I think the Trek universe morphed to whatever each episode needed to advance its plot. There is also the issue of what "socialist" means, since there are several incompatible definitions. Several episodes of the original series definitely revolved around economic individualism, such as the...

I didn't know Romulans were into Jazz blues. The AI Joanne Linville still rocking that dress 58 years later.

I never got around to selling the MRX I posted above so now I have an XRX and MRX stashed in closet. In the 11 years since I made my post I bought a C-172 and installed a Uavionix Skysensor (ADS-B In). The Zaon boxes seem somewhat redundant now.

It's unclear to me what problem they are attempting to solve.

Congratulations! I earned my private pilot from a CFI who enjoyed parachuting but it was not my cup of tea.

I recall being 40 years younger. I was in the University of Minnesota's Tate Hall physics library (or periodicals) room when I heard about the disaster. Went over to the Coffman Memorial Union building to watch the TV news reports.

Will the hangar fit only the Bonanza?

The first recorded manned balloon flight was in 1783. The first recorded manned powered airship/balloon flight was in 1784 with the first powered airship/balloon flight across the English Channel in 1785. So excluding unmanned flight, aviation (if defined as involving human transport) began 119...

Unless that guy is getting secret intel from current squadron members it seems hard to say anything is amiss since the plane could have kept its transponder off for the remainder of its flight and landed someplace else on the planet. Plenty of hot-spots around the globe lately.

Next time I’m in town visiting relatives I need to visit that site. The last time I was in that area my wife and I had lunch with my oldest brother and his wife at Holman’s Table, a decent restaurant in Holman Field.

Interesting. A bit of searching indicates it is known as the Indian Mounds Park "Airway" Beacon.
