I hope at some point the commenters (all rightful in their own mind) can remember an innocent flight attendant was injured, an airlines could have possible lost an aircraft and suffered a major financial loss and with that, a lot of innocent people could have wound up paying the price.

Political opinion are great, debates are healthy (without the personal insults), but also at some point, I encourage everyone to not forget the human aspect and the human toll.

Are you referring to the majority, the supporters of the President Elect who won the popular vote, increasing vote totals in every demographic except white unmarried females?

Who are the trolls now?

The moderators of this site (and I use the term loosely) are failing in their responsibility to maintain the integrity of this site as an aviation-focused discussion forum. Free speech is one thing, but if it's politics the user is interested in, this is not the forum. The moderators need to step it up a notch and ensure that the site is run professionally and the conversations stay on point. A bunch of us are getting sick of the opposite.

Totally agree with you Gloria. And as Chris Morgan stated earlier, it's getting more difficult to find aviation dialog on this site due to all the political crap being posted. If I want political comments, I know there are tons of other sites to visit, just not FlightAware please. Indeed, where are the moderators??

When the Biden Administration allows tens of thousands of Haitian illegal aliens to be flown into America using aircraft built in America, glown by American pilots directly to American airports in swing States, it IS avaition news. My guess is
they agree! Also, you don't have to read it.

Hello everybody, I'm looking for the site that has lots of chat about aircraft. I know it was called 'Flight Aware' at one time, does anyone know where I can find it today??
Thank you

Well said, Chris - thanks for that. I am a private pilot who has reveled in what I have learned from more experienced pilots here in the past, but now one has to sift through a heck of a lot of crap to find gems that used to be the norm, not the exception.

I was a fix wing flight medic and we flew into Haiti frequently. We could leave the airport and an "ambulance" would bring the patient to us. The ambulance had bullet holes in it. Very scary place. Honduras an Monterey Mexico were bad but not nearly a bad as Haiti.

I thought this was a site that discussed matters/items of aircraft interests, not political agenda, get back on the agenda guys/gals, there are plenty of other sites for political discussions.

I agree with your assessment, but let's not forget that they were allowed to enter our country by the present and soon-to-be-gone administration.

OMG!;o) You definitely need some serious help bro. You’ve been listening to far too much propaganda shoved down your throat by the communist (aka democrat) party. If you actually spend equal time OBJECTIVELY listening to both sides, it’s pretty easy for anyone with half a brain to figure out who’s doin’ the lying.

You realize his SecDef is a retired Major in the Army who spent combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, earned two bronze stars and the Combat Infantryman Badge (only issued to COMBAT infantrymen) and spent time working at GITMO right? And that he graduated from Princeton and Harvard right? No, you probably don't because all you know is what your leftists MSM/em propagandists want you to know.

Heh. Anyone who thinks a guy who got 50,000 people out to a cornfield in the middle of nowhere was beaten by a guy who couldn't get 1000 at a downtown rally is living with a TV between their ears.

DESPITE and BECAUSE of the lawfare, impeachments, bankruptcy attempts, ASSASSINATION attempts and out right media smears you obviously bought hook, line and sinker, Trump received a popular vote victory, too big to cheat, even with the unconstitutional ballot harvesting, mass mail-in and contemporary efforts by demrats like Mark Elias in Pennsylvania they used to great effect in 2020.

That story isn't over and you will eat your words.

As for the popcorn, there's none left as we are using it all to watch Trump and his band of patriots drain tbe sclerotic swamp of which you seem so ignorantly enamored.

Be afraid.

Be very afaid.

Just kidding. You'll be WAY better off.

You'll see.

Nice ad hominem and, typically, sophomoric and "dumb", even IF the only thing Hegseth ever did was being a Fox host (most popular cable outfit by far because you get BOTH sides of the argument), it still makes him vastly more qualified than the dei hires with which the current admin peppered the cabinet.

Myorkas? Brinton? Levine? Heels Up, herself?

Heh. I'll have this fight all day long.

Know why?

Our leader knows how?

You spelled a majority wrong.

I guess all those black and Hispanic voters are "backwoods inbred" as well.

You're an idiot and a hater....besides, what have you prog urban tards got against the countryside? They grow all your food, Einstein.

You have to accept it. You are/were galactically wrong, propagandised by the marxist faculty lounges that have infested our schools for close to a century.

A new dawn, my friend. Get on board the Trump Train or get run over by it.

The truth is always upsetting to liberals.

They are easily upset so it appears it is necessary to repeat:

We would be equally upset if it was white Amish causing all the trouble.

We are SUPER fans of conservatives who happen to be non-white (and why do you care so much?) like Shelby Steele, Carol Swain and the inestimable Thomas Sowell.

Americans kill each other to a far greater degree in black communities than any other. IF it was racist to say so, we would be CELEBRATING because it means more dead or incarcerated blacks....but we do not want that to happen.

It is, in fact, liberal policies that allow and ENCOURAGE this scourge, making liberals/democrats the actual racists...and that's not even counting the white savior identity shtick narcissists have swallowed whole.

Sorry....got of the topic of this subject matter.


Bullets fired at aircraft is a bad thing.

I find this ironic, considering it's likely this very plane flew 160,000 of Haitians in America, that they'd now be shooting at it? Im guessing they heard there's gonna be a new sheriff in town soon!
