Yes I am terrified about flying right now. No, I do not wish to just attribute this to a "random cluster" until someone can say positively that the corporate owned airlines and Emperor Trump's FAA are not contributing to this in any way.

The Return Of #Supersonic Flights Might Actually Be Real

The private test plane is a one-third-scale presentation of the startup’s planned Overture airliner. #AmericanAirlines and #UnitedAirlines have already placed orders for the Overture, so a successful test flight next week would be a monumental step toward the return of supersonic commercial flights.

Well, did you know the real trick for a real sleep?

The body needs to be perfectly flat. I think I read some science article a few years that "proved" this

When I'm on those 15 hr flights, I take the ouch in #economyclass because I believe spending the big bucks for #businessclass is not 100% flat. Well, that's my reasoning

In #Japan they will have flat seat overnight busses‼️

The American Prospect · Donald Trump’s Second Term Begins With a CrashIf the president wanted to cause airline disasters, it’s hard to imagine what he would have done differently.

⚠️ American Airlines jet with 64 aboard collides with Army helicopter at Reagan Airport near DC

"A jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided Wednesday with an Army helicopter while landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, prompting a large search-and-rescue operation in the nearby Potomac River.
What caused the collision? That’s unclear. The Federal Aviation Administration said the midair collision occurred around 9 p.m. EST when a regional jet that had departed from Wichita, Kansas, collided with a military Blackhawk helicopter while on approach to an airport runway. The helicopter was on a training flight, an official told the Associated Press.
Are there any survivors? The precise number of victims is unclear. American Airlines says 60 passengers and 4 crew members were on the plane. Three soldiers were onboard the helicopter, an Army official said. Officials who held a press conference at the airport did not announce any deaths, but they all had a somber tone."
