The Netjets preliminary report on the accident in Laredo is not great.
I’m not an expert in aircraft maintenance but I know enough that when I read the preliminary, it’s not good.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES! I have long been interested in why so many people believe in conspiracy theories. I first ran into "Flat Earthers" when my Instagram page was small but growing rapidly. I was often asked "Can you see the curvature of the earth when you are flying?" The answer to that question is yes and no. We are not high enough to see the actual curvature, however, during most sunrises and sunsets we can see the shadow of the earth (WHICH IS CURVED) reflecting on the atmosphere. I tried to reason with FEs over the years to no avail. Eventually I started posting "Flat Earth Friday" posts to poke fun at all the silliness being posted. Conspiracy theories seem to be EVERYWHERE now, I guess some people thrive on them. The internet has brought about many amazing things, however it has also allowed a platform where people can gather together and "pool their ignorance”. A 100 years ago "Flat Earthers" were rare and heavily ridiculed, now they have hundreds of thousands of pages and platforms with millions of followers around the globe 😜🤷♂️

Arrived home at 01:00 after my trip. Dogsitter texted me one of the pups jumped the gate to get upstairs, but he hadn’t been able to check for a mess.
The dog pooped, the Roomba ran AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW THAT WENT.

Higher speed, aft CG , and rapid max turn command will skid the nose gear tires every time. 😃

An aircraft maintenance technician (AMT) taxiing a FedEx MD-11F at LAX took the turn too fast, burning some rubber on the nose gear. Now he has a tire change! 📹: Mr. Gaucho

The 737 cockpit jumpseat is the most uncomfortable seat in the history of aviation.

Colorado is absolutely on fire. Crazy to see the fire creating its own weather.

I flew over this recently. It is massive and still growing.

Lots of questions on this one. Hard to explain the 22,000 feet per minute descent.
