Hey class,

Inspirational Aviators like Charles Lindbergh hold a famous connection to the Aviation world, along with a solid foundation of the innerworkings of the developing nations during the 1920s.

He began piloting as a young Barnstormer and eventually enlisted in the Army where he trained as a reserve pilot. In 1927, eager to win a prize of over $10,000, He became famous for completing the nations first Transatlantic solo flight in around 33.5hours.

But what seperates Lindbergh from the rest of his fellow flyers, is that he did much more than just fly planes and set records. He is also famous as a writer, poet and inventor. His stance against the government and the monetary system during the Great Depression stand testament to his contributions not only a pilot, but also as a concerned citizen of the developing United States. Despite any personal controversies, Lindbergh is credited with helping usher in the age of commercial aviation. His innovative and heroic acts continue to inspire others all over the world.

The image I’d like to examine is one of an American Airlines passenger who’s bag was unlawfully searched. Overall, the players, crowd and subject of the matter is anyone and everyone who lives in the United States. This incident could be directly reflected to the potential passengers for future American Airlines flights. The subject more clearly is that of racial issues. Unfortunately, this subject is more discrimination that anything else, but anyone could be subjected to such mistreatments. From this stand point, the context setter is the person who posted the image but again, anyone could be effected by his treatment.

The company too may face some back lash, as its employees and stock holders could see this icident harm the general view of the public.

Overall, an incident such as this, is unacceptable in every level of the stake holder analysis. For the individual, it won’t be easy to bounce back and the company as a whole will need some damage maintenance done to keep potentially traveling citizens from booking with another company.

I don’t have the link anymore but I’ve attached the image here.

Vacation Blog 3

Easily one of my most memorable vacations was last year, to Orlando Florida and Walt Disney World. I had just moved back to Ohio and was at home talking with my best friends sister at about 10PM on a Wednesday. I still had about a week before I had to be back at work, and she was taking a sabbatical. She told me that she was considering going to her Grandparents condo in Orlando for a mini vacation. She was on the fence about it all, wasn’t sure how long she’d be there or who she’d go with, when I suggested, “If you leave tonight, I’m coming with you.”

Within the hour she, her two younger brothers, and I were packed and loaded into the car. The complete spontaneity of the entire adventure made it one of the most memorable experiences ever. This trip was full of “first times” for me. Not only was it my first time in Florida but it was my first time visiting Walt Disney, of which I am a true fanatic, and the first time we saved someones life (A story for another time).

After driving 24hours straight, We finally made it to sunny Florida. The next seven days were spent full of laughter, a bit of arguing and loads of sunshine. The beaches, the Magic Kingdom, and the downtown life of Orlando was a dream come true. The best part of it all was that we had no plans. We had no responsibility, nowhere to be, and we were surrounded by good people. We just did whatever we could think of and I couldn’t have wished for any other adventure.

Hello All,

I found this article on Independent that talks about an attempted hijacking on a Russian Aeroflot flight five days ago. The plane was forced down into an emergency landing as a passenger, supposedly intoxicated, attempted to break into the cockpit, demanding that the plane change course. No doubt this all happened within a matter of minutes, and the effective communication between crew members, air traffic control and ground forces was a key factor to quickly solving this issue. The company made quick to note that all its personnel are thoroughly trained in order to handle situations like these and ensured the safety of it’s members. Thankfully, no person was injured or harmed in the event.  By the time the plane made its emergency landing, police and emergency ground teams were on stand by. This event shines a light on the effect of useful communication. A potential hijacking is certainly no joke and it was essential that the captain, first officer and all the assistants on the aircraft quickly and effectively deterred the man who was causing a scene. In situations like these, decisions must be made within a snap of a second and delegated tasks must be made clear to everyone. I’d say this is a great example of practical, effective and useful aviation communication.

Thank you,

Artiom K.

It was easy for me to choose the aviation major at Ohio State because this is not my first attempt at pursuing something I’m passionate about. By now, I’ve come to understand what drives me and I do whatever I can to keep pushing forward. The power of flight offers infinite possibilities not only financially but also in the way that it can literally take you places you’ve never been before. Even now, when I look up to the sky, my imagination lifts me into the clouds. I remember when I was a kid we lived close enough to the water to where, when the air show was in town, I’d be woken up by passing Blue Angels. As soon as I’d hear them I’d shoot towards the window and then outside just to catch a glimpse.

With my degree I do intend to fly, but first hope to land a career working for Air Traffic Control, or some sort of aviation management role. The mastery of this field is something I intend to achieve and the security this field offers, to me, is more valuable than the expense of piloting as a student. Overall, everyday as I continue this journey, I boil at the thought of what my future in this field offers. For now, as has been in the past, I’ll continue to drive myself onward in hopes of achieving something great.

Thank you,
