Let’s have some fun. Post your prediction(s) for 2019.  Here are mine:

1.  Given a taste of power by recapturing the House, 2019 will have the leftists become even more unhinged, unstable, and violent than we have seen since the 1960s.

2.  Ruth Bader Ginsburg will assume room temperature in 2019, and Trump’s nomination and subsequent hearings for her successor will make the Kavanaugh hearings look like a junior high musical.

Go.

Legal Beagles and others who stayed at the Holiday Inn Express last night:

Can Trump sue Cohen for breach of privilege for opening up his yap about things he’s talking about in public?  I’m not talking about things he was compelled to disclose in court, but for what he is saying now after pleading guilty.

I don’t have many hero’s in my life. But yesterday I lost a high school classmate, my quarterback, and a warrior.

I wonder what would have been sung at an Obama rally?

I’ve been wanting my own aircraft for a long time.  It’s taken me a while to define my mission, and I’ve gone from a go-somewhere aircraft (even though as a renter the farthest I’ve gone is about 300nm) to a Warbird such as a T-6.

However, the best deal in the world to get into a Warbird is the CAF.  I already fly a CAF Fairchild PT-26, and am building my hours to get into our SNJ next spring/summer. The cost of getting into the SNJ is a ridiculously low $3,500 sponsor fee, plus an hourly rate and share of fixed costs split among about 5 active pilots. It would be foolish to buy a $150,000 T-6 and $15,000 in fixed annual costs when I have access to the CAF.

However, I think I’ve found a potential solution in a Navion, preferably one painted in military livery and with a larger engine, I.e. 260 or 300 hp Continental. It would be a stout go-somewhere plane, but also a fun aircraft to fly for $100 hamburgers.

They were built by North American (maker of the T-6, B-25, P-51) after the war and before North American began production of the F-86 Sabre, and then were subsequently licensed and built by Ryan. Great lineage.

I’m going to get a flight in one this month from someone in our wing who just got one, but does anyone here at PS have any experience or knowledge of owning and operating a Navion? 

Pros and cons are welcome! 

Watching it live on C-SPAN at work. Desperate people taking desperate measures. Pathetic.

My first question:  What took so long?

My second question:  In what world do former employees get to retain their security clearance for a single day after they leave government employment?

I have to turn in my building pass if I leave my employer.  I’m pretty sure I don’t continue to get access to its servers.

I’d appreciate a good explanation as to why this can possibly happen. I’ve got nothing.
