Raptor Fly Over of Pro Bowl

...uhm... anyone else see that? I know the players take this event pretty casually, but c'mon - that was WIDE and LOOSE.

I guess every other T/M/S on Oahu was on their collective asses. The Raptor readiness was >80%, so they got the frag....kinda deflates F-22 haters in the process.

Too bad they couldn't get a light attack turboprop for the flyover.

But it was a flyover, and I recently learned (on this very website!) that performing a flyover validates everything about an airframe and the acquisition process behind it.

And since you are obviously a hater, I feel obligated to warn you against referring to it by any sort of nickname.

Edit: too slow, but I don't regret stopping to open a beer before I replied.

-2 looked out to lunch and -4 looked to be having a hard time by the way all those surfaces were flapping.

I like your priorities.

-1.You should have had your beer open already...or, at the very least, had Mrs. Bert open it for you.

Raptor haters? I'm missing an inside joke or there are some sensitive folks around here Poor form is poor form be it a Hornet, Hawkeye, Huey, or Herc...

It's a reference to the plopters over DC thread...

gotchya. regardless, the boys in blue looked bad.

Alright, I'll ask it:

Why the hell is anyone watching the Pro Bowl?

severe boredom - and it took me until know to realize there's a women's track meet on ESPN9.

You bypassed the dodgeball tournament on The Ocho?

While searching for a video of the Flyover from today, found this:

Sorry if it's a repost...what noise did that guy say the helos make?

WTF does he think I fly? A locomotive??

I would love to see a couple B2s do a fly over. Since I'm obviously a hater does anyone know if the Plopters have done any flyovers?

The C-5 flyover of the AFC Championship game was pretty awesome. If we're going to have to be slow and lame (per micromanagement from higher), at least we can be awesomely HUGE.

That's what she said.

Well played.

That flyover looked like complete dogshit.

I didn't think that size mattered but it was the motion in the ocean!

Is that what she said?

No, she was happy with the size and the motion, just ask her the next time you see her.

I keed, I keed.

Gentlemen, If you hear this ^ too often then it's probably a bad sign.
