Well, he didn't charge $13 for a shitty Bud, the vendor hired to do the event did. See, Mamdani isn't a commie, he hired Capitolists to work his party. That tweeter should be happy and buy a round supporting the vendor.
Won't matter soon, free/cheap beer at all those soon to be city owned/run grocery stores.

For those of you using an Insta360 X5 camera (or similar) in the cockpit, what are you using as a mount?
I'm also interested if your mounting setup is good enough for aerobatics.I have the X4 and just this week mounted it externally via a mount that attaches to my underwing tie down. I had it up to 180 Knots IAS and it didn't shake a bit.

a bit generous referring to them as people 😁
All things being equal, I'd rather have the gas.

Took my wife to the shooting range in Conecuh Alabama yesterday, as we were wrapping up we had a very unexpected flyover. I thought it might be @Hacker in FiFi but after checking the schedule online I am guessing it was Doc returning home after cancelling the rest of their season for an engine change in Panama City.
Must have been a sight to see the sky filled with these beautiful birds. The sound was incredible.

A buddy who is a long time captain at Delta posted today basically saying through no fault of your own sometimes your luck just runs out. I know they will find the cause and I seriously doubt there was thing anyone of these guys could have done.
Same for the people on the ground including a baby from reporting.
Rest in peace.

Probably cronyism. Thing is, the WH/DoD is not on his side, so why hire what amounts to a burning sack of shit into your company? Anyone here think Hesgeth loses track of him and the company benefits from his hire? Bold strategy, Cotton.
Trump and Hegseth have signaled potential obstacles to post service employment...we shall see if it happens.
I was an SVP at a company and they sent me to the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC for a senior executive leadership development program. While I was there I met a lady who newly hired to be our company CIA account VP. Her name sounded familiar so I googled her and discovered she was one of the 51 that signed the Russia Intel Memo about the Hunter Biden Latptop. I was absolutely stunned, does anyone bother to check these things? Trump was elected and he revoked her security clearance, she was gone the next day.-

Just so we're not always beating up on cops' shooting skills here; skip to about halfway through. Dude was apparently wearing two plate vests and thought the motorcycle helmet would stop a bullet.
Problem solved...taxpayers saved a ton. Well done.

MD-11 - Not good.
Really ungood - Takeoff incident. Engine was on fire. A friend at the airport says approximately 10 city blocks near the airport are on fire near the airport.

I know very little about him besides the recent uniform focus shenanigans. What are his negatives?

I'm eventually going to build our house on an airpark, and I'm really looking forward to learning to fly a tail dragger. I got to once and it was a hoot.
I learned in a Supercub that had a 135HP Lycoming...it was a beast and I thought normal ops for a Cub. There is NOTHING like slipping a Cub (or other taildragger), over the tree to a greaser one wheel landing on the grass....best if done at Sunset.
I am currently shopping airpark runway options. I looked at a 5280' grass strip on 80 acres two weeks ago. Looking at 361 acres this week.-

Airmen plead guilty to false statements in shooting that suspended M18
"Details about his death were released for the first time Friday, including that the alleged shooter, Marcus White-Allen, had pointed the gun at Lovan’s chest in a “joking manner.” White-Allen after the shooting allegedly urged the other two surviving airmen to lie about what happened, according to the statement."

Cruiser was confirmed today...god help those still on active duty.

I figured since I scored 2K rounds of .223/5.56 over the weekend at a great price ($500), I have credit to spend on another toy!
Where? Always looking for cheap .223.
Also, just bought my first AK...had no idea 7.62 ammo was so expensive these days, I always thought it was cheaper than .223. War in Ukraine?

Anyone care to comment on the stupidity of coaching contracts?
IMO, no taxpayer funds should be used. That's what TV deals, tickets, sports betting kickbacks, etc are for.
I would say "it depends." Like it or not College Football generates a LOT of money. Some of those funds are then used to subsidize other sports. If using tax payer dollars then I would prefer to see an analysis of the funds generated hiring a high power coach. Using Coach Prime as an example...horrible coach, but the reputation and "hope" resulted in several seasons of sold out games, increased TV coverage, merch sales that greatly increase AD revenue of the U of C.
Interestingly the big buy outs are now being paid by the boosters, in several cases buy a single booster.Break Break - add another one to the list, Hugh Freeze finally got canned by Auburn yesterday. A $15.8M buyout to walk away.
This situation does lead to some irony like Will Muschamp trolling the Gamecocks by posting a picture form the stands celebrating as his son helps Vanderbilt beat the team that paid him $13M to leave.

I thought NIL and the portal is what has killed college football, but in reality it's the officials! 🤬🤬🤬
The Gators got screwed....that was totally a catch. I was pulling for them!

I am a weather geek and always wondered what it would be like to be a Hurricane Hunter.
For those who followed Hurricane Melissa which is the third strongest hurricane on record (892MB and still intensifying at landfall), the NOAA and USAFR Hurricane Hunters had a constant presence as the storm built and hit Jamaica and Cuba. USAFR flies a fleet of 10 WC-130Js and NOAA operates two PC-3's. One of the P-3s (named Kermit), was flying a mission during the rapid intensification. As they departed the eye and flew into the eyewall they encountered what looks to me like extreme turbulence. Ultimately they elected to depart the storm because of the turbulence ..something that rarely happens. Video below shows what must have been a tense ride. Note the engineer working the throttles...or trying to while getting tossed around.

US Navy helicopter and fighter jet crash in separate incidents in the South China Sea
Blackhawk and Hornet down within 30 minutes.
Possibly bad fuel...

Idiot!
My son was texting me non-stop "Mario will not stop running up the middle!"
I get his dedication the run game and it paid off versus Stanford with 42 unanswered points but against better teams it keeps the game to close early and lets momentum and chance dictate the outcome.
I think Pitt is a trap game for us.Break Break - Brian Kelly out at LSU. He will get $800K a month as part of his $57M payout.
And of course Kiffin is in the driver's seat.
Lighten Up Francis!
