Badass of the Week
CAPTION: USAF Lt. Col. James Routt, an HC-130P Combat King aircraft pilot with the 550th SOS, waits to taxi after transporting two injured Afghan patients to Kandahar Airfield, Kandahar, Afghanistan, April 9, 2012, for treatment. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Greg Biondo) Got this from a friend's post about the pic: "A true living legend! A 1970 Oregon State Beaver Alumnus, Lt Col Jim Routt is the oldest flying pilot in the USAF. He started his carrer in the B-52 and was involved in planning the famous Linebacker II operation in Vietnam. Now, over 40 years later, he is flying Combat Kings in Afghanistan." Much respect --- PK...

Who's Really Flying The Plane?
Word... Big difference indeed. Doesn't change the possibility that the "subway switch" systems of today are or very well could be the foundation for large scale autonomous aircraft / ATC structure of tomorrow. As for me, I'm all about old school. Some of my best days in ATC were the ones filled with random BS between us and y'all in the cockpit... cuz it was pitch black @ night and no one else was on freq. Or when we would comically grade landings cuz we got to know and meet the folks that flew our airspace all the time. Good times! It's the little things. But hell man, take a look around... the level of trust given to automation these days is insane... and I don't think the damn society is done letting ones and zeros take over day-to-day life. It'll happen slowly and slowly all up to the point where "800 feet per second, six miles above the earth" will be as easy to accept as passing the damn salt. --- PK

Who's Really Flying The Plane?
Ha! I would almost say you are being sarcastic on this one. Yeah dude... computers are already trusted over humans in many situations. It's only a matter of time and this will not even be a discussion... especially when the people that automate these things start talking efficiency numbers, economics, and clear cut proof that human error stats are more prevalent than automation issues. Hell, it might not even take that... just get Oprah on one of them things and you will already have half the country on board. Just sayin' ... people believe everything they see on TV. As soon as TV says it's good, then it's good. NICE!!! --- PK...
