Looks like N81VN had an expired registration, anyone?

I wonder if the TSA will call this one of their great successes? https://nypost.com/2025/02/06/us-news/teen-stormed-airport-with-ar-style-rifle-demanding-a-plane/ Kid should have gone to Atlantic Aviation, they are far more anti-gun from my experience.

I think we can let Gilbert and Sullivan explain.

Because such things are the hallmarks of a decadent nation whose military has lost track of its initial purpose?

Well, I am not in the aviation industry and gave up flying over twenty years ago. (Hence why I stay away from topics that relate to aircraft operations etc) Guess my definition of gnome is broader, much like my definition of politicians. I am not even sure analysts on the intelligence side...

So for instance neither the Secretary of State nor the dog murdering Secretary of DHS are politicians according to you. Guess you can define it that way if you want. Not sure many people in the "Beltway" would agree.

There is absolutely not any privacy right working for the government on the part of the individual. In some cases data may be withheld, but that is not a right held by the individual, but rather a choice made by the regime.

According to the WSJ Capt. Lobach's last position was "in the Biden White House as a social aide, as well as a certified sexual harassment and assault response advocate." And I think the "little bird" who said "she" was an "O-3" a couple days ago was vindicated.

The flight path did look erratic. I gather rotorcraft are supposed to stay over the river below 250' Hmm, maybe the solution is to replace the UH-60s with MV-22s, spend more printed money!

Yes, I made a general assumption. My thinking process was that if they were being paid to do these presentations they were not currently employed by a government. Generally to become a putative expert in these fields you would have needed to have worked for a government. I must concede, the...

My understanding had been that warrant officers were created by the English Royal Navy in the 13th century. As to flying, I think you could argue that during World War II, pilots in the US Army Air Forces who held the rank equivalent to a warrant officer were called "Flight Officers," meaning...

Let me preface by noting that I was subjected to a behavioral analysis in a foreign country last year and I would aver that it is likely more efficient than present alternatives. It was not burdensome on me and I have no hard feelings toward the airport security that questioned me. That having...

I find it interesting that the Army is refusing to disclose who the pilot in command was. I assume the third person was the PIC as they noted a captain, a chief warrant officer and a sergeant. Though maybe they meant captain generically as opposed to O-3...

Really, how are you defining a politician?

You expect the junior under secretary of education to travel by armored car like some state senator? Also, they don't work.

Would my inclination to believe governments generally manipulate data represent a NFB?

Granted I lived there a long time ago, so perhaps things have changed. But all I said is I would be surprised. At the very least this was not a typical UH-60 flight operated by the Army.

I used to live in DC. Lot's of other agencies use that callsign too.
