About a year ago they changed NOTAMs from Notices to Airmen to Notices to Air Missions. Take a wild guess why.

And our nuclear arsenal uses systems that were used in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s with 8 inch floppy drives, drum hard drives, and the best IBM computers of the day.

Probably safer because of it.


Can't hack what's too obsolete to connect to

Being announced on the news right now: all domestic flights in the US are grounded until 9:30am (guessing that's Eastern time).

Once again some a-hole had to use his cell phone on a plane instead of switching their phone to airplane mode. Now they have taken out the entire FAA computer system because they downloaded videos from some Chinese porn site on their cell phone.

Not too sure about that, we were able to infiltrate the PLCs in an Iranian nuclear facility for years before they found out.

It is a lot easier to get someone to pick up a random thumb drive and stick it in an air-gapped system than it is to get someone to pick up a random 8" floppy and stick it into a computer.

So this intentional? Russians or Chinese or both?

Them people are obsessed with our planes.

It could be threat that made us say it’s the system so ground planes to stop threat.

The work of another "bored Russian teen"?

2023 DOT and FAA focus: Racial equity, inclusion, income inequality, environmental justice, and of course climate change

You might not be able to fly anywhere today but take comfort in knowing that plays second to more racism under the guise of affirmative action and more taxes to save the planet!
