Our democracy thrives on freedom of speech, the ability to critically assess ideas and scrutiny by high quality journalism. In an age where conspiracy theorists seek to frighten and mislead the public, these things matter more than ever.

🇬🇧 That's the challenge

@ChiefofAirStaff

faces between now and the end of June. Get his RAF A400M fleet above 75% flying, after the RAF was dragged in the mud by a classified opportunistic leak showing much of his A400M fleet doesn't fly. I think they can pull it off.

Replying to @MilRotors

Agreed, which I think the classified leak last week portrayed. Over the next weeks I'll publish the numbers as the Hercs are put out to pasture. I think the A400M numbers will steadily increase, and by watching regularly the public will see the RAF do have this under control.

🇬🇧 RAF Voyager operations continue at a frantic rate, only #ZZ336 #43C6F9 seems to be undergoing maintenance, meaning 92% of the fleet flies regularly (keep your eye on #ZZ337 #43C6FA tho)

🇬🇧 Only RAF C-17 Globemaster (#ZZ172 #43C172) hasn't flown for over a month; it's probably undergoing indepth maintenance. 88% of the fleet is regularly in the air.

🇬🇧 RAF C-130J Hercules #ZH869 #43C198 was sent to Cambridge 🇬🇧 to be decommissioned, bringing the number of Hercs remaining to 5, all of which are flying regularly, except #ZH870 #43C04C hasn't flown in a week.. maybe they're next? 🪦 + No coverage of the Herc flight to Benghazi.

In Elon's case, his aircraft travel is very predictable and publicised, so it's not really hard to track him based on behaviour alone. The PIA program is an FAA money pit that's made some consultants very rich, and Americans no safer from a skilled adversary.

However, the statement in the article that using the PIA program makes it "essentially impossible to figure out whose plane it is" is nonsense. It requires different methods and skills but it's absolutely nowhere near impossible; it's entirely dependant on their pattern of life.

@lemonodor

Elon said that his jets could not be tracked without using non-public data–without ever saying what that non-public data was. But it seems that he simply didn't finish enabling the FAA privacy feature that would have actually made his jets hard to track. vice.com/en/article/7kx
