It sounds like this actually caters to business jet travelers, not commercial passengers, but the language is confusing. For example, you can’t drive a passenger straight to the plane on the tarmac — they have to cross the jetway just like everyone else (except for certain commuter flights...and all private jets). And…

Airports are not really a social equalizer. Air travel is FAR out of the reach of a good portion of Americans. They are, I guess, a place where you can be exposed to anyone from the lower and upper extremes of the middle class.

I’ve gotten out of around 11 tickets. Here’s what I’ve done every single time:

But they don’t want those Federal Programs cut. They like their corn subsidies, and being allowed to graze their cows real cheap, and being able to hunt on public lands. They want social security when they are old, and unemployment when they are out of a job, and disability when they get hurt. Those are the good…

Not necessarily. Simply allowing players to sell their own likenesses, sell autographs, sign jerseys, make commercials, etc would require no investment on the part of the colleges. What the NCAA does goes beyond simply not paying students, it strips students of money they could otherwise be making.

Canadians who are there anyway because they have cheap ass mobile homes they use for 3 months. (Source: my in-laws who always take in a day game at Jet Blue Park in Ft. Myers because it’s close and they are from Boston. You see lots of Canadian plates in the lot there too- but they aren’t coming from Canada just for…

True that. And hey, any beer is good, if you’re drinking it with the right people - I’ll take an esky full of cheap lager with good friends, over drinking some finely-crafted microbrew with beer snobs any day.

I enjoy them, actually. Good summer beer. Light and easy to drink.

But the facts of the matter make that about the only explanations. The pilot either fell out or jumped out of the aircraft at some point after take off, leaving the aircraft to crash when it ran out of fuel. That really isn’t all that mysterious.

Am I missing something here? The guy set the autopilot and bailed / jumped / fell out. Plane ran out of gas. Everything seems explained on how the plane ended up in the snow.

It was most likely a speed camera. The U.K. is overrun with them to an extent that is hard for most US drivers to comprehend if you’ve never driven there. I’m willing to bet that some of her other tickets were also speed camera generated.

Science proves it’s more dangerous to be constantly staring at your dash being concerned about a couple of miles per hour speed than actually looking at the road. Go figure.

That’s what I’m wondering.

Yes. BMW calls it the Z4 coupe.
