Amy Johnson

Became the first woman aviator to fly solo from England to Australia. She flew this 11,000 mile long trip in 19 days and ended up damaging her plane upon landing in Australia. After this Amy became obsessed with speed and wanted to be the fastest to get to new places. With Jack Humphrey as her co-pilot, they were the first to fly 1700 miles from Britain to Moscow in a day, it only took them 21 hours. They didn’t stop there though, they kept on going and ended up at Japan setting the record for fastest trip from Britain to Japan. She didn’t stop there, Amy took another solo flight from Britain to Cape town and actually broke her husbands speed record for that trip. After she did that, Amy and her husband, Jim Mollison, started to fly together as pilot and co-pilot. In their first flight together they tried to fly from Southern Wales to New York and ended up running out of gas and crash landing at Bridgeport Municipal Airport. Luckily, no one was hurt. This minor accident didn’t stop them either, while flying together they broke another speed record from Britain to India as a part of a speed race but ended up dropping out from it due to engine failure. During a flight from Blackpool to Oxford, Amy went through some very weather and wrecked her plane into the icy waters of Thames Estuary where she lost at sea.

Players: United Airlines. They are the ones who care the most because they are the ones who are effected the most. If United keeps giving first class seats away to other people, it will deter other passengers away and to other airlines.

Context Setters: The Gate Attendant cares what happened because they had to deal with the situation and were left to try and figure out a solution. They don’t however have the power to move both passengers around. Only simply to give an untaken seat to the victim.

Subjects: Jean-Marie Simon the passenger who had her seat taken. She has the most interest in all of this with that expensive first class seat originally supposed to be hers but is there without any power to do anything. She was forced to take an economy seat that was untaken.

Crowd: People who don’t use United as well as the other airlines. The people don’t have to worry about losing their seat because they trust that their airline wouldn’t do that to them. The other airlines have enough faith in their own systems not to book another passengers seat. If anything it probably makes people chose their airline over United.

One of my more memorable vacations was when I was able to go to Las Vegas for my brothers wedding. Now pretty much all my family is from Ohio or at least from this area of the United States. So going to visit family or going on vacations was typically spent on this half of America and never required us to go to far. My brother however, being in the military, was sent all over the place. He ended up meeting a girl on the other side of the US who had her family living over there. They ended up getting married and figured a go place to have the wedding was in Vegas. Being the brother of the groom, I was given the chance to go see Vegas and be apart of his wedding. I was around 14 years old so I wasn’t really old enough to do any of the normal Vegas activities but I still had fun exploring everything around there. My family and I spent the whole week before the wedding just site seeing and going to different places. I got to see the Strip during day and at night, I even saw the pawn shop from the famous pawn shop show. It was really cool to see this completely different life style over there compared to how everything is back here in Columbus. There were so many casinos and hotels that lit up the whole city, it almost seemed like an endless party. The wedding was also pretty cool. Although we were 2,000 miles away, my brother still wanted to bring a little bit of home with him so he convinced his wife to do Ohio State wedding colors. My favorite part were the scarlet and gray suits that we were given to wear. Although we couldn’t keep them, it was still really cool to wear. Being only 14 I couldn’t always hang out with my siblings when they went out and did stuff but I hope in a couple years I’ll be able to go back out to Vegas and have another chance to see everything and get the whole Vegas experience.

SpaceX just unveiled a new crew access arm that connects to their new spacecraft called the Dragon. The Dragon is a new ship and will be the first of it’s kind to make a manned trip to space to visit the ISS. This new ship is important in that it now contains life support, emergency launch abort and many other vital needed to support a crew. Obviously this is huge for America, SpaceX and what we’re studying in communication. Now if someone on the ISS contacts to us asking for supplies, help or really anything else that involves a human going to space, we will have a spacecraft capable of doing such a thing. Allowing for a much faster response time and a more efficient way of handling things, rather than just sending an unmanned ship up there and telling them over the radio what to do.

When I was younger and my friends asked what super power I would chose if I could only have one, my ideal super power would always be to fly. Now I know that humans flying on their own is impossible, so I did the next best thing and that was to become a pilot. The idea of being able to travel over everything else at a very high altitude and speed was always fascinating to me, therefore I decided to stick with it and go into aviation.

When I graduate I hope to have a job that I could at least live off of while still being able to fly. Whether it’s airlines or just flying around photographers, I just want to be able to say that I make a living off of flying a plane around.
