This thing looks even sexier covered in mud.

I suspect Biden will also pardon the 10+ million illegals estimated to have entered this country during his term but who he claims didn't do anything wrong either!! 🫣🫣

If the Democrats kept insisting “Hunter Biden is innocent!!“ then what did he get pardoned for?

I heard Biden is going to pardon P Diddy.

Hegseth may be out as SECDEF, replaced by DeSantis. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-considering-replacing-hegseth-with-desantis-defense-secretary-sources/

Props to the opposition Parliament members. Ignored the threat of martial law, climbed fences, stared down guys with guns, and held a unanimous vote to end the martial law. Technically has to be signed off by the President, but clearly he's done.

Anyone with a quarter of a brain could’ve seen AFFORGEN was doomed from the start. Same thing with this A-Staff construct at the wing level.

Because it is unconstitutional. The 10th Amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Education is never addressed in the Constitution, thus it is reserved to the states or to the people. Either one of those, but not to the Federal government.

busdriver's summary above is spot on. I flew the CV for 12 years. I wouldn't say chip burns were a 'common' thing but a singular chip burn would be seen every so often. The only time I got multiple PRGB chip burns I turned home after the second one, had a third one on final, and subsequently MX found the gear box was chipped out. I was just doing local training, easy call to go home. I also flew over open ocean frequently and we would talk through various EPs that would suck (such as PRGB chips or a drive system failure). Overall, the general consensus was that unless we doing a no fail POTUS directed mission, don't fuck around with chips. Another thing from this accident that irks me is the rosy path we were led down by bell/boeing. We were always told to 'look for secondaries' associated with gear box chips. Well come to find out, you will see secondaries....about 6 seconds before the gearbox fails. Looking back, the logic was flawed. Reading through a lot of helicopter gearbox class A's shows that they don't give a whole lot of warning, such as loss of oil pressure, typically less than 30 seconds. The V-22 has an emergency lubrication system, that 'should' provide up to 30 minutes of lube. But that won't help if the loss of pressure is due to a gear coming apart. You just don't know what is failing inside the PRGB....not that it matters. Overall, I loved flying the Osprey. I firmly believe that if the Marana crash had not happened and set the political firestorm that was the V-22 program back then, people wouldn't be so emotional about the program as they are today. The safety record is smack in the middle of the pack. Oh and let's not forget that CAT5 lists the CV-22 on his bio....funny....because he crashed one.
