@jamesabeckett @sandeepchauhaan I understand you not blaming ghee but what replaced it, no?

@StanfieldBrent1 @YinKysmileS I was a big fan of the ESV until l paid attention to the translation committee

@Whitehorse1255 @YinKysmileS John Calvin was a lawyer!

@iamrjknight Also, they are not “confusing the kingdom of Christ with the kingdom of men”. Their stated aim is to merge the two because ‘that’s how it should be’.

@mogotsi_b @M_Atom_E He certainly needs to visit his tailor mara!😂

@MrsBu_ Are your kids toddlers? That would be understandable. Do they need you around to stay on the right side of the law? That too would be understandable. Other than that, what’s the negative for SA here?

NEWSMAX: Maria is out of a job. What did you do with her text message? You forwarded it up the chain. Who did you show it to?

PETER NAVARRO: Heh heh. I'm not getting into the details. Suffice it to say Suzanne Scott got a call and basically the White House let her know that kind of thing was totally unacceptable That place is out of control.

@ScottRoberts One is ‘unfair’. Will give you 2 : thoughts for young men by JC Ryle was very formative in my teen years. It still rings in my ears. The Knowing God by JI Parker.

@YinKysmileS Ola, are you new to the strange world of American Christian Twitter? Don’t be too invested here. Take care of yourself.

@mukomajai @IanECox Corrected in the office? Tell me you dont understand geopolitics

[Hans @knowingRM]

@IanECox What is it costing who? That was just a verbal resolution.

@megbasham @ThomasCee Jonathan Edwards the slave master? No surprise there.

@gregbagwell Greg, what are the odds that BOTH pilots, in two planes, would fly lower than they were meant to be? Possible that one would have made a mistake or gone rogue, but both?

This piece is from Fly Africa run by Aviator extra ordinnaire, Duncan Gillespie.

A brilliant, if I (being Duncan Gillespie)
may, claim, collected and extremely well written perspective on the current aviation hot potato, by well known aviation persona Franz Smit -

“The 30-Second Razor’s Edge: What the Airlink Stadium Flypast Taught Us About Precision, Pressure, and the "Luck Bucket

​If you were tuned into the rugby last night, you felt it before you saw it. Two polished Airlink regional jets sweeping low over the stadium, framed by a iconic backdrop, cutting through the roaring atmosphere of a nation united by sport.

​For the crowd, it was a heart-stopping showcase of South African pride. For aviation nuts, it was a 30-second clinic in ultra-precise, high-stakes formation flying that we’ll be replaying, analyzing, and frame-stepping through at least a hundred times this week.

​It’s already splitting the room: half the internet is screaming about safety margins, while the other half is celebrating an unforgettable display of airmanship.

But beneath the online noise lies a deeper, far more fascinating story about human performance, team currency, and how world-class experience is forged under immense pressure.

​The Math of the Cockpit: Luck Buckets vs. Experience Buckets

​There is a legendary rule in aviation: You start your career with a full bucket of luck and an empty bucket of experience. The trick is to fill the experience bucket before the luck bucket runs dry.

​During a low-level, two-ship stadium flypast in multi-ton commercial airliners, the margin for error isn't measured in feet; it’s measured in split-seconds and micro-corrections.

Yesterday, as that trailing deck dipped exceptionally low over the stadium rim, did the crew dip a tiny spoon into their luck bucket? Perhaps. High-visibility display flying at that level inherently lives on a razor's edge.

​But what the critics miss is the massive weight of the experience bucket sitting in those cockpits.

​Consider the sheer rarity of this operational profile. How many pilots in South Africa (or globally, for that matter) have real-world experience conducting low-level, two-ship formation flypasts in modern transport-category aircraft? Maybe 10 teams total.

​With three senior captains stacked in each machine, and this marking their second major stadium flypast in a fortnight (amid a dense run of four consecutive weekend displays), these crews didn't just walk into the cockpit with decades of cumulative airline command time. They brought something far rarer: peak operational currency in display formation.

​Right now, those six aviators represent the most current, hyper-focused, and highly trained heavy-formation team in the country.

Yesterday's display didn't just draw on experience - it built a brand-new benchmark for it.

​The 82nd-Minute Try: Calculating the Margin

​To put last night’s ultra-low pass into perspective, you have to look at it through the lens of Springbok rugby.

​Imagine Siya Kolisi fumbling a high ball over the try line in the 82nd minute, trailing by four points, only to catch it with the tip of his pinky finger and dot it down in the corner for the win.

​To the untrained eye in the stands, it looks like a heart-attack moment of pure, terrifying gamble. To the elite athlete on the pitch, it is a split-second, instinctual recovery executed at 100% heartbeat under maximum pressure - the result of thousands of hours of muscle memory, spatial awareness, and refusal to yield.

​That was the cockpit dynamic for those 30 crucial seconds.

From final lineup, to the run-in over the stadium bowl, to the precise energy management required for the climbout, the pressure in that lead cockpit was absolute. The stakes - representing their airline, the country, and the safety of the display - could not have been higher.

@skalabrak @FranceRugby @Springboks @AllBlacks @skalabrak Congrats for making the list!!! How you got better in chaos! 😂Watched this with lots of laughter!

[Hans @knowingRM]

@_EmeJoseoj @CKyobutungi @Rixpoet Precisely my point, though not in the same jungle for everyone. Which people group anywhere did anything different other than submit to nature, environment and their superstitions/myths?

[Hans @knowingRM]

@CKyobutungi No. Wrong premise.

[Hans @knowingRM]

@_EmeJoseoj @CKyobutungi @Rixpoet 😂😂 and this generic African man, when strark cultural differences exist (ed) even between tribes living across a river from each other, is a good example of colonial minded laziness.

[Hans @knowingRM]

@VusiThembekwayo Good point! The baseline is agric/food sufficiency. A people that can’t feed themselves can’t build themselves. “Grow what you eat and eat what you grow”, so goes one adage.
