Agreed. And at the very least, now Russia can't launder their oil through Venezuela via their shadow tanker fleet. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the actual reason for the entire operation.

I'm glad to see Venezuela hasn't turned into complete anarchy...but Delcy Rodríguez (former VP) becoming intern President and reports of them going around hunting out US sympathizers doesn't seem like it's a good thing. And if Maduro was a drug smuggler wouldn't his VP also be complicit? Not sure keeping the communist/socialists in power is the go to move here...but what the hell: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Fox NewsSomali daycare in Minnesota broken into, key documents st...A Somali-run daycare in Minneapolis was allegedly broken into amid ongoing fraud investigations. Important employee and child documents reportedly missing. Shouldn't we feel bad for these poor immigrants just trying to make a life? And, on top of that, they were robbed!!! Because of all the cash and valuables stored at a daycare...a perfectly normal place to break into.

Comic Sans is where it's at.

Investigators found: Both forward and aft lugs of the left pylon’s aft mount had fractured The spherical bearing’s outer race had sheared away Multiple fatigue cracks around the lug bores Additional overstress fractures mark the final break In short, fatigue cracks had been growing inside the mount. Under heavy take-off loading, the weakened structure could no longer hold the engine. The right engine’s mounts also fractured—but only on ground impact, not in flight. https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Documents/DCA26MA024%20Preliminary%20Report.pdf

Glad to see my airline/union assisting UPS/IPA in their time of mourning and assist bringing Captain Diamond home to rest.

And the Airbus A300/A310, A330, and Boeing 767. Oh, and in a ton of military marine applications (Spruance, Kidd, Oliver Hazard Perry, Ticonderoga). The CF6 class of engine is all over the place.

Glad they are okay! Speculation time: Prop looks feathered and the wing damage was reportedly after the fact and hit a pole during the ELP. So...is this a "we fucked with the proven* PT-6 design" issue?

UAL 737 has same number of kills as the F-22.

Paywall. But, of topic, I'm curious what VIP aircraft it is aiming to replace...

Definitely not them buying the F-15QA back in 2017...nope. Clearly quid pro quo for a 747 BBJ.

Back in May. Definitely a creative TTP: https://www.twz.com/sea/our-best-look-yet-at-ukraines-aim-9-sidewinder-toting-magura-7-drone-boat

That's crazy to me. Granted, I've been out the tanker for a decade now...but I was requesting kill boxes all the time or at least sitting in the corner of the track that was closest to my fighters. Only time I couldn't was when I'd have 3-4 different pairs of receivers rather than just be Viper/Dude/Hawg's private refueler for a couple hours.

So did anyone get fired from the big meeting? I was told there would be drama...
