    Pretty sure this is from an AFSOC demand signal coming out after the exciting day in Bor.

    All things MV-22 Osprey

    The "a lot" of your comment is dwindling with the continuous inundation of "purebreds" (read: not phrog transitions). That being said, pilots that did fly the phrog like PhrogDriver who transitioned a while back, have had the time to rack up time and experience and they are most certainly not...

    Just Selected MV-22...now what?

    Yes there is all that stuff (ebookbag, syllabus stuff, gouge, etc.). When you guys get through review stage in C-12 land, PM me and I will send you some stuff to get you started. Right now just worry about down right idle turn....

    We actually got one semi-good pass out of those. 10 plopters in parade echelon is a pain in the ass. There's a pic of us in rotoview at LZ Falcon - looked like apocalypse now. Posted with iPad tapatalk

    Pm me when you get closer to 204. There's some good gouge out there. There's been some geeks go through since I went through. Posted with iPad tapatalk

    AT-6 excluded from Light Attack Aircraft

    We had literally that entire list of flavors you just listed in a stack during a few missions in OEF and add a Harvest Hawk, B-1 for a SOF, and a EA-6B for buzzer - it was a 'MERICA V-diagram to say the least. I think you could have replaced most of the overlapping assets with a section of...

    Nice! Couple of us bought them while in afg. Great piece of gear. Now all you need to do is get with a motivator at MAWTS and you'll have your own paragraph in an SOP. ;)

    Yeah I heard about that. Wasn't us and I dont know what their reasoning was for not takin studs. We'll prob get that frag next year tho and bring some fence riders over to the Dark Side.

    Aww come on Spanky you cant give my Blue Knights any love for their first official static display at KPNS? Shit, the Assassin himself was on deck. p.s. - we were the Osprey in the back next to the Battle Banana

    Did you guys get any Osprey love this year? We were gonna try to make it but had other frags to cater to.

    MIA A4sForever?

    I think he would laugh if we started speculating as to what he's up to - we all love a good BS session. Allow me to start... He has actually started his own airline in the south pacific. The flight attendants are all personally selected from Thailand...

    Beef up the gear, give it Beta and stamp an EGA on the side. Add the .50cal pods and you got your modern day Sandy. I'm in.

    One of my good college buddies. I pinned his silver bar. Shitty couple of weeks for aviation. Funeral is tomorrow. RIP Tom. You will be missed.

    Reno racer down

    Jim Leeward was a personal friend of my family. My heart sank when I heard there was a crash in Reno, I immediately thought of him. He was the missing man in the P-51 flyover at my grandfather's funeral in Ocala, a flyover that he arranged and forcibly made happen in direct opposition to many...

    Website Problems, post here if you notice any glitches

    Been out of pocket for a while in a high op-tempo sqdn. Was there an attempt to get AW re-approved on NMCI? We (USMC) are transitioning soon to the old MCEN (Marine Corps Enterprise Network) and it might be allowed on that but until then...any word?

    Pilots requested for operations on new online network

    I would be interested, although I don't think that the MV-22 is fully modeled in any of those FS programs.

    Lifestyle MV-22 Osprey Pilot?

    Sorry I cant buy into any of your BS. Too much front loading too soon equals red flags. Spread load and you may get different results. Until then, back to my popcorn. P.S. - Start by halting a reply to this post before you even start (see below).

    Got some friends in all the operational squadrons (to include KNKX) as we have all tracked together and hit the fleet around the same time. If you find out his name, PM me and Ill put you in contact.

    F-35B/C Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter)

    Never mind... OV-10x is/would be a first choice for a multitude of logical reasons but short of it being a proverbial "phoenix" rising from 16 year old ashes, I doubt you could persuade the upper echelon to act on it at this point.

    F-35B/C Lightning II (Joint Strike Fighter)

    Ok this might be an unorthodox idea, but it’s outside the box so hear me out. We're debating an issue with the JSF on whether or not it is even feasible to continue to develop when there are cheaper more proven options out there, i.e. Rhino as the interim solution and the AT-6 and Super-T as a...

    VT-31 or VT-35?

    Bogus. Dont know where you heard that one, but the Marine IPs there now include 3 -46 drivers and an old harrier driver. One tried to put in for the transition but was too senior. The others never wanted it and are working on going other places after their IP tour.
