Thanks very much for these two articles. I was waiting for your comments on the Chinese spy balloon story. To me it seems a typical example of the goofy or awkward or inappropriate way in which the Big Advanced China tries to step out into the world stage but still manages to do something off. I think that has been a theme in comments from the West on prior Chinese episodes of big bluster while leaving something missing. I think the world moves on.

On the Austin story, that seems flat out a mistake by Austin sur traffic control, right? And heroes being the Southwest pilot.

Jim, as a retired FedExd (and USAF) pilot I appreciate your contributions to both air and world security. This is the first time I read that it was a Cat III approach. Makes the entire situation all the more serious
