Respectfully, I'll disagree here: TWR: "Fly heading 170, runway 18L, cleared for takeoff" Destination, routing, and altitude already given prior to taxiing. I'm not sure that SW really took an abnormally long time taxiing to position and commence their roll - I interpret ATC's question...

In the video you posted, it sounds to me like Southwest was cleared for take off with heading and altitude assigned, unless I'm mistaken. If the video captioning ia accurate, it's FedEx that calls for Southwest to abort, as they (FedEx) are going-around. If so, good SA on FedEx, realizing that...

To be fair to the Southwest crew, it's not uncommon to be cleared to depart via a Standard Instrument Departure (SID) prior to pushing back, only to be assigned a new heading / altitude with take off clearance. No FMS fiddling required in this example - select HDG mode and turn the knob. I'm...

To add to your post, I believe the CC150 recently (2020ish) achieved IOC to support NORAD ops. Is 435 still doing AAR these days?

To circle back to the original comment about e-charts and navigation - electronic charts displayed on tablets (and in many cases multi-function displays built into an aircraft's instrument panel) will often depict the aircraft's position directly onto the chart. As SSM indicated, this is great...

North Star said: Weird obscure protocol thing: now that he's no longer a holder of an OMM, doesn't he lose the silver-mullet cougars? For clarity's sake, the "silver mullet cougars" are supporters of former GG Julie Payette's coat of arms, not Gen Vance's. That said, Vance's (now revoked) CMM...

Thanks, Brihard, for these succinct updates. Very informative!

The older 2 x Challenger 601 aircraft with obsolescent avionics were replaced by 2 x Challenger 650, resulting in a mixed fleet of 604 and 650 jets that are compliant with current standards. An avionics upgrade has been available for 604s since 2017, and according to the 2020 press release...

Attributing the quote also sends a notification to the person being quoted, allowing timelier responses in order to clarify, provide context, rebut etc.

The photo of documents arranged on the floor wasn't leaked, it was included in a DOJ court filing.

To be fair, he started with "one could say" which is by no means definitive. You don't seem to start your attacks with any disclaimer either. Just sayin'.

Feel free to provide the context of Trump's call to Georgia Sec'y of State Raffensperger. The full transcript of the call is published by various sources online. While you're at it, address the attempt to replace state-certified electors with an alternate slate of electors, the dozens of court...

That's a pretty convenient way to minimize past actions. Politicians and pundits employing "overturn" and "illegitimate" election rhetoric tend to fall in line once the losing candidate publicly concedes. That's why "they failed to incite anyone sufficiently" in 2016. Or, as you suggest...

Hilary Clinton called Donald Trump to concede. She also asked her supporters to accept the results of the election. Obama, the Clintons, Carter all attended Donald Trump's inauguration.

Of course, people will act if a desire is strong enough, but it's quite a leap to assume malfeasance will be the result. There is nothing wrong with either party taking action based on their desires and beliefs. If Democrats (or Republicans) wish to introduce legislation in order to advance...

Thanks. My point was to address your claim that: "Democrats are the ones who most often express desire to change the fundamental rules for elections (eg. electoral college); to stack or otherwise alter the USSC; to add states purely for the purpose of rebalancing the senate; to narrow the...

Donald Trump falsely claimed election fraud before, during, and after election. He pressured state officials to invalidate results. He pressured state officials to "find" votes for him. He actively and publicly encouraged disruption of the counting of Electoral College votes. He and his...

To be precise, the article mentions comments made at the gathering, not the call-signs themselves... Edit to add: your statement isn't wrong though
