<p>I’m a pediatric critical care transport nurse (ground/rotor/fixed wing) and an avid published aviation photographer. I spot at Moffett, Travis, Pt Mugu, USAF Plant 42, Edwards AFB, TTR, Star Wars Canyon, and the R-2508 Sidewinder Low Level Complex. Nikon shooter with a Z9 and a D850 as backup.

This is a good move by Wisconsin. There is an internal battle going on for the soul of nursing. Groups like the ANA (which seems more and more aligned with hospitals these days) are trying to push the academic nurse agenda vs those of us that feel at the end of the day its that one on one direct contact with our patients that make nursing what it is. While both are needed, the academic side want to dictate how and what bedside nurses do and practice when they cannot even perform the various ta...

VC-25A's unlike Bribe Force-1 are hard targets to kill and they have quite a few countermeasures. I have been lucky to photo underneath AF-1 on final so you can see each engine pod has a rear sensor and the side view you can see the LAIRCM / DIRCM suite on the tail #AF1 #AvGeek #cvvhrn

just to make sure I understand things We’re waiting for the 4th of July, which celebrates independence of this country when we overthrew an absolute monarch and we’re waiting to debut a $400 million bribe given to the wannabe fascist dictator ?

Scouting for me has proven invaluable as an adult. The problem solving, the leadership skills, the ability to adapt, and most importantly: how to be a true citizen in a global community. Scouting made the decision to embrace the dogma of the current administration and cave to the extremist Christian running the Department of Defense. But part of me held out hope that they would stay true to the new vision and not fall back into an old pattern that promoted intolerance, and exclusion. It is w...
