  • I live next to a tiny local airport that sees maybe 4 Cessna 172s a day.
    But, the army flies about 6 of these in every week and does touch-and-goes with them at the airport and sometimes they stop for Jet-A.
    Why does a tiny airport have Jet-A?
    For the Chinooks.
    But I love those bastards, they shake the whole house when they fly over and I always stop to look, even after more than a decade.

    And every capitalist country slowly removes these benefits until major uprisings.

    We figured out a long time ago that there’s only two things people need in order to keep them happy:
    Bread and Circuses.
    As long as people have food on their table and a source of entertainment you can take everything else away and they’ll be content enough to not revolt.
    But it’s important to not take everything else away at once either, that’s why they chisel away at them until only those two are left.

    Oh for sure, but I do wonder long they’ll drag out the “missing” narrative.
    Eventually they’ll have to acknowledge he’s dead so they can appoint his successor.
    They’re probably still arguing over whether they’re going to blame Israel or The US.











  • It’s a different app of the same name but it’s very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
    It’s probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it’s not the best for hourly weather and radar.
    They have the same name but it’s too very different experiences.
    The windy app with a red icon is far superior in my opinion.
