Long post worth the read. I have a close friend who flies private jets. He flew Lear 60 for over 15 years and now flies a Gulfstream. This is a copy and paste of his response to me asking him if he thought Ice was the issue.
“We always fly in ridiculous cold temperatures.”
“Usually you get the bad ice when the temperatures are like 0 to negative 20. Believe it or not, there's a point where it gets too cold for ice. At negative 40, you pretty much can't get ice. Besides that, the airplane is equipped with hot wings and hot tail.”
“I flew the Lear 60 for like 15 years. It's a no joke airplane and probably the most dangerous airplane I've ever flown. It has a super critical wing. The airflow has to be perfect. When it gets into rough air and turbulence, it will easily stall. It has stalled on me at 41,000 feet just because we got into some turbulence. (On the way to Palm Beach as a matter of fact. ) we recovered and got her flying again around 30,000 ft. Scary
But here's the problem. This airplane has a terrible coffin corner. (At high altitudes) what that means is, you fly in a really narrow window where if you lose 20 knots, it stalls. And if you gain 20 knots, it goes into overspeed. The air goes supersonic over the wing and it goes into a high speed stall, or worse, a Mach tuck.
So if you stall, the normal recovery is to push the yoke forward to lower the nose and gain air speed again. At low altitude, you can push really hard and recover quickly. But in the 60... if you push hard, it will gain air speed and go into a high speed stall, it doesn't take much. It's very sensitive. The 60 has super short wings that don't make much lift. So then you high speed stall, and the computer is yelling at you... OVERSPEED! So then you pull back and enter a low speed stall. And you go back and forth trying to keep it in the air speed window.
This whole thing is pretty scary. And you should recover basically by using your finger tips using super small corrections. You can't over do it. If you try to muscle the recovery, she gets mad and will become unrecoverable. If she enters a mach tuck. You're done.”
“I taught the Lear 60 to other pilots and mentored them. I told them... this airplane has a soul and it's trying to kill you. Do not ever try to top the weather. Don't go over a thunderstorm. Go around it. If it means a half hour longer, then do it. Going over the thunderstorm will go into turbulence that you might not recover from.
These pilots went right over a thunderstorm. I think it stalled which caused them to drop down into the thunderstorm and ended up in mach tuck. They picked up so much speed that it ripped off the horizontal stabilizer. At that point... chuck Yeager can't fix it.
These same pilots did something similar a couple months ago. ATC got mad at them. They poked the bear one too many times.
This is not a beginner airplane. The Gulfstream would never do this. It has HUGE margins of error and won't stall like that. But then again... it's got HUGE wings. It's a pussy cat.
The Gulfstream is like driving a 4 wheeler. The Lear 60 is like riding a uni cycle.”

Thank you for this, @theo ! btw, would love your take.
I spent >15bn tokens building what I hope is the best benchmark for devs and open sourced it.
Need your (and the community's) help to make it better.

@theo took a crack at my first open source project and think it can play well with T3 Code for routing subagents. Discussion here: https://t.co/5TpehBp9z5
WOW 😳

The Flase Flag You Didn't Hear About
Hey @Grok
One month after 9/11, were two men with Israeli military backgrounds detained at Mexico’s Congress because authorities suspected they planned to bomb it?
Initial reports claimed they had grenades, but a further review found tubes, wires, and a lighter in a briefcase, which authorities said could be used to make a pipe bomb.
And wasn’t it reported online by a Mexican outlet that:
“We believe that the two Zionist terrorists were going to blow up the Mexican Congress. The second phase was to mobilize both the Mexican and U.S. press to blame Osama bin Laden. Most likely then Mexico would declare war on Afghanistan as well…”
Why have you never heard of this? Ask yourself.
An American woman:
“Israel tortured a 10-month-old baby for information from his father. Dead babies were found in an evacuated hospital.
Their entire society is sick. Yet they tell us to fear Iran.”
Let that sink in.
Flock is nothing compared to what’s coming next…
Bret Weinstein says the surveillance company Toka makes Flock look like "the shallow end of the frickin pool."
Toka is an Israeli company that advertises “frictionless surveillance.”
Toka’s technology can locate cameras not their own, remotely access them, and change footage, both previous and live; and they can disappear evidence that any changes have been made. What could go wrong?
Bret Weinstein explains, "I don't want to live in a world where a person can be erased and the people who did the erasing run no risk because they have a subscription to a service that allows their crime to be perfect.
That's really what this is."

@theo is it possible to load multiple subs (i.e. tied to diff emails) for each "Provider" inside the T3 app? Perhaps this is obvious to others but I've got far more vibes than code 😅 and it would be awesome to manipulate the 2 Claude and 2 codex subs I have from 1 desktop app
Trump has now restarted the most unpopular war in American history after walking away from every single original war aim last week. He conceded uranium enrichment, missiles development, their relationship with Hezbolla and the nuclear dust.
We’re now solely fighting now over the strait and Lebanon, two non issues before the war.
This thing is an indefensible disaster and all of the people who cheerlead it have been revealed for the clowns and traitors they are.
