I’ve long thought lay down options in a slower aircraft would be the best option. You get proper sleep (lay down + longer duration). The challenge would be finding a commercially viable aircraft that benefits from the slower speed efficiency but has the range for this niche use case.

What began as an AFWERX TACFI initiative is now a 4-year OTA for Beacon AI with @USSOCOM. 🔗 https://t.co/PveUCKUg7O

@DanielLurie has done a lot to improve SF, it was great to meet him. Glad he is our mayor.

He kindly also did not kick the seat in front of him (mine) all flight 🛫

@PenguinSix @BrandtAnderson and I were wondering why the Aussie flag was up outside EEOB yesterday 😅

My first time visiting the White House complex to share the awesome work the team is building at @beacon_a_i

@Willob Epic! Congrats!!

Big milestone: @beacon_a_i has signed a 4-year Phase 3 Prototype OTA with USSOCOM worth up to $49.5M.

We build AI systems that help pilots avoid unsafe actions, manage complexity, and perform at a higher level in aviation's most demanding environments.

Proud of the team. More to come!

The details coming out on the WSO rescue are pretty amazing 🇺🇸

Just goes to show you how hard the U.S. will work to retrieve someone behind enemy lines

Awesome to hear he’s been rescued

Given the evasion, the two blown C-130s, and the total amount of personnel involved, there are some wild stories yet to fully come out

What a legend!

@TurnerNovak Practice?

[Matt Cox @matt_bc]

Camera off briefings feel like you are briefing a wall.

I don't understand how this has become so normal in 2026...

[Matt Cox @matt_bc]

@Osinttechnical This tail damage makes an air to air refueling impact unlikely

Tragic loss of the crew 🇺🇸

@jisatu01 Unbelievably bad AI slop 😂

Hand on the “towel rack” to avoid over controlling at a time when it isn’t needed (trimmed already). It’s been a long time since I went through flight school but I believe the main initial cause for this change was a prior jet that was easy or prone to over control and this was the simple solution.

[Matt Cox @matt_bc]

@VikingSeaDub @SGTWipper1Each The jet is trimmed on deck to a pitch setting that establishes a climb attitude for the given weight
