Got a kid interested in aviation? Not sure how to help foster it? In the US, the Experimental Aviation Association (EAA) will give kids from 8-17 their first flight in a small plane! I’ve flown a few; a great opportunity for kids & pilots, too! eaa.org/eaa/youth/free…

Saturday, I flew an Eastbound transcon I briefed passengers on Aurora possibility before takeoff, then again as we approached darkness. Asked FAs & passengers to dim lights 15 min ahead. A good show! I felt bad only passengers on the left could see… So I reversed course, held

I have military followers, so a word of caution: You better be *damn sure* the order is unconstitutional & that your act will survive UCMJ scrutiny, because not a single one of the people in this video is going to help you or will ever know you even exist.

They are cut up & left on display like that so their destruction can be verified by satellites. Part of arms limits deals the US made.

If you eject from an airplane, chances are high it’s using a Martin-Baker ejection seat. If so, they send you a package inducting you into the “Tie Club” – you get a tie, certificate, pin (or brooch) & patch. You can purchase a custom Bremont watch, too ($$$$). I’ve heard they

Over the last six months, our team has conducted a thorough review of our historic ejectee database. This detailed research revealed 35 previously unrecorded ejections, adding 35 new members to the Ejectee Tie Club! This brings our new total to 7767 lives saved to date 🔻

Something we don’t talk about enough is that there is a robotic spaceship with a cargo bay – kind of a mini space shuttle – doing near 3 year missions in space, then landing & getting turned around for a new mission There’s one up there right now

Not to be political, but this is called a “Knife Hand” in the military. It’s mostly a Marine Corps thing (which is where VP Vance got it), but every branch uses it to some extent. It has various meanings. It may be used to point to something, but more commonly is a gesture used

I don’t love the FAA, but I feel for them here. They’re being asked to explain something that – as far as they’re concerned – doesn’t exist & didn’t happen. “What is happening in the sky? We demand answers!” FAA: “Ok, can you show us what you saw?” “Here! This light!” FAA:

Let’s see how well you all know the sky! This video from @ABC7 shows something unique, that they admit could be something natural, but they’re not sure. They suspect it has something to do with the alleged drone activity. What do YOU think it is?

Readers added context
Pilots often perform small repairs/maintenance. Planes consist of 3 window panes, 2 outer ones which helps pressurisation and a 3rd to protect these from damage by passengers. This post is making it sound more dramatic than it is. Most likely for clicks to their site ecfr.io/Title-14/pt14.…

About 40% of my income goes to state & federal taxes. I’d be fine w/ that, if I thought govt was a responsible steward of the money. Or, if everyone paid the same flat rate. What I’m tired of is being told I don’t pay enough by people who pay less than I do & watching the money

No taxes for people who make less than $150,000/yr is the supercharge this economy needs to IGNITE.
