"Your airplane," the bush pilot said — and suddenly I was circling Mt. McKinley, grinning like a kid.

That's aviation: a wild, wonderful ride. After 40+ years practicing the law of it, I'm partially turning in my wings.

A few stories I'll never forget:

Air crash between an American Airlines regional jet and Army helicopter near Washington marked the deadliest aviation disaster in the U.S. in 23 years, prompting officials to flag industry issues https://t.co/u8Ac8AHos7 via @WSJ

5th Circ. Pause Spells Doom For DOT Airline Fees Rule https://t.co/XDO86WNQVg Why do governments think they know better how a business should treat its customers, and try to adopt uniform rules to interfere in private transactions by imposing service or fee standards?

@ReutersMontreal Interesting development, Allison, as you're right that other union contracts, esp airlines, like UA, up 40% over 4 years. But aren't they worried more 220 assembly will go to Mobile, AL?

@NTSB_Newsroom Good on the NTSB for issuing a statement going after the "Dawn Project," which used the NTSB seal and bashed Tesla in a Super Bowl ad.

Flying in America has never been safer. Really. https://t.co/nIUyobZbHQ via @WSJ

Transportation Department fines Southwest $140 million for Christmas meltdown https://t.co/ds6ASjIY3F Deterrence or unneeded punishment? Airlines have every incentive to treat their passengers well and avoid delays.

[Dan Abrams Live @danabramslive]

The FAA has referred 22 incidents of unruly and dangerous behavior on airplanes to the FBI for potential prosecution! The incidents ranging from sexual assault to terror threats…what is happening on our airplanes?? @kquinn714 Joins Dan.

[Kenneth Quinn @kquinn714]

Good on @airindia for bringing ferry flight to Russia with needed supplies/amenities, transporting all safely to SFO, communicating, offering flight vouchers. It does raise the safety and security aspects of flying through Russian airspace, but airline handled it very well.

@TigerWoods @TheMasters God bless you, Tiger, and heal well.

At least Secretary saying “we own it” for ground stop due to NOTAM system outage. But beware of living in glass houses while threatening stones of enforcement against airlines for delays and cancellations. https://t.co/9d2zgWrgb5

Southwest Airlines returns to normal operations as investigations loom https://t.co/VQyIgUZf8J

@davidshepardson @ReutersMontreal Interesting article and unprecedented rebuke. In addition to violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and attempted confiscation and dual registration of aircraft, ICAO Council no doubt remembered Russian complicity and failure to cooperate with JIT on 2014 BUK shoot-down of MH17.

Painful lesson about the importance of accurate statements to the public and investors in the wake of a crash. Boeing to pay $200mn penalty over misleading investors about 737 Max https://t.co/GiFCeKbLxr

Having been involved in its earliest days, very sad to see Kitty Hawk, the electric aircraft moonshot backed by Larry Page, shutting down. Sebastian Thrun remains a brilliant AI innovator. Best wishes on their next adventure. https://t.co/kNLAmrGEdz via @techcrunch

@flyarcher Very impressive.

[Kenneth Quinn @kquinn714]

@joncoopertweets Sorry, but it is an equal branch of government with idiots threatening the person security of the Justices. Stroll down Pennsylvania Ave to see how Congress and the WH are protected.

Very pleased and proud of our Global Drones Group, led by my distinguished partner in Melbourne, Maurice Thompson. If you're in this space, and thinking about the challenges and opportunities in gaining certification, managing risk, or shaping the future…https://t.co/7dJKJz7QoG

With AI use-cases in aviation going from yield management to increasingly critical safety and security systems, join us to discuss how to harness technology while managing risks. With over 70% of commercial airline accidents attributable to human error,…https://t.co/BRuvZA9cqW
