The structure of this survey is they just show you things in a list and you give a thumbs up/down or not heard of answer. Not exactly the most rigorous investigation into people’s opinions of these characters.

Center City Philly is another good option (perhaps between Spring Garden and South Streets) but I worry that the regional rail component of SEPTA's operations isn't robust enough currently to be viable at present (classic chicken-egg problem).

Boston is a bit trickier on the southwest side. I'd like to see Back Bay included in the zone, but including the South End is probably not necessary. So there are three options that I see. Dark blue as the most expansive, teal to include Back Bay, and pink as perhaps as phase 1 with room to grow.

Got to pilot a small plane around Manhattan last Thursday night. It was incredible.

Can you spot the train station for a city of 2.3 million people?

Don't threaten me with a good time, Linda.

Such a fun evening bringing together so much of the NYC Urbanist community to hear @thewaroncars.bsky.social and @nerd4cities.bsky.social at Hunter College

I made a quick map for my non-avgeek friends. It seems to me, after reviewing ATC audio and ADS-B data, that the helicopter pilots (green) were expecting a plane to be landing on 01 (blue path) and looking out the right side of the cockpit, rather than it coming from the left on the purple path.

I didn’t boil it, but hopefully my fellow PSU alums will forgive me.

On a recent @thewaroncars.bsky.social episode, they discussed a survey that questioned appropriate punishments for drivers convicted of traffic violence. Respondents were more approving of jail time than impounding the driver's vehicle. This was interesting to me so I decided to run my own poll.

2024 in #Travel, with 1 flight to go. A whole lot of time of regional jets.

Not included: 38 flights in a Cessna 172 that I piloted myself.

Here are the questions from the poll:

Giving strong Lord Farquaad vibes

Do I get bonus points because I was the one about to fly it?
