All of a sudden it just started happening. Instead of buying a plane ticket to go somewhere, I became an unwilling “wedding” guest. Jerks on planes had ruined the natural order of things. Jerks made getting off planes one of the worst things about traveling. This is not merely a rant. We know each […]
Boeing, a master blaster of the military-industrial complex, has more issues than National Geographic. FACT-O-RAMA! Two Boeing whistleblowers have “died suddenly” in the past two months. One was found with an allegedly self-inflicted, fatal, gunshot wound to the head AFTER telling his family, “If something happens, I didn’t commit suicide.” The other whistleblower, reportedly a […]
Border security experts are demanding that Congress use an upcoming debate over the Federal Aviation Administration to pass legislation that would make it tougher for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally to get on airplanes without using identity documents from their native countries. Under the Biden administration, the Transportation Security Administration has allowed hundreds of […]
NEW YORK — An emergency slide fell off a Delta Air Lines jetliner shortly after takeoff Friday from New York, and pilots who felt a vibration in the plane circled back to land safely at JFK Airport.

DALLAS — It has been 15 years since the last fatal crash of a U.S. airliner, but you would never know that by reading about a torrent of flight problems in the last three months. There was a time when things like cracked windshields and minor engine problems didn’t turn up very often in the […]
Boeing’s troubles with their 737 MAX series of aircraft appear to be continuing, despite many of the planes having already been returned into service.
