TSA is part of the Department of Homeland Security, not the FAA. If people have problems with them, they have a complaint process that's pretty easy to follow.

Why aren't criminal charges filed? Next thing we'll hear is that its Manti Te'o' ex girlfriend. Too weird.

We had basically the same option and chose Charlottesville, VA. I like university towns. Virginia doesn't have nearly the winters of the north, has quite decent mountains and is close to both ocean and Chesepeake Bay options. Taxes, school systems, plenty of recreation opportunities. Northern VA is not something I ever want to deal with, and we prefer being near the Blue Ridge to near the ocean.

It is becoming more and more obvious that the league consists of 32 independent contractors employing 53 independent contractors.

I "got" that. Sarcasm doesn't get a pass when it's silly.

I don't need to lighten up, as a post which states: "We really don't need expensive, drunk, obnoxious and over entitled pilots. I am happy with sitting in a drone." is not something I would ever take seriously, or ever be concerned about. Capiche?

Or Air France 296. Or Air France 447. Or countless other unreported computer directed attempts to kill people that were overridden by humans. Your's is a disgusting post. Quite insulting. Not funny. "Family's?" Nice

And if we have any success running in the first two possessions, it won't matter what Greg does.

I had something related to this happen a few years ago. A tree from our property fell, and literally cut in half an out building on a neighbor's property. They called me and said it was my issue to get the tree out of their out building and I expected a significant bill for the building. I called my insurance company who told me how this works. They were not insuring the property at the time, since our home was not on it. Anyway, they said that unless the neighbors had formally notified me that this tree was a hazard, it was considered an act of God, and I had no liability. I told the other property owner that, and after he checked with his insurance company, he agreed. Anyway, I spent a couple days cutting this giant oak out of his building, but that was it. Point is, that if you feel threatened by something on a neighbor's property, formally notify them. In the case of a tree, I would do so using a tree arborist. Once that formal notification is made, they are on the hook for damages.

There's an easy fix for the stall. Google "Texas Crutch." Many grilling sites will explain it, and the technique works great to get through the stall, without measurably impacting the final product. I use it to cut 1.5-2.0 hours when I'm I'm time constrained.

These guys are not robots. Tuesdays off is a big deal, and they need to be home.

Bills' facilities better than anything they could arrange near there. Very short flight. Not a serious consideration.

Risking a minor diversion.... Does anybody here make their own charcoal? I purchased the necessary drums to do it a couple years ago, and I have an immense supply of oak and hickory. Add to that the cost of lump, which we use a lot of, and I was going to do it. Still haven't. By the way, cooked a seven pound hen yesterday. Dry brined for two days, then 225 until it was 135 internal, then 300 at the grill until it was 165 internal. Breast side down for the first hour and a half, then breast side up to finish. Aluminum foil tent for 25 mins. It was the best.

Not interested in sidetracking either. Small private jet is not a category. Airplane/helicopter/balloon/ are categories. What you are describing is windshear. It can be caused by the same thing, ie airflow perpendicular to surface obstructions that causes significant turbulence, but close to the surface it it termed windshear, and it doesn't matter if its a Citation, Falcon or any other aircraft. Windshear is windshear. They were at altitude, and it is called mountain wave at altitude.

Per your claim, I'd like to know when mountain wave, which is a cruise altitude phenomena, which it was in this case, has caused "loss of control accidents." The Pegulas fly small private jets, but that isn't important regarding this incident.

That is normal turbulence. Mountain wave can be something entirely different, and I suggest that it was in this case.

Mountain wave is an interesting phenomena, and very troubling when it occurs, but like most turbulence, it isn't threatening. It was probably the worst they'd experienced, and really unpredictable, but it's more a pain in the rear than anything threatening the airplane.

And two weeks after homicide hunter Joe Kinda announces his retirement from the tv ashow? Hmmmm.

I wouldn't even consider the possibility, but the NFL charters are kind of an undesirable but interesting operation.

Had him on a flight from Ft. Meyers, Fl. to Buffalo, connecting through Raleigh. He was on both legs. Some woman had a small child in coach from Ft. Meyers to Raleigh. The child was really upset and really loud, and the Mom did her her best, but was seriously stressed. Maguire noticed she and the kid were on the Raleigh to Buffalo flight as well, and bought her first class tickets. Kid slept the entire way, Just a nice guy,

Had him as a passenger a few times from DC to LA. From my limited exposure to him, can absolutely confirm his d'baggery.

Do you think you are knowledgeable regarding the subject of US-China trade? If you aren't, it is absolutely not free, and has never been. It has been an issue that in the interest of fairness, has needed addressing for at least a decade.

Was Esther/Lester the "Human Hermaphrodite" there? She was part of the freak show in the early 70's. Always wondered what became of him/her. I carried that scar for quite a while.

I can only speak from my experience. I don't discount the possibility of "others." What I do know is that after a lengthy career flying fighters at sea and over land, then airliners everywhere in the world except Africa, adding up to about 28,000 hours, and being with thousands of others who have done the same things, adding up to millions of hours, I have never seen anything that I would consider a UFO, and have never talked to anyone who has. I know there are a few people who claim to, but I have never met nor talked to anyone who has seen such a thing. I've seen hundreds of unbelievably remarkable things our solar system displays at night, along with others, who have witnessed the same incredible stuff, and there is a fair amount of chatter on the air to air frequency which we all monitor at night over international airspace, whether over the oceans, North Pole, Siberia, Amazon Basin or a number of other places, but nothing that couldn't be explained. That doesn't eliminate the possibility, but I am skeptical, and I was looking.

I've never had a problem with that either. Lump charcoal produces far less waste than briquettes, because briquettes have so much binder in them, kind of like plywood with all the glue. Takes me about two minutes to clean out, if that. My only concern would be if it adds additional non air tight openings. That can be dealt with, but generally, you should have air vents at the bottom and in the dome to regulate temp, and no more. Either way, sounds like a fine choice to me, but I wouldn't consider an electric starter in the calculus. Electric anything, especially made in China, as that one is, don't like high temps. Starting lump with a couple of rolled up pieces of paper in a chimney starter with no fluid of any sort is about as easy as it gets.
