    Boeing 787-9 Twin Jet Dreamliner Hits Top Speed of 801 MPH

    zauber said: ↑ Sorry my statement actually combined the limits for Class A and Class E airspace, which is what I work at ZNY. There are radar approach controls below the entirety of the airspace I work, so I never deal with Class B, C, D, or G airspace.

    I tried to squeeze a couple of rounds of world of tanks in between a 5 mile run and a shower, some sweat dripped off my arm onto the mesh top of my desktop case ... it dripped onto the back of my video card which apparently fried something.
