  Jennifer Aniston

  Although she says her fear of flying has improved over time, a traumatic experience left Jennifer afraid of taking to the skies for years. Speaking to China Daily recently, she said: "I had one really bad flight where we were caught in an electrical storm. We shouldn't have been in the air... What scares me is taking off, because I don't understand how the plane gets up there. I've heard all about the aerodynamics, the speed, the engine. Of course, when your number's up, it's up. Maybe I'm just a control freak..."

HOW NIGERIA CAN DOUBLE HER GDP

Dear Readers, can you imagine waking up this morning and credited to your account is $86,400 USD. However you only have 24 hours to spend it. 

Just like the biblical manna from heaven, this blessing works by the same principle. By the time you go back to bed, 12 mid night, whatever money you have not spent would be wiped out off your account. By 6 am the next morning you will be credited with another $86,400 USD and at 12 midnight your account will again be emptied.

 What is a critical skills work visa?

As one might guess from its name, this work visa focuses on what is deemed to be a critical skill in South Africa. A critical skill, for the purpose of immigration, can be defined as a skill that is not easily sourced from local South African labour, in other words skills that South Africa needs to attract from the international work force.

Being Married to a Pilot – Luck or Suck?

Checkout what this lady said about been married to a pilot. funny thou...... what do you think?

When it comes up that I’m married to a pilot, I usually get told how lucky I am and how they’d love to be in my shoes. I usually just smile and nod, but I know all they see is the flying standby for free. Truth is, just like everyone else’s life, it really can suck.

Pilots brawl in cockpit

Two Air India pilots have been grounded by the airline after getting into an apparent physical altercation in the cockpit.
The Times of India, which first reported the story on Sunday's incident, quoted an unnamed source saying:

Fully Restored WWII Fighter Plane Up for Auction

A British warplane that was shot down in 1940 during World War II and was later meticulously restored to flying condition is slated to hit the auction block this summer.

FAA warns Boeing 787 bug could shut off aircraft power

Washington (AFP) - In a new problem for the Boeing 787, the US aviation regulator has ordered repairs to correct a software bug that could cause the aircraft to suddenly lose all power.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a directive dated Friday warning that after a 787's generators have run continuously for 284 days, they could abruptly shut down, leading to a loss of aircraft control.

Airbus marks 10-year anniversary of A380, world's largest civil aircraft

When the world’s largest passenger airliner took to the skies 10 years ago Monday, the double-decker jet was hailed as the next generation in air travel.

The specs of the Airbus A380 were -- and remain -- impressive in scope: a maximum seating capacity of 853; two passenger decks equal to three single tennis courts; and a take-off thrust equal to the horsepower of 2,500 family cars.

A 17-Year-Old Trapped But Alive on Everest

Seventeen-year-old climbing wunderkind Matt Moniz of Boulder, Colo. is one of the 150 people stuck along on Mount Everest — without his parents. He is one of the lucky ones. He is still alive. 

Moniz and his team — including experienced climbers Willie Benegas and Jim Walkley — were at Everest Base Camp (or “EBC,” as the climbing community calls it) on Saturday when an avalanche swept through the community of climbers and killed at least 17, or, by some accounts, more than 30. The rush of snow and ice injured dozens more. Even climbers who had climbed above EBC to Camps 1 and 2 were affected; the Khumbu Icefall (the route between EBC and higher points on Everest) was rendered impassable and irreparable. Trapped, those at the higher camps have been waiting for helicopter rescue.

What Happens If You Go Into Labor On A Plane?

If you go into labor on a plane, flight attendants can actually do very little to help you. (Photo: Mliu92/Flickr)

days ago a woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl during a transatlantic flight from Jordan to New York’s JFK.

According to news reports, a nurse and a doctor aboard the plane helped deliver the baby mid-flight, and mother and daughter were handed over to medical staff on the ground upon landing and taken to a nearby hospital.

In-flight labor is actually more common than you would think.

In December a Southwest flight from San Francisco to Phoenix was diverted to LAX after a passenger went into labor midflight. And again the baby was born onboard the plane.

Man Sues Southwest $49,000 for Being Hit By Overhead Baggage

Upon landing, airline flight attendants always warn passengers to open overhead bins with caution as carry-on luggage may have shifted during the flight. But what about before take-off?

10 of the world's cheapest countries to go on holiday

1. Cambodia

With beds for £1 and lip-smacking food for less than that, Cambodia is so cheap you often feel guilty for paying so little. Where once travellers justifably feared to tread, Cambodia is now very much on the SE Asian itinerary for many a school leaver. Perhaps the country's biggest draw is Angkor Wat, one of the world's most amazing historical sites. Spiritual, sublime and yours for £3 a day…or less!

2. Vietnam

Unspoilt and undeveloped, despite its rise in popularity in the last few years, Vietnam is still super cheap, as well as being a beautiful country (although 'beautiful' might be stretching the description of thrillingly hectic capital Hanoi). You can easily get by on £5 a day, which includes a guest house, local food, transport and a bit of drinking. Just imagine the lifestyle you could have if you stretched to £10!

What do you know of Seaplanes?

• 
  

My dreams to continually enlighten the public about Aviation and Tourism, and how this can enhance Tourism and more employment in Africa.

So talking on Sea plane and all you need to know:

Seaplanes are suitable for geographies with large water bodies, so as to provide last mile connectivity by Air to destinations. These are some Tips to know about seaplanes:

•   Seaplanes are amphibians fixed wing Aircraft's of relatively smaller capacity.

•   They are best suited for topographies having calm water bodies like lakes, backwaters, reservoirs etc.

Why cheaper jet fuel won't mean lower airfares anytime soon

First of all you must note that airlines aren't in business to fly people around the countryside; they're in business to make money for their owners and investors. Their business model - the way they choose to make money - is to provide an aerial transportation service. Like any for-profit business they will charge as much as people are able and willing to pay. Every corporation does the same thing within the framework of their particular business model.
