“Airport is closed. Moose out front should’ve told you.”

 

[DropTank]

On which one? The FAA or the Pentagon?

Siding with the FAA on this one. Feels like they are covering their ass

Given what happened at DCA last year I’m guessing the FAA appetite for the military “doing what it wants” near civilian air traffic is really really low.

Seems like mil and civ controllers and liaison are minimal. Hadnt thought of it before but in the UK both are embedded in our enroute centers. Someone has to have primacy.

Or the FAA guys got super high, someone posted an ELP airspace closure because they saw "Kelp", giggled uncontrollably, and thought it would be hilarious.

Hawaiian shirt Tuesday ain't getting canceled!

for the record that movie is a comedic masterpiece

AND the first 15 minutes deserves to be enshrined into the Library of Congress

I agree. Right meow.

Honestly the only part I remember after the first 15 minutes is mustache rides. But that first 15 minutes…. Genius

Maybe Pete Hegseth got drunk again and made that decision.

Wait, who am I kidding, of course Pete is drunk, but did he make that decision? Pardon my assumption of his sobriety.

White House-friendly CBS News even admitted: Airspace closure followed spat over drone-related tests and party balloon shoot-down, sources say


(I know it didn't happen this way but...)

"Happy birthday Brooke-Lynne! I brought you some beautiful birthday balloons! It's a Minon! Your favorite!"

Hegseth be like, "*burp* pew pew that giant floating cartel Minion with a, with a Jim Beam, I mean laser beam... DO WHAT I SAY THIS IS THE DEPARTMENT OF WAARRRRRRRR!"

Moments later: "Daddy, you suck"

Back at the Department of WARRRRR: "We've got a minion down, sir. You're brilliant and so smart. But you should eat something before driving home"

I saw a brief clip of him at Electric Boat the other day and yeah guy was drunk there too.

Oh. Also.

The story of El Paso is the story of why politicians should trust experts. We have an incredibly good aviation safety record in this country because of a deeply rooted culture that says: this isn’t a game. If you (roided up DoD warboy) want to play around with your new toy, in civilian airspace...

NOTAM releases have nothing to do with controllers. This is well above the pay grade of any line controller, civilian or military.

The point is that mil enroute controllers are there to coordinate activity but the NAA owns the airspace. And the NOTAMS

Dude, it's El Paso...a quinceañera let the party balloons go and Secretary of WAR Kegsbreath couldn't allow a brown 15 year old girl to interfere with national defense.

I like the idea that 99 Luftballoons is having a 2026 moment. I always preferred the German version. I have always been in love with Nena. She has aged like fine wine as well. With your approval I would like to add her to the "Doug and Jim list of definitive hotties" along with others such as Carly Simon, etc.

Good grief, I didn’t even think of that angle. If Kegger was around during the cold war, it’d probably be a “little” radioactive around The Ponderosa.

“Launch an ICBM and lob an unarmed MIRV over Moscow to show the Soviets WE MEAN BUSINESS!!”

“Sir? Sir…”

I mean we have military liaison as well. This seems like it bypassed all that. Nothing here was done appropriately.

My daughter and sister both texted me asking why the airspace was closed. Because I have flown Wacos so I am obviously privy to national airspace closures. So I texted them that it was because of a big shootout at Rosa's Cantina. A handsome cowboy got shot and the suspect was fleeing toward New Mexico on a stolen horse.

They each got it and replied with disparaging texts about that hussy Felina.

Yay or nay on Nena? I feel like leaving her out is kinda like the Hall of Fame snubbing Belichek.

This is 72-year-old Belichek at the Super Bowl with his 24-year-old girlfriend. She is wearing a t-shirt with the logo of the Florida “Orchids of Asia Day Spa” massage parlor where Patriots owner Robert Kraft was arrested for solicitation.

I feel uncomfortable acknowledging it, but Belichek doesn’t need any sympathy.
