I asked Grok about the probability of having another Black Swan event prior to my own flight from Denpasar to Sydney. On the 15th anniversary of my incident flight. I thought the odds looked pretty good! Those poor guys on UPS 2976 😞 probably a similar failure mode! #ups2976

@BowesChay 😂 so funny

When I signed up for the Beta test of @Starlink all those years ago I never thought I would be part of something this big! Only one outage I know of in all that time, a 50000’ thunderstorm parked over my house giving my little dish a challenge. It only lasted 10 mins 😛😎

@SkyNewsAust Probably not, because no one gives a shit about COVID-19, that ship sunk years ago. Try writing a story about Government overreach, I might click that link! 😂

@newscomauHQ You idiots, worst headline to date. And you wonder why we read X!

@MessiEra10_ @elonmusk Maths is obviously not your thing, luckily for some people it is, and they create employment opportunities for people like you.

@DrChrisCombs Don’t worry about the winglet , he scarped the threshold markers!

@RAZBAM @YouTube Looking good Ron 🤘

@GladysB Time for a new strategy, lockdowns are so 2020! Maybe focus on a quicker vaccination strategy that is less like a surgical procedure and more like a vaccination?

[Matt Hicks @PointyendBoy]

@ScottMorrisonMP Scott, what’s your exit strategy for the county? Can you articulate it? For the sake of this country take charge, get the vaccinations done and stop watching the polls!

[Matt Hicks @PointyendBoy]

@LucyTreloar @ScottMorrisonMP Another successful diagnosis.

[Matt Hicks @PointyendBoy]

@Rannonj @NSWHealth No, but data indicates it is partially effective in preventing transmission. Supply isn’t really the issue it’s lack of customers and a flawed vaccination rollout. So, get vaccinated.

[Matt Hicks @PointyendBoy]

@AnnastaciaMP well how’s that border going for you? You have more cases than NSW, yet you chose to destroy your economy in the vain hope you will be seen as a leader. Sadly none of you B grade politicians are. #roguestates

[Matt Hicks @PointyendBoy]

@ScottMorrisonMP well it’s official, you’ve let the premiers destroy the aviation industry. It’s national essential infrastructure! Get a hold of the #roguestates and bring some sense to the border closures.

[Matt Hicks @PointyendBoy]

@ScottMorrisonMP when are you going to put an end to the #roguestates ? Border closures are destroying the economy.

[Matt Hicks @PointyendBoy]

@ScottMorrisonMP come on Scott your Government had a great plan going into this COVID mess. It was sound and well reasoned. As an airline pilot and manager I’m watching the States destroy our industry and the related businesses that rely on aviation. It’s time to take control.

@SETIInstitute @NASAVoyager @NASA @kevinmgill @NASAJPL Totally awesome 😎

#UkrainianAirlines #PS752 this photo seems to show fragmentation penetrations on the fuselage, turbine blades or warhead fragments? Blade damage should normally be perpendicular to the fuselage these look square on almost.

[Matt Hicks @PointyendBoy]

@CryptoKricket The climb profile is due to the terrain around the airport. It’s normal. The rest is not!
