Yeah, he is tracking the plane to his left and the plane ahead and above, the plane to his right is tracking him.  Tremendous trust obviously.  And the normal turbulence at that altitude would make this incredibly challenging for any normal person.  They did this for 40 minutes.  

Of course, they land on carrier decks too.

My CFI and I used to joke about landing our Cessna on a moving carrier headed into the wind, we'd have to be giving it throttle to keep up.

We usually touched down 40-45 knots or so.  A carrier headed into a 30 knot headwind going flat out would generate an air speed of 70+ knots.

Marcus I finally sat down on the new Dell the other day to see why it was running so slow.  I discovered that it was trying to run all my files through Microsoft One Drive and of course my one drive was full at 5 GB.  I don't remember activating this setting but of course I did load my Microsoft Account onto the computer (I still use my hot mail account from the 90's of course) and I guess this is a default setting.  

I uninstalled one drive since I prefer to back up my docs elsewhere and that pretty much solved it.  It still freezes on occasion, especially on wake, but overall the computer is much faster.  It still peeves me that something like this could happen.  Shouldn't the software have enough "sense" that it knows that not only is one drive full but it's slowing the whole thing down?  I blame MS as much as Dell but it's kinda like a great car with a good motor and bad transmission. I filled out one of those customer satisfaction survey's a few days ago and let Dell know of my unhappiness.  

I guess I'm old school.  I'll use the computer as a local station and upload to the cloud whatever I deem necessary, not default to the cloud and then use my computer as a local terminal.

Oh yeah, OneDrive is a pain.  We use it at work, alongside Teams.  It's a native install on my system from the corporate image and it's maintained by our corporate IT, so I do have recourse when it screws up. But it still manages to tank me about once every couple of weeks.

Glad you at least got that bit cleared up.  For my personal stuff I'm kind of the opposite of you, I back everything to the cloud and just let 'er rip.  We maintain all of our family photos and videos through my wife's Dell XPS so I'd hate to lose any of that stuff.

I have it set to automatically back up certain drives/folders, and not others.  One-off stuff like to do lists never go into an important folder.

Texas Longhorns athletes are requesting the removal of "The Eyes of Texas" as the school song and changes to names of campus buildings in an effort to make the Austin campus more inclusive to the black community.

Without these changes, athletes said they would practice and participate in team activities but "will not be participating in the recruitment of incoming players or other alumni events."

"The recent events across the country regarding racial injustice have brought to light the systemic racism that has always been prevalent in our country as well as the racism that has historically plagued our campus," the athletes said in a statement, which was shared by several students on social media.

amazing

I really dont think we will be dropping the Eyes of Texas but hay it doesnt hurt to ask

Id say dont let the door spank your butt on the way out

ya know, if giving up "the eyes" would magically fix the race issue on campus, it would be worth it

but, it won't
