True enough. But not providing a traffic advisory to an IFR arrival -- in Bravo airspace -- is an issue. The RJ crew literally never knew what hit them.

According to the Associated Press, ATC never advised the RJ crew in the DCA midair that the Blackhawk was nearby. I wonder when it would have made a difference...

The 2025 UCAP Tiedown Party was a big success. Big thanks to everyone who came out. As always it was a great pleasure to meet and chat with all of you! #OSH25

The UCAP "Tiedown Party" will be Tuesday evening this year, at its usual location, on the grass just outside the "Friar Tucks" (formerly "Super 8") gate. 6pm to dark.

From the latest issue of "Vectors": "Even with a U.S. Senator's attn, it's hard to find any real changes in the NOTAM system, which often seems more focused on obstacle-light outages than, say, runway closures or revised instrument approach procedures."

The words "stay in your lane" have rarely had more significance then they do in this moment. If all you contribute is reciting racist and sexist comments from politicians, then you are part of the problem. Aviation safety is not a political game & treating it that way is beyond the pale. /fin

Just think: Decades of efforts to reduce air pollution have been so successful that people can see the constellation Orion so clearly they think it's a group of drones flying in close formation.

Iโ€™m not going to say Iโ€™m not rattled as fuck but Iโ€™m not going to lose my bottle about all of humanity being forsaken because 71 million out of 335 million people are apparently mad. Even if you only count voters, with turnout at 65%, just over half that is only 27 โ€ฆ
