When you read the definition of commute it does not specify the transportation. Someone told me that walking toward your workplace is also considered as commuting. Does commuting involve walking and any means of transportation? Nontraditional ones include ship helicopter boat etc.

 

I might land a helicopter on Zone A (coming from above onto a place) but I would rent space in Zone A. It totally makes sense! and that "on" in the context has nothing to do with landing from above of something. Thank you for the clarification I knew somehing was off with that "on" in the context. I guess should have more ...

 

Hello I wonder what does "Have" mean in these code names: - Lockheed Have Blue (demonstrator that preceded the F-117 stealth aircraft) - Have glass paint (a special radar absorbing coating for F-16 fighter jets) To my surprise a search in various dictionaries turned nothing. Thank you.

 

Yes "I fly a plane" refers only to the pilot.

Sir and madam. Would someone tell me what is the different between them? Here is an example It was not long before a helicopter arrived 'on/at' the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash. My sentence is quote from 'New Concept English - Book 2' by WONG Nam and published by Longman in...

 

Helicopter (and there are still a few airships in the US). I agree that "by plane" sounds wrong but I'm not sure your reason is the reason. I guess one could ask a pilot: Have you ever flown a helicopter?

 

Hi folks this is cited from 1984 by Orwell. Context: Winston writes it for his diary very first time. Since he writes suddenly like a flood he ignores fullstops etc. So my question: Does this bold sentence mean ?a cam attaced to that helicopter must have shot this picture until it raised up...
