Lol yeah well what someone decides to do with the science is a different matter entirely! But you can't deny that electricity is totally honest for example . . . if it finds a path it will faithfully follow it and if anything puts up resistance then it will just get burned ;)

Until it seems like it isn't. Hour 15 chasing down a loose ground or something similar.

American football team New England Patriots has acquired two former American Airlines Boeing 767-300ERs for travel to out-of-town games, Flight Fleets Analyzer shows.

ESPN broke the news on 8 August, reporting that the Patriots chose to acquire aircraft in response to increases in the cost of chartering aircraft.

The Patriots confirmed the acquisition to FlightGlobal, but declined to answer questions about whether the team will operate the aircraft or hire an outside provider.

The 767s are owned by a company called Team 125 Inc, operated by the New England Patriots LLC and financed by Kraft Group, a company led by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Fleets Analyzer shows.

American acquired the 767s new in 1991 and parked them in early 2016.

The aircraft have serial numbers 25193 (registration N366AA) and 25194 (registration N39367), and each had accumulated about 99,000h of flight time and about 16,000 cycles as of early 2016, Fleets Analyzer shows.

Classic.

Write off the expenses you pay to yourself for the equipment you use while collecting the revenue into a third party you own.

Tax manipulation 101.
 
"You know what I've learned over the last two decades is that the heart and soul of the strength of the NFL is a partnership of 32 teams. What's become very clear over those two decades (is) that at no time should the agenda of one team outweigh the collective good of the full 32," Patriots owner Robert Kraft claimed in a rare united socialist moment for a billionaire.

"The hated New England Patriots treat local taxpayers surprisingly well. Patriots owner Robert Kraft arranged 100 percent private funding for the construction and maintenance of Gillette Stadium, which is located outside Boston.

Gillette Stadium and MetLife Stadium (shared by the New York Jets and Giants) are the only two NFL stadiums that were built and renovated without public funds. But even here there are still hidden costs for taxpayers.

Most public stadium cost figures are underestimated since other costs, such as maintenance expenses, capital improvements, municipal services, and the abatement of local property taxes, are not taken into account. Massachusetts agreed to spend $72 million on updating the infrastructure surrounding Gillette Stadium, and property taxes are not levied on the stadium."

Interesting. Your point is ....... what?

Creating different corporations to own, finance and operate assets is standard business practice. Nothing wrong, just pointing out the funny in that article.
 
That is correct,

Despite the fact that it is today a $10Billion/Year industry, from 1942 till 2016 the National Football League (NFL) enjoyed the tax exempt status as a non-profit organization -- it did not pay federal corporate taxes. NFL teams share close to 61 percent of total revenues the league generates, which makes a great deal of business sense.
 
Yup, follow the money. I don't care about the drugs or the player off the field. Sports are a stupid, frivolous activity. Take it for what it's worth. We've been watching guys do this for years. I enjoy it at face value.

If I got three wishes, they would be different ways I can make Stephen A. Smith's life absolute crap. A bonus wish would be to get him to talk more normally and more quietly. Like why you always yelling bro?

Caveat ahead of time, I have found that while not all pilots who wear cowboy boots are weenuses. But I would say that a large amount of cowboy boot wearers tend to be somewhat lacking in people skills and very easy to set off, especially when you point out that cowboy boots look a lot like women's shoes.

I flew with a woman cowboy boot wearer at my airline. Survived. Still not as bad as the boot wearers at XOJET.

Anyone have any guess as to where they are going to park them? Bed-fahd or Bah-stun?

There was this CA at XJT in ORD year ago who wore cowboy boots. He had a different crazy and unique pair every time I saw him. When I would see him, I was like "He looks like he might be a pretty cool dude to grab a beer with" Well, he wasn't. He was a complete ahole and probably the pioneer of the slam click. Im certain anyone ORD based at XJT knows exactly who Im talking about.
 
Cowboy boots rock, most comfortable footwear outside of flip flops. But they kind of suck to fly in, most of the good ones have a steel shank, the leather soles slip and slide all over the rudder pedals and they are worse than useless on an icy, snowy, Type I covered ramp. Rubber soled Ariat ropers on the other hand, were God's gift to aviators.

A couple years ago at Oshkosh, Bud explained that he does Pitts checkouts wearing cowboy boots. He's no slacker, he has spent over 5,000 hours in the pattern giving Pitts instruction.
