Disclaimer as I worked for a tier 1 supplier to Boeing and fed the 737 line with avionics boxes army previous employer. A whole bunch of our avionics boxes used those archaic processors and support architecture. We did that because recertification of newer hardware was insanely expensive and time consuming. Now Southweston it's own is a cluster fuck no matter what hardware and aircraft they use. I haveflown them one time and have no desire to do so again, even with the "two free checked bags" they offer.

Comment Re: They scrapped the VOR systems (Score 1) 41

Up until about six months ago I worked for a major commercial avionics manufacturering company that was still building VOR units for Boeing and Airbus. EOL for the VOR product line was still a few years away when I left. That was mainly due to the part obsolescence issues and a high cost of redesign.

2nd amendment? I think you need to read up about Texas. They are NOT the 2nd amendment friendly state everyone thinks they are, an example is if you even show the FAINT OUTLINE of a concealed firearm you can be arrested, loose your carry permit, and go to jail. Do not even mention open carry of a firearm or you will get hassled badly by law enforcement. However if you go to just about any of the surrounding states they don't care so much about carrying a firearm. Texas is set up to keep the "undesirables" in their place, and keep the "right" people in power.

Cite please. I happen to know a gunsmith and an attorney who will gladly argue with you on this. You can build your own gun out of any material as long as YOU are the person it is being built for, and it is not being built with the intent of resale. I don't even know where you get the crossing a state line from, that is NOWHERE in any law I have found. The only thing I see about crossing state lines is if you have a Title II machine gun/destructive device you have to have a signed permission slip, or if you are selling to a resident of a different state you need to go through an FFL in the buyers state of residence.
