I will be off to Dubai in a few ours for business/pleasure combo. I hope the weather is better than here, its getting too hot.
I will be staying in “The Address” hotel, The one located in Dubai mall. It’s my first time in that hotel and I hope its good.
“JetBlue 171, contact departure,” the unidentified child told one flight.
“Over to departure, JetBlue 171, awesome job,” a pilot said in response. Then a man’s voice is heard: “That’s what you get, guys, when the kids are out of school.”
If i was flying an aircraft coming in or out of JFK and a child’s voice came over from the control tower, i think i would be a little worried.
An air traffic controller at New York’s JFK airport has been suspended from work after allowing a child to direct flights in and out of one the world’s busiest airports. The incident took place on February 17 and an investigation has been opened. The child is also recorded saying “Adios, Amigo” to a Mexican pilot leaving the airport.
Accidents can happen with traffic in the air by different planes, maintenance problems, weather etc…. and now children taking over air traffic control….
Our friends over at the GulfRun blog have just posted a new video.
It took sometime but the video is finally put together, we had a little preview for our GulfRun Drivers and we liked the feed back. In January of 2010 over 50 Drivers took their machines to the limit at Bahrain International Circuit. Drag Race, Drifting, Inner Circuit, Autocross, and GP Circuit with amazing mix of machines from the compact car to the super car. The machines were exciting but the skills of the drivers was even more impressive, year on year this just keeps getting better.
The end has finally dawned, and GulfRun 5 at the Bahrain International Circuit was over. I think everyone who participated or went to the event enjoyed it, as there was all out safe action and surprises down the way. Last night was the closing ceremony in Lenotre, and GulfRun with their sponsors, handed out the timings of all the drivers and events and their awards.

Yesterday was the third and final day of the GulfRun. The whole day was drag racing only. The disappointing thing is that not all the cars participated in the event, but it was still a lot of un. Took some cool pictures.
All good things must come to an end. Thank you GulfRun you were wonderful.
Today was a really good day, the weather was a bit hot but very pleasant in the shade. All drivers participated in the full track, and also we saw some compete in the drifting competition that somehow transformed into a doughnut competition.
I also got to jump in a BMW M5 (above) and a Caterham (below) and be driven around the track.
Tomorrow, Day 3:
The drag race and the conclusion of the GulfRun 5 event. Practice should start by 9:30AM and then the elimination rounds. Should be fun.
will upload some videos shortly.
Thanks to both AAA Jr. and T.Pain for the rides.
Today was the first day in the Gulf Run 5 event, there was a very good turn up. we saw a lot of people that we knew there. we also saw a lot of bloggers.
We saw a lot of beautiful and exotic cars there as expected.
This was just the first day, and I took almost 400+ pictures, will filter and upload them when I get back.
Tomorrow: Day 2
All cars will have a go at the full track tomorrow. We might also see some drag racing too.

As you would expect from a modern mega yacht, in addition to the two large tenders, the Dubai also holds a wide variety of water sports equipment and toys, including a small submarine. In fact, the mega yacht Dubai has so many water toys, there are two rooms on the boat just for stowage, like giant toyboxes! But wait, there’s more! The yacht also has a squash room, spa, and is fitted out with the obligatory mega yacht helicopter pad.
This project was taken over by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid from the Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei in 2001. But Chelsea owner and oil magnate Roman Abramovich’s new mega yacht Eclipse, should be commissioned in 2010 at 533 feet, making it the biggest of them all.
