  1. That was Scarlett Johansson, right? Was pretty funny actually.
  2. Also complicating things is that this happened at night. During the day it very well could have been survivable since the pilot would be able to see more options like fields, roads, and avoid powerlines, etc. You don't have that luxury at night.
  3. I'm not holding my breath for any clear resolution to his immunity claims. Most likely outcome is SCOTUS rules he doesn't have 'absolute' immunity, but a sitting President does have immunity from A,B,C,D scenarios. So Trump will keep ranting and using a defense that each of his cases falls under one of those scenarios.
  4. Wonder how he didn't get any indications that something was wrong when he put the gear up.
  5. Reasons 1,2,3,4, and 5 why this guy should have been disqualified from any remote bit of trust. Any single one of these tall tales is automatically met with my assumption that it's 100% bullshit. People who can legitimately claim these things don't just casually throw it into conversations at hockey games. And in the case that these ARE true, and they are casually talking about it, they're not the type of person I'd trust anyway.
  6. Saw an NBC Nightly News segment this week interviewing a suburban Detroit Arab American voter. Said she would not vote for Trump either, but instead write-in "Free Gaza".
  7. Not sure why but I'd like to drive a hotel shuttle bus when I retire. Seems easy and fun, and you only need to memorize the airport terminals and the route to/from the hotel. And there's a good chance the passengers will tip if you're dealing with bags.
  8. Likely fuel starvation. Looking at FlightAware they were doing some sort of pipeline patrol/aerial photography and were in the air over 5 hours. Sucks because they had Terrell Municipal right there but tried to get all the way back to Mesquite. Time to update the resume...
  9. Thanks, and really appreciate all your contributions and analysis on here.
  10. Question for those who would know the answer ( @TwiceHorn)? Does this relate to the recent ruling striking down ISL? Is the logic behind one connected at all to the other and would that somehow impact the SCOTUS ruling on this issue?
  11. My take: this is the first time that app is getting widespread media coverage, so I'd expect the CEO to take advantage with statements like that trying to generate as much buzz as possible. Who knows if the numbers actually back it up - they likely don't. How long has it been so Santos' expulsion, 10 days now? He's noticeably getting less and less relevant in headlines and my guess is that will continue. By end of year I doubt we'll be seeing much of anything about him...until his next court appearance/plea deal.
  12. Prelim NTSB report is out. The Hawker pilots were distracted trying to troubleshoot issues both on taxi and takeoff and didn't respond to controllers telling them to stop.
  13. I wonder if he knew McKinney was less than 10 miles away. From what I read it was an emergency so maybe he was unable to get much further. Thankfully no serious injuries to all involved.
  14. Team Standard Time. Being -6 hours from UTC simply feels right.
