#1 "Just a little argument with my insane co-pilot, folks. Nothing to worry about."

#2 As the image yesterday, "Roger over Over, what's your vector Victor?"(Peter Graves) What, huh, who? (Kareem Abdul-Jabar)

Jesus was not the co-pilot?

As a volunteer firefighter who has had 'a busy week' there is no such thing as off-duty, and I give thanks many times over to the soldiers. Somebody buy this soldier a shot of Crown for me.

In 1999 a suicidal co-pilot was blamed for the crash of an EgyptAir flight from New York that came down in the Atlantic with the loss of 217 lives after he was heard on the cockpit voice recorder saying: ~~allahuh akbar~~ I put my faith in God.

Mentioned again, trying to tell us something?..

There was a mention over the last week about a coordinated attack against eu~~nich~~rope. Untasteful I know but Europe, as I know it, is great. Be great again please. To the US, this is a warning - the jihahas are pushing a wedge; no doubt their timing works on an election schedule.

#3 Remember right after 9/11 there was this pilot who suggested to his passengers how they ought to deal with any crazies or potential hijackers?

With a fire axe.

His attitude was kill them. Put them down and make sure they stay down.

#4 Don't they screen these guys before they let them into the cockpit?

#5 that would have freaked me out.

#6 Actually no, they don't screen them. In Australia airline pilots go to the aviation medical examiner of their choice, not the company guy. I know some quite strange airline pilots.

#7 The EgyptAir pilot was a jihadi. It sounds like this pilot just had a psychotic break, which wouldn't show up in a physical exam. But it is comforting that this was handled by a pack, not a herd.

#8 I'd guess the pilot had a mini-stroke.
