Helicopter flight controls

Helicopter flight controls are used to achieve and maintain controlled aerodynamic helicopter flight. Changes to the aircraft flight control system transmit mechanically to the rotor, producing aerodynamic effects on the rotor blades that make the helicopter move in a desired way. To tilt forward and back (pitch) or sideways (roll) requires that the controls alter the angle of attack of the main rotor blades cyclically during rotation, creating differing amounts of lift at different points in the cycle. To increase or decrease overall lift requires that the controls alter the angle of attack for all blades collectively by equal amounts at the same time, resulting in ascent, descent, acceleration and deceleration.

A typical helicopter has three flight control inputs: the cyclic stick, the collective lever, and the anti-torque pedals. Depending on the complexity of the helicopter, the cyclic and collective may be linked together by a mixing unit, a mechanical or hydraulic device that combines the inputs from both and then sends along the "mixed" input to the control surfaces to achieve the desired result. The manual throttle may also be considered a flight control because it is needed to maintain rotor speed on smaller helicopters without governors. The governors also help the pilot control the collective pitch on the helicopter's main rotors, to keep a stable, more accurate flight.

Cyclic
The cyclic control, commonly called the cyclic stick or just cyclic, is similar in appearance on most helicopters to a control stick from a fixed-wing aircraft. The cyclic stick commonly rises up from beneath the front of each pilot's seat. The Robinson R22 has a "teetering" cyclic design connected to a central column located between the two seats. Helicopters with fly-by-wire systems allow a cyclic-style controller to be mounted to the side of the pilot seat.

The cyclic is used to control the main rotor in order to change the helicopter's direction of movement. In a hover, the cyclic controls the movement of the helicopter forward, back, and laterally. During forward flight, the cyclic control inputs cause flight path changes similar to fixed-wing aircraft flight; left or right inputs cause the helicopter to roll into a turn in the desired direction, and forward and back inputs change the pitch attitude of the helicopter resulting in altitude changes (climbing or descending flight).

The control is called the cyclic because it independently changes the mechanical pitch angle or feathering angle of each main rotor blade according to its position in the cycle. The pitch is changed so that each blade will have the same angle of incidence as it passes the same point in the cycle, changing the lift generated by the blade at that point and causing each blade to change its angle of incidence, that is, to rotate slightly along its long axis, in sequence as it passes the same point. If that point is dead ahead, the blade pitch increases briefly in that direction. Thus, If the pilot pushes the cyclic forward, the rotor disk tilts forward, and the helicopter is drawn straight ahead. If the pilot pushes the cyclic to the right, the rotor disk tilts to the right.

Any rotor system has a delay between the point in rotation where the controls introduce a change in pitch and the point where the desired change in the rotor blade's flight occurs. This difference is caused by phase lag, often confused with gyroscopic precession. A rotor is an oscillatory system that obeys the laws that govern vibration—which, depending on the rotor system, may resemble the behaviour of a gyroscope.

Collective
The collective pitch control, or collective lever, is normally located on the left side of the pilot's seat with an adjustable friction control to prevent inadvertent movement. The collective changes the pitch angle of all the main rotor blades collectively (i.e., all at the same time) and is independent of their position in the rotational cycle. Therefore, if a collective input is made, all the blades change equally, and as a result, the helicopter increases or decreases its total lift derived from the rotor. In level flight this would cause a climb or descent, while with the helicopter pitched forward an increase in total lift would produce an acceleration together with a given amount of ascent.

If a helicopter suffers a power failure a pilot can adjust the collective pitch to keep the rotor spinning, generating enough lift to touch down and skid in a relatively soft landing.

The collective pitch control in a Boeing CH-47 Chinook is called a thrust control, but serves the same purpose, except that it controls two rotor systems, applying differential collective pitch.

Throttle
Helicopter rotors are designed to operate at a specific rotational speed. The throttle controls the power of the engine, which is connected to the rotor by a transmission. The throttle setting must maintain enough engine power to keep the rotor speed within the limits where the rotor produces enough lift for flight. In many helicopters, the throttle control is a single or dual motorcycle-style twist grip mounted on the collective control (rotation is opposite of a motorcycle throttle), while some multi-engine helicopters have power levers.

In many piston engine-powered helicopters, the pilot manipulates the throttle to maintain rotor speed. Turbine engine helicopters, and some piston helicopters, use governors or other electro-mechanical control systems to maintain rotor speed and relieve the pilot of routine responsibility for that task. (There is normally also a manual reversion available in the event of a governor failure.)

Anti-torque pedals
The anti-torque pedals are located in the same place as the rudder pedals in an airplane, and serve a similar purpose—they control the direction that the nose of the aircraft points. Applying the pedal in a given direction changes the tail rotor blade pitch, increasing or reducing tail rotor thrust and making the nose yaw in the direction of the applied pedal

Later designs known as 'NOTAR' use an air stream to provide anti-torque control instead of a tail rotor. This air stream is generated in the fuselage by a small fan or turbine, and directed out of the rear of the tail-boom through vent holes. Internal control vanes can vary this flow, allowing the yaw axis to be controlled. NOTAR systems are safer than using a spinning tail rotor, and the absence of the rotor also removes its associated drag, potentially increasing efficiency.

Flight conditions
There are three basic flight conditions for a helicopter: hover, forward flight and autorotation.

Hover
Some pilots consider hovering the most challenging aspect of helicopter flight. Because helicopters are generally dynamically unstable, deviations from a given attitude are not corrected without pilot input. Thus, frequent control inputs and corrections must be made by the pilot to keep the helicopter at a desired location and altitude. The pilot's use of control inputs in a hover is as follows: the cyclic is used to eliminate drift in the horizontal plane (e.g., forward, aft, and side to side motion); the collective is used to maintain desired altitude; and the tail rotor (or anti-torque system) pedals are used to control nose direction or heading. It is the interaction of these controls that can make learning to hover difficult, since often an adjustment in any one control requires adjustment of the other two, necessitating pilot familiarity with the coupling of control inputs needed to produce smooth flight.

Forward flight
In forward flight, a helicopter's flight controls behave more like those in a fixed-wing aircraft. Moving the cyclic forward makes the nose pitch down, thus losing altitude and increasing airspeed. Moving the cyclic back makes the nose pitch up, slowing the helicopter and making it climb. Increasing collective (power) while maintaining a constant airspeed induces a climb, while decreasing collective (power) makes the helicopter descend. Coordinating these two inputs, down collective plus aft (back) cyclic or up collective plus forward cyclic causes airspeed changes while maintaining a constant altitude. The pedals serve the same function in both a helicopter and an airplane, to maintain balanced flight. This is done by applying a pedal input in the direction necessary to center the ball in the turn and bank indicator.

Forward flight in a helicopter has limitations different from a fixed-wing aircraft. In a fixed-wing aircraft the maximum airspeed is limited by the stress that the airframe can withstand; in a helicopter it is limited by the RPM of the rotor and the effective airspeed over each blade.

In a stationary hover, each rotor blade will experience the same airspeed at a constant RPM. In forward flight conditions, one rotor blade will be moving into the oncoming air stream while the other moves away from it. At certain airspeeds, this can create a dangerous condition in which the receding rotor blade stalls, causing unstable flight.

Differential pitch control
For helicopters with two horizontally-mounted rotors, changes in attitude often require having the two rotors behave inversely in response to the standard control inputs from the pilot. Those with coaxial rotors (such as the Kamov Ka-50) have both rotors mounted on the same mast, one above the other on concentric drive shafts contra-rotating—spinning in opposite directions on a shared axis—and make yaw changes by increasing the collective pitch of the rotor spinning in the direction of the desired turn while simultaneously reducing the collective pitch of the other, creating dissymmetry of torque.

Tandem-rotor craft (such as in the Boeing CH-47 Chinook) also employ two rotors spinning in opposite directions—termed counter-rotation when it occurs from two separate points on the same airframe—but have the rotors on separate drive shafts through masts at the nose and tail. This configuration uses differential collective pitch to change the overall pitch attitude of the aircraft. When the pilot moves the cyclic forward to pitch the nose down and accelerate forward, the helicopter responds by decreasing collective pitch on the front rotor and increasing collective pitch on the rear rotor proportionally, pivoting the two ends around their common center of mass. Changes in yaw are made with differential cyclic pitch, the front rotor altering cyclic pitch in the direction desired and the opposite pitch applied to the rear, once again pivoting the craft around its center.

Conversely, the synchropter and transverse-mounted rotor counter rotating rotorcraft (such as the Bell/Boeing V-22 tilt rotor) have two large horizontal rotor assemblies mounted side by side, and use differential collective pitch to affect the roll of the aircraft. Like tandem rotors, differential cyclic pitch is used to control movement about the yaw axis.

Bowling and Barkerend

Bowling and Barkerend is an electoral ward within the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. The population at the 2011 Census was 20,618.

Bowling and Barkerend covers the area immediately east and south of Bradford centre. It includes the areas known as Barkerend, Bowling, East Bowling, Swaine Green, Cutler Heights and Goose Hill. St Clement's Church on Barkerend Road has Pre-Raphaelite decorations by Sir Edward Burne-Jones. Note that West Bowling is in neighbouring Little Horton ward.

Boundaries
It is bounded on the west side by the Bradford Inner Ring Road (Canal Road, Shipley Airedale Road, Croft Street) then the railway line from Bradford Interchange to Halifax until it meets New Cross Street where the boundary heads south east around the edge of Parkside (New Cross Street, Avenue Road, Parkside Road and along the edge of the Cemetery). On the south side the boundary follows the Outer Ring Road (Rooley Lane, Sticker Lane) past Wakefield Road then forks east on Cutler Heights Lane which becomes Dick Lane as it curves northward. The boundary then follows the Bradford to Leeds railway line west. The boundary heads north again along Birksland Street and continues the same line between Gledhill Road and Whitehead Street, through the grounds of Leeds Road Hospital and along the edge of the allotments to Barkerend Road. Then north east along the path marking the edge of Bradford Moor Golf Course to re-join the Outer Ring Road (Killinghall Road). Along the north side the boundary forks west off Killinghall Road onto Northcote Road then turns west along Otley Road. The boundary loops south round Undercliffe Cemetery and back to Otley Road, as the road turns south the boundary continues west along the edge of the school fields to Bolton Road and continues west down the hill to Canal Road as it feeds into the inner ring road.

Arnoul d'Audrehem

Arnoul d'Audrehem (c. 1305 – 1370) was a Marshal of France, who fought in the Hundred Years' War.

Biography
He was born at Audrehem, in the present arrondissement of Saint-Omer, in the département of Pas-de-Calais. Nothing is known of his career before 1332, when he is heard of at the court of Philip VI of France.

Between 1332 and 1342 he went three times to Scotland to aid King David Bruce in his wars. In 1342 he became captain for the king of France in Brittany; then he seems to have served in the household of the duke of Normandy, and in 1346, as one of the defenders of Calais, was taken as a prisoner to England by Edward III.

From 1349 he held an important place in the military history of France, first as captain in Angoulême, and in June 1351, in succession to the lord of Beaujeu, as marshal of France. In March 1352 he was appointed lieutenant for the king in the territory between the Loire and the Dordogne, in 1353 in Normandy, and in 1355 in Artois and Picardy and the Boulonnais.

It was Audrehem who arrested Charles II of Navarre and his partisans, at the banquet given by the dauphin (later Charles V of France) at Rouen in 1356. At Poitiers he was one of those who advised John II of France to attack the English, and, charging into the front line of the French army, was slightly wounded and taken prisoner.

From England he was several times given safe-conduct to France, and he took an active part in the negotiations for the Treaty of Brétigny, recovering his liberty at the same time as king John. In 1361, as the king's lieutenant in Languedoc, he prevented the free companies from seizing the castles, and negotiated the treaty with their chiefs under which they followed Henry, count of Trastámara (later Henry II of Castile), into Spain.

In 1365 he joined Bertrand du Guesclin in the expedition to Spain, and was taken prisoner with him by Edward, the Black Prince at the Battle of Nájera (Navarette) in 1367.

The Black Prince recalled that he had accepted d'Audrehem parole after the battle of Poitiers and released him after d'Audrehem had giving his word that he would not bear arms against the Prince until his ransom was paid. When the Prince saw him he reproached him bitterly, and called him "liar and traitor". D'Audrehem denied that he was either, and the prince asked him whether he would submit to the judgment of a body of knights. To this d'Audrehem agreed, and after he had dined the prince chose twelve knights, four English, four Gascons, and four Bretons, to judge between himself and the marshal. After the Prince had stated his case, d'Audrehem replied that he had not broken his word, for the army the Prince led was not his own; he was merely in the pay of Peter of Castile. The knights considered that this view of the prince's position was sound, and gave their verdict for d'Audrehem. However he was unable to pay his ransom until 1369.

In 1368, on account of his age, he was relieved of the office of marshal, being appointed bearer of the oriflamme, with a pension of 2,000 livres.

He was sent to Spain in 1370 by Charles V of France to urge his friend du Guesclin to return to France, and in spite of his age he took part in the Battle of Pontvallain (December 1370), but fell ill and died, probably at Saumur, in the latter part of December 1370.

Merger
No one started a section, so I'll start. If anything I think the merger should go the other way. This article is about Yates racing. Yates is the minority party in this merger.

Talk:Lufthansa heist

In Pop Culture?
Shouldn't there be a section on the heist in pop culture? There have been at least two films about the Burke crew and the Lufthansa robbery. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.221.152 (talk) 21:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

That would be a good section. Turtleshell3 (talk) 17:31, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Plagiarism
So does http://everyravlik.blogspot.com/2006/10/ten-greatest-robberies-of-all-time.html steal from this page or vice-versa? Afabbro 14:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry....what?

Aftermath
the way the aftermath reads gives the impression Frank James Burke's death was related to the crime and happened shortly there after. but in wiki's page on frank it says he was 26 when he was killed....8 years after, and apparantly unrelated to, lufthansa.

Heist not actually in Goodfellas
Actually, the Heist was *not* depicted in the film Goodfellas, only alluded to. The only thing that happens is that Henry Hill hears about it on the radio.

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0101243/maindetails However, the films the Big Heist and Ten Million Dollar Heist did depict the event.

 * That's a good catch, they only talk about the planning and aftermath in the movie. I think I combined a re-enactment of the heist I saw on the history channel with the movie :) --Fxer 20:24, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

5 million at an airport?
Seems like a lot to me. Was there a bank there? An explanation would be appreciated. =) Lantoka 05:32, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The money was in the high value terminal/warehouse of the airport. For instance, all the paper money that needs to be destroyed or otherwise returned to the national mints (san fransisco, DC, philadelphia etc..), say when the new $20 were printed and old $20s removed from circulation, has to get there somehow, airports are generally reguarded as more secure than a Greyhound ;) In this specific heist I'm not sure where the money came from, but I believe it was mostly used, circulated non-sequential bills that were impossible to trace. --Fxer 08:23, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

No, it was money being exchanged in West Germany, being held there overnight, and according to Ernest Volkman and John Cummings it was actually closer to $8 million, Hill says $6 million.

 * Then tens of thousands of servicemen in West Germany (Wiesbaden, Kaiserslautern, Stuttgart etc.) were obviously paid in US$ and then exchanged their bills to Deutschmarks when they'd have a night on the town. Somewhere these $ where pooled and then bills that were beyond their lifespan would be taken out and sent back to the US for destruction. You couldn't really have a shredder/burner for $ in Germany, could you. That's how I understand it. 121.209.53.9 (talk) 04:43, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

No good sources here?
There's gotta be something better than three movie reviews and a conspiracy website. Where'd this material come from? Tychocat 11:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, let's see. How about every newspaper, magazine, history book and reference book from the era. This was HUGE news in 1978 and was covered extensively. There are extensive research sources and material simply from the contemporary media coverage. One can also check the FBI website under its history section, as well as numerous books about the principles involved on both sides (Wiseguy by Nicolas Pelleggi is particularly well researched and documented, which is one of the reasons it was used as major primary source material for the movie Goodfellas). Themoodyblue (talk) 07:35, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Not terribly encyclopediac
"A wiry man in a black ski mask pulled his mask over his face as the blood began to pour from Whalen's wound." I'll second that we need some sources here.

 * Agreed, theres a couple repetitions here also, I'm going to delete some.

Cancerous Contradiction
This article states that Jimmy Conway (Burke) died of Stomach cancer, but the article on Jimmy Burke states that he died of lung cancer. At http://www.freeinfosociety.com/site.php?postnum=98 and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099685/trivia and http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/lucchese2/1.html it's said that he died of lung cancer. Still, other sites from a Google search will say stomach cancer, however, it seems lung cancer is more popular. I don't have any solid reference material to verify one or the other, but am merely pointing out the contradiction. I see now that the article on Henry Hill also shows stomach cancer as cause of Jimmy Conway's death. GravityIsForSuckers 05:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, he probably died of one of the cancers you mentioned that then metastasized to other parts of his body. Metastasis is usually (not always but often) what makes a case of cancer a terminal case of cancer, as the cancer attacks and takes over other parts of the body. He could have died of lung cancer in his stomach, stomach cancer in his lungs, etc. The main point is that "Jimmy Conway" (actual name "Gentleman" Jimmy Burke) was a vicious multiple murderer who died in prison of cancer - is the specific cancer really material to the discussion? Seems a bit nit picky to me. Anyway, just my two cents. Themoodyblue (talk) 07:38, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

What Happened to the money
The article says only a fraction of the heist money was recovered, what happened to the rest? I assume Jimmy stashed it in an undisclosed location? Monkeyspearfish 12:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * From what I remember of a History Channel show on the topic, the mafia probably ended up keeping/spending most of the money. The mafias network would make it easy for all the money to disappear, flowing upstream to the bosses at the top, seeing as it was mostly untraceable used bills anyway. --Fxer 16:29, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Fxer is probably correct, as it is my understanding that whatever happened to the money, the FBI was never able to account for much of it. If traditional mob protocol was followed, Burke would have "kicked up" to both Paul Vario, his family's boss, and to the Gambino family (it was their turf), and then he would have been entitled to decide what happened to the rest. Considering the number of participants who were viciously murdered soon after the robbery occurred it seems logical that Burke kept most of the money for himself and a few trusted members of his crew (Goodfellas implies that Henry Hill got some of the money from Hill for his silence and assistance, in essence for being trusted by Burke, but there is to my knowledge no independent corroboration of this beyond what Hill has said - still it stands to reason). Tommy DeSimone and Hill would have been the logical recipients of some money to keep them happy, and more importantly quiet and "trusted" since DeSimone was Burke's main enforcer and Hill was his main go to guy. Burke's crew was very small and tight, and the other participants would have probably been viewed by Burke as expendable outsiders. Themoodyblue (talk) 07:49, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
Looks like the first paragraph has been vandalized (Cao crime family, Herzog Heist, etc...)...I don;t know how to revert... 162.136.192.1 (talk) 22:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Currently looks un-vandalized but the second sentence is missing something: "It began when bookmaker Martin Krugman told Henry Hill (an associate of Jimmy Burke's) about millions of dollars in untraceable money." Anyone more familiar with the subject able to fix it up? (John User:Jwy talk) 00:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Data from the burke article
This really belongs here: Jimmy Burke never expected the robbery to yield so much cash; his initial estimate was that it would be only about $2 million. He realized that a robbery of this magnitude would attract the intense attention of local, state and federal authorities, causing a lot of problems for everyone involved. There were a number of murders and disappearances following the Lufthansa robbery, as Burke became increasingly concerned that the others involved would lead the police to him, and because the robbers, having found out the amount of money they stole was a lot bigger than first thought, kept pressing Burke for a bigger share than was originally agreed upon. Burke decided to murder everyone connected to the Lufthansa robbery.

Parnell Steven "Stacks" Edwards was found shot to death in his apartment in South Ozone Park, Queens on December 18, 1978, only one week after the robbery, because instead of driving the van used in the robbery to New Jersey and having it compacted, he drove the van to a girlfriend's house, parked it in a no parking zone, got high and spent the rest of the night partying, then went to sleep. The next day the van was discovered by the police with his fingerprints all over it.

Tommy DeSimone's wife Cookie reported to the police that he had disappeared on January 14, 1979. He was never seen again. Police interviews right after the robbery with the Lufthansa employees who were victims revealed that even though all the robbers wore black ski masks, one employee remembered that one of the robbers was wearing highly polished shoes. Police immediately realized that robber was Tommy DeSimone, known to the police as a Lucchese crime family associate and Robert's Lounge crew member known to be a sharp dresser who always had a habit of wearing highly polished shoes, and that DeSimone would never be involved in a job of this magnitude unless Burke had something to do with it. Although it should be noted that Henry Hill, who became an informant against Burke, admitted that the death of Tommy DeSimone was the only occasion upon which he ever saw Burke shed a tear, and that the murder of DeSimone was in retaliation for the murder of two Gambino crime family members and Gotti associates William 'Billy Batts' DeVino, and Ronald 'Foxy' Gerote and was not connected to the Lufthansa heist murders.

Louis Cafora and his newly wed wife Joanna were reported missing in March, 1979 and never seen again.

Robert McMahon and his close friend Joe Manri were found shot dead in a Buick Electra parked on a Brooklyn street on May 16, 1979.

Paolo LiCastri was found shot to death, his half-naked body smoldering in a garbage-strewn lot in Brooklyn on June 13, 1979.

A cosmetologist and part time cocaine dealer named Theresa Ferrara, who often frequented Robert's Lounge who was at one time or another the mistress of Tommy DeSimone and Paul Vario, was murdered on February 10, 1979 when it was found out she was a police informant. Her dismembered torso was found floating in the waters off Barnegat Inlet near Tom's River, New Jersey on May 18, 1979.

Tom Monteleone, an Italian-Canadian mobster who was involved in a drug deal gone bad with Burke and Richard Eaton, a hustler and con-man, using $250,000 of Lufthansa robbery money, was found murdered in Connecticut in March, 1979.

Martin Krugman, the bookmaker who provided the tip to Henry Hill and Burke's Robert's Lounge crew, of Lufthansa insider Louis Werner who owed Krugman a large gambling debt and was willing to trade inside information in exchange for a share of the robbery proceeds and forgiveness of the gambling debt, vanished on January 6, 1979 and was never seen again. Henry Hill stated Krugman was killed on the orders of Burke who did not want to pay Krugman his $500,000 share of the stolen money. Said Hill, "It was a matter of half a million bucks. No way Jimmy was going to deny himself half a million dollars because of Marty Krugman. If Jimmy killed Marty, Jimmy would get Marty’s half a mill.”

The only robbers that survived Burke's murderous rampage following the Lufthansa Heist were Burke's son, Frank James Burke and Angelo Sepe, a protege of Burke. Burke knew that Sepe would never cooperate with the authorities under any circumstances, and he never pressed Burke for a bigger share of the robbery proceeds. Sepe had been brought in for questioning by the police about the Lufthansa robbery and the only thing he told them was "I don't know whatcha talking about". Sepe was murdered years later in 1984, shot in the head when he answered the door one morning at his Brooklyn apartment, in retaliation for having robbed a mafia-connected drug dealer. Frank James Burke was found shot to death on a Brooklyn street on May 18, 1987, over a drug deal gone bad.

96.224.224.47 February 2012 edits/vandalism
I'm not sure if edits made between 04/2/12 and 08/2/12, in "The Ending" section, concerning Tony Rodriguez should be considered vandalism, but I don't think it is relevant to the article to mention that another encyclopedic entry from a different site has "wrong" information. Further, when comparing both biographies of the "same" man, one begins to wonder if there weren't two different people linked to organized crime in NYC known by that name, at that time... I didn't revert the edits since neither versions seemed to have valid citations proving its source and am not sure about Wikipedia's policy about unsourced material being replaced by other unsourced material. 69.70.14.130 (talk) 20:16, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Airport name
I could be wrong about this but at the time of the heist JFK was still called Idlewild International Aiport? So may I suggest that be changed to show Idlewild with a link to the John F. Kennedy International Airport Wikipedia page because technically at the time the name John F. Kennedy International Airport did not exist. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 20:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

---

Actually, the airport was renamed in December 1963, the month after JFK was assassinated. It assumed the FAA code "JFK" on January 1, 1964. So at the time of the heist, the airport had been JFK for about 15 years.

Krugman's burial
In the detail of deaths, it says "Krugman was later discovered buried in the Robert's Lounge club along with Jimmy Burke's hijacker friend "Remo" and Michael Gianco who worked there as a waiter.[7]" - in the Jimmy Burke article, it states that Hill testified that the bodies buried at Robert's were relocated prior to execution of a federal search warrant. So, one or the other is wrong. Which? Irish Melkite (talk) 03:31, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Not the largest heist on U.S. soil at the time.
In 1923, Gerald Chapman and his gang robbed the Wilton Trust Co. of Wilton, ME. of $2.4 million. According to the BLS inflation calculator that's about $26 million in 2014 dollars.

Inflation adjusted figures
There are several figures given with the inflation adjusted figures "today" - but when was today ? These are not much use if they don't say when. (Is there a policy about that sort of thing ?) -- Beardo (talk) 01:45, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Lufthansa heist
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lufthansa heist's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "trutv": From Frank Capone: "AL CAPONE" TruTV Crime Library From Made man:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 04:35, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Charged v. Convicted
The first section states that Louis Werner was the only person "charged" in the robbery. However, Vincent Ansaro was arrested, charged, tried, and acquitted (and, coincidentally, was just ordered released from prison--where he was serving time for an unrelated crime--because of vulnerability to COVID-19 at age 85).

Perhaps the first section should read that Werner is the only person "convicted" in connection with the heist?
 * Good catch. Fixed. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:41, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

That DeSimone was not killed by Burke is very far from certain.
The article says without qualification that the 1979 death of Thomas DeSimone was a punishment for his unsanctioned killing of made men (Batts in 1970 and Jerothe in 1974). Please! The robbery and DeSimone's killing of "Stacks" Edwards was in Dec 1978. DeSimone disappeared soon after, and his girfriend finally reported him missing on 14 Jan 1979 she went missing weeks later and her chopped up body dumped in the bay. Moreover, DiSimone vanished soon before Krugman was murdered on Burke's orders s. March saw Burke putting an end to Louis Cafora and his wife (trademark similarity to DeSimone's girl being silenced). In mid-May 1979, Burke commissioned the double murder of Manri and McMahon. An article in the New Yorker (7Dec2020)p65-69 says that Burke having had DeSimone killed so Burke could keep more of the robbery money DeSimone had helped steal is one of the main theories of why his life was ended. Given the temporal priority of the robbery and rapid initiation of a string of demises deemed expedient by Burke, and which DeSimone's is in the thick of by timing and circumstantial evidence, I am not sure "theory" is a strong enough term.

He also represented the national basketball team of Serbia and Montenegro internationally. Standing at 6ft 7in, he played the small forward and shooting guard positions.

Budućnost Podgorica (2000–2003)
In his first professional season for Budućnost, Pavlović played in 14 games in the YUBA League and averaged 1.4 points per game. In his second season, Pavlović played in three games in the YUBA League and averaged 6.7 points. Also, Pavlović played two games in the EuroLeague.

Utah Jazz (2003–2004)
Pavlović was selected by the Utah Jazz with the 19th pick in the 2003 NBA draft. His American agent Marc Cornstein issued a clarification in response to a misleading Eurobasket.com biography mixing Aleksandar Pavlović with an 'Aleksander Pavlović' who played college basketball at La Salle University and Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania.

In 79 games played (14 starts), Pavlović averaged 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds. He scored a season-high 18 points on December 3, 2003, against the Houston Rockets and grabbed nine rebounds on two occasions.

Cleveland Cavaliers (2004–2009)
Pavlović was selected by the Charlotte Bobcats in the expansion draft on June 22, 2004, and was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for a 2007 first-round draft pick the next day. In 65 games played (nine starts), Pavlović averaged 4.8 points and 1.1 rebounds. He scored a season high 17 points on two occasions and scored in double digits on nine occasions.

In 53 games of the 2005–06 season, he started 19 times and averaged 4.5 points and 1.5 rebounds. He scored a season high 21 points on February 21, 2006, against the Orlando Magic. Pavlović played three minutes over three playoff games and recorded only one rebound.

In 67 games played (28 starts) in 2006–07, Pavlović averaged a career-high 9.0 points, along with 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists. He scored 20 points or more on seven occasions, including a new career-high 25 points on March 13, 2007, against the Sacramento Kings. Approximately two weeks later, Pavlović had a career-high six three-point field goals made (of 7 attempts) against the New York Knicks. After occasional starts in the beginning of 2007, Pavlović was installed as the Cavaliers' starting shooting guard on March 1, 2007, and started the remaining 24 regular season games. As a starter, Pavlović averaged 12.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

Pavlović started all 20 of Cavaliers' 2007 playoff games. He had playoff highs of 17 points in a game 2 victory over the New Jersey Nets in the Eastern Conference Semifinals and nine rebounds in a game 5 overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the 2007 offseason Pavlović was a restricted free agent. On October 30, 2007, after nearly a month's holdout he signed a three-year, $13.7 million extension with the Cavaliers. Pavlović injured his left foot on January 23, 2008, in a game against the Washington Wizards. He returned against the New Jersey Nets on March 12.

In the following 2008–09 season, the Cavaliers were beaten by the Orlando Magic in the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals, 4 games to 2. Pavlović became trade bait as talks with the Phoenix Suns were rekindled from earlier in the season and on June 25, 2009, he, Ben Wallace, and the 46th overall pick were traded to Phoenix for future teammate Shaquille O'Neal. On September 14, 2009, he was bought out by the Suns.

While playing for the Cavaliers, he bought a BMW car from LeBron James. There was an urban legend in Serbia that Pavlović won the car after beating him in one-on-one match, but Pavlović told in an interview that no such match was played. In another interview on January 2, 2020, he revealed that he still owns the car.

Minnesota Timberwolves (2009–2010)

On March 3, 2011, Pavlović signed with the Boston Celtics for the rest of the 2010–11 season. In his first appearance with Boston on March 6, 2011, in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks, he played 12 minutes, going 1-for-2 from three and 1-for-3 field goals overall, recording 3 points and 2 steals.

His contract expired following the 2011 playoffs, and he returned to Montenegro to work out for the summer. On December 12, 2011, upon the end of the 2011 NBA lockout, Pavlović re-signed with the Celtics. The 2011–12 NBA season opened on Christmas Day 2011 and Pavlović started for an injured Paul Pierce. He played 15 minutes without attempting a shot or scoring a point. In the Celtics' second-last game of the season, a 78–66 win over the Heat, Pavlović scored 16 points off the bench. In 45 games (7 as starter), he averaged 2.7 points in 11.7 minutes per game.

On July 20, 2012, Pavlović was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in a three-team deal.

Pavlović' final NBA game was played on April 17, 2013, in an 88–99 loss to the Golden State Warriors where he recorded 6 points and 1 rebound. On July 6, 2013, Pavlović was waived by the Trail Blazers.

Partizan Belgrade (2014–2015)
On February 10, 2014, Pavlović returned to Europe and officially signed with Serbian powerhouse Partizan Belgrade for the rest of the 2013–14 season. Partizan finished season by winning its 13th consecutive domestic title, defeating arch rivals Red Star Belgrade by 3–1 in the final series. In the final series he averaged 11.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. Even though Pavlović was the most experienced player in the roster, it was his first championship win in his professional career. The day after the game, he said that winning a championship with Partizan was his greatest career accomplishment.

On December 1, 2014, Pavlović returned to Partizan and signed a contract for the rest of the season. In the ABA League debut in the new season, he led his team in an 89–80 victory over Mega Leks by scoring 26 points and having 4 rebounds and assists. Over 19 Adriatic League games, he averaged 11.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

Panathinaikos (2015–2016)
On July 9, 2015, Pavlović signed a one-year contract with the Greek club Panathinaikos. On April 21, 2016, he was released by the club.

International career
Pavlović was a member of the Serbia and Montenegro Under-20 national team and played at the 2002 European Under-20 Championships in Lithuania. He was a member of the Serbia and Montenegro national team at the 2004 Olympic Games, playing in four games, averaging 3.5 points and 1.8 rebounds. Two years later, Montenegro, his native country, declared independence from the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. After that, Pavlović said that he would like to play for the Serbian national team. However, he did not play for the Serbian or the Montenegrin national team. When asked about a possible comeback in February 2014, he responded with: "I'm not thinking about the national team. To me, it became a political matter, not a sports matter. This is why I decided not to commit [to the national team]."

Trailblazer (video game)

Trailblazer is a racing video game developed by Mr. Chip Software and published by Gremlin Graphics for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Atari 8-bit computers, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 16 and Plus/4 in 1986 (there was also an enhanced version on Amstrad CPC 3" disc). It was ported to the Amiga and Atari ST.

In 2005 a remake for the Gizmondo was released, and was also adapted in 2011 for the PS3, PlayStation Portable, PS Vita and PlayStation TV as part of the Playstation Mini series.

The game received a direct sequel titled Cosmic Causeway: Trailblazer II in 1987.

Gameplay

Trailblazer is a racing game which players play as a soccer ball along a series of suspended passages. The game can be played either in time trial or arcade mode and four track. The races usually last between 15 and 45 seconds. Special fields on the track let the ball jump (blue), slow down (red), speed up (green) or warp speed the ball (white), invert the controls (cyan/light blue), bounce it backwards (purple) or are holes (black).

Development
Shaun Southern had made some great games for the Commodore 16 before he moved onto the Amiga and the game was inspired by the arcade game Metrocross.

Reception
The game was reviewed in 1990 in Dragon #158 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column, as part of the Mastertronic MEGA Pack of 10 games previously released in Europe. The reviewers gave the game 5 out of 5 stars, stating: "Our favorite on this disk; racing on Cosmic Causeway roads against the clock or against a robot. This one was really fun".

Zzap!64's reviewers also enjoyed the game which they thought was "an excellent variation on the race game theme". The overall rating given was 93%, qualifying the C64 version for the magazine's Sizzler award. Steve Panak, reviewing the Atari 8-bit version for ANALOG Computing, concluded that "the game is the most original arcade action wristbuster to come down the pike in a long time, and one of the best two-player competition games I've seen". Avery Score for Gamespot said that the game was one of the more unique and enjoyable of the launch games they seen. It received a Your Sinclair Megagame award.

Southern Winds Airlines

Southern Winds Airlines (also known as SW Airlines) was an Argentine commercial air carrier that operated from 1996 until 2005. Southern Winds was founded by Juan Maggio, who served as president of the company.

History
Initially a domestic carrier, Southern Winds began offering connections to international flights in 1997. The airline's own international operations were authorized by the Argentine Government in 2001. At its peak, Southern Winds operated an extensive domestic network, international flights within the South American region, and intercontinental services from Buenos Aires to Miami and Madrid; and charter destinations like Florianopolis, Porto Seguro, Camboriu, Tacna and Punta Cana. Hubs were maintained in Córdoba (from 1996) and Buenos Aires (from 1999).

Southern Winds' fleet was composed initially by Bombardier and later the Boeing passenger planes.

Though the company was founded as a passenger carrier, cargo transport services began in 2000 under the brand name SW Cargo. In 2003, an alliance was struck between Southern Winds and the Argentine-state owned Líneas Aéreas Federales (LAFSA) that involved utilization by LAFSA of Southern Winds' flight infrastructure.

By 2004, Southern Winds was a leading commercial carrier in the troubled Argentine aviation industry. That September, however, airport police in Madrid discovered 60 kg of cocaine packed in four unaccompanied suitcases aboard an arriving Southern Winds flight. The resulting scandal cost the airline its government subsidy, and ultimately resulted in the carrier's collapse.

The last flight was operated on December 5, 2005, although several proposals for the airline's revival continued to surface by 2006.

Talk:Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu

Untitled
I have greatly expanded the article on Deodat de Dolomieu for the Wikipedia. The article is based on an earlier article that I wrote for a college text published by University of Missouri which is out of print. I used as principal sources Carozzi and Zenger (1981) in which there is an English translation of Dolomieu (1791) and Zenger et al. (1994). I also used a dusty old volume on scientific biography to which I no longer have access, otherwise I would cite it below also. I look forward to any additions and/or corrections. Jay Gregg 12:40 21 August, 2005

Place of death
The current location name Chateuneuf is clearly not correct (typo + need to be disambiguated). Any better version of the location name? olivier (talk) 08:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Not found in the Dolomites
It is important to note that the samples that Dolomieu described in 1791 were not collected in the (what's nowadays called) Dolomites range but in the Tribulaun subgroup of the southern Stubai Alps, some 80 kilometres northwest of the Dolomites. He writes on page 6 that he took the samples from a river (Eisack?) in the area of "Sterzing and the nearby villages" (supposedly Gossensaß as this fits his later description of the mountains best). The name was first applied to the Dolomites group only in 1864 by a British tourist guide. StonerLemonBlues (talk) 10:55, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Sanquhar Declaration

The Sanquhar Declaration was a speech read by Michael Cameron in the presence of his brother, the Covenanter leader Richard Cameron, accompanied by twenty armed men in the public square of Sanquhar, Scotland, in 1680, disavowing allegiance to Charles II and the government of Scotland, in the name of "true Protestant and Presbyterian interest", opposition to government interference in religious affairs.

This symbolic demonstration, essentially a declaration of war, was among the first of a series of events that led to the Glorious Revolution and the end of the reign of the House of Stuart.
