A beautiful day to fly to brunch at Susie’s Cafe in Prescott AZ. A very long wait to take off again with all the Embry Riddle planes. This is snow on the Granite Dells just north of town. This rock is the pre-Cambrian shield and some of the oldest exposed rock on the planet. And yes, that is...

Does anyone know of a list of VORs in the US and their lat/long coordinates? I can find the list of all the VORs and their identifiers, but nothing with coordinates.

I think they should just decongest that airspace by eliminating these VIP flights. These politicians are very replaceable and they just aren’t really that important. Additionally, they can spend the extra 20 minutes working in the back of their limos in traffic.

That is essentially what it means to have a non-falsifiable belief. A very good test for that is to ask the person to name some evidence, which could exist in principle, which would falsify their belief. If they can’t do that, they have a non-falsifiable belief. Most people hold at least some...

Wow. No news yet on casualties. https://apnews.com/article/ronald-reagan-national-airport-crash-cebb142d24859ba0c4e0e4fd6c33773f

So in the best case scenario, for the rest of us, this amounts to some anonymous person says that someone showed him a presentation prepared by someone who knows somehow that these procedures work and the presentation claimed generally that they work. Does that about sum up the data and...

so just to be clear here, you consider the following evidence which has been adduced here to be strongly supportive: A few times you have seen a presentation where someone claimed, without showing supporting data, that the Israeli security procedures, which include behavioral profiling, stopped...

Has anyone here seen this film? Critic reviews are quite bad and the MetaCritic score is 54, which is well below my normal threshold. But I might make an exception given the subject matter.

That image Jim is interesting. So basically they name and specified the waypoints as lat/long and VOR/radial/distance. There is still an RNAV approach to runway 16 there, but the waypoints all have different names and are GPS based. The VORs are still there.

I am aware of those theories, yes. The article I referenced above discussed the evidence regarding the reliability of it. So, how strong would you rate the evidence which you have adduced here or seen personally in supporting the assertion that the behavioral profiling used by the Israelis...

I am interested to see an old chart for a VOR RNAV (not GPS) approach if anyone has one. I am about to purchase an aircraft that has an honest to goodness working KNS-80.

Actually I largely agree on the last bit. It certainly sounds like even setting aside drones being used to harass or harm those engaged in our drug interdiction efforts, there are some serious criminal uses of them. I'm not sure enough of a threat to justify all the regulatory supervision of...

The DEA and their thugs have destroyed a lot of people's lives as well. Witness the number of people with long prison sentences for things like possessing marijuana. But in comparing those specific two, the DEA or CBP use violence against other people. The drug pushers just sell something that...

Some of that sounds bad, though most of what is mentioned there is related to our war on drug users. I am always on the fence about how to view that. Who is really the morally worse person? The person ferrying the drugs or the person threatening to use violence to stop them? I am nearly...

Did any of the examples mentioned emphasize behavioral profiling as why this worked?

Even those clowns in blue could catch this guy. Not worth $10Bn per year though. https://apnews.com/article/pilot-arrested-dui-southwest-d444ead32a45e32b7873f29a6acf4e76
