RIP to the crew and those on the ground.

You are so young, if you want fighters stick with fighters. You got 5 years of applying in my opinion till I'd start looking at non fighters. That is of course if you really want fighters. Scores and letters seem good enough to get you in the door at most places. Good luck with the grind.

Should check out Chad Powers the new tv show. Think the coach is somewhat based off Kiffin at least appearance wise. Hilarious and worth the watch if you a college football fan.

Truly the greatest. Uncle Buck. Planes trains. Cool Runnings. Great outdoors. Can watch them all on repeat. will check it out for sure.

Guess he should’ve just taken the breathalyzer.

Am I the only one who doesn’t know who that is?

Fuel to cutoff and back to run may be part of the dual engine failure items? May have thought engines spooling back was dual engine failure? Maybe had wrong alt set in MCP and when VNAV engaged at 400 ft they went to idle? honestly have heard lots of plausible theories and I think you are right that they are gonna release information in the least attention grabbing news worthy ways possible. Piece by piece until people aren’t interested in it any more.

If you cant get the planes go for the pilots next. Passive intelligence could probably find the name and address of nearly every pilot in the US Military. Can't imagine what active intelligence could do. Send a kill squad (cartel? spies? poison? gangs? every scumbag has a price?) and no planes are taking off. If I'm thinking it, they probably are too? It's way easier to fight dirty.

Was lucky enough to fly these heroes home from the WW2 museum in New Orleans today. Special flight and will not forget their stories. They were so humble that they thanked us for volunteering for the flight when we were all there to thank them. Greatest Generation is an understatement.

People went to college to do things besides chase ass?

Guess they repaired that bird with another one that had a dual engine failure. Called it the Frankenvark and it never would fly straight…
