  Judging by his fingernails being so dirty, I’m guessing he’s a tradesperson. Tradespeople tend to damage/chip/break nails. As for the odd thumb position, I’m guessing he initially was holding it looking at the back, and turned his hand to show the front a bit for the photo, leading to the awkward thumb position.

  It says “nutrition”, but the quality of the photo makes the dot of the i’s blend to the body. But there are only three vertical lines (representing “iti”).

  The 737 won’t fly an RA on autopilot. We have to disconnect the autopilot and auto throttle and hand fly it. There’ll be a red box on the PFD that we just keep the pitch outside of, and we’ll be fine.

  TCAS warnings initially come up about 90 seconds before a potential collision, and a resolution advisory comes up about 60 seconds before a collision. A resolution advisory is obviously a serious situation, but it’s early enough that the climb or descent commands are really not anything crazy, not anything outside a normal climb or descent. No one should be hitting the ceiling if a tcas resolution is flown properly.

  The idea was to build giant floating barges in the mid North Atlantic for sub hunting escort aircraft to refuel halfway across. The escort aircraft at the time couldn’t stay with the convoys the whole way, leaving a stretch in the mid Atlantic where they were vulnerable. An ice runway would allow aircraft to cover the convoy for the entire passage, and in the North Atlantic would last months (if not longer) before melting.

  It’s a Gilson pipette though. That’s the Rolls Royce of pipettes!

  Ya. You see it a lot at maintenance bases for larger aircraft. A hangar large enough for the tail is often not feasible or practical, so they have a perfect tail shaped hole in the doors. You’ll see it a lot for 747/A380/C5 maintenance hangars.
