United flight 169:
3 red you’re almost dead
This pilot needs some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that’s more physically painful than mentally painful. Bet he’s not as strong as Craig’s Bond.
@MeNMyRC1@RealAirPower1 Holey cow! 
In January 1968, a Sikorsky CH-53A Sea Stallion helicopter successfully towed the 17,000-ton amphibious transport dock USS Austin (LPD-4) in Long Island Sound.
@PebMet1@SpaceX There are numerous reasons! 1) We’re used to other companies launching real missions too early and killing their payloads. 2) By rapidly iterating before launching other’s payloads, SpaceX is advancing the state of the art faster than if they had to worry about failing.
@RealAirPower1@MeNMyRC1 B) My mentor (a nuclear warhead designer and crazy engineer) found a 53 or 47 crew willing to test his helicopter land mine sweeper system. When the general officers found out the crew was threatened with court marshal. Towing that ship would have them going further.
@cdrsalamander@joinautopilot I have knowledge of why that’s the case. One time at work, many years ago, I overheard a co-worker bragging that Cramer read the bullet points he gave Cramer—verbatim on the air.
@BuzzPatterson Great story! I remember the WH staffer story you posted before. They go really well together, and next time you should post them together.
@johnkonrad John, I’ve read your entire🧵& a bunch of replies. I have limited experience with the exact things you describe, but what you describe is a pattern of behavior I see in pockets of multiple cultures & it has deeply harmed me in several well-known orgs. I 100% support your message.
Turns out phones are the dicks here. Casio released the model 14-A in 1957 with the 1 at the bottom. Then in 1963 the TruTone push button phone was released with the 1 at the top. They could’ve stopped all this 60yrs ago. Dicks.
@adamludwick1@rbernier22@MCCCANM I was looking to see if anyone had posted that snarky comment yet. You did it better than I was going to do! Still wish it was –42
