Messing with the FMS yesterday and came across this screen. Hmmmm. Anybody know the difference between mass sterilization and population control? We couldn't find anything in the manual.

Population control is faster acting should the need arise.

You will get orders on which button to use depending if The Donald, Hillary, or the Bern win.

Sent by PM to keep it within the circle of trust. :beechslap:

The guy writing that section tested it first and became unavailable.

Last night there was a line of weather extending from Austin to just north of Houston which provided quite the light show. This iPhone video doesnt do it justice. It was amazing to watch for the entire flight - from a distance of course.

Great video Alex! I love watching lightening at night especially from above.

Here is a cool pic from yesterday looking at the weather over Atlanta from FL400.

And another of the panel in the Ultra. That thing is a beast.

I needed a copilot for a fri-sun trip. Reached out to usual suspects. Same old tired answers ---commitments that flying a jet can't match. (Whatever those are). You know who you are.

Call my buddy Lockhart who talks a good citation game but has no actual time. We started down the citation path together. Anywho john was predictably unavailable. Then I suggested his 18 yr old pride and joy....boom...couple of calls and she is in. Multi eng commercial king air time...a natch. 3 days and 15 hours of jet Time. $1500 for a broke college girl. Damn. Drop out and be a contract pilot eh dad?

:crazy:

When MP found out he was in disbelief that a father who loves and cherishes his daughter so much would consent to such craziness. I kind of took it personally. :liar:

That said, I would think she would give me street cred with the younger gals. :lol:

I just want the adoration from them that the Bern gets. Not.

I will return her 1) safe 2) experienced with flying rock stars and 3) with actual hours her dad lacks. That puts her in rarified air. Sorry dad. Life sux when your daughter has more time than you. :woot:

(trying to jet shame JL here if it isn't obvious)

Wish me luck. I am sure she will school me. Watch for videos

Wow. Ya think JL will be up at night watching FA and polishing his guns?

What time do older rock stars hit the sack at night? I assume they have a truck that hauls all the gear around?

Re FA We are blocked. Hehe.

They have a crew that hauls the gear. The roadies.

No idea what time they er crash. I am usually in bed before the show starts. :rofl:

I do know they have looked a little ragged in the mornings.

Magenta cell on the localizer 27 KSWF. Ended up diverting to KPOU which is 5 miles away.

SiriusXM said the cell was topped at 40k.

Anyone do it different? Never flown through a magenta cell before that I recall.

Looks like a good choice to me!

Username Protected · **Posted:** 28 May 2016, 11:34

The right choice. Looks real easy when someone else makes it. Good decision. If JL's daughter was on this trip my guess is he was talking in your ear.... :lol:
