For tourism flights that aren't going to dock with a station, the forward hatch should be replaced by a "mini cupola" window module for Earth observation, protected under the nosecap for launch and landing.

Its late, but my vote for aviation photo of the year is this one from the successful deadstick emergency landing of a #Citation in an Argentinian cornfield. Love how the trail shows the wings were rocking gently as it scythed the corn before coming to a stop. Excellent pilotage.

Well the Nazis did consider themselves staunch Catholics and many clergy went along perfectly willingly with the Nazi takeover of Germany. Looks like those kind are still around.

My flight path yesterday afternoon took me over #Yosemite national Park. With no passengers on board, I was free to roll the jet up on a wingtip and look straight down at the massive freshly snow dusted, cut granite bulk of Half Dome 15,000 feet directly below.

Impeachable offense #28 since the inauguration. How bad are we going to let things get @SenateGOP?

All the men in the world die and the show still has to be about the last man. Seems legit.

This has been threatened before, but if it happens it will mark the end of my voyage on this sinking ship.

Its the worst part. I wore the uniform for 25 years, served in combat, took an oath to the Constitution, and this is the most disgusting display I have ever seen. That's the end of America happening in real time. We are on the precipice of the abyss.

Why isn't Garland saying anything about investigating Russians orchestrating with domestic collaborators the framing of the president for a sham GOP impeachment?

It was a foreseeable setback.
