Don't forget the Delta flight that did a barrel roll today
That would have been Canadian ATC.
I thought it was the 51st state. /s.
That's funny. God's one. Not /s
Likely the weather though we had some pretty blustery winds in ontario
Yeah, I just meant not the US ATC.
I have a ss of it directly above this post in /all.

"ss" = screenshot, I get it now.
I took me a second. At first I could Nazi what the letters represented.
Screen shot, social security, secret service, subway sandwhich, it really could have been anything
There’s a reason piloting is one of the top 5 most dangerous jobs in the US. It isn’t because of the airlines, it’s because of small aircraft like bush pilots, light aircraft and helicopters. Without trying to be dismissive of the tragedy of a crash and the loss of life, small aircraft accidents and incidents are not unusual.
One of my family members owned a plane back in the ‘70s. For fun, I looked it up and traced the history. It was crashed three times, repaired twice, the third and final crash being a loss of life and aircraft thanks to a drunken owner taking it out on the final flight.
It’s surprising how dangerous aviation still is despite the immensely safe air travel we’ve all gotten used to.
