  1. Tracking flights is great fun and educational as well. Tracking flights in early 2020 was an eye opener for me with respect to how serious our government was taking Covid. We were all masking up (well, not everyone) and locked down, yet 2-3 flights a day from China to YVR were being allowed for about 6 months straight …some even from Wuhan. I did daily posts on incoming flights on this site. No quarantines on arrival…no testing, zip…nada. In essence, free range Chinese chickens wandering around Vancouver spreading their goodness to everyone else. That was when I realized we were being fed a big steaming pile of gov’t approved horse shit and still are.

    1. Of course they were heading to Canada! There was still lots of PPE to buy up and send back to the Motherland and/or sequester for the use of Chinese citizens abroad (I’m not kidding – the United Front Work guys were spotted handing out masks, etc. for free at a Richmond mall, but only to folks who could prove they were Chinese).

  2. Now speaking of spewing of fossil fuel gases…
    An interesting notice of when I checked in to a motel in Bradford this weekend for a funeral was on the room desk on the looking out for ‘Carbon Monoxide’ poisoning…which had me looking around at all the vehicles being parked in this heavily traveling area. Traffic in multiple lanes were heavy too…
    Fortunately this weekend they’re alot of wind movements which I am thankful for.

    It also had me wondering how many of this packed motel was immigrants being housed by the local politicians.

  3. It’s easy to see why this is the preferred travel of those we pay to be our betters.

    It was a distinct pleasure to fly on corporate jets a few times during my working career. It beat the alternative hands down. If only because it eliminated airport terminals.

    Arrive Ohio from Winnipeg – ICE comes aboard and checks passport. No line up or scanners. No removing belt and shoes.

    Arrive back in Winnipeg – tower radios “All Canadians?” That was the complete procedure.

    Another trip. Limo arrives next to plane. Luggage and clubs moved from plane to limo trunk. Limo drops us and clubs at golf course. Bags waiting for me in the hotel room. As buddy said, “I could get used to this”

  4. I’d rather buy all 400, and make their current owners walk to the next climate conference.

    Am I right that in thinking that I should set up my fundraising on GiveSendGo and not GoFundMe?

    1. Yup, buying Stingers would be cheaper than buying jets. ‘Reportedly’ there are plenty available in a certain part of the world right now.

  5. I’d much rather burn all the jets and force their passengers to return home without using fossil fuels or electricity derived from fossil fuels. A return to the days of sailing ships and horse drawn carriages might (I say might as the ecozealots are profoundly arrogant in their ignorance) make them examine their ideology.
