Hello from Canada
I noticed your discussion on the Wright Brothers, and in checking your page, noticed that you are an airline pilot. Which airline? aircraft? You can see my edit history and that I am also in the same biz, but I fly a plywood version. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 01:00, 19 July 2009 (UTC).
 * Hi, Bzuk. Plywood, you said? Better than nothing, isn't? Because that's my condition now: at home waiting for any Brazilian airline to hire me. My last flight was on a VASP's Boeing 737-200 on November 2004. Few months later the company went bankrupt. Still dreaming (thanks to PC Flight Simulator)... BTW, I love your country (love snow and cold!), used to visit Toronto on VASP flight VP888/889 (MD-11 São Paulo - New York - Toronto) several times as 1st Officer. I also checked your page: congratulations! Fantastic aviation attributes. Wished to have a beer with you and talk about aviation stuff: I'm sure we have a lot of things to exchange...RobertoRMola (talk) 22:02, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you fly Mike Alpha? Is it true what they say about many of the instruments not working in its last days, being unable to do ILS landings and such? X X X antiuser eh? 20:52, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I did fly PP-SMA a lot! Despite it's age, was one of the best 737 of VASP's fleet. Never heard such stories about ILS problems. That's one of many bulls..ts about VASP, crew and fleet!!!. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobertoRMola (talk • contribs)
 * The story I heard was actually praising the crew, apparently at one time MA came into GIG with a non-functional APU and no ILS so the crew just had to do the whole approach and landing "by hand". I liked VP, was sad when it closed. Same with RG, which is still around but not the same. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia, you seem like you have a lot to contribute!

 * You touched one interesting aspect: the crew performance. I can testify that was because the pilots - and instructors - were aware of aged planes' "idiosyncracies" and acted farsightedly. Something not so well understood - and taught, unfortunately - at brand new super automatized airliners. APU failure is common event; being out of order for monthes on the same plane is something completely different... We got dual ILS receivers, ADI, HSI, flight directors at 737. So we're talking about a DUAL failure (almost impossible) or a general electric failure (much likely). Nevertheless, I'm missing that days...

Re. Christ the Redeemer (statue)
Hi, I reverted your revision on Christ the Redeemer (statue) because you removed a sourced piece of information and replaced it with unsourced info. I do believe your assertions are correct, but unless a reliable source is cited, it constitutes original research, which is not allowed based on Wikipedia policy. If you find a source, by all means add it back. Cheers, X X X antiuser eh? 22:47, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Good job. I made a minor change but all the facts and refs you cited are still there. X X X antiuser eh? 18:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

P6M-1 #1 accident
I just added a reply to your question about the failure mode of the P6M-1 #1 accident. I am intending in the next few weeks to review my books on the P6M, and the Seaplane Striking Force concept of what it was intended to be the offensive weapon.Mark Lincoln (talk) 15:41, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh, thanks Mark! You gave me some light about that event, and about my interpretation capacity, also... --RobertoRMola (talk) 18:57, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
