Which is a sad reflection of how people are today.

The no carry-ons are for those who only buy the cheapest tickets.

I have no problem with this, but I have never been able to use JetBlue. Carry-ons would not have been an issue if airlines were not trying to shoehorn so many passengers into the tube and actually enforced carry-on sizes to begin with.

Yet Cali can rely on neighboring states for power, and can't keep from having rolling brown-outs, even if they tell residents about it ahead of time. Go figure.

All politicians lie. Where have you been?

If Trump was Putin's friend as you say, then why was Russia's military buzzing US Navy warships or flying dangerously around US Air Force aircraft? Why did we have the need to send interceptors to escort the Tu-95 Bear" bombers that encroached on US airspace? Funny how that works between "friends."

White reflects light compared to other colors, which would help to heat up an aircraft, no matter the altitude.

I am fully aware of what has been used in the past, and how long contractors been flying against military pilots. With the fall of the Iron Curtain, it should be easier to pick up used Soviet Bloc aircraft from countries once behind it.

I most certainly do know how it works. A-4s and F-5s have been used in the past. One company used Lear jets for such. They moved to using 4 different aircraft, inluding an L-39, F1 Mirage, F1 KFIR and a MK-Hawker Hunter. We have aquired Soviet-bloc era aircraft as well over the years and are in active use. A PM article has an article about it even. https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a34427612/air-force-secret-soviet-fighter-jets-inside-story/

So American fighter pilots are going to be flying agaisnt US built fighters that do not fly like former Soviet block type fighters? Who thought that would be a good way to train? Hmmm.
