Still trying to verify information about this incident involving a Jambojet Q400 that seems to have rolled into the flagpoles at the VIP state pavillion at JKIA. Interim info indicates it was parked overnight with no chokes and no brakes engaged, which sounds unbelievable.

President William Ruto has ordered the cancellation of the proposed JKIA - Adani PPP concession. A similar deal involving an Adani related firm with electricity transmission company KETRACO also stands cancelled.

The biggest technology challenge remaining for Starship is a fully & immediately reusable heat shield. Being able to land the ship, refill propellant & launch right away with no refurbishment or laborious inspection. That is the acid test.

Not sure if it still exists, but we used to fly KQ B737 and 767 from Kinshasa to Brazzaville—crossing that river. The shortest, most intense flight ever, I think it was 10 minutes. Take off, gear up, and before you exhale—gear down for landing. High speed + heavy workload = no…

Kinshasa 🇨🇩 and Brazzaville 🇨🇬 are the closest capitals in the world but citizens of the two Congos need visas to visit each other. There’s no bridge or tunnel connecting them even though they’re literally the same people
