Europe, Boring Until it's Not

Welcome to multiethnic paradise, cousins!

That's one hell of a title on the video. Trolled me right into watching it.

Germans buying pepper spray. Let me know when they're stocking up 20m firearms per year.

Interesting article about near misses in the UK military and the US telling the UK to keep their cockpit windows clean. That advice to me sounds like a no brainier:

The US Air Force (USAF) has urged its UK-based pilots to keep cockpit windows clean to avoid mid-air collisions with civilian aircraft.

RAF Lakenheath-based USAF F-15 jets were involved in 19 near-misses with UK aircraft in the past five years.

An F-15 pilot from the Suffolk base was recently praised after spotting a glider by eyesight rather than radar and avoiding a collision.
The USAF said its pilots were trained to fly in a "vigilant state".

The near-miss in April happened when a pair of low-flying F-15s came close to a glider over the Black Mountains near Hereford.

Also, the link has a chart that details the near misses with both military/militiary and military/civilian near misses from 2013-2016.

Wouldn't that be a near hit not a near miss? I mean a near miss to me means that the thing was hit... right?

Well, they have been calling it a "near miss" in the article:

More than 1,000 near-misses have been reported to the UK Airprox Board in the past five years, of which about 360 have involved UK or US military aircraft.

One of the most serious happened in January when two F-15s from RAF Lakenheath came within 50m (150ft) of an RAF tanker plane.

Hey, I'm not the one accepting improper terminology.

[Speaker to Animals]

Dude, it's called a near miss.

It's a miss and the two aircraft are near one another.

You realize that an airplane can be 1/2 a mile apart from each other and they would call that a "near miss".

Logically though nearly missing means they hit. Not another man-made bullshit we teach people.
