Hot Pit Refueling is essentially combat refueling and rearming of an aircraft for a quick turnaround. The engines are not fully shut down so that ground crews can quickly prep the aircraft to go back up. In combat conditions, this would mean that POL and MUNS teams would join the crew chiefs at a selected location near the runway to complete this task. The aircraft is checked for any mechanical issues and if it has minor combat damage it is repaired quickly (duct tape, replacement panel, chewing gum) and the aircraft returns to the skies.
As a native Nebraskan, I take great offense at the “northeast Nebraska’s biggest city” phrasing. What a weirdly specific way to refer to an otherwise average small town. We’re already a joke, why rub it in and imply Omaha or Lincoln don’t exist?
That’s a very different case. Read the actual article. That guy broke a window and was reaching in to try and unlock the door at 3am. The whole thing was caught on a surveillance camera. I think they made the right choice not charging the home owner if those reported facts are accurate.
Idk, maybe zero, maybe 100. What difference does it make? This is a group of people deciding (right or wrong) that this isn’t something they aren’t going to allow.
The point is that elected officials are spending taxpayer dollars (right or wrong) on something that practically doesn’t exist. It’s like wasting everyone’s time legislating that people with 2 penises aren’t allowed to wear dresses to school. This wasn’t a 5 second vote that just popped up. This was multiple people spending hours discussing this, drafting up the language, voting on it, drafting up the press release (they have to publicize how righteous they are), printing up new rule books for every ref/coach/school, etc.
I don’t disagree. Elected officials/governments are inefficient. But that fact is not unique to this situation. How much taxpayer dollars have been wasted on the federal UFO investigation? My own city government has spent billions (with a B) on addressing problems that don’t exist. Now, I admit, I don’t know what “people with 2 penises” refers to, so maybe you made that up to prove some point?
