Isn't it weird that we live in an age where we've discovered how to fly, like the birds... and even better, but somehow want to simultaneously drag ourselves back like 700 years? Hang on, what???? Is BillsFanNorth Carolina starting to get it... impossible.

Well if you ever make it out to Oregon and want to fly, I've got a plane worth a spin around some icy volcanoes. I'm thinking we're on some different sides of how we think this country should go forward - I'm ani-felon, but some things are even bigger than that.

Fair enough- the gentleman I'm thinking of in particular is named Rock. Curious, do you still fly, or is it something that you... did?

Cool man- but you were being a DICK. I chose to retract what I said. Well trust me, I know him.

I've known plenty of bad-ass pilots in my life, and you know what- every single one of them stuck by their plane, and every single one of them would get destroyed in that plane they defended until the end of time. I know plenty of A-7 pilots who would beat the ever-lovin-snot out of your F-18.

So these are the sorts of planes that I fly, single engine land, and both the Lancair and Cessna are fantastic airplanes in their own way. It's just ***** sad and pathetic that our leadership is out to demolish proper standards of everything.

You say things that really, just ultimately, don't matter. You, literally, just don't know anything about what you are commenting upon. It's pretty ***** obvious in this particular case. Maybe, because you have an obvious political agenda, just thumbs up something Sherpa says, if he replies?

And ultimately, we need the F-14's range. People don't know this, but the Tomcat literally kept our planet out of nuclear war. Sure, not the best dogfighter in its original form due to engines, size and whatever the hell, but there's no way to think anything beyond the truth that that airplane literally kept Russian nuclear armaments thousands of miles away from the United States, singlehandedly. You know this aircraft had a very particular role, correct?

You don't matter, but thanks for commenting. It keeps my something rating up, I think. )

So, have you ever conceptualized Anything like an Army helicopter hitting a civilian plane in Final?? Or a passenger jet, which we both know should have gone around with improper flap deployment, just ***** 'hitting the turf' and rolling around with a shattered wing. Now why would any of that happen? Idiots keeping things on schedule is my main culprit- yours?

The previous comment was written by a taxpayer who pays attention.

I don't have an aviation wish- I got my license at 18 and own a pretty damn cool airplane. The F-18 is a compromise of mediocrity, administered by the typical bull#### of a Dick Cheney type with his supportive cronies. A re-developed F-14, more modern and modular, would wipe any thought of that plane off the history books.

Sure thing! You're a former Navy pilot... and I'm jealous- please tell me you flew the Tomcat!!, and I'm an aircraft owner and private pilot- I don't want to misrepresent myself. But what I see, and this is not a stretch, is a system losing its functionality... or coincidences, but I don't believe that. We have an administration dead-set on dismantling our known norms- Have you ever seen anything like an Army helicopter colliding with a passenger jet on final, or a passenger het rolling over on a landing they should have 'gone 'round'?

At some point you're going to understand what happens under incompetent leadership. It's only just starting.

In all my life , Ive never seen a military helicopter collide with a passenger plane on FINAL, or a passenger plane get its damn wing ripped off upon landing. But now I've seen both in one week. Any coincidences, like massive stresses and idiotic oversight from some 'undefinable' sources come to mind?

It's kinda fun to watch him get it- I'll call it music of sorts.

I didn't vote for this level of incompetence

That's quite an expected way for you to misunderstand how to use technology, and basically everything.

Basic eggs were $2 a dozen a few weeks ago - $8 a dozen now. Gas is up 10% from a week ago. The bread we get is $7.29 a loaf now, up from $5.99 a month ago, up from $4.99 3 years ago. Not pooping you, deli sliced pepperoni, decent salami's bastard cousin, is nearly double what it was a few months ago. Orange juice is another standout - the Kroger basic OJ that was $1.59 is now, very recently, $4.29??? How do you make that jump????? And the better house-brand OJ that was $2.59 is now $4.79 with no hope of going on sale. We had a period of inflation because the federal government tried to keep ALL citizens in some form of decent survivability through the most terrifying disease period in over a century but, what is this? Agenda or incompetence is all I got on this one.

I know man. I want my country to be striving towards decency again. But unfortunately grandma's basement-dwelling 'gamers' get a vote by birthright... Bundy.

Have you ever had a single interaction with the VA?

Oh I know history, as it happened, and apparently as that little brain cell just ain't working for you. Of course the right-wing blamed Clinton for 'not preparing our country against 'these kinds of terrorist attacks' ' But I remember Clinton warning us that our biggest threat would be terrorism in his final address to the Nation. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Bill Clinton fan- he was a shuckster, and was for sale. But that's the thing, Donald Trump is literally the 'Golden Calf'... he's not just for sale, he's the epitome of a human *****- in every worst sense. He mocks every single human being who is religious, with every ounce of his being, yet religious people can't help but pray at his church of gilt. It's ***** insanity. That idiot's flock are on the wrong side of history, and may a true and kind God fling every one of their greedy souls into a pit worse than hell.

What does this even ***** mean - just stuff to say?? C'mon AL, get that brain cell a'stirrin for an original thought. I'd say I believe in you, but I really don't.

Yes, much like 911 was really Bill Clinton's fault... 9 months after he left office. In the grand scheme of humanity, it's really not my problem what ######ed people think, but now it's becoming my problem.

Yup, those are the 'official' statistics. Apparently it's only 1 in 450, so I must just be lucky because I know a VA counselor getting asked to leave after 7 years on his post as a Mental Health counselor. His parents are both vets and he went to school and decided to dedicate himself to working with veterans. You have no idea what you're talking about.
