Let’s be clear. @JDVance was in charge of Iranian negotiations. Not Trump. Now, he’s throwing shade. Trump shouldda blasted them from the get go.

I’m making chocolate. At a chocolate factory. This is a first. 😂

We train for this. Every day. Well done.

[Aviation Reporter @TripppleSeven7]

Look at the right engine on this takeoff. It fails seconds after liftoff and dumps a huge trail of black smoke behind the jet, and the plane just keeps pushing upward like nothing is wrong. Whoever was flying must have had a very long day. Wild footage✈️

Where am I landing!?

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

I don’t know who needs to tell this dude…but he‘s not getting that door open at 320. 🤣🤣🤣

[EAGLE LEAK @EAGLELEAK1]

🚨✈️ WHOAAAA!! A passenger tried to open the emergency exit at 32,000 feet. One Jiu-Jitsu instructor stood up, shut it down, and held him there until the plane safely landed in Miami.

Absolute skill and composure when it mattered most. 🙏🏾

Damn! The Boss ain’t playing! Stephen Miller and Dana White?!

Yes sir! Give them hell! Defend the Republic!

@MickeyWilliford Thanks, Mickey!

This is what I believe happened to the Lear 60 in Florida. They got into the “coffin corner.” It’s thin up there.

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

Heard this term “coffin corner” from pilots as a possible contributing factor to the Learjet 60 crash.

This is the best explanation of what it is and why descending rather than climbing is the way out.

The coffin corner is a dangerous band high up in the sky where a plane’s “too slow” limit and “too fast” limit get so close together that the safe window narrows to almost nothing.

If anything pushes the plane a little too slow or a little too fast (a bit of turbulence, a turn, or even trying to climb), it can easily slip outside that tiny safe band and fall out of the sky.

That’s why it’s called the coffin corner - there’s almost no room for error, and losing control up there is extremely dangerous.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

@flyawayzephyr60 I agree with all of that!

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

@Working_Mad_Dog Over speed.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

@DaveSr59 @F111Driver I was there!

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

Flying in Red Flag. 1985.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

@JimJimy1060 No. I rode with the president.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

It’s the coolest experience ever. I have several. Nothing like it! Every American should get the opportunity! ❤️🇺🇸🔥

I had no idea the new Marine One is massive until I saw it in person. It’s like a flying bus !

This upcoming Veterans Day weekend, as we honor all those who have served and who have fallen.

When I think about what this day means to me, I’m thinking about the unbreakable bond that defines military service. In the cockpit, on the flight line, in the foxhole, or aboard the carrier — you don’t just serve alongside people. You become family with people. My 20 years were simply the most rewarding, growing, maturing experience of my life.

I’m particularly remembering, among the too many to name, my father, Major General Robert B, Patterson (USAF); and my close brothers like First Lieutenant Mike Hodge (USAF) and Captain Tim Shafer (USAF).
Mike and Tim were pilot buddies of mine. One on the East Coast and one on the West. We shared apartments, laughs, birthdays, families, missions, and the weight of the uniform.

When the engines spool up and the mission is real, that brotherhood is what carries you. You trust them with your life because they’ve already proven they’d give theirs for you.

That bond doesn’t end when the uniform comes off or when one of us makes the ultimate sacrifice. It lives on in the stories we tell, the flags we place, and the promise we keep to never forget. Never, ever forget.

This is what JD should’ve said! This is how you do it.

[Kosher @koshercockney]

Wow. THIS is how you defend your President.

As a non-American. I am extremely jealous you guys have Marco Rubio.

He always stays loyal to his country as well as his leader.

Would you vote for him to be President?

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

@SpursFan2929 I was the military aide to the president. I carried the football. I rode on Marine One with Clinton.

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

@TheRealKurtA You should hear it overseas! 🤣🤣🤣

[Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson]

This is what it sounds like. We‘re busy.

Guess what I’m watching?

The best airport live stream from Chicago Flights.

No DJ’s on this feed, just pure engine noises and ATC.

Check them out and GO BEARS! 🐻

This used to drive me crazy. Animals.

[Plane Driver Plane Talker @stopclimbFL200]

A new trend for retarded fliers.

Some passengers think is is acceptable to do this to an aircraft.

I cannot begin to think how thick they must be. But rest assured. Do it under my command, you are getting arrested and I will personally follow it up to ensure you are charged.
