    Stall warning horn. It lets the pilot know when the wing is at an angle of attack that will cause it to stop flying. That's sometimes a bad thing, but right before landing the pilot is actually intentionally stalling the plane and dropping it softly onto the runway.

    Camera takes around 25 photos a second normally, so thus once the propeller is spinning at a certain speed it looks like it's not moving. You can also do this trick with a rubber band in from of a old CRTV and it looks like a sine wave.

    Looks like a Cessna Skyhawk, not an Islander, by the shadows cast. I sat beside the pilot of a Loganair flight back in April 2000 from Pappy (as they call it locally) to Kirkwall. Watch the sea lions swimming along the bottom about 30 ft under water, from 2000 ft, during the 27 mile flight. A peaceful island with charming people. DON'T lock your car if you take it by ferry. You'll insult the locals. During my 5 week stay I stood for an hour under a green Aurora Borealis. An enchanting night.

    Probably the fastest way to reach the destination, however it's everything but a green solution. Hopefully in the very near future a solution like SeaBubbles or similar, powered by wind/sunlight/hydrogen will replace this expensive and polluting way of travel. A few minutes more, but without pollution would be an acceptable alternative.
