I second what godspeed said. Nice post Also, I'm pretty sure this picture was taken in daytona. I recognize those mugs from adobe gilas.....

CQ...30 years apart My dad cq'ing in 1979 flying the F-4 on CVN-69 Myself cq'ing in 2009 flying the F/A-18 on CVN-68

I'll let you figure out the objects in the picture... This airline pilot solved the problem with heating food in a hotel room with no microwave.

Because the nfo's would come over to their ready room afterwards looking for the guy that caused them to have an unpleasant ride.

I was told that an easy way to tick off an E-2 NFO was to join up on them for the overhead. When the NFO sees a pointy nose through their peep hole, he knows that the pilot will try his best to improve his SHB skills...

Jease oh man!.....if it wasn't for a key west det leaving that weekend you would have myself and 7 other single guys from the charlie rag driving from lemoore to san francisco in a heartbeat!!!!!

"if you say uh? you'll be talking to yourself because I'll be gone!"

Dont be the dumbass who just put on JG and then puts down his date of comissioning instead of his date of rank. You might become the xo and then get told after you voice your mistake that its no big deal. LIARS!!! P.s. That dumbass was me.....

hey....in the near future i hope to be a fighter AND attack pilot! At least that's what I think f/a stands for right?? ;)

I was going through old pictures and came across this one. The older attack guys will probably understand this the most. This is on the weps room wall in vt-9. If you cant read line 6 due to the flash, it says attack-5 fighters-0

And the class before that "Oceana class" all got Lemoore/Miramar (aka my class). Its a very lovely cycle. If you are from 9, let me know who you are and who else is coming out here(pm me). I'll be seeing you around -125.

There are numerous Navy studs flying with -101 at Miramar. SERGRAD's get selected after they get winged and then spend a year with the squadron as an IP. It counts toward their commitment and they usually get their choice of coast/platform afterwards.

This is just your friendly reminder that the mini series starts tonight.

Did JD say this to the newbies to scare them.....

I 'heard' that there will be a T-45 form flyby to kick off the show. I'm sure they will have an ejection-seat-safe bird to hop into.

One of my friends picked up the callsign greyhound because he 'had' to ride the bus from key west to meridian. Its a pretty funny story but I'll let him tell it if he is up for it.

Supposedly it's an F/A-18 doing some 0'g rolls. Check out the altitude he recovered at... video

I was also on the TR for CQ last week. As ex rigger said, being out on the boat was the most amazing expierence of my life! Nothing can compare to that first trap and cat shot! My HUD tape is rated 'R' for all the crazy a$$ words I said. I cant wait to be done with acm and (hopefully) earn...

this it?

The checklist says if below 180 kts and 1500 feet you shall eject. If you are above 180kts but still below 1500 feet, you have options (which was the window these guys were in). You have the option to climb and try an airstart or do some fancy manv and turn back to land. After knowing what...

Call the base housing office. They can send you a long list of places for rent/sale. I recommend you find some buddies and rent a house. You can bank a lot of money.

They grabbed the long field gear around 60kts which was 1250 feet from the end.

First of all, this is not a video from any recent mishaps. This bird got chewed up late last year on an early Fam hop in good ole MS. The bird went down the intake after climbing past 1200' and somehow through their amazing skills and teamwork were able to bring the jet back. They landed...

Apparently this video was produced for the accident investigation. Not sure how accurate it is.

a couple feet behind the aircraft...

7:20.... Thats his normal 'calm' tone of voice in that short clip. I wish someone recorded my wep sim with him. I had a ringing (ring?) in my ear for the rest of the day.

There is also a private (kind of) lake that alot of students live on. It's a little out of the way from everything that Meridian has to offer. During the summer months, the lake is where the biggest population of studs would be (thats after pcola, bhm, jackson, etc of course...).

I was an aero sci major so if you have more specific questions, feel free to pm me. Here is my .02cents. As said before, get a degree in something that you want to do. Aviation has been a part of my life since the day I was born so when it came down to picking a major, I couldn't think of...

You should class up pretty quickly. You might wait 2-3 weeks at the most. Call the housing office at the base and they can send you a whole list of houses for sale/rent. Thats what I did so I dont know too much about apartments in the area (there are a bunch though).

I havn't had a bad expierence with the barber in the squadron spaces or the ones over at the nex

Video of a CH-53 with a hung nose gear. Pretty good teamwork to fix it. video

A couple of my friends who went to erau with me are 100K+ in debt. Both of them are close to getting their wings.

No, I have not met someone with all those examples at once......

the only thing that will automatically disqual you everytime is not trying (im being serious) There are people in the pipeline with all those examples above

Picture was taken yesterday for NAS Meridian's NAVY/army game spirit segment. A stud actually asked and borrowed a goat from a local family to help out in the segment. Picture came from navy.mil hi res link of above pic

around 350

the break at the numbers in a -45 is pretty interesting on fast break fridays... my first pass for my last phase one fclp solo wasnt that good (CHA CHING!)

the jet is climbing (max fuel flow) in the 6 min leg

It's a shame to hear that the Norfolk flying club went under. I had a lot of good times flying their t-34's with my dad back in the 90's. We flew out of langley too. I'll be sure to join the langley club if I go to Oceana.

Both pilots safely ejected http://www.caller.com/news/2007/nov/01/nas-kingsville-jet-down-lousianna/

dudeer, dude'r'reno....?

I did some cfi'ing on the weekends back in primary. The command (vt-2) didn't have any issues with it.

graduated in '06 from db with aero sci major

What kind of camera were you using?

I left Vt-2 back in March and at the time, it was a great squadron. The squadron had great instructors and the civilians with -2 seemed to enjoy their jobs (which made it easier for both sides...).

Back-in-the day during all that wonderful jet instrument training crap, we had to shoot min fuel and emergency fuel GCA's. A min fuel GCA meant you kept the jet clean till 30 sec prior to glideslope intercept. You got no special treatment and flew a normal box pattern. The jet wasn't wasting...

The unit i was in would usually find out before xmas. (mid to late dec.) This was for guys who were graduating in the Spring.

Interesting video. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a26_1190194748

When I was in vt-2 (sept06-march07), anybody with a private + instrument rating went on the accel program. I had my CFII so they put me on it (big surprise). I skipped the majority of BI events, one fam hop, and about half of the RI sims. If you had a bad hop, they took you off the program...

I knew a guy in primary who was in the same situation you are. He wanted P3's but the community was not taking anybody. He eventually went e6's so don't rule them out.
