  1. So happy to see that Juane Browne is getting some exposure. Dude is incredible at doing crash investigation breakdowns.

  2. Do we seriously not have any vast expenses of airspace that this type of testing could take place in? Alaska or the ocean, for instance? I get that white sands is desolate from a population POV, but it certainly isn't from an air traffic POV. Planes getting lost due to bad/imprecise navigation is the literal reason that GPS went from being a military asset to a public service.

    Alaska relies on small planes more than any other state. We have more private pilots per capita than any other state.

    Not accidentally, but negligently.

    This is the result of letting the bullies run the world in the name of avoiding confrontation.

    Oh look - stupefying incompetence resulting in more loss of life from this administration of a demented rapist.

    I mean, Brexit was stupid as hell, but. I think we “won”.

    The shocking thing is I keep going back and forth on this even after I am confident the US or UK has finally decisively shot itself in the foot harder than the other possibly ever could and yet I keep being surprised over and over again.

    It is why I created the community !UKvsUSA@sopuli.xyz it is still new but I see a potential here for a good "horse race" style community.
