Nå finner Trump argumenter for å forsere byggingen av ballsalen i Det Hvite Hus og antakelig byggingen av triumfbuen ved Arlington. MAGA bevegelsen vil muligens styrke seg.
Formålet med bloggen er å bidra til informasjon om luftfart av alle slag. Også litt om ubåter og forsvarsspørsmål. Nyheter vil du finne her også, en del på engelsk som er det mest brukte luftfartsspråket.

Voldsomme endringer kan finne sted på kort tid, som også kan få innvirkning på forsvarsdisposisjoner. Det må kommenteres.
