This is the kind of question and analysis that is sorely needed wrt media. Glad its on utube, but this kind of content is what would make mainstream media great again. As for landing lights on the CRJ700, no idea if they're LED, or the red/strobe anti-collision were LED. I did read an FAA circular stating red LED lighting needed to be visible to NVGs, but that was regarding obstacle lighting. If anyone is interested, 737NGs are mostly incandescent. We have some 800s with LED systems. The Max is all LED. I like the lumens on the max more that the NGs. Its like a a 6 cell mag light vs a candle. My last question for the investigation, other than what will change to mitigate the collision risk in DCA, is why the ATC controller didn't tell the CRJ to go around when the loss of separation/collision alarm likely went off.

You read quite emotional. It's OK. Trump blustered his lies of making things great again, to include out of control spending. Some Rs balk and he brow beats em in line, except 1. I called out Trump's actions, that's all. And it's too easy because he does it all the time. And yet you seem to take it personally. Instead of attacking me for calling the shot, lay some criticism where it belongs... the dude doing the shots. You could have easily said, "Not a good look to go bashing Ds and out of control spending and yet he looks to do the same." Or something like that.

I say 2 commands, WARCOM and EARTHCOM. OK, maybe 3 with space. When the prez dispatches WARCOM, the enemy knows death and destruction is a coming. EARTHCOM is subdivided by regions for relationships, peace management, logistics, etc. Each command is lead by a single 5 star. Make 5 stars great again.

So Trump is going to veto this spending bill, right?

How can Elon fire a mil GS? Doesn't he have to follow the same process as the civ's regular boss?

Her bio looks like she just worked her way up, checked the boxes along the way, except OG, and maybe a beaner or so. Nav to UPT is a selection board. A10 out of UPT was a challenge in that era (our UPT dates are similar ballpark). Anyone here have her as SQ/Wing CC? Pete can have the staff he wants. He probably promised the job to a buddy. But based on the rumored type of guy Pete is wrt women, maybe prepare the popcorn?

OK. Seems like plenty here think this is the best way to date to get rid of useless sacks. So send Elon an email, be sure to CC Big Ballz, and name names. Mr Baggo Schitt, Remover of Spider Webs from Shrubbery, Wing X, Base Y, State Z. Add toxic leaderships too. Post results.

I would love to see stuff like all FAA ATCers ignore the email. Or simply reply, "My job. Now fuck off." Maybe add a link to LiveATC for their channel.

No. This isn't a my team thing. If I have a say, I'd hire Warren Buffet.

I was about to type some rambling on a what if regarding MEX, but it's too different. A more similar scenario is something like the US has fallen from superpower status and invades Mex because they have a ton of resources that we need to dominate CentAM where CentAM is like the EU and the US thinks it can regain respect and superpower status and we want those resources very badly and can't dominate without them, but we say it's due to immigration and drugs. This is what I think is more of the reason Russia invaded UKR, but saying its about resources and who sells to the EU sounds bad, so they just cry, "but NATO." I've usually though nations today take actions based on Neuchterlein's matrix of survival, vital, major, peripheral issues. Like a Western threat assessment. For Russia, talk of UKR joining NATO was not a true survival issue, but they say they saw it as one. I thinks it is a combo of NATO (I can see them whip themselves into a frenzy over the NATO notion) and the opportunity to take valuable resources and reestablish position in the world. Did they expect the US to play? Maybe not to the level we've done so far and they probably would have taken COA 2 or 3 instead if they thought so. Crimea was their example and Dems have seemed less inclined to do things like start AFG, IRQ, etc. Once committed, Russia is determined to see this through. Time is on their side because nobody is doing anything more to tip the balance. For UKR, this is a survival threat and I expect them to act as such. Sorry I missed out on all the dog analogy stuff. I go fly some and I'm a few pages behind. I'm surprised nobody said they'd shoot the dog if it attacked them. The analogy is poor because dog vs the most prolific killing machine the Earth has ever had, humans, is apples to oranges at best.

You equate putting the gear down to a gig line. This is why you fail.

So if Kamala had won and put Soros in a DOGE like job, that's OK? As to the civics lesson, I wonder what happens when the Executive fails to execute the budget passed by Congress?

DOGE should just cancel it. Trump can fly on his own plane.

Or maybe Putin can read too and used it as rationale to invade. "Look, this book predicted it, I'm invading. As for the energy argument, I think the world market would prefer Ukraine maintain control over its energy, not Russia. Yeah, China prefers Russia. Also, anyone that thinks more energy reduces prices hasn't paid attention to supply controls used by Oil Companies/OPEC. Remember when Obama released strat reserves just to see oil companies hold it or sell it? PS. Russia started the invasion, they fired the 1st shot. All the excuses played out don't justify it and giving them consideration for all those excuses makes them appear more justified. When Russia says a reason, say bullshit. Which is why many of us BODNers call bullshit to any Russian justification.

One set of flaps look down. Check the other wing.

Facts like Ukraine is the source of one of his impeachments and Trump is never one to forgive, so he thinks Zelensky has it coming. Facts like Trump has "appeared" to like Putin. Look how he writes, "ending the War with Russia" as if Russia is the victim here. And "MILLIONS" is hyperbole. So many signs that he loves Putin. I'm just wondering when the 3-way happens between Trump, Putin, and Musk. EU still has plays and I can envision them going it alone to help Ukraine. Hell, maybe Ukraine signs a deal for EU help with those natural resource leases vs Trump getting them. I don't believe Trump can think 10 steps ahead chess style, he seems more like a modestly successful reality TV star.

Shady Joe was often threatened to get a new CAC. The out of regs stash and grin were priceless.

The landing gear couldn't handle the situation. Navy guy going for the 3 wire?

Stop quibbling and stop being a dick. You clearly stated you are very smart, doing this posting stuff for way longer than little ol me, and like to say what you think is correct. All your words, paraphrasing of course. So I'll say what you can't/won't. What I think is correct is that Putin withdraws all Russian forces from all invaded Ukrainian lands and Ukraine gives Russia back the lands it occupies; a sign a treaty. Sanctions get lifted. Both nations lick their wounds and try to heal. ---- If the ear wigs say this kind of thing enough, maybe Trump, /s the most experienced and most expert negotiator the world has ever seen, I mean he's like a god negotiator /s listens and does this sort of thing. Surely he can because he's the best, right? But he is not the only player on the table and pissing off Europe via Pete ain't helping, but Trump holds a military gear card and an economic sanctions card*. Would the EU pitch in to play their own military gear cards if the US stops? Is it in their best interest to do so? Would Russia counter with cutting off EU gas/oil exports? If they did, could they outlast the EU to winter with the economic impact, perhaps coupled with more sanctions*? Point being, if the US stops helping Ukraine, can/would Europe try do it all by itself? I don't think Russia has the shift in leverage you think it has, especially if Trump stays cold stone. He probably knows he wins better if Putins wins less, campaign promise or not. If Putin gets to keep the lands, EVERYONE will believe Trump is weak and Putin walked all over him even if he thumps his chest and says, "look at me, I ended the war." Trump has to game this 15 moves out, not 1 tweet at a time. Can he? * Sanctions. We suck at sanctions. If it's Russian, just take it. No courts, no arbitration, just fucking take it. Then tell Putin that we're funding the war effort with all his money, and making a profit. DOGE that shit. Where's "Big Balls?"

While I haven't seen anything legal yet, there is probably enough info available for families to believe this was the Army/ATCs fault and start lining up lawsuits.

Remember, a visual approach is still a ATC cleared approach and does not relieve ATC of traffic separation duties.

I used all caps because you seem dense in answering a basic question, so I had to use a bigger font for you to pay attention. So here it is again, very plain. Today, what do you think is correct regarding the ending of the Russia-Ukraine war? Not 2 years ago, not 12 posts ago, today. Your turn. As for the rest, here are some of your bullshit personal attacks.

Vance's speech in Munich. Placeholder for, WTF comments. I'll post more tomorrow.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS CORRECT? JFC, it like talking to someone that can't read. State your position on what you think IS CORRECT. Is that too hard? Again with the personal attacks. Aspergers? WTF is wrong with you that you can't make an intelligent point without personal attacks? Oh, it must be the intelligence part.
