Hi, a few varied questions:

Are there any requests to not fire off rockets sent to homes underneath the approach to airports?? If not dangerous in terms of rockets hitting aircraft, the bright lights could cause temporary visual problems...
Looking through the non-normal checklist for a 767 in conditions of negative windshear it advices to consider the possibility of turning off EEC and overboost the engines. Is there a certain level of safe overboost i.e. with N1 and EGT in the yellow that can be considered??
final one, slightly more bizarre. I was on an AA 777 which had an engine failure in flight flying between KORD/EGLL. I travel on perhaps 6 ETOPS flights per year at the moment. What are the odds on me being on an ETOPS plane experiencing an engine failure.

Thanks for any answers.
Tom.
