    Flight level Zero. That's why altimeters are adjustable.

    Thanks for the correction. I misspoke - radial engines. There are some vintage planes that fly around GTU regularly.

    We have a couple of vintage planes that fly around here. I love hearing those rotary engines!

    Still several crashes blamed on icing since then. Don't know if the accident planes got the mods. But still a very solid plane. Can't beat P&W turboprops.

    13 fatal accidents, killing some 500+ persons. Many of those accidents were obvious pilot error and/or were in Nepal or other third-world countries. Just spit balling here, but those planes have likely done 10,000,000 cycles by now. Pretty good record, I'd say.

    Similar ATR 72 crash in Nepal last year due to improperly feathered engines, but they lost control at a much lower altitude. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeti_Airlines_Flight_691

    The ATRs have a pretty good safety record, except for when they get flown into ice.

    The flight data seems to indicate the stall/spin started at 15,000 feet. Also lots of variation in their flight speed prior to the bad ending. It will be fascinating to figure this one out.

    How can you not get the nose down and recover at that altitude? Feathered prop, loss of control surfaces, weight and balance issues? Horrible video of that plane going down.

    I grew up in Austin thinking that chopped beef sandwiches from The Pit were tits!

    My bet is 50.

    IDK the tech side of chips, but I've always understood them to be something other than a low-cost provider. Tough to compete with the foundries in Asia.

    I lurk regularly, but don't post on the thread much unless it is specifically related to something about Austin/Texas business or real estate development topics. Invariably any thoughts/comments about general business stuff (inflation, interest rates, deficit spending, unemployment, etc.) will fall into CR territory in the minds of some posters - with predictable results. I liked Imma's post about the Fed yesterday and was glad to see that it didn't devolve into a poop-slinging thread.

    I was not happy with gifts I sent from Southside from Elgin. Surprisingly, this place from Menard does some great stuff: https://www.brisket.net/default.aspx

    Nice buck. Looks young.

    Is she going through sorority rush? There are tons of quads within walking distance of campus that those girls occupy.

    Out of town or I'd bring another money bag. I liked how Sark mentioned Gunnar at the media event. Gunnar is a good man.

    Loco Moco is the answer.
