Some of you already alluded to it.Its a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation ...
So with all the A/C that they couldn't hangar at Whiting up in Nashville, what are the odds on my early am brief tomorrow? Any takers?
Because I prefer this approach ... ???.... getting frothed in some righteous rage .... fist-shaking irritation ...
All right. I'll have to give it to you that it does feel better.:icon_winkBecause I prefer this approach ... ???
Can't speak for where/when the whiting birds are, but when I stopped for gas in Ft. Smith AR last night on my way back from Boston, it was mobbed with Navy T-6s and SNFOs.
When I and the other pilot walked into the FBO discussing coming up with a flight plan to get back to NQI from FSM we saw an AF SNFO sitting on the couch looking like someone had shot his dog. I pointed at him and jokingly said "HE CAN DO OUR FLIGHT PLAN".
I thought the AF Weenie was about to shit himself and he was looking for the shortest escape route from the 2 LTs who had just walked in.
It's pretty mean to pick on a dude with about 10 hours of flying (total), but damn, that is funny.
SDO just informed me that all flights were canceled for tomorrow (tuesday)
Nice. Flight Leader just informed us the entire flight schedule is a go for tomorrow(tuesday).
Looks like you P'cola/Whiting guys aren't totally out of the woods yet, Hanna just became a Cat I. Looks a bit east at the moment, but it will be interesting to see what effect (if any) a dissipating low (Gustav) over the TN river valley has on it's track. There is also a strong disturbance west of the Cape Verde islands which looks like it might become something....
Edit: I guess JAX is probably first in line for this one...
I'd be more worried about Beaufort MCAS and Parris Island.
