flyboy0681 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 The obituaries that I've been reading say that Leonard Nimoy was a private pilot and aircraft owner. Does anybody know whether he kept it up over the years? Quote
Piloto Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 FAA records show PVT/IFR. Last medical in 1980 The only ship I knew he flew was NCC 1701. After 30 years I still watch the original series. Live Long and Prosper Spock 5 Quote
eman1200 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Posted February 27, 2015 .....Does anybody know whether he kept it up over the years? A highly illogical question. But I also don't know. 1 Quote
BKlott Posted February 28, 2015 Report Posted February 28, 2015 Had to stop and watch the DVD of my favorite Star Trek episode, Shore Leave. May we all live long and prosper! Brian Quote

aviatoreb Posted March 1, 2015 Report Posted March 1, 2015 I think I know what happened to Spock. He was on an away team to some planet, and he accidentally wore a red shirt. Remember friends: Never wear a red shirt if find yourself on a Star Trek away team!! Quote

Does anybody know whether he kept it up over the years? Kept a plane at VNY for a while. Just spoke to someone who used to see him there years ago...... Quote

aviatoreb Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 ImageUploadedByTapatalk1425260943.408611.jpg Love it! Its quite logical actually: I think he's doing a fuel computation - how much dilithium crystals will we need to carry at warp factor-7 across two parsecs, with 836 crewman on board, plus their luggage, can I do it within balance, and with IFR reserves since we will need to go through a Nebula clouds and shoot an approach to a Klingon planet to mins, on a DME arc. 1 Quote

Aha! That's a trick question. Assuming the dilithium crystals are properly cut and aligned, the question is how much anti-matter will be required? Oops. My geek is showing... Quote

Marauder Posted March 2, 2015 Report Posted March 2, 2015 And let's not forget to calculate in the variation caused by black holes along our trip. Quote
Piloto Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 And let's not forget to calculate in the variation caused by black holes along our trip. Trip to where? If you had a star ship where would you go?. The most likely life form to be encounter is plant life. The most will find is a planet full of giant roaches that eat flesh for desert. The realities of space exploration. José Quote

Assuming the dilithium crystals are properly cut and aligned, the question is how much anti-matter will be required? Oops. My geek is showing... After all the missions where the crystals were depleted I could never figure out why they never carried a spare set. Bad flight planning IMHO Rest in peace Spock Quote

Marauder Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 Spock is/was special. He will be missed. DF The big question is whether he is really dead... Don't forget, he came back once already! 1 Quote
aviatoreb Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 The big question is whether he is really dead... Don't forget, he came back once already! Good point! I bet the bearded-alternate-parallel-universe-less-logical Spock is kicking and breathing right now. Quote
Seth Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 I think I know what happened to Spock. He was on an away team to some planet, and he accidentally wore a red shirt. Remember friends: Never wear a red shirt if find yourself on a Star Trek away team!! Isn't that why the commanders/captains wore red shirts on The Next Generation? As a tribute to that? It has since reverted back. During the reboot, I laughed to myself when the away team had the guy in the red shirt - I thought "He's dead." I read his autobiographies. First I Am Not Spock, and then I Am Spock. He died of COPD related breathing issues 30 years after quitting smoking. In all seriousness. Live Long and Prosper Mr. Spock. -Seth Quote
