Ships had these fitted in Tudor times, they were called gimbals then and were used to keep the compass steady in the swell.

Same level of facilities as when I was in school in UK. Just a shallow sandpit to land in, none of the 2 metre thick sponge beds you see today.

192 metres equals 629 feet 11 1/16 inches NOT 400.
121.92 metres equals 400 feet! No wonder Texans think everything is bigger there.

Like the respect from Schiphol with their salute.

Have flown MD11 many times to Vancouver, love the larger, lower windows so you can see out better.

Have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENe89j89tBA showing first flight of A380 into San Fran. with Lufthansa - Captains comment to passengers about the salute was that today is the day they wash the aircraft!! :D :D

Remember seeing it at the time. It was only possible for this 'new' jump to be used because of the introduction of thick foam-filled mats. These didn't exist much before this particular Olympics.

Fly over Colorado and you will see that this is exactly how the farmers sow their crops as well. Circle of crop in field and corners left unused. Huge waste of space.

+3 28. Paul2765 commented 8 years ago on video Baby's First Taste of Bacon

#8 Sorry, you're wrong. Bacon is pork that has been cured using either a brine solution (wet cured)or has been 'dry cured' by rubbing regularly with rock salt(and sometimes other substances such as molasses). Pork loin is un-cured pig meat and should never be confused with bacon.

I've wondered for decades why manufacturers don't polarise windscreens and headlight beams at 45 degrees to vertical. Driver would have clear main-beam light but oncoming traffic wouldn't be dazzled because of their polarised windscreen??
