Buckle Up: A Different Flight Path This Week

12th Edition

Welcome to the Twelfth Edition of Airplane Mode - this week I’m balancing a family life, a career, a third baby on the way in a few short months, and trying to nurture relationships to various degrees of success all the while - as I'm sure many of you can relate to. This week will be brief on purpose, and just barely scratch the surface until next week when we go BIG! I only want to provide you with top-tier quality, and value and intrigue that you won’t find elsewhere. In order to do that - I need to hear what is relevant and salient and valuable to you in the context of aviation, or personal development. I would honestly love it if you take the poll below and tell me what you do NOT want to hear about. Is it a bad time to comment on this post, or send me an email or DM with your interests, as well?

Thank you for being here - this is a community of individuals across aviation and the community is growing, DAILY! We are going to have some community members on to chat in the coming weeks and months, so look for those video interviews in upcoming editions.

Airplane Mode is a weekly newsletter for the aviation community, with emphasis on Business Aviation, as well as the Business of Aviation, Leadership, M&A Analysis and Strategy, Advanced Negotiation Tactics, Financial Strategy and applying a Growth Mindset, amongst other topics that the aviation community finds relevant. If you're just here for kicks, that's fine as well.

Airplane Mode Dives Deep: The MH370 Mystery

Next week, we are going to dive off into an ongoing series. It will get weird, but it’s not without merit. With all respect to the families of the victims, the victims, and anyone else harmed by the tragedy of this missing aircraft and the weird trail it left behind, we will proceed to deep dive into some BREAKING developments in this case. It should be noted I have spent my entire adult life quietly observing strange phenomenon without much judgement, solely weighing claims (preposterous and otherwise) on their merit, and I will continue to do the same, you all are welcome to join.

If we are to walk this path together there are some ground rules I would like you to consider exercising that I have found particularly helpful emotionally and intellectually:

1. Judge the weight of the evidence.
2. Exclude casting doubt on personalities solely to discredit an entire theory, unless material to the weight of the evidence, or a piece of evidence.
3. Challenge existing frameworks and ideologies. Not for fun, to find the truth.

I hold to no particular opinion on MH370 at this time and I encourage others not to ostracize or ridicule others with varying opinions. There will be plenty of varying opinions - and that’s quite alright! Why am I writing on this topic? Extreme intrigue and I see the totality of the evidence and have a hunch there is far more to the story (as if that’s not obvious).

Let’s go! Next week - we all blast off on this rocket ship! This could be a turning point for our society🚀🔥

Start with the below. A screen recording of a Citrix session from someone who had access to the MQ-1C UAS that was recording MH370…. This is not a video of a video, this is a screen recording from someone with compartmentalized access. How would you capture a screen recording without getting caught? You wouldn't.. You'd go to jail. More on that in the weeks to come.

Ace Update

Ace doesn’t know what happened to MH370 - but he doesn’t need to, he knows the story will come out, it almost always does. Ace has read much of the founding fathers and subscribes to George Washington’s outlook on life at large, to include his thoughts on truth - "Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light."
