    To be fair, I've heard similar comments about "dangerous" regarding NCM and it being my home track my response is "wat?" Its not Putnam or Gingerman being wide open, and runoffs aren't as large as Mid-Ohio/Barber/Road Atlanta, but I would never call it "dangerous". I do think its probably a...

    There's plenty of LS-swapped Miatas out there, though I do think the K20/K24 is more popular. Dampers, spring rates and aero can pretty easily bring the balance back. Ozarks definitely seems like a "don't fuck around and go full send here your first visit or two" type track.

    Many around here who took the jab now showing same.

    I got the initial two-dose Pfizer in March/April 2021 and a booster in Nov 2021. Other than the first dose making my arm sore and sleeping like garbage, I'm sorry to say I haven't suffered any ill effects or mutations. I did get COVID in July 2022 for the first time so there's that...but it...

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    You are focusing in on the "rescue" part of the 12AB's mission while glossing over the single biggest aspect of it - "executive transport". That night they might have been doing a checkride for their "rescue" (continuity of government) mission but the overwhelming majority of what they actually...

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    12th Av Bt doesn't fly POTUS, that job falls to HMX1. There really isn't a comparison between airshow pilots who are arguably the public face of naval aviation and "working" helo pilots. There are plenty of active military pilots out there with less than 450tt, military aviation isn't anything...

    PAT callsign doesn't necessarily mean "gold top" Blackhawk....that callsign is also used by Army C12 and UC35As.

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    Agree completely. However, given that specific unit, their mission, and the rapidity with which the "maintain visual separation" request was made following the initial traffic call, I suspect there was strong institutional/operational culture (techcedure) there.

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    That's exactly my point, said more directly. With modern CRM, a crewmember in either seat can take the aircraft if safety is endangered. Insinuating an evaluator is incapble of doing so simply because the evaluee may have signed for the aircraft just isn't accurate. I'd also say since the...

    Plane crash At Reagan National

    I can't speak for Army aviation, but I've never seen a world where an evaluator/line check airman/whatever acting as SIC or PM is a passenger incapable of taking the aircraft from a PIC in order to maintain safety of flight. "I have the aircraft" means exactly that. Again, at some point an...

    Any claim of intentionality is pulling dumbass conspiracy out of one's ass. Hanlon's Razor absolutely applies here.

    At some point, an instructor/evaluator needs to do instructor/evaluator shit.

    Any F1 racing fans?

    Of the other 19 drivers on the grid, OP81 is the driver least likely to cede to Max. Dude is a stone-cold killer with smartass quips...now that he has figured out quali he's gonna be a menace.

    Fender/hood vents not only promote cooling, they reduce lift/create downforce at high speeds. C8 Z51s are serious track weapons, especially after Winning Formula or 89x get their hands on it.

    Ferrari started on Medium, then did Medium again on the first stop...needed another compound.

    OP81 is the dude...drives a perfect race and effortlessly slides in deadpan, smartass remarks on the radio.

    Maggie’s Best Guitar Solo

    I think guitarists are kinda like racing drivers - "best" depends on discipline. People can argue Schumacher vs. Earnhardt all day long, but they raced different kinds of cars in different racing disciplines. Vai & Malmsteen play guitar like Hendrix and Clapton play guitar...but they play...
