If I recall correctly Catalano was referred by the LA division but not sure what information they had. The rebel pilot angle is interesting but doesn’t seem like Catalano was ever interviewed.

As ever, you are being silly. Here's a true story. Some years back I got a phone tickle from a pilot on the east coast. He seemed decent enough and his resume fit my profile so I offered to fly him out to interview, no promises, and if it wasn't a fit I'd pay for his return. I picked him up at the airport, (I was holding a pair of welcome to Oregon Heart Balloon's just so he got a good first impression) and off to the DZ we went. The next day after looking around and checking out the aircraft we were walking up the runway. I told him, honestly because of how he spoke, I thought he was African American when we talked on the phone. He just stopped, seemed a little put out, and asked if that was a problem. Not for me, says I, this is Oregon, being black pays time and a half. I'm just glad you're not gay, the double time is killing me. You're not gay, right? And away I went with my new pilot in tow.

1st static line Westmoreland Park Pennsylvania summer 1975. Got my c license at that club over the next few years. Met some awesome people. Learned about flying out a door with others.. dirt diving. Accuracy landings. Rounds and the beginning of squares. Summer’77 drive cross country. Jump in Beaumont TX for fun. Head to California end up in Davis for 2 years driving to Pope Valley almost every weekend. Moved to Pope Valley for a year until the DZ was sold and closed. Wine industry takeover! I stopped jumping. The end.

I'd agree that history or not the Biden brouhaha will, and I might be wrong, be not more than not much. At this stage, I'm willing to believe everyone went home, and accidentally I swear it, with the wrong persons underwear at some point. That said, I do not think Trump was anything except arrogant and purposeful in his taking of classified material. Just look at other violations of the Presidential Records Act he's flaunted. The equivalency bit with Biden is nothing short of simpleminded horse shit and no one who knows anything about the man should have any other starting point.

What an obit it was! I agree 1000%

What a great obituary -- but dang, what a shame Wendy P.

I like how your link is both saying “look Hunter said he owns Joe’s place, God he’s such a liar and you can’t trust anything he says!” and also “look Hunter wrote on the same form that he pays Joe $50k rent and if he said it then it absolutely positively must be true!” You can’t resist undermining your entire core argument just to get another unrelated dig in.
