"Indio and Other Desert Cities" Eastbound on I-10, I passed a sign that I had not seen since 1997. It read, “Indio and other desert cities.” Back in 1997, I was crammed into a rental car with three other graduate students and our advisor driving from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, CA to present at the 45th American Society for Mass Spectrometry Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics.

I am subscribed to the Aviation101 YouTube channel that is provided by Josh Flowers. I have followed his passion for film making and his passion for aviation over the years. I enjoy his work, how he presents his content and the desire he exudes for safe flight. I am always trying to learn more about flying, from the simple reminders of check list use to the very important Aeronautical Decision Making process.

Alaskan Airlines Embraer 175 Photo credit ( [link] ) What could drive an off-duty pilot to sabotage the Alaskan Airlines plane’s engines? On October 22, 2023, a disturbing incident happened on an Embraer 175 flight from Everett to San Francisco. An off-duty pilot occupying the jump seat attempted to shutdown both its engines. This unusual incident raised questions about what drove this off-duty pilot to do such an irrational act.
