Here's the approximate distance on Google Maps, from the last point that SYR9218 was visible and Al-Dayaa Airport, southwest of Homs. It's about 19km (or a little less than 12 miles for readers in the US, Liberia, and Myanmar).

The IL-76 that left Damascus was ~19km from the nearest airport to the southwest of Homs when it left radar coverage.

Logistically, you used one of the most pimpin' automobiles of the 1980s, and I salute you, sir. Its only competition: the Lincoln Mark VII
No way you're getting 12 Compaq Portables into a Mark VII, but with the 5 liter V8 and air suspension, that was also a sweet-ass ride.

When you combine this with pictures of a hard working single parent in the NYC subway trying to bring a pizza dinner back to his teenagers, well, you get a sense that something is happening here.

I got a covid booster yesterday. Unrelated, I have been reading "Julia: A Novel" by Sandra Newman. It's a retelling of Orwell's "1984" from the perspective of Julia, Winston Smith's lover and co-conspirator.
This probably explains the fever dreams about solving Newspeak logic using calculus.

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1983 Soviet Nuclear False Alarm incident.
Petrov was a Soviet officer who saved the world from nuclear war.
Today is a day to reflect on the importance of human judgment and the consequences of technology in our world.
