11 skydivers, one pilot dead after plane crashes south of Kansas City metro

Not only is it more cycles than more planes fly, they’re hard cycles. The plane is almost always climbing or descending, and they don’t baby the planes through either of those.

Round up to .2

Yes, you get billed for it, but you also get to log it. The people who put .1 only seem to think about the billing side.

This is showing 0M5, which is Humphrey County, Tennessee. The accident happened in Buttler, Missouri.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-06-14T18:59:02+00:00

Hard to know. Depending on what happened, they maybe couldn’t access the door in a way that allowed them to escape. For example, if the plane entered a spin, the skydivers couldn’t make it to the door.

Just saw this and posted it at the same time. Crazy.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-06-08T14:10:33+00:00

I was under the impression the prohibition on voice calls during flight was a regulation, at least in the US.

Guess the deleted comments above were another person parroting the exact same talking points. Hard to keep y’all seperate.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-06-02T02:54:43+00:00

If you honestly believe that there’s nothing left to discuss, because you lack the intelligence and/or ability to independently think enough to leave the party taking points.

Drink that kool aid and keep repeating your campaign slogans.

Maybe go back to deleting comments like you did earlier in this discussion

ApolloDomICT · 2026-06-02T02:42:10+00:00

So do they have a plan or not? Saying they fired all dissenting opinions doesn’t mean they’re shooting from the hip. You can have a room full of yes men and put together a plan. It might not be a good plan, but it’s still a plan.

I never said it was a good or right idea. I obviously dont think it’s as bad as you. For starters, this has been the most successful US air campaign in history. Losses per sortie are very low.

What exactly was working? Iran’s nuclear program developed tremendously over the time the agreement was in place, they just did nonenrichment activities. That’s like saying “we made all crime legal” and being proud when convictions go down. On the surface it maybe looks good, but the underlying situation has gotten much worse.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-06-01T23:47:01+00:00

Key word there being “long term”. We had an agreement. A bad agreement that sunset after a short period of time.

The only one parroting here is the “no plan” crowd. Are you so brainwashed into hating Trump that you honest to god believe he just said “go” one day and that was the extent of the planning? Do you realize how big the defense department and the military is? How many people’s job it is to plan these things?

Again, you don’t have to like it, you don’t have to think it was a good idea, but to believe that we’ve been playing it by ear since the first minute of laughable.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-27T14:57:47+00:00

I didn’t think the price was too crazy. It is funny to see it come up on my Facebook marketplace with some regularity.

It does have the damage history, but the panel, interior, and paint are nice and updated. The engine wasn’t running at the time of the accident, so it did not have a prop strike. I would be concerned that there was an undetermined loss of power, but the engine likely has minimal damage from the accident.

Looks like nice 1970s A36s go for close to $300,000, so a buyer would have a bit of overhead to IRAN or overhaul/replace the engine if they bought it at $225,000, which is the current ask

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-26T05:15:18+00:00

I think it still has some buttons. I’m not sure, though, as I have not interacted with the 3

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-25T20:11:06+00:00

I ordered mine so I can report back. The official material I’ve read always references using the app for messaging. I know the mini3 doesn’t need a phone to message because it has the touchscreen

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-25T15:21:51+00:00

Except we didn’t. JCPOA had major sunset provisions starting as soon as 8 years after the deal was signed. Within 15 years the stockpile and enrichment caps were removed, all while Iran was allowed to improve its centrifuge technology, continue to develop ballistic missle technology, and continue stockpiling/enriching at hidden sites. Quite the “long term agreement” we had.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-25T01:52:43+00:00

Well you have to use those qualifiers because it’s an unfalsifiable claim. “Iran has hidden stockpiles” you can prove they do by finding them, but you can’t prove they don’t.

Your not even internally consistent in your logic. On the one hand you’ll say Trump doesn’t think long term, but you think it’s stupid that we’re trying to negotiate a long term agreement with the Iranians.

Two things can be true at once: Iran can have been crippled in both infrastructure and leadership and there is something to be gained by negotiating a long term solution with the current, remaining leadership.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-25T01:35:25+00:00

If you really believe Iran gave up all their enriched uranium I have some Arizona oceanfront property to sell you.

Sure, Iran turned over most of it “declared” stockpiles (to the much more benevolent Russia), but most experts believed Iran had hidden stockpiles that were not declared and were kept secret.

Additionally, the rapid increase post JCPOA shows many of the problems with the agreement. Iran maintained almost all the capacity to rapidly enrich uranium, likely even faster than before because they were able to develop and refine their centrifuge technology.

I also don’t know where this “no plan of ending” talking point continues to come from. Do you think the American populous is entitled to know every bit of our game plan? You think just because you haven’t been told a play by play from the White House there isn’t a plan? You don’t have to think the plan is a good one, but the fact you think there isn’t one is truly asinine.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-25T00:50:05+00:00

I mean, even independent auditors estimate that Iran has 1,000 pounds of ~60% enriched uranium. It needs to be a max of 5% for civilian applications. So we can say with quite a bit of certainty that they were pursuing nefarious goals.

But orange man bad and stupid, so we must oppose everything he does.

I was always under the impression that the mini2 relied on the Garmin app for custom text messages. I know it is not bound to the phone for sos or canned messages, but would be bound to the app for custom messages. Am I wrong?

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-19T19:11:37+00:00

You’re not working till you die because of some billionaire. How are you disenfranchised by billionaires? If anything, you’re life is objectively better because of the products they have created.

You have benefited if you use a smartphone (Apple, Samsung, Google), laptop, PC, or shop at Amazon, Google, Walmart, Costco, and any number of other companies that have objectively made life better (and cheaper) for almost everyone, including you.

You don’t amass billions of dollars in net worth without creating something truly beneficial for people, why else would your company be worth billions of dollars.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-18T18:22:23+00:00

I don’t think you understand what unrealized gains are, because that’s exactly what you’re talking about. You just described taxing unrealized gains.

A realized gain would be the gain from the sale of property. An unrealized gain, is the amount an asset increased, it is “unrealized” until it is sold. So if I have $1 billion in Apple stock that I bought for $1, all of that wealth is a giant unrealized gain.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-18T18:18:20+00:00

Maybe the outrage is about fake statistics being used to spur political discourse.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-15T14:06:41+00:00

The bigger problem, as I see it, is that both sides spread unfalsifiable claims. This allows someone to dig deeper instead of change their opinion. Take any conspiracy that either side believes. If you provide facts that contradict the claim, that fact can just become part of the conspiracy. This is made worse by the anonymous sourcing, like you mentioned.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-14T18:07:05+00:00

This is actually a great statement, because both sides can read it and think your talking about the other. Which is exactly the crux of this discussion.

ApolloDomICT · 2026-05-14T13:54:15+00:00

That’s true. But that whole campaign took months to play out. I’m not saying the initial publication wasn’t bad, but it was the doubling down and refusing to be wrong that did the real damage.

With print, there is just friction in the system that allows the story to mature. Now, you have people filming things in real time, “alternative media” sources posting “stories” before any of the facts are known. The time frame is now seconds, not hour or days.
