“Federal, state and local authorities launched a manhunt for the pilot, who was identified by the FBI as Yavuz Burke, 31, a native of Turkey who became a Canadian citizen last year. He was formerly known as Adam Leon, though officials did not indicate a reason for the name change.”

FYI (these officials must have never heard of TROP)

You’re still far too new to understand who is sarcastic, without the usual “/s” and who is not.

Is Dale Reed too new also? He's been here longer than you have and you misunderstood his reply too. Maybe it's something within you?

CTV.ca News Staff

SNIPPET: “The pilot took a single-engine Cessna 172 from a Thunder Bay aviation school and soon crossed into U.S. airspace. Authorities scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to track the aircraft as it made its way over Wisconsin and Illinois.

Nearly eight hours later, at about 10 p.m. ET, the pilot landed on a dirt road in the southern Missouri town of Ellsinore...”

SNIPPET: “Officials with the Federal Bureau of Investigation then arrested 31-year-old suspect Yavuz Burke, a native of Turkey who became a Canadian citizen last year. He was formerly known as Adam Leon.”

How are things going back there, the economy is really falling here.

I’m just about ready to offer $75k cash to a bank for a condo rhat sold for $315 yast year.

rentals are still $1,250/mo so it would be a pretty good income inveatmrnt.

Stores are closing everywhere, Sheryle sees lots of vacancies in all the malls and strip malls that she has been doing inventory in.

I think we are in for a big crash in commercial real estate and the ARMS that are yet to come due later this year and next.

And yet you don't get sarcasm even when it comes from someone who has been here longer than you. That's the problem with pulling the old senority bit, unless you are J.R., there is always someone who has been here longer than you.

It’s bad here too, lots of layoffs here in Caterpillar country. So far it hasn’t directly affected me, I’m somewhat insulated because I’m like the boy scouts “be prepared”.

Just a little test to see if we are awake. I expect with Obama as CIC there will be lots of these types of things happening. Seemingly small incidents that are really benchmarks to the Muslims. It will be a summer of flies bitting the horse, until they make the horse (Obama) give up,scared and run away.

It takes more than a couple of months for people to figure out if a poster is being sarcastic, without FR's usual "/s" at the end of a post.

I am far from the only person here, to take the post at face value and respond accordingly. Check it out!

Nice to see you too.
