The size of the state doesn't matter, it starts at the top.... the Governor needs to set the standards, and his staff need to make sure they are adhered to... 95 grand to sit do crossword puzzles and swill beer?

That was one old jet trainer.... he had turned Final and was 2 miles out on short final... no comments by the FAA or the navy as to what happened... apparently the plane and pilot were on a contract to the navy for air combat practice.. but not a lot more yet... it was one year ago today at the same airport and runway involved that a Boeing 707 tanker crashed on takeoff...

The contractor is on Mugu base. They do tactical training; they are the "bad guy" in flight training ops. This is the 2nd crash they have had in 3 months.
Like you said, he was on final approach. 1 person was on board (who died), and had a wing man who landed safely. The plan apparently caught fire in mid air.

Don't forget the eclipse
Supposed to be a good one tomorrow (Sunday). The moon will be between the earth and the sun, creating a halo effect. For So Cal, starts around 5 PM and peaks at about 6:30. But the time varies quite a bit depending on minor location changes.
Next best one after this won't be until 2044!
Earthquake?!?!
