Black history doesn't end just because it's March. Today let's celebrate Lt Willa Brown. She was the first African American woman to have a pilots license and an aircraft mechanic license. Black history is American history. Women's history is American history.

If you're losing hope just look at all the people who are continuing to fight. Take a break, take care of yourself and yours, then step back up when you're ready. Tap in.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

Remember when the US Government brought a bunch of Nazis in to work at NASA? Let's NOT do something like that again. Starlink has an FAA contract.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

Plenty of people concerned about the current safety of air travel. This is (you guessed it) an unprecedented time. All I can say for certain is that we have lost air traffic controllers. The current system in place has not undergone any unscheduled changes.

Our sources say this week DOGE was at FAA HQ and the Potomac Consolidated Tracon. High level federal employees are being screamed at in meetings (that's productive) and employees are being told that any "obstacles" should be reported to DOGE".

DOGE and Starlink were at the William J Hughes Technical Center (FAA) today. They conducted a meeting about implementing Starlink into the air traffic control system.
