This #InternationalWomensDay, think of the #women #drone #pilots of #Ukraine
Like their great grandmothers, the Night Witches. Without parachutes. Cutting their engines and silently bombing Nazis in pitch black
Women like Yevhenia "Furia," 20, a reconnaissance drone pilot
Dasha "Galactica," 24, a first-person view drone pilot
How much death have they had to be involved in?
And for what?
The folly of one narcissistic old man, #Putin
The sudden #FAA restrictions seemed to catch #pilots & #AirTrafficControllers by surprise.
Audio from LiveATC.net caught the moment pilots were made aware of the grounding.
“Just pass it on to everybody else, at 06:30 for the next 10 days, we’re all at a ground stop,” a controller said.
A pilot replied, “OK, ground stop 06:30 for how long?”
“Ten days,” the controller replied.
“So the airport is totally closed?” the pilot said, chuckling.
@aurelia @q This is absolutely pure gold right here. I love his dry comments at the end.
We'll need a benchmark across the LLMs for that. Including a locally operated PlaneGPT for this as average in-flight connections would be spotty usually. And one version with ATC included.
