NK1300 and AF1 had a bit of an "encounter" today-- ATC was reportedly yelling at NK1300 to get their attention to get them to alter course. Not sure it was a "close call" at all, but since AF1 involved.. I tend to believe the yelling part.

Thanks to @petchmo.bsky.social for his help in..

Russia continues to celebrate the Putin-Trump call. Today’s Russian papers: β€œTrump’s stance couldn’t be more advantageous to Moscow.” β€œTrump is our ideological partner.” Another paper tells European leaders: β€œJust breathe in the smell of the new world order.” #ReadingRussia

An average of 10 of my Voice of America colleagues per day in the past week have been receiving letters informing them that their contracts will be terminatedβ€œfor convenience.” As of today more than 50 of these outstanding VOA journalists on personal service contracts have been fired. #SaveVOA
