If you're flying tonight, may the odds be ever in your favor. This (in my nonprofessional opinion) looks like a system that is just about to implode completely. 10/31/25 2236UTC #aviation #FAA

"Faced with its first major airline disaster since 2009, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was leaderless, thanks in part to Elon Musk. Musk accused former FAA Chief Michael Whitaker, who was confirmed unanimously by the Senate in 2023 for a five-year term, of harassment and demanded his removal."

A quiet supersonic aircraft is a great innovation, but very few people NEED to be somewhere that quick and the ones who think they do already have their own jets.
An #Amazon cargo plane barreled off a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, killing at least 5 people as it struck vehicles & burst into flames, authorities said.
The aircraft overran the runway around 2PM after arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico. 5 people were killed, 3 critically injured & 2 others hospitalized with less severe injuries, Miami-Dade County officials told a news conference.
