Amy Johnson was one of the first women pilots back in the 1930s, and she rose to fame while setting many flying records. One of her many accomplishments included qualifying to be a British-trained woman ground engineer, and she succeeded becoming the first and only women G.E. in the world at that time. Early in 1930, Johnson wanted to fly solo from Croydon, London to Darwin, Australia and beat Bert Hinkler’s record of 16 days. She completed the flight and became the first women to fly alone to Australia, but her efforts to beat Hinkler’s record failed because it took her 19 days to travel the 11,000 miles. In 1931 and 1932, Johnson set a record for flying from England and Japan with Jack Humphreys and flew from England to Capetown alone. In 1936 she flew solo from England to Capetown beating her own record she had set in 1932. Johnson and her husband, Jim Mollison, flew nonstop from South Wales to the United States in 1933, and they set another time record while flying from England to India. Johnson joined the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) during World War II in 1939 where she ferried aircraft from factory airstrips to RAF bases. On January 5th, 1941, during a routine ATA flight, Amy Johnson crashed and drowned into the Thames estuary. Her death was an unexpected tragedy, but Britain’s most famous woman pilot’s legacy is carried on through the Amy Johnson Memorial Trust Scholarship which is given out to help women pilots further their careers.

The main context  here are the people who work for delta, especially the pilots, flight crew, and flight dispatchers. They are the most important people and have interest in passengers because they want passengers to keep flying with delta. At the same time they have little power in changing the airline

The subjects in the situation are definitely people like businessman who fly all the time. People who are frequent flyers want the quickest and easiest route from point A to point B, and this social media post gives Delta the right to say they can do this. Vacationers are also subjects because they fly for their vacation and want a great airline.

The crowd would be people who do not fly because they have little interest in airlines and even less interest in who is the best airline. People who are scared to fly fall into this category to because they will not even pay attention to airline news.

Players are the higher-ups in the airport because they have the most power in changing the airline and a lot of interest in what others think of their airline. Delta being the best airline will bring paying customers, and that is important to the higher-ups.

One of the best moments of my life was in 2012 when Super Bowl XLVI (46) came to my hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana. The main reason it was so awesome is because my family’s favorite team, the New York Giants had made it to the big game. My dad is originally from New Jersey and grew up a Giants fan and is still a die-hard fan today; he still has season tickets and goes to about 4 Giant home games a year while living in Indianapolis.

Me and my dad spent most of the week leading up to the Super Bowl in downtown Indianapolis because they had a bunch of tents, booths, and a lot more there. The biggest attraction was the Super Bowl Experience, and there was a ton of football minigames and uniforms and helmets from all 32 NFL teams.

February 5^th, 2012, the day of Super Bowl XLVI, will always be one of my favorite experiences. The day started with my family getting downtown around nine o’clock in the morning, even though the game did not start until six in the evening. Me and my family tailgated for hours and I remember it being a lot of fun because we threw the football around, played cornhole, and my dad was grilling food constantly. Finally, the time came to go into one of the best stadiums in sports, Lucas Oil Stadium, but of course I’m biased because the stadium is in my hometown. The walk to the stadium was incredible because I could not believe I was going to watch my team play for a championship in my city with my dad, mom, and sister. I won’t bore you with details of the game, even though it was a great game. I was not a fan of the halftime show because it was Madonna, and at 13 years young I was not a big Madonna fan.

When Tom Brady’s last hail mary attempt fell incomplete and the Giants players rushed onto the field, my family and I went nuts. At the time my dad worked for Reebok, they had the NFL in 2012, and he got early access to the Giants Super Bowl Championship shirt. He had been wearing it under his sweatshirt all day and proceeded to show off the shirt when the Giants won. That image of my dad in that shirt will forever be etched into my memory forever.

Lucas Oil Stadium will always have a place in my heart because I have seen my high school win a state championship, Ohio State win multiple Big Ten titles, my NFL team win a championship there, and my high school’s prom.

On January 24^th, a solo student pilot crashed about 90 seconds after taking off at Buttonville Municipal Airport in Toronto, Canada. The aircraft, a Bellanca 8KCAB Decathlon, was destroyed and the pilot died in the accident. When the pilot made the “Mayday” call, he stated that the engine was running roughly. Just before the crash, the propeller was rotating at 2,700 rpm and the engine was running at 65% power. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigated the incident and their accident report stated that there were light winds, good visibility, and few clouds, and the aircraft had just completed an annual inspection. The pilot’s logbook was looked over, and it was discovered that he disregarded safety multiple times. First, most of his flight hours had been unsupervised or without an actual flight instructor. Second, investigators learned that the pilot had carried passengers illegally on multiple occasions. The rest of the article talks about how this accident could have been prevented if the pilot received consistent training and focusing on preflight actions because witnesses saw him banking the aircraft hard to the right something you never want to do with a failing engine.

As soon as I read this article, I instantly thought of preflighting the aircraft. The pilot was known for ignoring safety rules, so it only makes sense that he rushed through the preflight planning just to get up in the air as soon as possible. At the end of the day the accident could have been avoided with better communication. Flight instructors who taught the student and signed his solo endorsement should have enforced how important preflighting an aircraft is. The student could have never learned how to safely land an aircraft in distress either because most of his flights he was by himself unsupervised or carrying passengers. If the pilot knew how to do a successful emergency landing instead of turning the yoke aggressively, he could still be alive today. Communication would have saved this student pilot’s life.
