The landing gear couldn't handle the situation. Navy guy going for the 3 wire?

Stop quibbling and stop being a dick. You clearly stated you are very smart, doing this posting stuff for way longer than little ol me, and like to say what you think is correct. All your words, paraphrasing of course. So I'll say what you can't/won't. What I think is correct is that Putin withdraws all Russian forces from all invaded Ukrainian lands and Ukraine gives Russia back the lands it occupies; a sign a treaty. Sanctions get lifted. Both nations lick their wounds and try to heal. ---- If the ear wigs say this kind of thing enough, maybe Trump, /s the most experienced and most expert negotiator the world has ever seen, I mean he's like a god negotiator /s listens and does this sort of thing. Surely he can because he's the best, right? But he is not the only player on the table and pissing off Europe via Pete ain't helping, but Trump holds a military gear card and an economic sanctions card*. Would the EU pitch in to play their own military gear cards if the US stops? Is it in their best interest to do so? Would Russia counter with cutting off EU gas/oil exports? If they did, could they outlast the EU to winter with the economic impact, perhaps coupled with more sanctions*? Point being, if the US stops helping Ukraine, can/would Europe try do it all by itself? I don't think Russia has the shift in leverage you think it has, especially if Trump stays cold stone. He probably knows he wins better if Putins wins less, campaign promise or not. If Putin gets to keep the lands, EVERYONE will believe Trump is weak and Putin walked all over him even if he thumps his chest and says, "look at me, I ended the war." Trump has to game this 15 moves out, not 1 tweet at a time. Can he? * Sanctions. We suck at sanctions. If it's Russian, just take it. No courts, no arbitration, just fucking take it. Then tell Putin that we're funding the war effort with all his money, and making a profit. DOGE that shit. Where's "Big Balls?"

While I haven't seen anything legal yet, there is probably enough info available for families to believe this was the Army/ATCs fault and start lining up lawsuits.

Remember, a visual approach is still a ATC cleared approach and does not relieve ATC of traffic separation duties.

I used all caps because you seem dense in answering a basic question, so I had to use a bigger font for you to pay attention. So here it is again, very plain. Today, what do you think is correct regarding the ending of the Russia-Ukraine war? Not 2 years ago, not 12 posts ago, today. Your turn. As for the rest, here are some of your bullshit personal attacks.

Vance's speech in Munich. Placeholder for, WTF comments. I'll post more tomorrow.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS CORRECT? JFC, it like talking to someone that can't read. State your position on what you think IS CORRECT. Is that too hard? Again with the personal attacks. Aspergers? WTF is wrong with you that you can't make an intelligent point without personal attacks? Oh, it must be the intelligence part.

Thanks for the personal attacks, I knew I could count on you, signed, dumbass. It was Bashi that did the username, but I now think you are his alternate acct. You root for things that are correct so you say. Hmm. Like Russia can keep what it invaded? You think that is correct? Go on record here, we need to see you write it. And dude, the inflation, prices, immigration topic jab was that, a jab. I even labeled it, "a trap". With brotherly love, happy V day, D.E. PS, I'll send you a puppy pic later.

Your math is off

@gearhog I wrote 3 paragraphs, you did 2 posts and 7 paragraphs. Maybe I baited you as you seem quite driven to prove you're the better interwebs shit poster. Besides, I think you're one that commented on my username a while back. Lastly, I ain't gonna spend dumb time researching your crap, but I will say, if it sounds like you want Russia to win, then I'll call it out. You're right, plenty of others have said it too. How about this? Root for Trump and Pete to not cave in the Russia because anything less than pre-invasion borders looks like a cave job. Let's get something for all that money <--- sarcasm. PS (I know you like these): How are the deportations, grocery prices, and inflation doing? (Don't fall for it, it's bait).

We had a dude in the early scarf days tie it like a tie then tuck it in.

Just as such, it's unbelievable to me that you advocate for a Russian win and just let them have it. Your guy is in charge. Surely he can negotiate better than giving Russia everything it wants? You even have his mug as your avatar. Surely you must be rooting for him to really stick it to Russia as much as you want it stuck to poor old corrupt Ukraine that didn't provoke an invasion? Or is it that you love Russia and have been rooting for them to wipe poor old corrupt Ukraine off the map and really stick it the Bidens? OK, new topic. Security interests. Russia is and always will be a security interest. To think otherwise is quite naive. Rewarding a dictator for life with lands due to invasion sends too many bad messages. As stated by others, Russia's military power has been shunted. ROI is, may it continue that no American fighting man end up in battle with Russia, nor our children. Second ROI, Russia gets nothing and is taught a lesson, fuck around and find out. In one hand, pull out the map from 2000 and start from there. In your red right hand, be holding an economic smack down that God himself would be impressed to see.

Or "other" inspections ala the Gen Scheisskopf ball sack check in Catch 22 (Clooney style).

Yet Russia cannot claim victory. Hmmm.....

🥱 - Yawn. Change the rules first, then worry about the rest. VA started moving on tinnitus, but I don't know if they made the changes. Also, how do you treat that? Also, they never note tinnitus on a hearing test, they just keep saying, "stop pressing the button." BTW, at flight med, when the first tone is heard, its press... press... pause... press... At the VA, they had a way better setup for hearing testing and really good headsets. It's in that super quiet testing booth where the tinnitus really rings out. Lastly, I can't stand soft talkers or kids that run 5 words into one like the other day, doyuwanaresee. What? repeats. I'm sorry, I'm hard of hearing. Do you want your receipt? oh. No thanks. It's like talking to fucking Pikeys.

I just wanted to say this to be first, but I think we just started watching a 4 year long season of South Park.

It's not socialized, its part of the deal. Socialization would force all Drs and hospitals/clinics to be part of it and all of us forced to use it forever. I have a choice to use it or my employer plan, and my Dr has a choice to participate.

Thems the rules. Prove the lying part, or is it just being forty rucking sack, 20 years on a flight line, etc.?

‘Anxiety provoking’: Government workers describe their DOGE interviews https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/12/government-workers-doge-interviews-016214

Ukraine using a page out of the Israeli playbook. https://www.yahoo.com/news/drone-headsets-sent-russian-troops-153542947.html (underline below my emphasis). Russian soldiers received drone headsets that exploded when switched on, Russian media reported. The state news agency TASS said the sabotaged headsets were supplied via humanitarian aid.

I wanted Kermit D Mahomes to blame all the stupid NFL interviews he had to do leading up to the game as a time suck for his prep. But no, he had to point the fingers at reasonable things. Missed opportunity. So, more stupid interviews about "greatness" and blah blah blah. Let's meme the shit out of this pic, then. PS, I was mildly rooting for the Eagles.

Hey, is Trump going to get rid of this stupid/useless Obamacare tax form that I just got? That alone will save 150+ million pieces of paper, ink/toner, envelopes, postage, mail transport space, mail carrier work, mailbox space, time of tax professionals, time of tax software developers, call center time answering questions about the form, and 10 other things I didn't think of. Get Elon's "Big Balls" on it and EO that shit away.

Putting myself in the RJ's position, this is what I think: Tower asks if they can circle, the crew likely does a quick yes/no chat and answers yes. They quickly answer yes because they think they have the experience to take on that risk. Work load increases. PM probably looks up the RNAV 33 for box entry or goes straight into the box to set up a runway 33 extended centerline, anything to help them find the runway because they know its a tight turn to final with little margin to get it lined up and its night. With talk and action on those tasks, the ears probably tune out anything that's not their call sign as they set themselves up for 33 and look for the runway. Other dude has to fly the plane, maybe autopilot off. If ATC had called out PAT to the RJ, the ears would have perked up and eyes go outside and maybe this is becomes just another HATR in a pile of DCA HATRs. TCAS aural alerts are inhibited at low altitudes (500ft I think) so they probably never got anything from TCAS. Tower reiterating to PAT to "pass behind the RJ" probably isn't enough clue that the RJ is question was them, but it was this point in time where tower should have called the go around for the RJ because PAT was not performing their clearance of maintain separation. Hell, tower could have tried to notify the RJ of PAT at that last transmission which might have still lead to just a super close near miss. But tower put maintaining separation wholly on PAT. Possible fixes. Procedural deconfliction. Like sectors into a FOB, I can see the river as 1 aircraft at a time. Next, full-time helo position in DCA tower, no exceptions. Third, remodeling of some of the approaches into DCA and the helo routes. Fourth, night time restrictions for 33 ops, especially by the airlines. Lastly, slot restrictions on DCA to lower the traffic count. As HeloDude said, PAT is at fault with ATC contributing. Ditto the DISCLAIMER.

Does that mean the the Max is 75's older sister that's had more plastic surgery than a Kardashian, stretched skin, bad boob job (they're quite large, tho), and a sagging ass that scrapes the ground?

Naw man, I read the above and I think you're the emo. But hey, since you understand Gaza so much, I'm sure your ideas will absolutely work. Sarcasm switch is still on.
