Where have all the true leaders gone?

How many husbands got an elbow to the ribs during that little show?

Ok, let's say you didn't feel like getting into the charts. Do any of you helo drivers just bust out a quick power check? In other words, try holding a HOGE in a spot which allows a safe waveoff. If you can't hold that hover, you may need to re-evaluate. While in the nav it was all about the...

Hey Red, don't know what else I can say except what has already been posted. There is no comms requirement in a Class E for VFR pilots who remain in VMC conditions. That said, I know the controllers at this airport like to hear from me even on the clearest of days when I have no intention of...

Old? Damn, I think I started the same time you did and I don't feel old yet. At least I still ACT like an 18-year-old. That should count for something. Great article.

Offshore or not I still wonder what the CO thinks about it and if the pilot caught any heat. I'd frame the hell out of that picture though.

I have jumped on the grenade my fair share of times without the aid of an illusion. Sometimes it's your turn to take care of your shipmates.

This is the news I would rather have seen grace my television set. Nothing against Farrah. Thanks lame stream media. Seriously, they may as well just stand in line and piss on his grave. As Otto said, "...legendary Air Warrior" is right.

Outstanding start to my day.

More Sheriff's Stuff Most fun you can have with your pants on.

Firestorm Action Is it getting hot or is it just me?

Semper ME baby.

I was impressed with the LT in casual conversation mode while pulling 6-7 Gs. That is fitness.

Rare, Are there any LE agencies down that way with helicopters? No doubt they would hook you up. On request we have done them for retired LEOs, no big deal. I would have paid money to cover you on that one. Any idea how long his hospital stay would be? He did go to the hospital, right...

Never had those sims when I went through. Sounds pretty cool except for the having to type to turn left or right etc. As far as instructors yelling, maybe they should STFU!?!? There really is no need for that. I wouldn't mind being a visitor walking through, checking things out and seeing...

There is a tradition which I have tried like hell, with varying degrees of success, to keep alive called "Steak and Knobber Friday." I have found it works well with cold beer and the kids to bed early. The stress just melts away. I highly recommend it.

I gotta admit, I just walked around the make-believe traffic pattern in the living room while bouncing a tennis ball as I recited all my EPs. I think this kid is on to something. http://break.com/index/kid-freaks-out-and-fails-on-roller-coaster.html?matchid=?matchid= Too bad there wasn't a...

Damn you ahelwig. Now I have something caught in my eye too...again.

Well said Cowboy. Well worth the read. Thanks.

This should hit home for most of us but especially those with kids. I'd still like to thank all you guys who are still doing it. Now that I have kids, the thought of being away from them and the wife for that long would beat me down to parade rest...

Great post. Enjoyed the video. Is there anybody else who wishes we wouldn't continuously tell the world, and our enemies about all the cool stuff we can use to kill them? Not to say they wouldn't figure some of this stuff out but I would be content sitting in the dark and just knowing we are...

One San Diego Sheriff's fire/rescue helicopter, a Bell 205, with the help of a MD-530F with bambi bucket, worked the resulting fire all day today and the fire is still not completely extinguished. The Bell 205 will get back on the fire at the crack of dawn.

The little SOB who started all this.

Great purchase. Great gun. Dump her and buy another one with the money you'll be saving. Why have one when you can have several. Several what? What do you think.

Thanks all for the great responses. I have that little extra for the training I'll be doing. On a positive note, it looks like we will be starting to fly with dual controls in our aircraft for the patrol stuff. The "Carter Light" which was manually operated by a large handle which can...

I think I did something like that when my wife woke me up once. She is very careful when she does that now. Priceless. Thanks for sharing.

Agree. Pretty unlikely. Don't know why the time frame is that important to the story though. Just over a minute or 3 minutes. The damage done is the same.

Thanks to all for the replies. Schnugg, I'll see if I can get the BASH desk tomorrow. Adding to what Gatordev and exhelodrvr said, let me threadjack myself. At San Diego Sheriff's Aviation I think the visor issue may be more important to us than most because we typically fly in the single...

A shout out for some assistance with some training I will be giving in the near future. If there are any of you who have had a bird strike while flying and your visor has been a key factor in keeping you safe (at least your eyes) I'd like to hear about it. I want to continue to hammer home to...

It looks so intimidating. Surely it must be illegal for just that reason. Good purchase. I wish I had some extra cash. I'm itching for some additional zombie defense.

""He was not a bad spirit. He just made some bad choices." BS, he was excrement to the nth degree. Great job by the homeowner. I love hearing stories of good folk defending themselves with firearms.

There will be so many girls later in life but this will be your one shot at wings. Don't misplace your priorities. Don't have one girlfriend. Have many and have them often. Your mind doesn't need to be worrying about relationships at this stage of the game. My 2 cents.

Great find. Great response by the Captain.

I guess I would have been the only one in that crowd who would have gathered my friends/family and been heading quickly in the other direction until all moving parts had stopped moving. Good thing no parts flew into the crowd.

She can have my ass any time she wants it.

I generally have a disdain for most of the Hollywood crowd but a big thumbs up for Spade. I agree with some of the other posts. Actors make money to entertain and amuse us, like court jesters if you will. "Go ahead, make me laugh again." Some people play make believe. The sheepdogs go to...

I saw the F-18 escort of a bear from the deck of an unnamed carrier. Unfortunately, the first pass or two the bear(s) made over the unnamed carrier and the rest of the battlegroup were completely unescorted.

Sure it's fake. But how many more hits has the website killathrill.com gotten since this video has made the rounds? Publicity stunt which worked great I'm guessing.

I approve

Friend of yours Ned?

Joe, a little about yourself if you don't mind. I checked out your profile and... About Joseph123 Biography.Location.Occupation.Interests.Latest News Reminds me of Barrack HUSSEIN Nobama. The great unknown. Shred some light if you would. X

Funny. Never saw anything about this in the media. Go figure. Outstanding post. Glad he's on our side.

Cadet Vasconcelos. I'm guessing you have some outstanding parents? I concur with the above. Digest what you get here. These guys should be getting recruiting pay for what goes on in these forums. Much good info for the aspiring studs such as yourself. Keep your grades up there. Take on...

I concur on the gun safe. I bet most of the guys on my department who own firearms are considered felons due to not registering them a couple years ago. As the saying goes, "Registration leads to confiscation." If I were you, I would bring all your heavy artillery with you and thumb your...

Yeah, I thought this guy was ok until I learned he was a supporter of a convicted cop killer along with many of Hollywood's most left leaning crowd. http://www.academia.org/store/cop_killer_description.html http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=22524...

Seems like affirmative action (racism) to me. Why not concentrate on getting the best people for the position no matter what their race? Weak. Great way to weaken a country.

So much for our damn 2nd amendment. Sorry about that. That is complete BS. Military no less. San Diego and basically all of California is the same way. I don't see the sheriff in San Diego growing a pair any time soon. My father was ATF and I still say F the ATF. Feeling a bit better...

Ned, I have some pretty decent pictures I have tried to post for you but I guess the files were too large. Has that been fixed on your end to where they are accepted or automatically scaled down? S.

Well, after all this lively and informative discussion, let me say that every time one of those beautiful white, orange and black works of art comes ripping through the South Bay at 1000 feet sending me diving for cover as they make their position report over 123.10, I smile and remember the...

Thanks Nose.
