Meanwhile, it's about 7 hours to go until we can really start getting some first results other than the 3-3 in Dixville Notch  

 

This is more or less what we're going to start the night with, but probably it's going to come down to Pennsylvania in the end.

Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?  

 

Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).

I dont have doubts: the F16 are old fighter for NATO standarts........but in Latin America is one of the moderns fighters a country in this part of the world has and in our case we pass  to dont have fighters at all (since 2018) to have fourth generation fighters for the first time ever, is a big and good change.

Will Trump let every  country in. Spoiler alert he won’t. Bye bye Iran and Cuba at the Olympics

Any news yet on all the celebrities who promised to flee the US actually fleeing?  Any of our Canadian friends spotting unexpected private jet activity?

 

I have stolen this one - the Amish are partying like it's 1799!

Yeah, but all the smart people got out of Europe well before 1/9/1939.  Don't leave it too late guys, or you will have to live in the slummy parts of New Zealand!

Don't attack Brazil though, I recently found out they have - and are getting more - Gripens  

 

How I still wish I could one day see a Draken fly, definitely my number two favourite behind the SR-71 (which I can't forgive my dad about...he once was at an airshow where it flew, long ago, but decided to leave to catch the boat back home and only saw it's shadow...come on man!).

Well, given the closing ads Trump made it pretty clear that his vision of America has no room for the "them/thems" so... might very seriously look at moving 200 miles North. Unfortunate that my fellow citizens hate people who aren't gender conforming.

 

(Perk of having two passports I guess)

This comment is really ironic given American Jews are among the most pro-Democratic party religious group in America and there's been a lot of talk about a plurality of Muslims voting for Trump in 2024.
