Eh, I guess, i mean I actually don’t even care, but you know voice of freedom etc.

Call me contemporary, but I don’t see what is so wrong with his outfit. It’s not like he is one of those horribly dresed “famous” Americans who would show up in a raggedy-ass t-shirt and flip-flops, dud has his shirt tucked in and looks fashionable.

My FO’s taught me some cool stuff when making field expedient antennas, any good, senior radio op will carry jumper cables, a high throughput copperhead, and spare batteries.

Should have been named the “Chicken” for its flying “prowess”
