Worth the repost! I too have never seen prior. Thx. Edit *Credit due to markdido for posting the clip earlier today as well.

Have you tried/heard of Sharpie "Industrial Super Permanent"? On the marker is says "Specially formulated ink for industrial, laboratory, and or commercial use. REMAINS permanent under most chemical washes and extreme heat and steam (up to 500 deg. F) I'm not sure how common they are in the...

This doesn't directly answer the question with regards the C & D Hornets, but shows the potential longer range range plans for Rhino. Per Aviation Week & Space Technology, it looks like the Super Hornet will be around for some time, at least until 2030. Software updgrades, AESA, net-centric...

I'll second that. I got a good laugh out this one too. The whole quote was pretty solid, but the punch line did it for me. ...Good stuff. I gotta bail, no comment on this debate (other than pulling out would be a mess) :D

Update: Royal Marines ride Apache wings to rescue buddy Additional Article w/pictures Marines strap themselves to chopper for daring rescue These are the astonishing images of the moment four heroic Royal Marines set off to rescue a fallen comrade - strapped to the wings of two Apache...

As with the 60B, I believe the Apache main transmission is rated to run dry for 30 min. In a similiar event as above (wish I could remember the unit), they indeed tested the limits. After taking rounds to the tranny, they flew it dry for 27 min. :eek:

Retake the test! My initial thought immediately after I took the ASTB was that it was questionable if I could have done better. However, after another long series of studying sessions, I would imagine that it would reinforce any info that didn't stick your first time around. If you need math...

Nope, can't view the pics either. I logged in to my yahoo account, altered the cookies setting on my computer, still no pics. Skeeter, can you repost somewhere else? Thx.

This is essentially what I was getting after in my original post. I didn't know of that relatively basic web search function which limits all returns to hits within a given site, [site:airwarriors.com "stuff to search"]. It works well, and does indeed highlight the search criteria where it...

Thanks, but any of the search results I select from Google or Live Search that are hosted on the Naval Safety Center site require logon credentials. :irked_125 (I'm a civi)

Is it possible to enhance the search function capabilities of AW? When searching, a great number of results are often returned for a given search criteria, however it takes quite a bit of labor to sift through them. Despite the advanced search functions, and selecting to display posts instead of...

How/where can I access or get a hold of back or current copies of Approach? All web search returns required logon credentials for the Navy Safety Center..

Good comment, and unfortunately these days we are seeing more and more of this kind of garbage. I live in an area that never has shootings and where crime is very low. However about two weeks ago a young man was shot walking through a upper middle class neighborhood. Three individuals pulled up...

That's an affirmative, however they are not yet operational I believe. No point in responding/debating many of the accurate points that have been brought up in Apache vs. Cobra mission profile, employment, tactics, etc. No doubt the Marines utilize their aircraft a bit differently, and yes...

Any quick thoughts on why the Marines haven't been interested in the AH-64D...the best attack helicopter in world? (I'm sure this will be/has been debated). The Marines considered the Alpha model long ago, but went the way of the Cobra instead. Despite the potential argument for an improved...

Did anyone provide education on the typical tire blowouts beyond being told to pick up Approach magazine?? I can appreciate the point that Mefesto and others are supporting here… If were in your shoes I would almost certainly have the same opinions, however at times perhaps bit more tempered...

Thread drift... ^ Nailed the answer to my next question, somewhat. - Of the many factors that lead to blow outs, what are the leading culprits? - What impact might a largely pilot induced mishap-smaller incident, have on his career (despite the many potential contributing factors)? What impact...

In the first picture before touchdown, does something look a little off...? Am I seeinig a wind sock behind and just left of the nose gear...and if I'm reading things correctly, wouldn't they have been landing with a pretty stiff tailwind component, and with a lot of flaps no less? What the hell...

^^ Sweet. Let the fun begin...:icon_smil ....Bueller, Bueller. (Damn, the good posts just keep disappearing... :))

This reminds me of several posts a few days ago that I think were canned...could you guys post those two web sites again...:icon_lol: And watching Brett and (and Mefesto) have at the aftermath would be priceless.

This show sounds great, tell them to air it on the standard Discovery Channel! :D

So it is well established that one should go to Pensacola w/o a significant other, etc. However for clarification, and assuming your SO is understanding and supportive of your flight training (meaning she won't be giving you sh!t all the time), is the main reason for gowing alone that your time...

^^ Good find, pretty cool. I hope though that when using "Bird's Eye View," they create greater ability to navigate the image and zoom out. It seems that there exists essentially only two zoom modes (+ & -), both of which are quite close in. Anyone tried using the 3D Map/View function?

Damn, this was a good thread :D CaptainRon, just sit back and let your BDCP checks roll in, and whenever a thought/question enters your head, GOOGLE IT! Spend some detailed time reading over the search results, and then go camp out at Barnes and Noble and check out all aviation books. If not...

CNN seems to be the first with story... "Aircraft carrier stuck in New York City mud" POSTED: 12:05 p.m. EST, November 6, 2006 http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/06/ussintrepid.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories There is quite a bit of history within that ship. Hopefully I get the...

Check out http://www.sigarms.com/Products/ShowCatalogProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=33&productid=108 Nope, no safety on the SP2022, and a federal agency or two as well as the military have procured it.

Have you looked into the Sig Pro 9mm (SP2022)? I would say it qualifies as a medium frame pistol. It is smaller than the P226, however slightly larger than the P229. As it is a polymer frame pistol, you'll save a couple ounces if you are considering carrying it, and it is also cheaper than the...

$2,000- $3,000 a month!! :eek: Why the hell didn't I figure out what I wanted to be (hope to be) before I forked out my own hard earned money for college and a roof over my head! (And not to mention the couple bucks it cost for my PPL) BDCP, sounds like it sure is the way to go...

All the great posts in the current thread "Scariest Day/Night Flying" got me thinking, and I wasn't able to find any answers via a quick AW search or google. Has anyone surpassed LT.Col. William H. Rankin's record setting (at the time -1960) 40 -some minute descent after ejecting at 47,000ft...

I just said that ^, refreshed the page, and there it was. Holy ****! :eek:

To add on to what others have said, torque and especially adverse yaw can be quite significant in extremely slow flight when nearing max angle of attack and stall speed. A signficant amount of right rudder and moderate 'right' aileron are needed to maintain coordinated flight (aside from pitch)...

Dido. I was waiting for someone to ask. (and hopefully have it already answered). :) P3 To Apache, do share..

All unanswered questions count against you (zero points out of X possible). Do not leave any blank. If you are taking the computer version you will have the option to flag questions and return to them later (you can return to any question within the same section before time elapses). However...

Partial thread jack... My ignorance aside, but what happened with the crew (possibley EA-6B) that clipped a ski lift cable in Europe a couple years back unfortunately resulting in loss of life? I don't enjoy hearing about the possibility of a rush to "justice" in foreign countries...

That they do. I'd be curious to know how many they have (TPS), but I do know they have at least one.

We need more of these stickers/graphics floating around. Does it trully make sense that Airbus as been regarded as the number one commercial aircraft manufacturer for the last several years running? Last year Boeing topped Airbus with the total dollar value of orders received, and yet Airbus...

Ouch. ...But perhaps that's why we tend to hear the not too uncommon phrase, "A4s for President." Despite my newbie posting status, this is generally a military Aviation forum. ...Good stuff. However to the thread's original poster, if you never give your dream a shot, you likely might always...

I took the ASTB within the last two months, I agree, no calc on the ASTB. I studied quite a bit and still didn't complete the math portion of the test. I'd say in preparation give it a good effort, however at some point you aren't likely to greatly improve with continued practice on the math...

After narrowly missing the July Board myself, and having the August board slip right, I've been told it should happen the week of 11 Sept. I do believe the Marine selection boards are a totally different ball game.
