & other stories… There’s something about airports that have their own mystique. You kind of get caught up in a whirl of unreality like you’re in a parallel universe — where nobody sleeps and you all live on airplane food instead of the real thing. “How much does a bottle of Chanel # 5 cost?” I asked the lady in a duty-free shop at the Frankfurt airport. “$90.” Nope, I’ll wait until after the dollar deflates. But dollars are actually getting a good exchange rat

Air Traffic Worldwide movie

Ironic


"[Thick as a Brick] was a spoof to the albums of Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer much like what the movie Airplane had been to Airport." - Ian Anderson. And saying Jethro Tull were po-faced suggests you don't really know their stuff. There's lots of puns and wordplay and ribaldry in their lyrics, and live, Anderson has a wonderful dry wit. I last saw them about five years ago, and they actually did some of Thick as a Brick for the first time in a long time, and which they prefaced with an a

Traveling to New York City For Cheap


Last week I took a weeklong trip to one of the most expensive cities in the world - New York City. Can you believe that I only spent $300 for the whole thing? Here's how I did it. 1. Bought my ticket with frequent flyer miles. Not frequent flyer miles that I accured slowly and painfully over several years through multiple flights, mind you, but frequent flyer miles that I earned instantly and painlessly through a combination of two credit cards: the Delta SkyMiles card, which had a signup bonu


Guest Post by Cody McFayden, author of THE DARKER SIDE


The Darker Side A lie, a long-ago affair, a dark desire- everyone has secrets they take to the grave.  No one knew that better than FBI Special Agent Smoky Barrett.  But what secret was a very private young woman keeping that led her to her very public murder?  And what kind of killer was so driven and so brazenly daring that he’d take her life on a commercial airliner thirty thousand feed in middair, a killer so accomplished that he’d leave only a small souvenir behind? These are the questions

Quotes From Around Yon Blogosphere


The protestations from on high are that, underneath the disaster, the fundamentals are still strong, that we'll work through this because we're Americans. "Fellow citizens," Bush fumfered Friday, "we can solve this crisis—and we will." Unfortunately, his reassurances seem about as calming as the scene from Airplane in which the flight attendant urges everyone to remain calm while all hell breaks loose. We have no Churchills today, and our financial leaders all seem to have fled to a bunker. On C
