In light of Musk's decision to ban journalists for simply posting a link to real time public data for flight following, I can no longer in good conscience utilize @Twitter .
I'm not closing the account (to protect the handle) but this will be my last post.

Bob Barker is 99 years old.
That means that Bob Barker was in his thirties when the 737 entered service.
Elon Musk bought Twitter because he was pissed somebody was able to track his private jet and he didn't know how to keep that information private on his own.
That's my theory.
It appears that all automated flight tracking accounts utilizing open source data from @ADSBexchange have been banned from Twitter, including @RUOligarchJets.
I swear when I checked the forecast for Denver this week, 25°F, 40MPH winds and snow wasn't on there.
I am SO not packed for this. 🥶
737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 certification issue in layman's terms:
There is an alerting system that has become standard in modern airliners called EICAS.
EICAS makes identifying and isolating system failures quick and easy as the aircraft presents the issue on a single screen 1/4
because it would require more pilot training to emphasize how 737s with EICAS would be different to operate during an emergency than previous models of the 737. That training would add significant expense to the initial purchasing cost of the new aircraft. 4/4
Congratulations! So are you going to go fly passengers now and be a REAL commercial pilot? 🤣
Congratulations on your retirement!

Simply the best way to end #Artemis 1's final #Moonday.
What a show @NASA_Orion put on for us today.
So if Congress can sign a bill that forces labor unions to accept a contract that is lacking paid sick leave, why can't Congress sign a bill that forces the EMPLOYER to provide paid sick leave in the new unions contract instead?
Another project complete. This is my first attempt and making a diorama, too.
@united , watcha think?
