I know but was it that way back in 1970 or have they changed the rules? I thought my 14 year old friend soloed. Of course maybe she did illegally....

I’ve tried googling it and can’t find anything about the history of it. I thought some of you old fogies might have been around back then and remembered.    ;D
Well in 1970 I was 10 and had already soloed my Schwinn Stingray so...

I might even vote for Ron Desantis over Trump in 2024 if they both run.
The vile hatred and hate-filled lies about Trump by the left and even by “normal” democrats is so pervasive and hyperbolic that it would be impossible fir him to win a general election.

As much as I love Trump, I can’t vote fir him in the primary if he can’t win the general.

I’d vote for DeSantis as well.

This seems most pronounced among public school teachers and school boards. These teachers and boards don’t give two shits about the students. Private schools have generally continued live, in person instruction for the past year.

Next public school teacher who says they are a brave “essential worker” should get throat punched.

There’s a woman in a leadership role at AirVenture who is a public school teacher. She was whining on FB because it’s hard for teachers to earn “Teacher of the Year” awards when they are working remotely.

I. Shit. You. Not.

That does NOT look like today’s Joe Biden.
I guess it’s real. However, in this picture, where he’s double masking OUTDOORS, he’s telling us masks are just virtue signaling and have no scientific support.

I should just quit this site altogether, given the level of discourse.
This is not an airport. You don’t have to announce your departure.

When they changed the Apollo 8 mission to orbit the moon, the crew asked what were the chances of success, and were told "50-50".  They all agreed to go do it.

 
Yep, and think about that. Leaving the earth’s gravitational field meant losing the security of being pulled back home.

Now Americans shit our show pants because of a virus with a 99.7% recovery rate.

Do you think kids today can even comprehend what was accomplished during these missions, both Mercury and Apollo?
Not in the least. These people can’t leave their house and walk down the street without a fucking mask. They can’t comprehend flying a piston aircraft let alone doing such big, ballsy things.

The OP's link is utter drivel.  Congrats.  Without the vaccine you can contract the virus and inadvertently pass it on to someone else and kill them.

I doubt anyone here expects to get Trump back in office out of this. What we must do now is fix this for the future or we are a One Party State.
Exactly.

Love that vaunted peer review process. Puts “climate change” studies in context.

Just got some news. Three relatives have died and a fourth is about to.

Male cousin in his 90s just died supposedly from covid. His wife is hospitalized and not expected to live, maybe has covid too, not sure.

Female cousin also in her 90s broke a hip and had surgery and went downhill immediately and died last night.

Another female cousin age 76 just died who was in poor health. Not sure of that was being called for covid.

All of these are in western PA.  The only one I was really close to was the one that broke her hip. She was like a second mother. :'( 

Now my own mom is the last one left of her generation.
I’m so sorry Rush.

There’s one thing that is absolutely true. If you say “white lives matter”, you are most definitely racist.  We know white lives don’t matter, because nobody riots when the police shoot an unarmed white man.
Or an unarmed white woman. Exhibit A: Ashley Babbitt

I think it tends to limit one's career choices.  Kind of a built-in caste system.
Tats used to be something you could cover up if you wanted.

Face and hand tattoos and especially those freakishly hideous gauges in the ears gets you a job at a gas station or Starbucks. That’s about it.

You all keep talking like Biden is calling the shots.  How cute.
I did?  Did you read my post?  Fogging a mirror isn’t exactly calling the shots.
