hahn:Working on it bro, getting the gears, cash&time are the major challenges. |
hahn:You are right bro, sitting in one's comfort zone, copying and pasting isn't exploring. Real exploring is when someone like me quit my job, acquire a DSLR camera, get a website, and start moving from one place to another to get informations and images. Sometimes streets, villages, tourist attractions, old structures, hidden places from one town, city state, to another and country to country. Its quite expensive, ive read profiles of successful adventurers, explorers, travel photographers. They spent thousands of dollars on transportation, accommodation, food and visas to their destinations before getting their goal. Most times you pay for capturing some images or getting informations. Most people willing to be explorers cant afford this. To avoid that, asuokaa made a suggestion that one can start small from local destinations or getting a job in an organization that can sponsor(BBC). |

At Phoenix Sky Harbor American Airlines regional jets sit on the tarmac as American Airlines says seven regional flights have been delayed and 43 have been canceled because of a heat wave as temperatures climb to near-record highs on Tuesday. HOW EXTREME TEMPERATURES AFFECT FLIGHTS Extreme heat creates changes in the air density that make it harder for airplanes to take off. Airlines respond by imposing weight restrictions, such as carrying less cargo and fuel. But planes will need more speed to take off and a longer runway length to do that in extreme heat situations if the aircraft type can fully operate when temperatures are past 120 degrees. American Airlines pilot Shane Coffey also said that the extreme heat causes some pilots to have to use more thrust. Air density on a 90-degree day in Denver at more than 5,000 feet elevation issimilar to a 120-degree day in Phoenix at 1,100 feet above sea level, he said. The maximum operating temperature for each aircraft type is based on manufacturer data: *.Airbus - 127 degrees *.Boeing - 126 degrees *.Bombardier CRJ regional aircraft - 118 degrees

The streets of Las Vegas and Phoenix have been reduced to ghost towns as temperatures hit 118F and climbing during a punishing heat wave that has grounded planes and left door handles so hot they can leave people with burns. Temperatures are predicted to reach 120F on the first day of summer in Phoenix, and the heat wave is threatening to bring the 'deadly' temperatures to several parts of Arizona, Nevada and California as well. Las Vegas is likely to hit 117F on Tuesday, as excessive heat warnings cover almost all of California. The National Weather Service has been forecasting Tuesday highs of 120F or above in Phoenix for the past several days, a number not seen in the desert city for more than 20 years. 'That's deadly heat no matter how you slice it,' weather service meteorologist Chris Breckenridge said. American Airlines canceled more than 43 flights on Tuesday in Phoenix operated by regional jets because of the heat. Officials say when the temperature soars, it's harder for airplanes to take off. Phoenix topped out at a record high of 119F on Tuesday, although some unofficial thermometers like this one hit 120. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4621634/First-day-summer-begins-heat-wave-Southwest-US.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44
