Trivia Question: name a rock song based on an IATA airport identifier.

@TomMcW YYZ by Rush

@Shalvenay You nailed it!

@Shalvenay Probably the only rock song based on IATA. Maybe the only one based on Morse code. And possibly the only one with a triangle solo!

It would have a totally different feel if they'd used the ICAO id :)

tiny rant, first off thanks for voting looks ok, now to whoever downvoted and flagged, explain yourself please. despite being a small answer it is one of my best actually. the burden of proving something exists lies with the asker, so the question technically can't be answered, but here I went the extra mile, showing a new FAA regulation, and showing that the IIIc in itself may soon be gone as a definition...

two elements that are relevant and informative IMO

@ymb1 I'm with you on this one

hey there @kevin

@ymb1 upvoted that for ya

hey there @shalvenay

how're things going?

good. anyone heard of the a380 engine failure? sounds like a repeat of Qantas 32

@kevin it's...interesting. different model engine, different failure mode, the works. first time I've heard of a fan disk detaching as a unit

@Shalvenay didn't we find plenty of those for the Trent 700 on the A330? :D

@Shalvenay @kevin thanks

@ymb1 fan disk detachments?

@Shalvenay ah sorry no, the fan case it was

@ymb1 ah, yeah, that sounds more like it

@shalvenay still, pretty unusual failure, especially on the low time engine

maybe it was another astro-goose

@kevin yeah, 3500-odd cycles is not that many for an engine

and the evidence may now be gone

too early to tell

some of the engines on WN's fleet probably get a good 3000 cycles a year

it's really lucky that nothing hits the fuselage. could be deadly if it did.

@kevin twice now the A380 proven itself to be a well designed and built giant

@kevin the other day the Kevin that commented on your comment I think, I was like why is kevin replying to himself?!

definitely agree on the "giant" part - I mean you have to see it in person to believe it. First time I saw a A380 took off it was amazing

good thing our names are case sensitive (-;

@kevin one can easily pull off some pranks on SE by impersonating someone else :'D

yea let's plan this on the next April Fool's Day... (evil smile)

:D

can't flag for more than one reason, should have flagged for mod attention instead, so kindly any mod convert to comment: aviation.stackexchange.com/a/44690/14897

@Farhan @Federico

was still following the old system of do-it-yourself, but now we have active mods ;)

@Federico scratch that, why not merge both accounts? something to try ;)

just don't break anything

I don't want to see myself becoming @kevin :D we are keeping that to april's fool

@ymb1 that's not within the mod-powers

only admins can merge accounts

@Federico admin as in CM?

I'm starting to suspect a certain airline have all their training material for pilots, engineers, etc., not password protected intentionally, was easy to google to answer this aviation.stackexchange.com/a/44697/14897 but I don't think I should link the PDF

by now they should have seen a spike of traffic on their media/files/... servers

as in the files been up for years

just for fun, how to track this badge aviation.stackexchange.com/help/badges/15/generalist ? I'm thinking it's been retired?

I'm almost there data.stackexchange.com/aviation/query/35591/…

on second thought, it says 20 of top 40 tags, I have 38 of top 40 tags +15 score hmm

it's fun talking to myself, you too!

hehe jk

okay so I'm rep capped for the day, here's an answer I'm proud of aviation.stackexchange.com/a/42903/14897 it was two years late :)
