Thursday, May 20, 1926. Trains and Planes.

President Coolidge signed the Air Commerce Act providing for the licensing of pilots and commercial aircraft.  He also signed the Railway Labor act abolishing the Railroad Labor Board.

The Air Commerce Act provided for an  Aeronautics Branch within the U.S. Department of Commerce to implement and enforce regulations and is depicted as a story element in the film The Great Waldo Pepper.  The film accurately portrays the role of the Aeronautics Branch in brining barnstorming to an end.

1930 photograph by Ernst Udet, German fighter pilot in World War One and Luftwaffe officer during World War Two, upon whom the movie character Ernst Kessler is based in the movie The Great Waldo Pepper.  Udet was a barnstormer in the 1920s.

Frontier Passengers File $10 Million Claim Against Denver For Failing To Stop Runway Suicide

Seriously?

That should be tossed out and sanctions levied against the lawyer who filed it.

 This is such an odd story that its clear there's more to it.  Why was a person on the runway?

U.F.O. Files Released by U.S. Shed Light on What the Government Knows

M'eh. 

I continue to be massively underwhelmed.

And at this point it's hard not to view any Trump administration release of anything as more than a mere distraction.  War going badly, fuel prices through the roof, airlines dying, and then there's those Epstein files. At this point it wouldn't surprise me if Trump pushed Melania off the White House roof it it distracted for a few days.
