as young captains with below average flight time?

we all know these types. shinny pennies. pushed to exec or staff work. typically weaker flying skills (or don't like flying) but excel as paper pushers. a story as old as time. was this the case here? i don't know. but the low hours is something illuminating. and the high profile WH gig. is it causal to the accident? no idea and won't cast judgement. my point is maybe we should bring back the primary focus of pilots to being a pilot. and reward them as such. instead you're rewarded for being the best exec and no one gives a shit about your flying skills.

visual approaches are useful in certain situations. and it does relieve controller workload.

Things were fine before 2021 when Biden dumped 10+ million ILLEGALS into our country. Things will be fine when they’re gone. More fear porn.

shows you the power of media propaganda. it was a brilliant strategy by the democratic party.

the media nazi smear is so played out.

PLEASE

This picture sums up everything. Most corrupt administration in history.

yeah ok. my argument is valid and will be proven correct with hindsight. carry on NPC

throw facts and show me where i'm wrong. or just throw spears like a child.

milley is a disgrace to the uniform. and a fat fuck.

copy putin wants to maintain his influence in his sphere. kind of like we do. none of that is a threat to our national security interests. you wrote nothing about putin wanting to keep invading west until he hits the atlantic ocean. crimea has been historically russian. no problem with them taking that. thankfully trump will find a end to this dumbass involvement we've done. meanwhile the REAL threat to US interests is lurking in the pacific.

Lohmier is the real deal, a fantastic leader, and will be GREAT in this position.

NERD

Can you articulate these goals? Did Russia blow up nord2?

I can imagine you writing this with a nice glass of expensive scotch in hand. On the rocks. Not too much ice. Extremely well articulated.

Hacker is the fucking man!

with a lame duck president (who uses the baby stairs to enter AF1) knowing the incoming president is going to change course. spiteful and not in the best interests of the country.

lol the same democracy that suspended elections? ok... the same country where the then sitting vice president had his crack head son on the BoD of a major ukranian energy company. same country which fired a prosecutor looking into crack head vice president son's company...fired after the US vice president threatened to withhold US government funding? yeah nothing to see here

gen chang is one of the finest officers i've met

holy shit!

nailed it. once mass training starts this will be interesting to watch develop, although i've heard the OA-1K has a locking tailwheel which should help keep some of the ground looping to a minimum (hopefully)
