Historical and Revision Notes
senate report no. 95–989
Subsection (a) of this section prescribes the trustee's duties. He is required to perform the duties of a trustee in a liquidation case specified in section 704 (2), (4), (6), (7), (8), and (9). These include reporting and informational duties, and accountability for all property received. Paragraph (2) of this subsection requires the trustee to file with the court, if the debtor has not done so, the list of creditors, schedule of assets and liabilities, and statement of affairs required under section 521 (1).
Paragraph (3) of S. 1106 requires the trustee to investigate the acts, conduct, assets, liabilities, and financial condition of the debtor, the operation of the debtor's business, and the desirability of the continuance of the business, and any other matter relevant to the case or to the formulation of a plan. Paragraph (4) requires the trustee to report the results of his investigation to the court and to creditors' committees, equity security holders' committees, indenture trustees and any other entity the court designates.
Paragraph (5) requires the trustee to file a plan or to report why a plan cannot be formulated, or to recommend conversion to liquidation or to an individual repayment plan case, or dismissal. It is anticipated that the trustee will consult with creditors and other parties in interest in the formulation of a plan, just as the debtor in possession would.
Paragraph (6) [enacted as (7)] requires final reports by the trustee, as the court orders.
Subsection (b) gives the trustee's investigative duties to an examiner, if one is appointed. The court is authorized to give the examiner additional duties as the circumstances warrant.
Paragraphs (3), (4), and (5) of subsection (a) are derived from sections 165 and 169 of chapter X [sections 565 and 569 of former title 11].

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
A mid-afternoon accident involving crews paving U.S. Highway 6 critically injured one man on Monday afternoon and brought traffic on the busy road to a stand still.
The accident reportedly occurred when Jeffrey Benedict, 47, of Phoenix, Ariz., was trapped between a power sweeping machine and the eastbound facing paving machine at about 3:30 p.m..
Benedict, who works for Sunland Asphalt, was doing something on the machine when the operator of the sweeper, Wilford Simonson, 34, of Tooele, purportedly started the sweeper, which was facing north.
"It appeared to be some kind of mechanical issue or malfunction," indicated Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Joe Vasquez. "As Mr. Simonson put the brushes down on the machine, the unit made a right turn toward the rear and that's when Mr. Benedict was trapped between the two machines."
The incident occurred at the intersection of U.S. 6 and its junction with Utah Highway 191.
It took a long time for rescuers to get that man out of the predicament, and stabilize him. Because of his injuries, officials actually called the University of Utah Hospital to bring in Life Flight to transport him directly to Salt Lake, but bad thunderstorms and winds along the Wasatch Front made it impossible for the helicopter to take off. With that Benedict was transported to Castleview Hospital for treatment. At around 7 p.m. that evening Life Flight was able to take off again and transported him to University Hospital. At the time he was reportedly in very critical condition.
Once the man was removed from the area, traffic lanes were opened up again and the canyon vehicle jam soon cleared up.
"It was an unusual investigation for us," said Vasquez. "It was an industrial accident, but since it took place on the highway it was up to us to do the initial inquiry."
Vasquez said that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will be also investigating the incident.
The OSHA investigation was also confirmed by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) on Wednesday.
"We have asked OSHA to come in and evaluate the safety practices," said Myron Lee, spokesman for the UDOT. "We are waiting for them to finish their investigation so we can figure out what went wrong and to correct it so it won't happen again."
Lee said that whenever an accident happens on one of their projects it upsets the entire department.
"Our people are deeply saddened by this accident," he said. "We work around heavy equipment all the time, but when this type of thing happens, it hits everyone hard."

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - Hundreds of gay marriage supporters rallied in downtown Portland Thursday to launch the final campaign push before Tuesday's vote on a same-sex marriage referendum.
Mainers United for Marriage held the get-out-the vote rally in Monument Square. Organizers said the rally served as a "call to action" in the final days of the campaign.
After the rally, gay marriage supporters were encouraged to walk to Portland City Hall and cast in-person absentee ballots.
Residents on Tuesday will vote on a ballot question seeking to legalize same-sex marriage in Maine.

Michael CouperAffiliation:
Artist's Biography
Hailed by the New York Times for his "sweet intensity" and "insinuating smoothness," Michael Couper, saxophone, is a proponent of the advancement of saxophone repertoire to include new music, traditional music reinterpreted, and innovations in pop styles. Under the pseudonym "Shrodinger's Sax", Dr. Couper plays soprano saxophone with the highly virtuosic and unique band SWARMIUS, described as a sonic fusion of hip-hop, house-lounge-techno meets modern-classical. Dr. Couper is also a founding member of the critically-acclaimed Mimesis Ensemble, a group based in New York City that is dedicated to performing works by living composers. Both as a soloist and with the Mimesis Ensemble, he performed premieres in many venues across New York, including Symphony Space and Merkin Hall, and Carnegie Hall. Partnering with saxophonist Kenneth Radnofsky, Dr. Couper co-founded a music publishing company, RCEditions that endeavors to enrich the repertoire of the modern saxophonist, offering as part of its catalog adaptations of historical masterworks as well as exciting new commissions.
With the Quadrivium Saxophone Quartet, Dr. Couper received a Performance Outreach Fellowship from New England Conservatory (NEC) to give educational and multi-faceted recitals in the Boston area, in schools and after-school programs as well as in adult communities. Dr. Couper has also performed with the Boston-based new music ensemble, Juventas, and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, as well as several local orchestras in the Los Angeles area. Utilizing the saxophone, clarinet, and flute, Dr. Couper plays frequently for musical theater productions and studio recording sessions. He is an active teacher and performer in the community, with a private studio comprised of woodwind and music theory students, and positions at several local community music schools and conservatories. In November of 2011, he collaborated on a Grammy-nominated disc of chamber works on the Sono Luminous label, and has subsequently recorded with SWARMIUS and for the LA Operetta Foundation.
Dr. Couper earned his Doctorate of Musical Arts with distinction from the University of Southern California, his Master of Music from New England Conservatory, and his Bachelor of Music from San Diego State University, where he was the outstanding graduate for the School of Music. His past teachers include James Rötter, Kenneth Radnofsky, Todd Rewoldt, and Douglas Masek for saxophone, Frank Ticheli, Malcolm Peyton, and Brent Dutton, for composition, and Larry Livingston for conducting. Dr. Couper is a Conn-Selmer artist endorsing Yanagisawa saxophones.

- How to Read a Study Record
Dolutegravir (DTG, GSK1349572 is an integrase inhibitor that is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of HIV infection. DTG will likely be used in women on oral contraceptives (OC) for birth control. Based on accumulated non-clinical and clinical drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic data, there is a low likelihood of drug interaction between DTG and most widely used OC drugs. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of DTG administration on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a commonly used oral contraceptive product, Ortho-Cyclen (combination of norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol), in healthy female subjects. Each subject will participate in a Run-in period (if needed), followed by two treatment periods. Approximately 16 subjects will be randomized in a cross-over fashion to either Ortho-Cyclen with DTG or Ortho-Cyclen with Placebo for 10 days and switch to the alternate treatment for another 10 days. Subjects will return to the study center for final follow up evaluations 7 - 14 days after the final dose of study medication.

Though theyd never met before, long hugs, tears and some laughter made it more like a family reunion when the Thompsons of Watertown, the Dotys of Washington state and other supporters moved by their story gathered Saturday at a fundraiser to benefit the Dotys Heal Thomas Foundation.
The Thompsons became unwittingly connected with the Doty family when a hoaxer harvested the Watertown familys Facebook images and used them to perpetrate a cruel con against the Dotys. The Thompsons believe that a Harrisville woman, Marci A. Rose, used the photos to escalate her relationship with Johnathan Hillstrand, a star of Discovery Channels Deadliest Catch and Doty family friend, promising a large donation to the Doty family. The hoax caused Thomas O. Doty, 19, to delay cancer treatments for several weeks. He lost his battle with osteosarcoma in December.
After learning about the hoax and the Dotys financial struggle, as well as their desire to start a foundation to help others seeking treatment not covered by insurance, Ruth Thompson Shear began organizing the benefit at Watertown Eagles Aerie 782.
We had to make something positive out of something negative, Mrs. Shear said. All the support weve gotten for the benefit, that shows were good people in this area. Its helped bring some peace.
Members of Thomas Dotys family traveled from Washington for the event thanks to the donation of plane tickets by Chris Sausaman, Fredonia. Mr. Sausaman also was a stranger before Thomass illness and the hoax.
When the hoax story made national news last summer, Mr. Sausaman sent a donation to the family. At the time, Thomas was fighting for his life. He returned from treatment and Mr. Sausaman sent an iPad as a gift.
When Thomas died in December, Mr. Sausaman stayed in touch with the Dotys, offering to fly them to Watertown when he learned of the fundraiser.
Thomass mother, Tiffany, said she had hoped to come to the benefit, but finances most likely would have prevented it. Mr. Sausamans gift made it possible.
Still grieving the loss of Thomas, the Dotys boarded a plane.
How could we not be here when people are here for us? People are coming together to heal, Mrs. Doty said.
She, along with Thomass grandmother Linda Oliver and girlfriend, Rayne Johnson, landed Friday evening. They stayed up until 3 a.m. at their Watertown hotel visiting with Mr. Sausaman. We did a lot of crying and laughing, he said.
Mr. Sausaman said hes been asked often why he would pay for plane tickets for virtual strangers. They ask why, and I ask them, Why not? You dont have to know someone to support them, he said.
When I first learned about Thomas, I didnt know why it weighed so heavy on my heart, Mr. Sausaman said. Now I know why God gave me this. Thomas is already doing good things in his afterlife by bringing people together.
For more information about the foundation or to make a donation, visit www.healthomas.com.

Tuesday, police officers in LA County fired on and killed a teenage father, Christopher Earl Glass, 17, after kidnapped and brutally stabbing his 5-month-old son and namesake, Christopher Earl Glass Jr., to death.
Prior to the slaying, an Amber alert was issued when Glass called the mother of his son, threatening to harm him. Unfortunately, by the time the authorities caught up with Glass, he had already successfully kidnapped the young boy. It was during the pursuit that officers observed Glass performing a stabbing motion in the car, which was later discovered to be the fatal blows.
Police gave chase until Glass crashed into a building at which point he fled on foot. Police officers continued pursuit until Glass broke into a home where they fired on and killed him. Unfortunately, they were unable to kill the [expletive deleted] before he fatally and purposefully injured the innocent child.
Reading this story on CNN's Web site filled me with hate and rage. Was it simply moral outrage? I don't know. Was it because I'm a new father, writing this piece not three feet away from my son's crib, while he coos, gurgles and gasps that makes this story really hit home, leading me to feel bent with dark emotions and a lust to exact some type of revenge? I don't know, but probably. O'Mara, Jackson, Batson and Gaertner (2011) would suggest the latter. In their latest article, they found evidence that suggest people are generally more motivated by personal anger and want of revenge than moral outrage per se.
Now that I've had a chance to look over their work and reflect on the news of this brutal murder, for the most part, I agree with the authors, O'Mara and friends. But I'm not sure if we should distinguish want for revenge from moral outrage. What about righteous retribution? Isn't it just revenge with a moral bend to it? I'm a bit of a moral relativist, but I know I feel strong social emotions when reading about these types of stories that might just key into my morality (i.e., it is bad to kill one's kids therefore I get angry reading about it). I explicitly know that I'm glad Glass was killed, but I'm mad that it was the police that got to do it. And, as a quick aside, what an easy way for Glass to go—shot by professionals who know where to put a bullet. Nevertheless, if Justice were a force of nature, as in the Roman sense, that truly reflects the morality of revenge, then the family, the mother even, would have been able to exact revenge slowly, painfully and with less precession. If that were the case, then it would be hard to deny that our justice system reflects our vengeful, moral nature. Sadly it doesn't. But, hopefully, in future cases, it will.

I love Katie Jump Rope. My favorite color is orange. Of all the members of my family, my son is probably my muse. He is always asking me for the most improbable items like a quilt shaped like a surboard, a balaclava that has war paint, etc. I taught him to crochet this year so he could make a tunic for his high school Beowulf unit.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing with us.
Count me in John. I love those fabrics!ReplyDelete
I recently made a quilt for my hubby for our wedding anniversary out of all Kaffe Fasset fabric scraps - and called it 'Blokey Beauty'. He loved it. A friend of mine who stitches bags for a living says it's important to him that his boys see him work, so they get it that sewing is a technical skill, not a girly craft. Recently, my 10 year old and his 10 year old asked to make swimming bags for themselves on my sewing machine - what a coup to get their attention in this way. I have shown your blog to them and they think it's great! Maybe we'll have some 'textile engineers' of our own in the future. So, you can be a role model to people across the globe whom you've never met - cool, eh?
Anyhow, congrats on your work. I'd love to join in your giveaway, but mostly I just wanted to see 'goodonya'!
Great interview...Congrats on your much-deserved time in the spotlight! These pillows are a perfect example of your amazing work and I would be so thrilled if I was lucky enough to win them:) Thanks for the opportunity.ReplyDelete

RODMAN A farmer was seriously injured in a farm accident on Route 155 in Rodman when he was hit by a cattle truck on Tuesday morning.
Rodman fire officials said Gregory G. Porter, County Route 62, Watertown, was run over by the truck shortly before 10 a.m. at 14918 Route 155 at Porterdale Farms. The accident occurred at the main farm.
Mr. Porter, an owner of Porterdale Farms, was caught underneath the cattle truck and dragged when the truck was backing up, friends said. He was taken by a helicopter to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, where he was listed in serious condition on Wednesday afternoon. He suffered a broken hip, broken ribs, injuries to his torso and a collapsed lung, his friends said.
The tight-knit farming community was taking the news hard.
On Wednesday, Jefferson County agricultural coordinator Jay M. Matteson said he called the family to see how he could help.
It sounds really serious, he said.
Nancy M. Robbins of Old McDonalds Farm, Sackets Harbor, said the accident hits close to home.
Farming is dangerous, she said. Everything you do is dangerous. Its moving parts and moving equipment. Youre always trying to get something done. Its go, go, go.
And farmers know the risks, she said.
Just three months ago, her manager, Ryan A. Nortz, 33, was also injured seriously in a farm accident when he got caught in a piece of farm machinery at Robbins Farms, 17171 Fields Road, Hounsfield. He was at Upstate for three weeks and is still recovering. Three years ago, a Sackets Harbor firefighter was killed in an accident when a silo exploded at the dairy farm.
Mrs. Robbins said Mr. Porter and his family are community minded, noting his daughter, Casey, is serving as dairy princess. Family members also belong to Honeyville Baptist Church, Adams Center.
It will be difficult for the Porter family, with the accident happening at the height of the growing season, she said. As an owner and manager of the farm, Mr. Porter is actively involved in running the family business.
Itll be a long recovery, Mrs. Robbins said.

A second mutation found in the tumors of patients with BRAF-mutated metastatic melanoma does not contribute to resistance to BRAF inhibitor drugs, a finding that runs counter to what scientists expected to be true.
The study by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that patients with the mutations in both the MEK1 and BRAF genes respond as well to the inhibitors as patients with the BRAF mutation alone.
Another surprising finding is that the MEK1 and BRAF mutations exist together in these patients, despite the fact that they drive the same cell signaling pathway. That discovery also bucks conventional wisdom, said study senior author Dr. Roger Lo, an assistant professor of dermatology and molecular and medical pharmacology and a Jonsson Cancer Center scientist.
"This study is a good example of why scientists should not always rely on what we expect to find," Lo said. "We expected that this second mutation was involved in drug resistance and it wasn't. We also expected that only one mutation would exist in this signaling pathway, and that also was wrong."
The study appears April 1, 2012 in the early online edition of Cancer Discovery, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Association of Cancer Research.
About 50 percent of patients with metastatic melanoma, or 4,000 people a year, have the BRAF mutation and can be treated with the inhibitor Zelboraf, two pills taken twice daily. Zelboraf was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in metastatic melanoma in August 2011. Many other common human cancers, including colon, thyroid and lung, also harbor BRAF-mutated subsets, Lo said.
Use of BRAF inhibitors led to a response in about 60 percent of those with the mutation, Lo said. After responding initially, most of those patients become resistant to the drug. Lo and his team of Jonsson Cancer Center scientists have been studying the mechanisms of resistance to see if they can either prevent it or find a way to re-sensitize the tumor to treatment. It was part of this work that led Lo to examine what role the MEK1 mutation might or might not be playing in that resistance.
"MEK1 is rarely mutated in cancers, but we found in this study that it was frequently associated with BRAF mutations," Lo said. "The presence of both mutated MEK1 and BRAF might have been considered a biomarker for patients who would not respond to BRAF inhibitors. We were quite surprised when we found that patients with both mutations respond to BRAF inhibitors as well as those with only the BRAF mutation."
To explore the association between the two mutations, Lo and his team analyzed tumor samples from 31 melanoma patients treated with a BRAF inhibitor. Among those patients, 16 percent of samples carried the double mutations in tumors before the cancer was treated, Lo said. The findings were confirmed using melanoma cell lines grown in Lo's laboratory.
Going forward, Lo and his team will look at approaches using inhibitors of MEK1 with BRAF inhibitors to determine if patients with the double mutations respond better and for longer periods. They will also try to understand why MEK1 mutations occur quite frequently among melanomas. About 15 percent of the patients with BRAF mutations also have a mutated MEK1, Lo said.
"As BRAF inhibitors gain widespread use for advance melanoma treatment, biomarkers for drug sensitivity or resistance are urgently needed," the study states. "We identify here concurrent activating mutations in BRAF and MEK1 in melanomas and show that the presence of a downstream mutation in MEK1 does not necessarily make BRAF mutant melanomas resistant to BRAF inhibitors."
About 70,000 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed each year in the United States. Of those, 8,000 people will die of the disease.
The study was funded by the Bud and Sue Selig Innovative Research Grant from Stand Up to Cancer, Burroughs Wellcome Fund, the Seaver Institute, the Richard C. Seaver Charitable Trust, National Cancer Institute, STOP CANCER, V Foundation for Cancer Research, Melanoma Research Foundation, Melanoma Research Alliance, American Skin Association, Caltech-UCLA Joint Center for Translational Medicine, Sidney Kimmel Foundation for Cancer Research, Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA, Wendy and Ken Ruby and Louise Belley and Richard Schnarr.
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating basic science into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2011, the Jonsson Cancer Center was named among the top 10 cancer centers nationwide by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for 11 of the last 12 years.

Back in 1942 or 43, a young fighter jock looped the Golden Gate Bridge and then proceeded to fly "down Market Street" in his goverment-issue P-38 waving to the secretaries who were watching from the skyscraper windows. His commander chewed him out royally for the transgression and I'm pretty sure he was in the doghouse for a while. But... sometimes you just have to let the ponies run, you know? He went on to accumulate 40 victories in the Pacific Theater, becoming the USA Ace of Aces. His record still stands. Richard Ira Bong.
RIB was a badass
Here's the Wikipedia version:
On June 12, 1942, Bong flew very low over ("buzzed") a house in nearby San Anselmo, the home of a pilot who had just been married. He was cited and temporarily grounded for breaking flying rules, along with three other P-38 pilots who had looped around the Golden Gate Bridge on the same day. For looping the Golden Gate Bridge, for flying at low level down Market Street in San Francisco and for blowing the clothes off of an Oakland woman's clothesline, Bong was reprimanded by General George C. Kenney, commanding officer of the Fourth Air Force, who told him, "If you didn't want to fly down Market Street, I wouldn't have you in my Air Force, but you are not to do it any more and I mean what I say." Kenney later wrote: "We needed kids like this lad." In all subsequent accounts, Bong denied flying under the Golden Gate Bridge. Nevertheless, Bong was still grounded when the rest of his group was sent without him to England in July 1942.
Note the "along with three other pilots who had looped around the Golden Gate Bridge on the same day" part. That doesn't mean he did it, too, and he also denied doing it.
I also wonder how many skyscrapers there were in San Francisco in 1942. (Clue: Not many.)
Great stories are just that: great stories.
First things first Wikipedia is not always credible. Wiki has serious reliability and legitimacy issues. The problem is: anyone and everyone can post ANYTHING about a given subject on that site. You do not need to be an "expert" on a given subject but you can add an opinion or modify the article to that effect. Wiki is aware of this and have taken steps to try and legitimize their website but thus far, most in the Academia world will tell you, do not cite Wiki at all (for obvious reasons).
A case of a Wiki article gone amok. Sarah Palin's commentary on Paul Revere's ride. That article on Wiki was changed eight or nine times before the editors at Wiki stepped in and shut it down. It seemed that Sarah's followers modified the article to reflect her inept and illogical opinion on that subject.
I will look at Wiki to see the footnotes. They oftentimes DO help while doing a bit of research. Just be careful when reviewing Wiki articles and ALWAYS, ALWAYS question the primary sources the article cites.
What's a skyscraper in 1942? There were 16 buildings that were 300ft or better in SF at the time, the tallest being 452. So as far as clues go, you might say "not many" or you might say "enough", depending on whether you're a wet blanket or not...
Yep, they even had a Media back then!
So glad an expert was there to tell us about the plane's rockets at full throttle.
I love that ROCKET BOOSTER part on the tail end of the video.lol
Witnesses say it was lower than 1,000ft....ATC radar can show different. I bet he was over it and they the witnesses can't tell altitude.
Well, if the radar shows him above a grand and he had the discretionary fly clearance, the ANG may be PO'd at him and find something to gig him on but the FAA can't. As far as going home on a commercial flight, he was bringing the plane up there to be painted so it was probably already booked anyway.
Wish he would have done that 30 miles north instead. I would have loved to see/hear it.
Damn wish I was there!
"I was like, 'Holy Cow!'"
I'd like to thank the hard working folks at Gooberville News for digging up that expert analysis.
Too bad it didn't happen in Minnie-sota... Yah, you betcha, he was a haulin' da mail!
I live in Waukee (the town that this occurred over), and it flew over my house at about 5,000 feet, which is obviously not low at all. It was doing rolls, and some typical maneuvers you'd see at an airshow. I didn't think much of it, and I remember thinking to myself, "Wow! That's so cool!" But anyways, I definitely did not feel like I was in any danger. I think someone over reacted.
Yeah, its hard for people to judge. I can look up on a claer day, see a contrail and even the plane at times, come in and look on FA and see that they are at FL 30000+ and you wouldn't think they were a mile by looking.
There are no contrails around here any more. It's all about 'chemtraiils'. One of the local talk shows here must get at least one call a week complaining about planes leaving chemtrails. Conspiracy theories abound.
Next time they bring up the chemtrail BS, call the station and ask them why we are still alive if there are chemtrails being sprayed all over the place. Surely, the human race as well as all animal and plant life would be history if such was true.
We went thru all that spray business over here in Arkansas a couple of years ago with the Blackbird kill at Beebe and the fish kill near Ozark. The birds were a fireworks thing and the fish kill was natural, but it all got blamed on USAF spray planes malfunctioning out of Little Rock AFB and they managed to tie the Pine Bluff Arsenal in it too, and it's about closed down. It takes all kinds.lol
I think this chemical is for mind control :-) hehe
I feel... strangely compelled... to agree with you...
Does your version of FA have a 6 min delay? About a year ago The airport here activated unused runway 4/22 which put the approach for 22 almost over my house. I noticed then that there was a significant delay from real time
There is a delay of some type. I am not far from KMPJ and I can be sitting on my porch and see CONTRAILS(not chem trails.lol, look at the FA map and Eastbounds are showing halfway back to KFSM, so there is undoutedly a delay of some kind in there. I was a thinkin' they said something about that here while back and that there was 2-5 minutes in there but I can't remember the reason. It may been the FAA feed they are getting.
It wouldn't surprise me if Homeland Security had some stuff in the game. I can depend on a full 6 minutes here and no military traffic at all. I'm om a loooong approach for Dover and hear lots of traffic for Andrews.
I believe the time delay is mandatory for security purposes ... to prevent aircraft from becoming the targets of the subversive, who would see the flight path and altitude, and plan their attacks accordingly. I prefer a safer environment in which to fly, so the slight delay in reported position doesn't bother me. :)
I know a few fighter pilots who would love to hear this woman's description of afterburners...
Are you kiddin' me? I'm no fighter jock and I still got a giggle over the rocket booster comment. My bet is she would not know the difference between 500 and 5000 feet don't ya know.
He was told he could fly at his discretion...what's the problem here it's an F-15 they can do that, very well infact.
Don't that mean according to regs though.LOL????
What a bunch of weenies! This guy is a fighter pilot! And a real stick from the comments. I'm proud of him, but in today's p.c.military, I'll bet he loses his wings. Too bad.
Unfortunately, you are probably correct, But when you have a CinC that has no gonads, there will be a trickle down effect.
I grew up in Lancaster, CA, near Edwards AFB in the '70s. I loved to see the jets doing low fly-bys over the desert. Dang they were loud sometimes, but that just bumped up the cool factor a whole bunch. Today for me it's the sound of freedom. Let them jockeys fly!
Why is it that people with no credentials or even an idea at all about aviation much less any formal training can have such crushing "authority" to end someones flying career. That is big time bovine defecation.
Shoot man, that's the American way now.lol
Amen padre, you speek the truth.
I just wonder what was in his head that caused him to do it.lol I like that ROCKET description too.
You just know grandma or some family member lives in Des Moines. They probably waited excitedly all morning for him to get up there. Hate to hear about the ride back in the tube of shame, but I think you nailed it --- must have already been booked. Press just loved the drama of that though. He probably was below 1000, so it's gonna get ugly. Poor guy.
"Tube of shame" I'm going to find an excuse to use that phrase someday!
Why do i have that song Highway to the Danger Zone in my head after reading that article. lol
Wow! Cool, wish he came to blast over my house
they contacted the pilot immediately. yeah and they told him good job! lol
Sierra Hotel.
I'm not a pilot, but I'm glad we have guys like that to defend us when needed.
Problem is he may get fired over it and won't be there when you need him.
Ghost rider requests a fly-by heheh
It's laughable to hear most civilians talk about military aircarft. In the mid-1980s there were public hearings in Camarillo, CA on moving the 146th Air National Guard unit from Van Nuys, CA (San Fernando Valley) to NAS Point Mugu, CA (Oxnard Plain coast). Camarillo is along Point Mugu's Runway 21 line up but is 12 miles from the base. Camarillo is where the Oxnard AFB was back in the 60's for the really "experienced" people.
One gentleman at the meeting kept making reference to the increased noise he would have to endure at his house (15 miles away) by those noisy C-130s on approach. Finally, one of the F-14 Grumman mechanics from NAS Point Mugu (Pacific Missile Testing Center back then) stood up and asked him, "Sir, do you even know what a C-130 is?" His reply, "I don't have to know anything about it other than it has 4 big, noisy jet engines on it."
Ok, turbo-props are "jet" engines, but I'd rather have C-130s flying over my house than BUFFs any day of the week. Wonder if one of those "rocket boosters" can be fitted to my car? (JATO bottles anyone?)
I've heard the work really good on Impala's. ;)
Hmmm, my dad still has a 1990 Impala.... maybe a custom restore should be planned for it. The trunk should hold about 4 bottles :-)
It would probably snit and git.lol
What gets me, all the folks griping about the noise are the first ones that holler and scream if a base or ANG group is planned to go away. You can't have it both ways people.
You know, I might have to wonder about your statement just a little. We have C130's out of LRAFB in low level training every day. You can hear them a lot earlier than you can see them and they literally shake the house and ground when they come over at about 1500'. I have been down by Bossier Cy at the North end of Barksdale and watched the BUFFS in and out and I don't think the are near as bad as the 130's. IMHO
I grew up near LRAFB, about 30 miles ENE, and the noise we had from there was the B-58 Hustlers sonic booms on a near daily basis. Wonder how she would have described that noise? That's was a real low-level window rattler.
In Iraq my hootch was about 600 yds from the center of the runway. I got so used to the F-16 flight of 2 taking off every couple of hours in full AB that eventually the only thing that woke me up was the mortar attack sirens. LOL
I had forgotton those B-58's. I was at Davis=Montanh in 1968 when they brought the 1st one in for the boneyard. It was a big deal. Thing Wing Commander and most of the staff wee out there. I had managed to get up in the tower. FSO had 2 rescue choppers hovering on the ramp
That sounds like up around Bald Knob or therabouts
Bald Knob is NE and I grew up due south of there about 40 miles. ENE of LRAFB puts you on the White River in Des Arc. If you're ever over that way, try Dondie's White River Princess for dinner. Catfish, shrimp, crawfish, and chicken buffet. If you're near DeValls Bluff, stop in at Craig's BBQ on US70. Take the mild sauce unless you like lit rocket fuel in your mouth. lol
Don't get into East AR that much but I have been to DeVall's bluff and have had that BBQ. I never take the hot but my wife did. She just sat there and smiled and said man, that's good.
I lived a long time ago in a direct line with the runway at Richards-Gebaur AFB in Missouri. A-10's coming & going at all hours of the night, sometimes low enough to give you a colonoscopy. You get used to it. People would say "How do you stand these planes?" and I'd say "What planes?"
In the late 70's I lived in Sacramento, east of Mather AFB and south of McClellan AFB. Depending on the wind I would either have B-52's or C-130's coming low directly over my apartment. Loved it.
whoops, WEST of Mather
Growing up an Air Force brat, I have always lived on or near a air base. I loved watching the British Vulcan bomber that used to fly the circuit at Offutt AFB in Nebraska as well as the F-106 and F-15s at Langley AFB in Virginia. Heck, even though I haven't been in the military since 86, I still live near an Air Force Base, Dobbins in Marietta GA which shares a strip with Lockheed Martin where they made the F-22. Back in 2005, brand new F-22s were waking me up at 8:30 in the morning on what seemed like a daily basis.
I still run out of the apartment to watch planes flying around here be it the occasional F-22 now to C-5 Galaxies to Air Force One (Obama came to Atlanta last year). If I can, I have my camera with me, but I do miss watching the test pilots play around now that the F-22 program has been completed.
The planes have never bothered me.
I lived under 22L approach to KMHR since before SAC left. You'd swear that a few of the buffs found oak twigs in the gear from the last 100' hill. Now they're bulding houses under the final approach and whining about the UPS freighters.
Well, you know that 11,300 ain't going away and UPS freighters ain't gonna land on the 6 next to it. Where did common sense go. Oh wait. This is California we are talking about. Sorry.
California did not invent NIMBY, but it did get the patent.
People every where are goofy. The Srtare had to buy all the land around BWI just South of Baltimore to make noise abatement even possible. Before it was BWI it was Friendship which was also an international airport. People would build a 3 story house 100 feet off 33L on CL and fuss about the noise 6 months later and maybe bring suite.
Back in the late 80s early 90s, people who moved into a golf community/country club development that a builder built right next to Patrick Henry Airport in Newport News, VA complained when the airport wanted to build new maintenance hangers on the east side of 7/22. The airport has been there since the 40s compared to the few short years of that development. My thought has always been, if you move into a home next to an airport or in the flight path, you have no room to complain.
Still, local authorities who allow or rather approve permits for developers to build near military bases or airports are ultimately to blame, especially if an accident were to happen. As it is, the city of Virginia Beach is starting to buy up the homes around NAS Oceana to help ease encroachment around the base (had been on the BRAC chopping block at one time) and to help ease the possibility of a similar accident with the Marine F/A 18 that crashed trying to land at Mirimar MCAS outside of San Diego.
Sorry. the Srtare is short for State
Why don't you just adnit you got fumble fingered.lol
too much reporting drama going on in today's America, very sad to see that, hope that pilot is cleared, F15 what a badass machine!!!!!!
He also fly's for United too ?
I know right?? I wasn't at home at the time.
Guilty til proven innocent....read like the pilot knew his stuff.
What's new about that. I thought pilot error was automatically the first word out of everybody's vocabulary.LOL
Maaannnn, why couldn't he have waited to do it in Sioux City. We'd have been cool with it.
Some of us really miss our F-16's (and even the old A-7's) that used to tear up the sky around here.
When I was in the Air Force the F-15 jocks routinely went vertical and disappeared into the sky. No big deal that is what the plane is designed to do.
ha......that's not entirely what happened.
Must be a typo, dumped their meth, not coffee...
I'm from Clive and wish I had been there to see it. KCCI as usual has nothing better to do. That fat Cow probably enjoyed the deep vibrations from the afterburners.
hello! i am not sure that the P38 waw on duty early 1942. it was a super twin engines in service in 1943/1944 !! probably a P 36!!
that ws great maybe the pilot watched topgun
Nonsense people, just be glad we have that jet and that Pilot.
Just on the other side of town from where I live. Sorry I missed it. LMAO listening to people being interviewed.
Shoot man, that's the American way now.lol
Need something to liven up dullsville Dez Moinez.
Lame story. I was hoping to see video of the jet flying low and we get a woman all too happy for her 2 minutes of fame and expert analysis.
I used to work in the Florida Capitol and the Florida Air National Guard would do the fly-bys for special events. We would all go to the 22nd floor which has a glass ceiling and enjoy the low fly-bys.
Thank goodness we have these talented and brave pilots to protect our country.
Yeah, it is a lame story. As it was reported and sensationalized, he will probably get tore up for it though. They talked about him going home on a commercial flight like it was punishment or something, but failed to note he was bringing the bird in for paint. That flight was probably already booked. If no more is said and if he was above minimums, from a reg. standpoint he'll be OK but depending on his superiors, he may or may not get a gig of some type.
...for when he just won't get up

as long as he wasn't drunk, i don't have a problem with him wringing-out the F-15.
i live very close to IAH's 2 north-south runway's, and we get F-16's and T-38's buzzing-by,
at low altitudes, constantly. 10 o'clock in the morning is not a "wake-up call" time.
You're unusual. Around here the residents buy a house near the airport then bitch about all the airplanes flying around.
Well, it's kinda like the Railroads. They built most towns they pass thru, but now the freight trains are becoming an inconvenience and Lord help if you near the tracks. A railfan would stand on the front porch looking at engine type and type of train, and a next door neighbor that bought his house last week couldn't see those rails and trains and if he did, thought they were just going to up and move on account of he lived there now.lol
so who was the target he was trying to impress? hope it worked...
likely the most excitement in that area for the decade, too bad the hosewives did not drop their donuts too.
talk about BAD TV news reporting....

those idiot people should run outside and throw their arms up in thanks.....whoever the dumbasses are that reported that pilot should be nominated to carry a rifle and walk point in the next engagement.
I love it when a military pilot does a low alt, high speed very loud flyby of my house. Id gladly sacrifice my windows yet still fell i haven't done enough.
some americans should be shipped elsewhere.....like iran.
thanks, Phil
Very intelligent input, thanks!
I work in Clive and I thought it was a flight of the Iowa Guard jets flying around like they usually do... unbelievable it was just one guy. That was no exaggeration, you really could feel it
If the fighter jocks want to do aerobatics, they need to do it in the proper airspace, not over residential areas. Having taken many a noise complaint for B-52 and KC-135 pilots breaking the rules, I know the bad public relations caused by pilots breaking the rules isn't worth it and can even lead to legal problems for the pilot's unit. No excuse for the pilot who did this, and good that he got a ride home on a commercial flight to give him time to think about what he did. Those who are saying "I wish he did it over my house" surely don't have young children or livestock or property that can be damaged and lost when a jet aircraft blasts the skies.
Dave, I have to disagree. This is not about "fighter jocks" or "public relations". This is about a mass communications major, a dumbed down degree where you don't have to take math 101, looking for a story, and Donna Sue wanting to be on TV. It worked. They went viral on YouTube.
Then comes the bureaucracy. They take names, posture, pose and try to nail down their own deck plank. Let's face it, it is expensive and unnecessary baggage.
My graditude to our military pilots, may they break some windows, scatter some cows, wake us up, complete the mission, and please, please come home. And to the bureaucrary, shove it.
Mack, I call it BNN247, Breathless News Network every hour, every day, all year long. the need to have everything on the air as 'breaking news'. I think it comes from the 'if it bleeds, it leads' on a slow news day that someone posts on Mew-tube.
sad but true
