    IYKYK. If you don't, then this wasn't intended for you :rolleyes:

    Gun owners buy and use Priuses too, fortunately for me anyway :D

    Yeah... hitting the ignore button on your profile so I don't see you anymore... All you gun crazed freaks are vile and wretched and way more likely to die by suicide.

    Getting put on his Ignore list is often a blessing.

    We may never know.
    There were 8 beans aboard....meaning 3 pax, probably.
    They were working out at Edwards on something with "testing" in the description - meaning probably 'Secret Squirrel' stuff.
    Weather was CAVU.
    There were the military equivalent of CVR/FDRs aboard.....but good luck getting those data.
    Pretty senior people aboard that bird - eh? ;)
    I'm guessing that the NTSB isn't going to be investigating this one - although the three extra pax may be a wildcard.

    The Buff is an extraordinarily safe bird, especially when you consider their age and the number of cycles they've amassed.

    We'll see.
