Post script: I was at the White House the night this incident occurred and there were A LOT of discussions about the possibility of a missile strike. It was deemed not politically prudent to open that can if worms during a reelection campaign. I, for one, never bought the NTSB results because I heard and saw a lot of the back and forth with Clinton. There's a great book written by Jack Cashill that documents all of the behind the scenes stuff. |
Best-selling Twin Cities author Vince Flynn dies of cancer at 47
For those of you who have enjoyed his books while on the road. Too sad, he was pretty young. |
Damn! Thought he had beaten it. My favorite author. Flew with a 320 fo in msp that I believe went to high school, college or both with him. Sounded like a great guy. RIP Mr Flynn.

On another semi related note: I had an NTSB bomb expert on my jumpseat many years ago and he debunked all the conspiracy theories on TWA 800. They had most of the pieces of the jet and it was an internal explosion beyond any doubt. He had pictures of the outward force of the blast and the general location of the origin, the fuel tank. What I like about APC is the range of subjects brought up, I just wish Slow, Alpha, and PG would show back up to prevent the very one sided views that are dominating the landscape. I enjoyed both sides of the debate. |
any more info on the -88 and the hail storm? I looked on the FAA's prelim incident website and see the -88 vs. the light pole incident but nothing about any hail storm. I figured it would be on there by now if it was that bad.

Those guys along with sailingfun and most of the other union people have pretty much gone radio silent after this most recent "last" displacement bid came out and the news about the latest scope waiver thing. |

But even though I can't figure out a name, I have the right pic and I think for fun I can make their arguments for them. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...dFlanders3.gif hat, mustache, and shirt open like I ain't going to work! :D (well, try n laugh) |

For those of you who have enjoyed his books while on the road. Too sad, he was pretty young. USA obit Flynn was working in sales and commercial real estate 20 years ago when he began reading voraciously in an effort to conquer his childhood dyslexia. In the process he fell in love with espionage novels and decided to try writing one himself. His first book, Term Limits, was self-published in 1997 after Flynn received 60 rejection letters. After its immediate success, an agent signed him. |
