Putting it in a simple way. PUT the Military in to handle air traffic. In case of a national emergency the government will take over. Aircraft in civilian status may become aircraft used in a conflict and coordinate with Military Aircraft under ONE control. Otherwise,civilians do not understand Military operations. Confusion will occur. I am for MILITARY CONTROL and if more personnel is needed bring back the DRAFT.

well well, King Willem being instructed how to pilot the Boeing 737 now that Fokker is being phased out. The flying Dutchman will always stay alive . The first twin engine Fokker was presented to queen Beatrix 40 years ago. Soesterberg is a small upscale town where the King has his palace and is staffed by American Pilots using the F-15 Jet fighters. Do not worry, the King is well protected.

This is truly a fantastic article. I have made parts for the F-16 in my early days. I understand the standard procedures and follow up to complete the project. Thank you.

perhaps, the pilot should have dropped some flares to let the boaters know that he is coming down for a "Drink".

I learned one thing: If it looks good and feels good the knife will show up and you will meet your maker.

you are welcome. I have never bought a car with the Japanese name on it, even though some are being built in the U.S.A. I can hardly wait to find out how our Military is going to progress under the TRUMP'S administration. The Air Force needs 15000 pilots. Also the equipment needs to be updated. I believe in what the President said: "PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH".

this was the year 1942 when my mother and I along with my brother and sister were taken away in a Japanese truck convoy and put in the Japanese concecration camp on JAVA, INDONESIA. I am the oldest in my family. My Dad was caught on BORNEO and we did not hear from him for 6 years. We were rescued 4 years later by the Allied troops. Because the Atom Bomb was dropped on Japan resulting the surrender of JAPAN and kept us alive. JAPAN wanted to conquer the World. I am a U.S. Air Force Veteran and believe it or not was stationed in Japan in the beginning stages of the Vietnam War. I have been in the B-29 and it is a fantastic aircraft. My Dad was stationed in INDONESIA for 22 years with the ARMY and worked closely with the C.I.A.. My son is with the AIR COMBAT WING in the Pentagon and his son (my grandson) is also in The Air Force. I remember World War II vividly and the conditions we suffered in the Japanese Camp.I am also a member with the AMERICAN LEGION and am on the COLOR GUARD . I ca

Fantastic!!!!! The B-29 saved my life. If it had not been assigned to drop the Atom bomb on Japan then I would not be sitting here.

People of TURKEY have infiltrated the Netherlands for last 4 Decades. Now it is a large population of TURKS demonstrating to gain more from the Dutch Government. Elections are now over and TURKS are demonstrating. The Turkey's Jet was refused to land in Rotterdam. perhaps IT WAS TO GAIN MORE POWER AND EVENTIULY THE NETHERLANDS WOULD NO LONGER BE RECOGNIZED AS A DUTCH NATION AND WOODEN SHOES WOULD BE REPLACED WITH CAMELS. Germany is going through the same thing with Syria. Both Netherlands and Germany want to keep their ethic race intact and not watered down with other races and take care of their citizens first.
