Chicago Pilot
@pwkpilot.bsky.social
Pilot, traveler, skier, former engineer, occasional unqualified political pundit. I post lots of aviation pictures and occasional questionable commentary about politics.
Speaking of Chicagoland, any ideas why we now have a 12 day long TFR and restricted airspace over Chicago starting today? No stated rationale.

It’s sad that this is all too often true. The right really has to get back to having principles and not treating everything through a partisan lens. This didn’t used to be the case.

I guess to 50% of the country this is what a person who needs mental health help looks like, and the other 50% says “what the hell, let’s give him access to nuclear weapons…”

I would much rather be in the cockpit right now. This is the opposite of #avgeeking
At least it’s only a week until #airventure #eaa #osh2025

Not at all like fixed wing flying but definitely worth the challenge. Inching closer to soloing (again) for the first time in more than 30 years.

Glad to see Rep Bacon (R) stepping up and nudging Congress back to being an independent branch of government and not a Trump puppet. We need more of this (a lot more).

Watch the Trump coin as the tariff “negotiations” start. It’s an easy place to hide corruption if he requires foreign interests to drive up the value of his crypto as protection money for companies and countries.

This is the thing to watch now. If Trump starts using tariffs to collect protection money from foreign countries and companies, then it is likely it would be in the form of crypto purchases that drive up the value of his holdings.

Fortunately Trump is on top of his golf game so we don’t have to worry about that as markets crash.

I’ll give everyone one guess which headline is from @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social
Distracting the masses from important things with frivolous red meat is absolutely part of the role of state propaganda. Be a real patriot and turn Fox off

This should tell you everything you need to know about Elon’s intelligence and judgment when the topic isn’t rockets or electric cars.
