We're actually down to 88.5% white... we've got work to do under Trump.It ain't perfect, but it's as good as it gets in this country. And it's not Massholechusetts.
It IS 97% white though. I guess we have to work on the fatal problem of no diversity.
Oh shit, I almost kept a straight face as I typed that.
There's been a mid-air collisqon at Ronald Reagan Airport:
What the hell? How does a helicopter wind up not just in the close airspace, but in the damn approach?
Well, I wouldn't go that far ... but even if there were an overstressed controller those wide-body landing lights are pretty damn hard to miss. Plus, a mere week after inauguration, I would assume the air space is under even tighter control than normal.If you read the comments on the youtube channel I just posted above, you'll see that you're not the only person with questions about that. In fact, the "conspiracy theories" have already started to be voiced (i.e. helicopter did it on purpose).

So pilot, copilot, crew chief ... Wonder why they were there in the first place. Training? Why not do it at Andrews where they have complete control over the air space and no civilian traffic? Or one of the NAS installations? Or even a quick jump up or down the coast to another military installation?Just heard report claiming there were 3 soldiers on the helicopter (Both numbers I've posted so far are unofficial).
