Great! We will be on the south end of Boeing Plaza with you. The Deuce now arrives Sunday ~1230, after a drop in to the Milwaukee Airshow. The guy flying it is from Fond du Lac.
-
It was not as "cool" to cut a hole the back of the aircraft anymore. Cameras and technology were supposed to make refueling better.
-
Does anyone know where the push for the remote boom pod came from? From cursory searches, no space was gained by moving it forward. What was gained by seemingly complicating the process?
- Today
-
We are still sorting out some mx squawks that are grounding even as of today. Full thrash mode. Still planning right now on making it for static on the Plaza starting Monday and flying the show on Wed night.

We need a full investigation Epstein may have been killed in federal custody We have the files and promise to release them The client list is literally on my desk We are reviewing the files for imminent release We need to comb the files to protect the victims The FBI actually just gave us even more files which we now need to review NVM we're not releasing the files There actually never was a client list The files are a democrat hoax Are you still asking about the files What even is a file
-
There is always at least one

Cool.... some AI listening and doing shit in an airplane because someone said it out loud. What could go wrong...
-
We have to deal in reality. Siri integration can come in later versions.
-
It appears the current reports suggest the Captain shutoff the engines…this along with reports that he had some problems with depression/mental illness in his recent past tells me what most likely happened.
-
That's kinda impractical. What if they left their phone in the break room? Better to use AI. "Hey Siri, shut down the left engine!"
-
The funny thing is, no one has said they should have. Or that you should be looking for it. Or that in this instance they would have seen the guy. Or any of the things that precipitated the shift towards "stop blaming pilots!"

Drag queens and child predators are both bad for the kids. I knew it was just a hoax. There's no way a draft dodging New Yorker could be telling lies.

Some updated info on who (most likely) turned off the engines fuel switches: An initial analysis of the cockpit voice recorder recovered from the Air India flight that crashed last month reveals that the younger co-pilot asked the captain why he had turned off the plane’s fuel-supply switches, according to a US media report. First officer Clive Kunder had the controls of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for take-off and at the time of the crash moments later outside Ahmedabad airport, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal citing sources in the investigation, and it was he who asked flight captain Sumeet Sabharwal why he had flipped the switches, starving the engines of fuel. It represents a potentially important new detail, emerging several days after a preliminary official report in the crash revealed only that the brief interaction had taken place, without naming who said what or quoting them directly. - Etc,etc: Air India cockpit audio reportedly shows first officer confronting captain over fuel switches

He's TDSing

@grasshopper Truer words have never been spoken.
-
so weird, I thought it was the drag queens we needed to protect the kids from, not orange jesus 🤔
-
I figured that out as well. It's vomit inducing to let them all get a pass. I want the rapists to go to jail.
-
I think the whole point of the operation was EVERYONE was involved. Hence no pushback from anyone over the age of 30.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Trump is involved. If the rich are actually held accountable, the only things that will save this country are the public arrival of Aliens (ETs not illegals) or the second coming of Jesus (not Hey Zeus but real Jesus). Edit: Maybe another world war would take our minds off of the Epstein "hoax".

You mean like the little black book? Which is openly out on the internet for you to read right now? https://archive.org/details/jeffrey-epstein-39s-little-black-book-unredacted/page/34/mode/2up Or would you care about lawsuits opened by alleged victims claiming forced rape at 13, which names specific accomplices to Epstein, which were later retracted due to threats against them that made them scared for their lives? https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Johnson_TrumpEpstein_Lawsuit.pdf

No idea where this jet was in the movement process such as arrival or departure but let's assume it just pushed back. The crew is listening to the ground push crew (it does not appear anyone was on a headset with the crew but there are Bluetooth set ups now) and ramp or ground control. Unless one of those two entities told the crew that a lunatic was approaching the aircraft with the intent to throw himself into an intake, the crew had 0 visibility under the wing or close to the fuselage and had no idea this guy was there. Hard to react to a threat you never saw.

As someone who spent time in the 61 AS probably before you were in the USAF and 16 years as a KC-135 Boom Operator I’m trying to figure out the different age, ranks, service you interact with that tanker aircrew don’t? I’ve carried Army, Marines, SOF, three letter agencies, done AEs, loaded the same amount of pallets a C-130 can carry, delt with ATOC, done HR/dignified transfers, etc. If you’re referring to Rat, he’s a -141/-17 guy. His touch-and-go in tankers was to get command time, he hates tankers. He’s an airlift guy. There are retards in all MWS’s, Ratner wasn’t and isn’t one.

Being retired enlisted in a huge maintenance squadron OMS, AGS, or AMXS, pilots do not get or very little exposure to enlisted unless they fly a heavy with loadmasters/boomers, Flight engineers or flight mechanics. But that is a small exposure just to get todays mission done. They don't deal with the personnel issues such as EPR's, training, or discipline. We have junior mx officers with a MSgt Pro Super tied to them to keep them out of trouble before a O5 SQCC makes their life a living hell. My neighbor is a retired Army Apache pilot who was the MX officer in his unit, he flew all the OCF/FCFs before a line pilot flew it, totally different culture. It's been a while since the USAF had rated Mx officers and awhile MX was assigned to Ops squadrons. In the early 90's many OPCC's flew their jets into the ground not managing acft hours telling the MX officer and Senior Es to shut up and color. Try being in those squadrons with a bunch of whiney ABM's.
