I’m not superstitious.. but wow things come in 3s.. civ: DCA RJ, Philly Medevac, Alaska mil: DCA -60, Alaska F-35, San Diego Growler

It doesn’t really matter if the RJ had TCAS or ADS-B In or Foreflight.. the helo should have had that stuff. I have no first hand knowledge of their equipment.. but it sounds like the standard Army 60s don’t have it. These 12th AB/VIP 60s should, especially if they are flying in that airspace. And if they don’t have it, they shouldn’t fly in that airspace til they do have it. And.. even worse, maybe they do have the equipment, but fly with it disabled because of IMHO blown out of proportion OPSEC concerns.. which is what AMC is doing. Drives me nuts that I fly my Herk around busy Class B and C airspace with ADS-B off because.. China. It’s a crock of shit and we will have a mishap one of these days because we aren’t using equipment that could keep us safer in the non-tactical environment.

The MAFFS aircraft fly with a standard crew loadout, no one extra. The Cal Fire Herks fly with two pilots and and an engineer.

From a friend: “Jerked, when they should’ve jinked. #gonavy”

The next Top Gun poster is released:

I think California may have gotten them. It seems like the perfect platform, so what if we have to restart/recreate a production line. The plane is super simple, even Boeing couldn’t screw it up and it could be a much needed win in their portfolio..

Anyone know why the OV-10 wasn’t chosen for this?

A toast..

Can they both lose? Or is the only option on the table: we all lose?

700’ = 0.11 NM What a twat

Sounds like a win for the military industrial complex!

Not an airline guy.. forgive the elementary question. Why is there no ability to exclude the GPSs? Or ability to remove the bias introduced into the INU? Inflight alignment? What do you do if you lose power in flight and have to reboot?

Your GOP primary example.. is this: 49.5% Dxx 30% Txx 20.5% RTD There are zero RDT voters? Math in public, but you just need 0.6% RDT and Desantis wins. And.. if that’s not the case, it just indicates that DeSantis, in your example, is more extreme than Trump.

I said it would help relieve the stranglehold the extremes have on the parties.. which it would. Your example is confusing the feature with the bug. Political strategies will change due to the new voting system, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The current system doesn’t seem to be among anyone but the elites happy.. I really haven’t done much in depth research on RCV.. seems to be working in Australia alright, I understand they have implemented it differently than Alaska has, but I’m not sure in what way

Ranked choice voting would help to relieve the stranglehold the extreme candidates hold in the parties..
