It is not just you - I live in upstate New York and the aftermath from Irene’s floods were of biblical proportions in many communities.

Irene - ire - anger

God let satan out in the garden first - Satan is rampant now because there are so few who believe.

We must stop the abortion holocaust - that is a first step.

Almost any weekend in America there is an airshow.
From small to vast military bases.
Get educated before callling things wastes of money and comparisons that favor trivialzing great things of this nation.

They are a waste of money. And you are the one that needs a little education. We, the world, are in the last few years of needing a pilot, the commercial industry would switch over to computers today if they thought they could get people to accept it. Kids born today will, they will have grown up with a computer in their hands. And yes, there has been studies made about the subject.

There will always be pilots because when SHTF you need human beings in the loop. Computers are great, when everything happens as expected.

It’s clear you’ve never spent any time in a cockpit.
I have.

Wrong, you need a computer controller repair man. But then maybe they have an etty bitty guy hid somewhere in those predator drones. But he is damn small. ROFLOL. And when things go wrong, well they crash just like always.
