other recently seemed to be "Teal".
Everyone else seems to notice that people use
their real names and go along with that.

Sounds much like "Air America" by Christopher Robbins.
At one time the CIA allegedly owned so many
airlines and aircraft and had confused the
issue so well, the boss couldn't find out exactly how many aircraft they owned.
If you have a Callair towplane, it was built
by Intermountain Air which at one time was a CIA front.

Yeah,
The NSF have plenty of dash err cash!
Take for example the IceCube Neutrino
Observatory located at the Amundsen-Scott
South Pole Station, built over the years 2005
2010, and estimated to have cost $229
million. JJust getting the parts (including
those for the -hot water - drilling rig), to
the site kept their own private airline
busy for years. God only knows what else
this fleet does, or where it does it!

PS As an aside, google âmurder at the south
poleâ re the death of Rodney Marks. What is
of major interest is that although New
Zealand has legal jurisdiction here, the NSF
was very easily able to gag the NZ
investigator, and also spirit Marksâ body away: handy having you own fleet.

LOL! I think you'll find that adding the
Voodoo sciences is fairly recent so that the
mediocre don't feel too left out. aka
"political correctness". Shows the problems of
letting an organisation like the NSF define
itself. It appears to be a US Federal
government body which doles out federal
taxpayer funding to universities and a few
other bodies. OF COURSE they'll be as
inclusive as possible. Helps get more money by creating larger pressure groups.
I remember only a couple of years ago STEM
generally was taken to mean Science,
Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and
social and political science didn't count.
I make a small exception for psychology in
that there is a legitimate part of it that
deals with human perception/reaction aka human
factors research which is what science/science
fiction Jerry Pournelle did at Boeing back in
the 1950s. There was even a TV series back in
the late 50s about that sort of thing, "The
Man and the Challenge". It is on youtube.

computer and information sciences, and the
social and behavioral sciences psychology,
ecoonomics, sociology, and political science.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Air brake handles
Most aircraft designs are built in total
numbers smaller than what a car manufacturer
would put through the production line to debug the line.
It is just good engineering to use what is available that will do the job.
I'm guessing you've never actually done any
engineering or manufactured anything.
Academic, but not from any STEM fields who can't do physics or maths?
Besides, you are a cowardly anonymous troll.
The vast majority of people in this place identify themselves.

It does not look anything like a wheelbarrow
or bicycle handle. As Macca points out, you
can use the handle from a ski stock or a
Norwegian walking stick or whatever they are
called. At least they're designed to be held
like 'that'. D
