Anyone besides me notice the Admin deleted my post on the TFRs in the northeast?

Not normally a conspiracy theorist, but when you can't even ask basic questions about airspace grabs, something is not right.

This might be a good place for a reminder. From the Rules of Conduct:

Nauga,
apolitically
 
It will if you are trying to get around NYC and you want to use the Hudson River transition. It does really matter though. Airspace grabs are not appropriate. Imagine what this map will look like in 25 years if this continues? Anyone have any additional info on this? Why? Why now?

It helps the read the TFR and not just look at the map.

No UAS operations are authorized in the areas covered by this NOTAM (except as described).

So unless you plan on flying the Hudson River transmission in a drone, it doesn't apply to you.
 
Those all popped up after the "drone scare" that started in NJ. Except for a few typos that were corrected, they are NO UAS below 400ft TFRs.

I believe they expire in a couple of weeks, and public attention is already shifting from drones to rented trucks. Who knows what we’ll be terrified of two weeks from now.....
 
Poison fog...it's already in the news. The chemtrail caper may be in jeopardy.

Linked from Drudge, of course


 
I believe the Hudson River Transmission is a device for keeping millenial pilots out of the region.

Being that automatic transmissions have been in the majority of cars sold since before most millenials were even created and Gen Xers were just starting to drive and weren’t yet buying new cars, it’s baby boomers who made that decision.
 
These TFRs are apparently part of the drone hysteria in NY and NJ. They are everywhere in NY, even in sleepy Central New York. It's now even more clutter in my weather briefings and EFB map display. Sigh.
 
Keep posting same stuff about TFR. Kettle and pot situation I am thinking.

So the elderly that don’t want to fuss with a manual transmission anymore are deciding that the young don’t want manual transmissions? Uh, no.

They were in their 30s and 40s as they shifted demand from sticks to autos. They taught their millenial kids to drive with automatics.
 
The comments here about stick shifts is very “US-centric”. Sticks are still very prevalent overseas, at all ages. In fact, go on to Enterprise, Hertz, National or whoever and try to rent one here. All you’re likely to see are sports cars of some sort, if any. But on those same websites go look at anywhere in Europe and the most affordable rentals are sticks - and there are lots of options. I’ve driven/owned a stick all of my life until the past 7 years (and only stopped because there were no hybrids). When we go overseas I often rent one - well, except in the UK; shifting with the left hand while driving on the wrong side at my age could be an issue.

BTW: a stick diesel small SUV is a nice setup and gets about 36mpg. And diesel over there is considerably less than mogas

Wasn’t our experience just Dec 2024 in Italy. Same cost for auto and widely available for rental. I suspect rental places actual prefers auto. Why risk some random person who might or might not know how to drive sticks. I have seen an entire team from my last workplace, one of the big three car manufacturer, say they can drive stick and only me and one other guy actually can. Everyone else was jerky and grindy. I actually reach over when my boss wasn’t looking and turn on the downshift rev match so I don’t feel like I was in a 500 hp rocking chair.

Things are changing everywhere. And with their more liberal views towards EVs I expect less and less manuals in the future in Europe.

Interesting. When I just went to pretend-book a rental in Milan and the first 5 options by price were sticks.

It was certainly interesting driving a rental in England... with the manual transmission. But I'm ambidextrous, so maybe it wasn't that big a deal.

When I started flying my RV-14, I was concerned that it would be hard to transition from the taildraggers with control sticks I was used to, the Cub and Champ, because of the switch in hands. I learned that I’m still a young enough dog to learn new tricks. But another pilot I knew was an old dog. He was learning to fly a Flight Design plane, coming from a Cub, and had to go around once. He did what he would have done to go around in the Cub: left hand full forward, right hand slight back pressure.

In what way is this an airspace grab?

I would ordinarily be eager to give it a shot but we’re always getting there at 10 or so in the morning jet-lagged and need to get out of Heathrow and on to the motorways right away, typically driving a few hours to the first night’s stop. I’m actually reasonably risk-averse but also need to add on my bride’s risk consideration to the equation. But if I ever go there alone…;)
