UAL HOU->DCA ***ran into a kite*** tonight
The #US #Military thinks they own the skies wherever they fly and that they don't have to abide by any "civilian" rules and regulations.
Also, we need to stop this practice of military "fly overs". Ignoring the abject #jingoism, they're dangerous as fuck! #FAA #safety #DCA #Delta

Another close call at #DCA. I fly in and out of there so much- this is really starting to worry me. Maybe I should switch to IAD and just suck up the extra ground travel time

Nyt saa vääntää rautalangasta, koska mä en ole oikeasti mikään ihan niin kultivoitunut tekkiukko.
