You’d think, if it WAS a disabled spacecraft, that it’d be calling for help already.

Livin’ the word
And walkin’ the talk.
Guess who fed and watered all those folks at Atlanta Hartsfield airport while they waited for power so they could get out of there?
Yep, “Hate Chicken”. Funny how those types of folks always step up, and the other side……doesn’t.
Odd, that.
Make Liberal heads explode:
Buy one of these.
Use it often.
Especially at places like Starbucks (if you can stand their “Coffee”.
Now THAT was exciting.
Went up today, for pattern work. Did 8 decent landings, just not all in a row. 2 bad, 2 go arounds mixed in there.
The highlight of the day was when I had just done a Go Around after a bounce. Climbed out, did a call for crosswind, then left downwind runway 18. Then called the base. Hear another call “Arrow XXXX is base runway 18……”. Which is where I was.. Called and asked him to specify his position…Immediately. . “Base,18”. I looked but couldn’t find him, and hadn’t heard any other position calls for him. My instructor heard the same thing and looked and couldn’t find him. Heads on a swivel looking….
Then his instructor came on and called CROSSWIND 18. He’d just departed the runway with a call about a Cessna departing, so I am not sure WTF was going on (Cessna is like an Arrow, right???). He was, however behind me in the pattern.
Whew.
Kinda skary for me and my instructor there, for a few.
You’ll notice that they don’t show
The “normal” light photos of the area….. At least not current ones….
Just the “false color” infrared.
Just the “false color” infrared.
Wonder why that is.??? Perhaps they hadda use Infrared because they could barely tell in “Normal” imaging that anything had been there?
And, of course, one must realize that this is a VERY small area out of how many MILLIONS of acres? about 6 soccer fields out of 13 Million acres.
It may possibly have inconvenienced one Caribou. Maybe. for 5 minutes.
I remember the terrible cries that the Alaskan Pipeline would destroy the Caribou herds and such. Didn’t happen. Was gonna kill the Tundra. Didn’t happen. Destroy the wildlife. Didn’t happen.
But environmentalists will believe anything if it sounds like it could be bad….and is presented to them in a manner that tugs their heartstrings.
When the enviromentalists start walking to work, and using only wool and cotton (picked by hand, and carded and woven without mechanical means) for clothing, and stop using any synthetic fibers (produced from oil) and eating only food that is grown, picked and transported by muscle power, not electrical or oil based energy,…..and when they stop flying from coast to coast, and stop using anything made of or using plastics (including their Apple products) and drinking their organically grown coffees that are transported in ships that use oil for propulsion (and trucks too) then they can talk to me about the environmental impact of sites such as the above. Until then they are hypocrites.
Remember this?
I bet it makes you smile as soon as you see it.
I’m off to the gunshew to sell raffle tickets for the next gun giveaway.
Last two years I sold two of the three winners.
2 of them to bloggers right here in the sidebar.
Enhance your chances. Buy from me!
Better
Didn’t make the trip to the class D airport today. The conditions were as forecast.
Stayed and did more pattern work. And did 3 landings the right way. “Do that every time”. Greased all three. Even with the crosswind. I think I am understanding better the energy at roundout.
Then did some stall and slow flight practice.
Then did one more and back to the barn. Got blown off the centerline a bit at the end, but not too far before correcting.
Finally, some progress.
I’d get mad, but what’s the use?
‘Twon’t change nuthin’…..
Seems lately when it is clear, it is windy with fierce gusts. And when it ain’t windy and gusty, it is snowing or foggy with terrible visibility.
Therefore not much flying taking place. Hard to learn to land with 15 knot winds GUSTING TO 35….
or IFR conditions. .
Now, after we had cancelled due to snow and 1-1.5 mile, then the snow cleared up 3 hours later and it was light and variable winds and 10 mile visibility…of course, my instructor wasn’t available then….I checked.
Frustrating.
Tomorrow I am scheduled to fly again. TAF currently says:
FM150900 26009KT P6SM BKN025
FM151400 28015G22KT P6SM SCT025 BKN040
And I am supposed to fly at noon (1800Z).
Damnit.
Except when there is a metal detector
Or a scanner, like at airports
So innunedo won the day
So lies, mudslinging, and innuendo sufficed to change an election.
The press colluded with the DNC to damage Moore.
Not too much, just enough that Jones won.
Odd, I thought that “Collusion” was bad. Or is it only when russians can be accused of it…..and Republicans.
(Not sure if the accusations against Moire are true or false. The timing of them was suspicious, plus the payments to the accusers damaged the credibility.)
But the election was swayed and the voters of Alabama once again showed their intelligence….and they got the Senator they deserve.
Yes, that last was sarcasm.
