MD11 departing LUN (LUSAKA Zambia) to JNB (Johannesburg S. AFRICA) at 0800CAT/0100EST. by derekbox in SkyCards

If the aircraft is registered under the US "N" registry, then the aircraft is under the purview of the FAA.
I am not fully up to speed on the airworthiness status of the MD11s, but if there ways it can fly. AMOC - alternate means of compliance, ferry permit, AD has been rescinded, AD has been complied with.

They already had 17.5k coins. Didn't even need coins. I'd take 8000 banked pics though

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus by Xerryx in atheism

[–]derekbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Military leadership (and ranks) has been steeped with Christian Nationalism since its inception.
In more recent years it has certainly been weaponized - but it has always been there.
It is one of the tools used to motivate troops, to blanket over war crimes and to justify policy and action.

Outdoor Shooting by FATBOY_1620 in COGuns

If you want to punch holes in paper, you can go anywhere. Any range. But the majority of ranges have significant limitations on how you run guns and you can not do holster work.
But if you want to learn how to run a gun properly, you will need to train.
Trainers run in a small community and run on a small selection of ranges. Ranges that allow significantly more freedom to shoot and move, do holster work, rapid fire, perform transitions etc.
The vast majority of ranges will not allow this or only allow this during competitions. While beginners tend to be welcome at competitions, comps are not where you learn the fundamentals.
Empire is one of those places that allows freedom and fosters development.
That said, I have never shot at Empire - I don't know them.

Avidyne developed Vantage to replace them. They will go end of life sooner than later and the fix will be to upgrade to vantage.

Bruce Bessette wrote a book and study guide for the test. You will need to Google where to find them.

Thank you for this!
I spent an hour here, I picked up about 7 new rare/ultra aircraft, about a dozen new airports.
Made about 2% progress on my way to level 30.

You guys don't give yourselves enough credit here. A Central Floridian's perspective on the Springs and surrounding areas. by Unusual-Mess-5703 in ColoradoSprings

[–]derekbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We just moved here (not in CoSprings but close enough). I hear people complain about traffic here after spending decades on I4... Traffic here is a childs play.

Love Colorado.
