plane spotting in DFW

Went to see Justin off for Boston the other day, I was thinking of going to Grapeville Mall for a while, but then I got lost.... and accidently found the observation deck for DFW. Might as well sit and watch for a bit.

Accident of Delta flight 191 crashed just short of the runway during August, 2,1985. Due to microburst. 

 

Here's what happened .....

Delta 191 crash  

Aviation regulation is written with blood, meaning every law or regulation is added because someone crashed or died. Sometimes you have only 1 chance, so pilots, be smart, everyone is counting on you to make the right decision. 

gusting 40miles !

few days ago, a friend from Boston came to visit and stayed for the weekend. we went to play some golf one day and the wind was gusting 40 miles!!! 

tree fell beside us, we were less than 1 meter away from the tree..

dead either from the tree or the jumping...

鬼天氣 II

又來！明明昨天還好好的70度左右！今天一起床就開始冷...下午就開始給我下起雪來＠＠ 還下不停喔！ 超大的... Dallas...mid-March....SNOW ?? what's going on here ??
PS: this is 121...

 

天氣真奇怪＠＠

天氣有夠奇怪，今天要去學校考試，看到外面暗暗的下著雨整個蹺課的癮又上來了…呵呵
不過我當然不會啦！用拖的都要把自己拖去考試。

開車開到一半，咦！前面怎麼那麼亮？？哇勒！還大太陽！幾乎沒有雲層，真奇怪，好像Dallas被UFO蓋住一樣....怪天氣...

Eclipes Project part II

Thunder storm came this morning, I thought it was gonna rain all day, but I was wrong, it became very pleasant with a slight breeze. perfect day to wash and wax the car !
so, the car is hand-washed, hand-dried, hand-waxed, hand-vaccumed, and it turned out really great, looks like NEW and it smells good  !! I think next step is to put a for sale sign on the window and post on craigslist...oh no..wait, need to fix that starter and find out what's causing the engine to die...anyway, right now it looks cool !

Eclipes Project part 1

First step, make sure the car is drivable.. that's what I thought, the battery is dead ! alright, i can always jump start it, it worked at first, and I let it run for about 20min before I shut it down and try to start it by itself...oops...I think the battery is REALLY dead, it can no longer store battery..hum....ok, change it at WalMart will take care of that... the battery is $75 ! a lot more than what I expected, I thought it's gonna be somewhere around $30... and the guy told me that I should get my starter checked out... yeah...even with a new battery, the starter sounded weak... I should get that checked out..   and finally, the car wash! haha...the guy at the car wash place saw me and told me it was too low to go into the car wash..haha.. okie, i'll just have to do it myslef, it's not like I've never done it before, so I went back home and get ready for a hand wash, ok...the hose is stuck....jeez !
i should be able to wash the car with some other hose, i'll get that tomorrow. and a self-service interior clean up.

我要見機長！！！

這次搭乘華航從台灣到LAX，一上飛機皆看了一下這趟陪我們一起飛的空姐，確定了素質符合我的標準後就倒頭大睡。突然，隔我兩個位子有個退役軍人，他好像一上飛機就要求這要求那的，他開始對機組人員大吼 "ㄟ！該給我的要給我阿！"，當然，全世界都不知道指的是什麼，座艙長在一旁安慰他 "您需要什麼？" ，"拖鞋阿！ 耳塞阿！眼罩阿！不要我們作經濟倉就把我們當平民窟看待麻！！" 我和我旁邊的美國人都從睡夢中被吵醒，想說有場好戲可以看了，終於有傳說中的機上醉漢了！座艙長急忙跑去準備他應得的東西，有個空姐推了車經過，"ㄟ！去報告一下叫你們機長下來我叫見他！" 小姐當然不理會，"現在可能沒辦法耶！" 小姐笑著回答，"有什麼事嗎？"，
"我對你們那個座艙長很不滿意！我要見機長！" 醉漢說，那個小姐回他"可是機長在開飛機ㄝ"
。座艙長回來，手上提了他應得的東西，外加兩跟牙刷，眼看他還是一副要爆發的樣子，座艙長急忙轉移話題跟他聊天，才知道他是軍人退伍，好像對於太早退而沒吃到終身奉在忿忿不平，聊了很久，我跟美國人也看了很久，他才安靜下來，本想說他會起身打人或是直接去機長是敲門之類的勒，沒想到他竟這樣就被安撫下來，果然是個菜鳥醉漢。這樣也好，我跟美國人也繼續睡我們的覺...不過位子真的有夠小的，吃飯手都不太能動，好難過..還一直想放屁...
到了LA後想說安檢應該會比較嚴格吧！我把兩件大行李都提出來，正在研究要往哪去轉機跟寄行李時，有個黑人看了一下我的行李就說 " 給我就好了"，他就把我一件行李帶走往旁邊一放...就沒在理過我了，我想應該沒問題吧！跑去AA的櫃台晃了一下，還有一件大行李要寄，在走廊晃時，又一個黑人看到我就問我需要啥，我就說我要找AA寄行李，他看了一下我行李上的標籤後就說"給我就好了"，他就把行李拉走...當時我幾乎已經確定我會掉行李了...上飛機後我剛好坐在放行李的上方，等到準備起飛了，門都關好了，才看見遠方一台小車往我們駛過來，後面載的就是我的第二件行李，那個黑人專程幫我把行李送過來，根本差點就沒上到@@...上了飛機往德州飛，三個位子只有我一個人坐，空間很大，聽到廣播說點心要付錢後我就開始裝睡，沒想到真ㄉ睡著了，睜開眼太陽已經快下山了，應該快到了吧！

準備去美國！

這是今年2010年的第一篇文章，所以就順便說說我對自己今年ㄉ期許吧!!
當然，重點還是放在飛行及能盡早回國找工作，再來...就是今年希望能把那本買了一陣子的初級日文書看完...看來不好好學學日文不行。Resolution 不能設定太高，這樣會一下就放棄，所以今年，就這樣吧！！
其他的目前來說都不重要。

這篇不是旅遊篇，因為我這趟去美國不是去玩的。
再過幾天就要去美國學飛行了，真是緊張..
怎麼會那麼緊張呢? 不知道...開始有壓力了，這應該對我來說是好事吧.
這次去美國前，就已經花了好多錢，簽證、TSA、ASFP、學校接洽、機票...加一加已經可以買一台很好得電腦了.呵 學飛行真是在燒錢阿...
最近看來景氣會越來越好，這樣對我在那邊學習也是有幫助的吧！本來還在擔心航空業景氣何時會回來..提心吊膽的學飛行恐怕只會遲緩學習進度而已。

看來可以開始設立一個飛行專用分類夾了，一直想要弄一個，哈哈
紀錄我在那邊飛行的點點滴滴，畢竟這一趟很難得，好好編專區紀錄它也是應該滴。
