  1. Apparently, she had a Lear type rating (Filgueiras is her actual last name so it took a minute to check the FAA website) which I don't see many 20 Y/Os able to fund themselves and there are a lot of more qualified pilots out their stuck as CFIs who would kill for a L-60 SIC job like this. On top of this the real regulators of aviation are insurance companies which I'm more than a little surprised she could get insured under most circumstances. Now to Brabus' point none of this at this point appears causal.
  2. Would she need an SIC type flying international to the Bahamas?
  3. Dashcam shows moment of Florida plane impact At about 6 seconds and it was certainly hauling ass, but it appears to me that the horizontal stabilizer was missing
  4. I spend a fair amount of time in Florida so this really concerns me in that anyone of us could be staring at a felony in not for the Tesla's cameras. The lengths the system went through to hang this guy even with video evidence are truly scary and it took "only" two years to fire the officer. We all know he was cut loose because of public pressure only and the chief's statement was self-serving B.S. I hope Kevin Finley gets a huge payday. Imagine if he'd just gone inside and followed standard legal advice to not answer the door for the cops. Winter Springs police officer out after viral encounter
  5. Woman sues state and OHP trooper over excessive force claims | KFOR.com Oklahoma City Supposedly she didn't even have warrants after all. Yet OHP is trying to justify it saying she didn't "comply" and "resisted"

    Not ideal I agree. If we can get a lot of these into circulation before the stars potentially align (which may be years) to bring back a tax/registration it should be really difficult to undo as a practical matter. I mean how many people actually registered when they tried it with pistol braces?
  7. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if the cops got fired as way to send a message to the rest. Actually the more of the like minded PoPo that get sent packing now means they aren't available if the administration changes to a less friendly one.
  8. https://koco.com/article/oklahoma-national-guard-member-washington-dc-arrested-firearms-charge/73999695 Way to go Park Police. Part of me sees this as perfect test case. My guess is they'll eff with him for a few months and let him rack up big legal bills then either drop the case outright to moot the case or offer some bs plea deal that waives his right to appeal.
  9. I know this will generate a lot of spirited debate but I'm sure this will really push the funding and development of CCAs. I'll leave it to the smarter people on BO (within classified boundaries) to chime in on whether a CCA is anywhere near technologically feasible to take over for some or all of the F-15s mission sets. War has never been a safe or cheap endeavor but anything that lowers that cost I'm all for.
  10. Guess the bright side is it's better to be in a propaganda video for your own side versus the enemy
  11. After what he's been through I bet an O-6 retirement looks really good about now.
  12. Might explain why he ended up so far from the pilot. Pilot floating lazily with the breeze under his canopy with the WSO smoking in like a meteor.
  13. I just saw it. Did he really have a partial chute malfunction!? Hope he bought a lottery ticket

    Definitely looks better than the last one I carried lol.

    I have an identical set-up. I have the pistol next to my Surefire and the glowing rear sights make it easy to find both the pistol and the flashlight in the dark.
