L.A. ICE raids/response: Whatever happened to talk of the "jack-booted thugs" forcefully taking our guns during the Obama admin? D'ya remember those days of heightened awareness for government over-reach and violation of our constitutional rights, back before America started getting great again?

As the fake national crisis in LA was fanned by the emerging police state last week, I entertained a childhood friend who, once we had a short break in the weather around Anchorage, accompanied me on a flight to the Knik river, where I maneuvered & camera-coached for this soon-to-be framed-print:

A Super-sucker: our dear Donald who is in thrall to Putin & other autocrats, eager receive at tax-payer expense a white-elephant gift-whale from Qatar (there’s no such thing as a “free 747”). Donald’s followers are sub-suckers. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yesterday passing 17,000 feet above the summit of North America’s highest point, Denali (no, Donald, it’s still Denali), shortly before commencing descent into Anchorage from Utqiagvik/Barrow. #denali #alaska #aerial #landscape
There is some post-processing to counteract the harsh lighting.

Eastbound about mid-way to Anchorage around 01:45 this morning after delivering ~15T of cargo at Bethel, #Alaska, the #auroraborealis was especially active in the light of a nearly full moon. iPhone15, raw, 3-sec exposure computational photo mode & post-processing.

Monday, 3/10, passing the 20,320' #Denali summit at 32,000', an hour later crossing the #BrooksRange for Utqiagvik/Barrow with a load of crated refurbished rotor blades for the Arctic Borough's search & rescue helicopter, atop a shipment of heavy timbers, followed by the usual stuff of air cargo.

12/29/2024 mid-day #AlaskaRange pano, #Denali uber alles through the windshield climbing northbound for BRW. It shall never again be known as "Mt. McKinley" regardless of official grim-buffoonery. As with all of my photography posted here, it's best seen on a proper monitor at my website.

Mid-February ~34,000' above the northern slope of the #BrooksRange, a display of late-winter's afternoon arctic #shadowplay; nearing the end of our 34,000' cruise segment, carrying ~15 tons of cargo from Anchorage to Utqiagvik/Barrow.

Sliding past the #Denali summit, 14,000 feet below, shortly upon attaining cruise altitude en route from Anchorage to Utqiagvik/Barrow carrying 15 tons of cargo and nearly as much in fuel last week.

In the shadow of #Denali– the #MuldrowGlacier wends and grinds its inexorable path upon the northern face of the #AlaskaRange, as seen last week through a cockpit side-window from 34,000 feet. The season of light quickens upon the northern land.

The approaching vernal equinox in Alaska is coming upon the country; through 737's cockpit side-window, lightplay upon the Brooks Range, from 34,000 feet en route to Utqiagvik/Barrow, a week ago. More to come; this and several others now in my website's Recent Additions gallery.

Re 2/18 show NDE flight story:
Your captain was explaining how she activated the runway lights by keying (“clicking” typ. 7x) the airplane’s VHF transmitter on the designated com frequency. Virtually all airports with lighting have PCL (pilot controlled lighting).

We now have confirmation that AK Sen Sullivan (Col. USMC ret) is nothing more than a typical partisan hack of the R/MAGA variety who, unlike MAGAstooges of the Markwayne Mullen variety, really, truly does KNOW BETTER than to make PHegseth SecDef.= loyalty to MAGA/DT, not constitution/USA.Disgusting.

I depart Hobart for SYD shortly, commencing transition back to the stoopidest nation on Earth, a nation now with a former FNC second-tier host as SecDef, and now KNoem as HS director. But, wait, it’ll get stoopider and stoopider. (I use “stoopid” instead of “stupid” because it’s meta-inane.)

And so, here’s my email letter to R-Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, he who should know better, on the SecDef hearings for the empty vessel of reactionary christofascist theocratic dysfunction, Pete Hegseth.

I’ve been procrastinating on writing to my Senator, Dan Sullivan R-Alaska about the Secretary of Defense nominating hearings. After all, he knows better than to approve a character such as Hegseth for the position. But at long last I did minutes ago whilst sitting with a sandwich and latte in TAS.
