  2. Some more shots of the Howard 500 I saw at the Stead Airport north of Reno, Nevada. It had been moved out of the way for fire tanker operations. The plane is one of two airworthy Howard's.

  8. How many felonies for hijaking the WiFi for an airplane and gather passenger data without consent? A lot:
