IRAN

This is happening right now in Iran. Anyone that says that there is no evil in the world had better look again. This regime is taking the lives of innocent people. People that do not have the same rights and privileges we have in this great country.

***WARNING GRAPHIC***

There are videos of the violence poping up all over the Internet and here are just two:



From a Facebook account of Hamed Rad:

At 19:05 June 20th

Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st.

A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house. He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed str More..aight her heart. I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her. But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim’s chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes.

FAA rules

Well now that the FAA has changed there rules for flying, I may just rush right out and get me one of these $139,000 planes from Icon. I have always thought it would be fun to fly, but honestly, if I was going to do it I would not want the restrictions. Still, this is better than nothing at all.



An Sport Pilot License takes roughly 1/2 the time of a general aviation license and also about 1/3rd the cost. What about safety? Well a SPL plane isn’t allowed to go above 138mph, can only carry 2 passengers and can only be flown in good weather, during the day and not near a busy airport like Los Angeles International.
