I’ve always believed engineers and pilots share the same mindset: respect for precision, structure, and things built to last. That’s probably why I’m obsessed with aircraft models and mechanical details ✈️The 1/72 B737 model is in progress, with the primer applied

I’ve met amazing people who never went to college… and people with degrees who still don’t know how to communicate 😅
But the idea is interesting: education can shape how we handle relationships.
Thoughts?

Need for connectivity tends to grow the longer the flight, weakening the case for the budget airline

That sounds like a forever-war setup. ‘Running’ another country isn’t a slogan
President Trump said he expected the U.S. to run Venezuela for years. But governing a vast territory filled with armed groups holds enormous challenges.
Why It’s Hard to Run Venezuela
Venezuela sprawls over terrain twice the size of California, with vast tracts of treacherous jungles, steep mountains and cities filled with guns.

MLK’s words deserve more than a once-a-year copy/paste. People are hurting right now
Given the open racism and rampant racial profiling by ICE, maybe this will be the first MLK Day in recent history where Republicans do *not* trot out the Only MLK Quote They Know

Less. And I’ve always been a Hilton person. I’ll be looking more for Marriotts when traveling if this isn’t rectified
“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

This thing has been way to much work for what it is. F3-P indoor . Airplane= many hours of building. I recovered the plane and took 31 grams off from the covering.
