    When I was in college, I do not remember a solitary black in the calculus class. Same with physics and chemistry.

    I'm speaking of people who cannot pass tests to get in, just like the ones who bribed their way in.
    Minorities get in without the bribe.

    Good point.anyone in Seattle knows they built a brand new library on south Raineer Ave about ten years ago, right in the heart of a black district.
    Go inside, who do you see, whites and Asians.
    But outside there are blacks selling drugs and women.

    Check out the photos. I saw several blacks in the photo where it appears to be a lounge.

    We keep hearing daily about whites who had to buy their child's entry into a university by modifying tests. They go to jail. Blacks allowed on on the same skills as those white kids get a entry pass and cash. If they can't do the work, why are they in the class?

    Looks like they are playing video games and waiting for their turns.
    Did you look at the childrens books.
    This is not the library but rather looks like a community center.

    I picked up the photos from the Rainier library site. You are the best authority if you have been inside the library.

    I've been inside the library I am referring to, and it looks like a library, not a community center.
    Lots of books, and tables.
    I got on Google earth, this is not the one I was referring to.

    BTW, Do you see any of those kids with books in their hands.

    I was looking for a picture, It might be on Beacon ave.
    It's been 15 years since I was there.

    I used to work down there and drove past it every day as I watched them build it.

    As to pilot training. When I trained to be a pilot, I rented aircraft out of Hayward, CA airport. This was a WW2 airport and the national Guard still uses the airport. It is a controlled field.

    Napa airport was where many of the foreign pilots were flying out of. It was amusing to hear them talking on our radios. But they tried hard to speak English. English is the universal language used by pilots globally when departing or landing at airports. Never having left the USA as a pilot, this may not be true in the Russian areas. Maybe a person knows if English is also used at Russian airports.

    Update on languages used in foreign airports

    I started flying in Alaska in 79, Cessnas, 150, 152, 172,
    On the first page of the Cessna flight manual is you need to read and write the English language.
    Now any flying within a particular country is probably in their own language.
    But all international airports are in English.

    I started training at Chabot Piper. A co worker was a pilot and he suggested them. I added a link on what happens in other countries. France is tricky for pilots speaking English.

    I started in a Piper Tomahawk and quickly moved up the ladder of Piper aircraft. I also flew the Mooney 201.

    I was restricted to the three I mentioned, but had friends with all kinds of aircraft.
    I played with a Mooney 231 while it was already air born, and a Ryan Navian, twin otter, and a bunch of others.

    I painted 3 Artic Terns at the manufacture at anc international.

    The 231 and 201 would be more alike than different. Once flying, one misses most of the fun of tinkering with the complex nature of that airplane. Been awhile for me so I would virtually start all over with those.

    I flew in the 80's in Alaska, came down here to Seattle in 90, and haven't flown since.

    They just make better movies if cow mutations has to do with chemical warfare. The county attorney that points you out in a crowded room to only the gray headed white boys in the county commission meeting and the zoning board meeting isn't very exciting.

    I take it you think young folks--white, black, brown, or whatever--who grow up in poverty and attend schools like these...

    Yeah, they do. Aircraft are large complicated systems, which require a large number of people to design, approve, build, and inspect..., the odds that any racial issue resulted in these crashes is unlikely. I've seen bad stuff, some of it due to affirmative action, but this system could not possibly have made it as far as it did due to it.

    Moderators, please remove the racist crap from my thread. It is not relevant to this discussion.

    Yeah, it reminds me of this time the "Captain" Ed Toner came on another board years ago to recruit for Stormfront, it is very distracting.

    Agreed. Reported as irrelevant racism

    Keep flying High fly boy

    When I was a kid the remote control Club had a Snoopy on top of a dog house that actually flew

    it was so funny when the guy would come out pushing a lawn mower and it would come out of his hands and fly away

    Is Boeing going to survive this? I know a lot of folks in Seattle I haven't talked with lately

    I know I never want to own another Chevy equinox the electronics in it are wacky

    Yes, I am quite sure Boeing will survive.
