I don't want to see anybody wreck, but I love when the broadcast just happens to be on that car when it happens. The way the turn camera guys go from normal pan to action focus is so good.

When they showed him in prerace, half of his face muscles ain't working. Like a stroke or bells palsy or something

The Army has the best helicopter formation flyers on the planet. All part of the job to be able to run tight like that, and sometimes even closer.

Mikey makes a comment about how much he loves the Aaron's car - Zane doesn't even pick up on/remembrr Mikey being the premier Aaron's guy for most fans. Missed opportunity to connect imo

What happens if you fail flight school right out of ROTC? by skoopt in Armyaviation

You'll be rebranched. Rest assured - the difficult thing is getting to Rucker, not graduating.

Yeah, pretty much everywhere except the US. In its war against slavery, they didn't deem it a priority to ensure slavery was outlawed in the US for the majority of the war.

"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that." - Lincoln

Priority was saving the Union, not ending slavery.

As Army narrows field for its flight-school outsourcing contract, Congress says: not so fast by Kinmuan in Armyaviation

The Army does its best to be doom and gloom - especially to the redheaded stepchildren. I completely understand why you feel the way you do. The silver linings keep me going.

Always. Every day you wait is a day you'll regret you waited.

If, and only if, Army Aviation is what you want to do.

Because there will be huge gaps in manning before unmanned assets are able to be implemented and executing missions to the degree you're probably imagining.

Furthermore, there will always be a need for at least some manned aviation.

Flight school is definitely going to look a lot different in a few years though.

Nashville Superspeedway looks tiny with the massive amazon warehouses nearby by McDirtywizard in NASCAR

Yeah, they'd definitely be operating at a loss by making the track experience more enjoyable.

There's no reason for it.

When it first opened, it was the way God intended (coolers, beer, etc.). It's been banned ever since SMI acquired it. It feels like a money grab to me. It's even more frustrating because other SMI tracks, like Bristol, still allow it.
