Are you watching Fox News in Pakistan? This guy was just on the Huckabee Show.

While I consider rap to have the maturity of children's rhymes and something left over in the vat of the music industry, it doesn't matter what kind of music flight attendants mimic on these LCCs. I don't want to be forced to hear it or be a part of it.

I had my one stupid experience on LCC, AirTran. Stupid male flight attendant was constantly on the intercom telling stupid jokes. When we were on the ground waiting for the gate to open, he told a joke in very bad taste and all of us booed him.

WOW!!
Not all rap is bad, just some puerile aspects of the industry (gangsta rap as it used to be known) spoil it for the ones who are good at their craft.

It's good to hear people around the world can watch Fox News. It a fair and balanced alternative to the Talaban supporting propaganda shown on CNN.

Fox News Channel does not provide any reliable information. Its method of seamlessly combining commentary and news reports has transformed its style of TV news into nonsensical jabberwocky. Television news, in general, should not be trusted. The corporate owners, General Electric, Viacom, Disney and News Corp., all have agendas through which their news organizations are bound. Yet, Fox News Channel exceeds all expectations in the realm of news distortion and corporate control. The Fox News Channel style of exploiting political pundits as commentators, anchors and reporters presents an agenda -- not reality.

The Fox News Channel is not a trustworthy, balanced, reliable or objective network -- watch it for a laugh -- then turn off your TV.

I was on a flight with that FA going down to TPA, no big deal, kind of annoying. Some people laughed some clapped but most looked like WTF?

Prestwick, this is from Fazeman's rap sheet. I'm sure you know about these two guys.

1919 Non-Stop Water Hop

Great Britain, it's fitten
They always up for competition
John Alcock, Arthur Whitten
Fanatic to first the North Atlantic

Their Vimy, it lumbers
Across the hills it thunders
From Newfoundland past Iceland
They can't see a damn thing it's icing

Star shots, no way
Dead reckon on the menu today
Exhaust pipe, it broke
Flames playin' music on da wing dope

Their minds are clouded
In a sea of fog they shouted
Landfall, it's Ireland
Pass the sandwich, I'm starvin'

They circle, they land
The Vimy took a nose dip, not planned
They stand, crowds applaud
Knighthood's in the clause

Dope!!!!
Cool, really cool. There are some really good rap bands out there. I think Gil Scott Heron pioneered rap in the early 1970's.
What is a crime is that the statue of the two pioneers now resides outside the visitors centre but i feel it needs to be where all the passengers can see it. It is a crime for BAA to have moved it infront of a faceless glass and metal building. I hope Adrian with me here. It would be like moving the statue of Queen Charlotte at CLT to the little aviation museum, and then hiding it away, there seems to be little time for history at UK airports anymore............

I'm currently reading "The Water Jump" - The Story of Transatlantic Flight by David Beaty (1976). The statue has been moved a few times since it was erected at Heathrow in 1954. The picture in the book shows it below the control tower. Is that control tower building in the picture the current visitor center?

There is something that is not generally known and which the British never mention. Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown of the Royal Flying Corps came from an old-established American family and was born an American citizen in Glasgow, July 23, 1886. Brown's father brought his family to Glasgow when he was investigating a site for a Westinghouse factory.

No Faze, the current location is on the old "Northside" area, not far at all from Graham Bridges excellent diorama site (see the model airports forum). Not far at all. The visitor centre is not terribly well used and I just think it is a crying shame that the BAA do not have this outside the renovated Terminal 3 facade, at least where millions of people can see it. This location in your photo is in the Central Area, just near to the control tower at rear. Hopefully when Heathrow East is completed, the statue can have a fitting home. Either that or in the centre of T5.

After finding the visitor centre on Google Earth and reading up on what the centre has to offer, I've come to the conclusion that the centre and statue are ideally located for the public. The centre is located away from the hustle and bustle of the airport and that makes it ideal for visitors to relax and enjoy what the centre has to offer. The statue is front and center so folks can actually read about these two pioneers instead of passing it in vehicles as per the picture I posted, not knowing who they were and what they accomplished. Excellent job BAA.
