With airlines committing to A330’s to fill need. Maybe reconsider. W/USAF, GOING TO NEED MORE AIRCRAFT FOR LOGISTICS TO EUROPE FOE Army stuff, might first look at needs for logistics contracts. If Turkey leaves NATO, DOD assets will be flying longer routes. With US Navy needing and wanting high sea state , water based logistics aircraft, might look at 747 wing on top, internal withdrawn logistics container, consisting of inflatable top shell on float load platform, with integral frame ducted fans, or Apu’s driving water jet propulsion for self docking, un-loading of container. Maybe w/ai rcushion lift only to bring onto beach. Look to Oshkosh will provide new and Recap'd PLS trucks and trailers, HEMTTs, and HETs. The initial delivery orders call for a total of 353 new and recapitalized vehicles, and proof of concept, off shelf development. Ret.Major, Logistics. USAF AND USAR

Why was the Ballon icon and information removed from tracking during this CCP tracking incident, @ the same time was the aircraft track around the ballon in Montana and the Atlantic, off shore, tracks of F22’s? If so, why did the FAA allow F-22’s to be tracked!? But not the ballon? A video recording of an high altitude aerosol plume, then an extremely bright blue flash, then very loud bang was captured going to the ground around Billings Montana. No news, no follow-up. DOT Transportation head Buttigieg, keeping American’s dark? This same person has allowed the Hawaiian public rail line in Hawaii to stop two miles from the Airport w/No funds, but over budget by 1000%. Eight years funded by Biden/Obama/Obama(the secret WhiteHouse). Wheels ordered and made for the train were the wrong size! Is Petti going to get people to the airport or just give unions money, to fund the unions who gave the money to Congress for elections, then congress bailed out the unions. NO AIRPORT INFRASTRUC

Hilicopters are lifed by rotors. Rotors fly. Thus, lift by propellors, flight by wing. Remember the New York, Tilt Rotor, PAN AM, flights? Look it up. What flew then, the small wings, or the rotor doing iifting. Either way; autorotation is automatic. Is gliding automatic, or does lift first be obtained. In Tilt rotors, you always have lift, especially to autorotation, which is auto-lift! Now that "Slow Rotor", lift has been accomplished; are you in rotor lift, or rotor lift, and lift by forward motion, ie 'wing lift'? These arguments of rotor vs wing is absurd. Who cares. The recumbent bicycle(Human powered Vehicle{HPV]), is safer, than a bicycle, especially when you crash them. Yet, everyone rides a bicycle, not HPV. Shouldn't the philosophy of the need for helmet, prevail, for the HPV vs bicycle? Tilt rotor is safer; just as Wart Hog, is safer for ground support vs. fast mover's, just not pretty. Big business killed the tilt rotor, and Thomas E
