I think a lot of venues will start avoiding these types of events because of the risk nowadays. Especially if their insurance carrier says no to coverage. Governments regulate some things, but the insurance companies are the pseudo regulatory agency of many aspects of life.

Just adding for info on how the Brits still do it, contractor/mil mix… https://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/embraer-phenom-100-multi-engine-pilot-trainer-aircraft/?cf-view&cf-closed https://ascentflighttraining.com/aircraft-profiles-phenom-100/ From Google AI During multi-engine pilot training (MEPT) with the RAF, students receive a total of 67 hours of live flight time in the Phenom T1, along with 47 hours in a simulator. This training is delivered by 45 Squadron as part of the UK Military Flying Training System (MFTS) at RAF College Cranwell. The total flight hours for Phenom T1 students are split across two distinct phases of training: Phase 2 Multi-Engine Training: Students receive 14 live flight hours in the Phenom T1 and 14 synthetic (simulator) hours over six weeks. Phase 3 Multi-Engine Training: This phase, which lasts 35 weeks, provides students with an additional 53 live flight hours and 33 synthetic hours. https://ascentflighttraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/NFTE2024-Campus_Accreditation_Report-RAF_Cranwell-GBR-FINAL.pdf Only 5 jets but damn it if they can figure it out we can too

I don't care if the guy was trans, straight or gay. He fucked up bad and people celebrated it. Those people are the ones I'm concerned about.

I'll explain it. It's different because people on the right were calling for people to be doxxed for things that literally every sane person in the world agrees with - i.e. murdering people based on their beliefs is something that should not be tolerated. So yeah, let's dox those people in order to shame them and root out what is a sick and anti-social sect of people who for whatever reason seem to be gaining power in our country. On the other hand, people on the left were using doxxing as a means to impose a measure of social pressure and control on groups of people they would fear would speak out against their latest social fad / cause: all whites are racists, but Blacks cannot be racist; transgenderism is natural, etc, etc. In other words they're using doxxing to avoid having a conversation about what are controversial topics. In short, the right is using doxxing to preserve society and social norms. The left is using it to undermine society. See the difference? I will say fairly, that using doxxing to target bystanders (i.e. someone's family) is gross no matter what the circumstances. Sins of the father and all... And I'm not sure what your opinion is on nuclear weapons, but we wouldn't respond in-kind to NK with a bio or chem attack because we don't have those types of weapons anymore. But if NK used bio / chem in an appreciable way (not a couple shells here or there) that was going to turn the tide of battle in their favor, you better believe we'd pull out the nukes.

A little drama in my backyard. Pensacola has a small railroad bridge that is called the Graffiti Bridge where people paint murals and messages. There is a local artist who does some detailed work whenever a famous person or someone in the news dies. Last week he did one for Iryna Zarustska, the Ukrainian woman stabbed on the train in Charlotte. Yesterday afternoon he started one for Charlie Kirk and knowing the time he planned to finish the community planned a vigil for Charlie Kirk last evening at sunset and quite a few people showed up including a BLM activist who ran up and sprayed the mural just as the event began. The crowd didn't take to kindly and someone sauced pretty him pretty good. He ran away with a police escort (no one laid a finger on him which is shocking). He then "collapsed" in the street and they took him away in an ambulance. BLM went back out last night and defaced it again. And by midnight our wonderful friends on the left had done this.
