    I’ll stop flying when the politicians do. Until then I fly at least twice a month, sometimes just for fun. Actually most of my trips are for fun, I’m retired.

    Depending on your age it may not happen before you retire. And if you are a nurse, as opposed to tge surgeon it will probably take even longer before it happens. But remote medical work is definitely a thing. One of my insureds is a company that developed technology to transfer medical images (ultrasounds, exrays, etc) over the internet. They have a staff of doctors in India who perform diagnoses. The company’s customers are assorted US hospitals.

    And we already have robotic surgeons--which conjures up all kinds of gruesome images...

    It’s younger than I am.

    It had new paint, interior, and engine done a few years ago. It’s going to get some new avionics this year.

    At least if The Orange Moron signs it, there won't be collateral damage afresh. I don't care if he lies, I just care about aviation safety and the economic security of those for whom Trump could care less - in this case, Federal Employees. And I love how you referred to Trump here, TT. Rob
