First, a Cessna pilot asked the air traffic controllers to check his ground speed. <b>‘Ninety knots,’</b> ATC replied. A twin Bonanza soon made the same request. <b>‘One-twenty on the ground,’</b> was the reply. To our surprise, a navy F-18 came over the radio with a ground speed check. I knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, he had a ground speed indicator in his cockpit, but he wanted to let all the bug-smashers in the valley know what real speed was <b>‘Dusty 52, we show you at 620 on the ground,’</b> ATC responded. The situation was too ripe. I heard the click of Walter’s mike button in the rear seat. In his most innocent voice, Walter startled the controller by asking for a ground speed check from 81,000 feet, clearly above controlled airspace. In a cool, professional voice, the controller replied, <b>’ Aspen 20, I show you at 1,982 knots on the ground.’</b> We did not hear another transmis sion on that frequency all the way to the coast.</blockquote>http://samuelspence.com/post/504067398http://samuelspence.com/post/504067398Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:57:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky5htgjcOk1qa0uujo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://ilovecharts.tumblr.com/post/401358623/via-aunihusted" class="tumblr_blog">ilovecharts</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>via <a href="http://aunihusted.tumblr.com/">aunihusted</a></p></blockquote>http://samuelspence.com/post/406477959http://samuelspence.com/post/406477959Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:52:45 -0500<p>update your bookmarks (all 5 of you): yesterday i changed my tumblr url to <a href="http://samwithans.tumblr.com"><a href="http://samwithans.tumblr.com">http://samwithans.tumblr.com</a></a> (from the venerable 5am5pence.tumblr.com). as always, you can always reach this page at <a href="http://samuelspence.com">samuelspence.com</a></p>http://samuelspence.com/post/394776915http://samuelspence.com/post/394776915Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:07:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxmtjpCTtH1qaho17o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://benlinusinhats.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">benlinusinhats</a>)</p>http://samuelspence.com/post/392328402http://samuelspence.com/post/392328402Tue, 16 Feb 2010 01:43:31 -0500<p>Followed a couple new Tumblogs today:</p> <p><a href="http://madmenfootnotes.com/">Mad Men Footnotes</a><br/> anyone who knows me, knows i (probably annoyingly) reference this show a lot.</p> <p><a href="http://moviesinframes.tumblr.com/">Movies in Frames</a><br/> movies captured in 4 frames. haven’t found a spoiler yet, but check it out.</p> <p><a href="http://moviescore.tumblr.com/">Movie Score(s) a Day</a><br/> not really “in” to movie scores, but there’s no reason not to learn more.</p> <p><a href="http://makingofmovies.tumblr.com/">Making of</a><br/> sorry, another film-related one.</p> <p><a href="http://fuckyeahcarriefisher.tumblr.com/">fuck yea carrie fisher</a><br/> another “fuck yea, x” tumblog.</p> <p><a href="http://whitehousephotostream.tumblr.com/">White House Photostream</a><br/> pete souza is the fly on the wall.</p>http://samuelspence.com/post/388026069http://samuelspence.com/post/388026069Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:43:00 -0500<object width="400" height="325"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6ssqro3u1lY&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6ssqro3u1lY&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="325" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>nothing fancy, just killin it. suck it, gaga.</p>http://samuelspence.com/post/371544092http://samuelspence.com/post/371544092Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:28:00 -0500<object width="400" height="253"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y1T9Gl56l8M&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y1T9Gl56l8M&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="253" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>CofC 82 -
