P-8 Selection

[Criminal]

*** P-8 static display, tomorrow afternoon, NAS P'cola. ***
Not sure of the times, heard a few versions, but early afternoon.
I have no other info.
Would like to go but can't. Let us know how it is.

Perhaps sir, but all the VP bubbas/bubbettes will know you weren't part of the VP pain train

Pain train...I like it. I guess those trains came in all shapes and sizes...

BzB

I guess that's between them and their Chaplains...

We rode up there around 1130, they told us it was cancelled. Anyone in the know think it'll be rescheduled? Or was it just late?

We were instructed that it was pushed back one week. Same bat time, same bat place.

It was actually weather related and a still, somewhat restricted, flight envelope for the VX birds . . . . .

The risk cube for the onboard ATM machine is still red. Need more time to develop the proper mitigation strategy . . .

Did you get to go inside and look around?

 

[wlawr005]

Yes, no pictures though. New car smell, awesome flight deck, and plenty of room in the back to throw a kegger for your favorite friends while en route.
