T-37: 1954 - 2005 T-6: 2005 - ...wait, what? Are you shitting me?

Filed under: expectation management.

...sigh At the end of the day, I think this deputy (and cops writ-large), are tee'd up for these kinds of failures by design. Statute, case law, policy, training, and leadership. It's a soft-statism that manifests itself into a mindset that they can go anywhere, do anything, and at the slightest hint of discomfort, escalate to violence without fear of consequence. And it's reinforced and enabled by judges, or in this case, by a well-intentioned jury that at an individual level wants in their heart to support service to law enforcement. Mark my words: this very same situation, played out tomorrow, would result in the same outcome, within a rounding error of 100%.

The Russians did not "benefit" from our acquisitions process.

Congrats @GrndPndr you got it first. Looks like he got out okay. Bonus points for making us look up an obscure airfield identifier in the title. Traverse City, MI for everyone else.

Hopefully this tamps down the social contagion that "feelings" trump basic responsibilities and consequences for poor choices. (sigh)...hope in one hand,

Two things can be true at once: Postpartum mental health is real, and deserves familial and societal support toward healthy outcomes. That woman betrayed the most fundamental contract of the species, and placed her ills ahead of her vulnerable children; she is herself not deserving of sympathy, instead of the full weight of punishment.

I believe it was an endeavor Pilot, so straight civilian background. If it had been any of us, they would’ve had to replace the To-Ga button.

So LGA recently tucked the phrase "MANPAD alert" into a landing clearance, and nary an eye was batted. Responsiveness: Meh...its not that cosmic. Proactive measures cost $$$. I mean, the industry will do something...when they're told to do so. Till then it's on-time metrics and making the commute.

Forcing TRT, pinning total and free T scores against a performance rubric, wing-wide T numbers posted in the daily stand-up...there's all sorts of ways this could lead to fuckery...and yet that doesn't appear to be what's going on. Instead, it seems SecWar has directed the medical establishment to broaden the routine medical scope to include some important biomarkers, that have been traditionally ignored. Wouldn't be surprised if there are other markers included, but the MSM is target fixated on T because, well, muh patriarchy!!!

Unfortunately it's a feature, not a bug, of the anti-gun states. They're baking the court costs into their calculus, and passing unconstitutional legislation anyway. It's a long term war of attrition.

There's some, but not a whole lot, of energy/maneuverability stabilized above ref, below landing weight, on a 3 degree path. Not near as much (read: damn near none) during second segment climb. That's what I'm worried about. At least at my home drome I'm crossing the fence typically above 2.5k' and accelerating past 220kts.

Single runway @LGA? ...Yeah, should have zero impact on ops.

I must be missing something. If you have time in type and a Form-8, wouldn’t that automatically qualify you for the type from the FAA?

Saw this on X; was wondering if it was some AI slop/vaporware. Kinda makes sense with parking the KC-10's and no-go for the -46. Having a probe would open up the aperture for available baskets vs probes depending on the A/O and players in theater. Hopefully its angled enough off to the side to not be an annoying blind spot during WD.
