Nah. It was somebody's attempt in an election cycle to say here's what I did for you. Now, see what the Government did - RE-ELECT ME SO I CAN FIGHT FOR YOU!!! Pathetic

If hundreds of pilots intentionally hit thousands of crowds a year with personal aircraft, killing tens of thousands of people - yes, there might be more restrictions on them. You might even have to get a license to fly an aircraft! You might have to REGISTER your aircraft with the GOVERNMENT! If things got bad enough you might even have to take a PHYSICAL to prove you were physically and mentally capable of flying an aircraft! Why, Gestapo government agents might even occasionally check your aircraft while it's sitting there on the ramp minding its own business! And if you did kill a few people in a crowd - purely accidentally of course - they might even take away your license and prohibit you from flying. Fortunately we are far from that woke, dystopian future. They'd never do that for airplanes - or guns.

What's lodi like these days. Haven't been there in 10 years. I heard there were changes

Cherry picking does. Tell the whole story. Tell them about the Tariff Wars. Tell them about the European Automobile Manufacturers Association on Thursday . . . market share of fully electric cars fell from 13.8pc to 12.5pc in May. A whole 1.3 pc!!! Tell them about - Belgium and France were the only key markets to increase EV sales in May, growing 44.8pc and 5.4pc respectively. You're not making mistakes. You are intentionally being misleading and untruthful. You're back on block. Don't reply.

He's exactly right. Let's take an example. A student pilot is departing an airport. He wants to climb faster - he wants more lift! So he pulls the yoke back as much as he can. His climb rate increases - but his speed falls off. When the wing reaches about 15 degrees angle of attack, he feels the buffeting of an incipient stall. What should he do? If he wants to get "the maximum possible lift force" as you mentioned before, he should pull back further. That will maximize his lift. Up to about a 40 degree angle of attack, more pitch up equals more lift. If he wants to survive, he reduces the angle of attack. This decreases lift slightly but GREATLY decreases drag, so that he can keep climbing with the thrust he has available in the engine. You almost never want "the maximum possible lift force" in airplanes OR parachutes. Nope. Drag does not "make the air move in a certain direction" and it does not "create lift." Drag is the result of the aerodynamic forces acting to slow the wing. The front of a ram air parachute is open because the dynamic pressure caused by the motion of the parachute with respect to the relative wind keeps the canopy slightly pressurized, which causes it to keep its shape. That happens due to the momentum of the air, the pressure behind that air and the stagnation point in front of the wing - not because of drag. If you sealed off the front of the wing completely and pressurized it from another source (a compressed air bottle for example) you'd get a very similar amount of lift.

If he did the death toll may well have been lower.

Was it a concealed aircraft?
