    Comet from the flight levels

    Acts 2:19: I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. Sounds like the next president will be be interesting. No matter who wins half the country will think that!

    Bed bugs on American airlines

    Time for some biting satire. At least he couldn't say it was a lousy flight.

    What would happen if lightning hit one of our planes while flying?

    I was teaching at the Marine Biological Lab at Woods Hole, MA. During a coffee break, lightning struck the building across from us. It wasn't just one strike- we all jumped and the subsequent strokes were like a strobe light- I saw someone's coffee suspended in a ball shape above their cup.

    FEMA blocked Starlink delivery flight to Western NC

    Generators, I suppose they can also run off batteries for a while. In any case, even a Fox News person claims that they have about 3/4 of the power restored and most of the cell coverage restored.

    Electric charger station for aircraft at KVBT

    Plane loaded with drugs makes emergency landing on Southern California highway

    I was pulled over in NE once for 1 (!) over the speed limit on I-80. The officer came on the passenger side. When I rolled the window down, he stuck his head inside (looked like he was going to crawl through the window) and looked over the back of the car (empty). Makes me wonder how they define...
