    Terminology Questions

    All CAG's these day's are Captains (since the mid-eighties IIRC) A blackshoe may call an Aviator an Airdale, I would never, nor have I ever heard, an Aviator call another Aviator an Airdale.

    PICTURE CALL: All VT-86 Aircraft

    I suspect you have this one since it was sold at the mess and came with the primary grad and I know it's VT-10 centric but we shared the T-47's. The original is 8x10. I do have some small TA-4 one's I'd have to scan but not sure how suitable they would be for larger.

    Shoe thrown at POTUS (Bonus: find Waldo, er DDan, in the crowd)

    That was my thought. Try that a few years back with Saddam and you would be hanging from your thumbs with your balls in your mouth. Welcome to freedom. You're welcome.

    Michelle Rhee - America's future in her hands?

    The national mall is not DC IMO. The crap that surrounds it is. The museums are great and DC certainly has some good restaurants and bars but those can be found in lots of other places and better ones too. My wife lived in DC when we dated for two years and I must have seen all of it at one...

    Michelle Rhee - America's future in her hands?

    Hell, they like the crackhead Berry so much they continue to elect him as a city councilman. Aside from the Metro system, DC is damn near a wasteland of anything good and I've spent more than enough time there and close to there to know what I'm talking about.

    Stupid questions about Naval Aviation (Pt 2)

    F/A-18D question I tried to post this earlier and it apparently didn't take. Didn't want to hijack the mishap thread with my query. How often is a Delta flown single pilot? Can the front seat handle all the weapon systems? Do you need both crew for a PMCF?

    No thumbdrive?!? How do I get any work done?

    It's the nature of using firewalls incorrectly. We have one here that has over 4000 rule sets. Why they think they can manage that I don't know.

    If NMCI is using the Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) and an DISA/NSA approved configuration of Active Directory then by Group Policy for Windows XP and Vista the USB's should be software disabled by Domain and Client Group Policies.

    No thumbdrive?!? How do I get any work done?

    Malcious code on removable media is a real concern and in this day and age of netwar it may not be "just" a virus so Antivirus software is not the whole solution. They do need to figure out some sort of workaround to enable work to get done. Shared on-line resources available from internal...

    Evil Black Rifle question

    That would be the Patapsco and there is a fair amount of bow hunting it anyways. Have to get west of 15 or out on the eastern shore for a centerfire to be legal for deer.

    Evil Black Rifle question

    You mean I have to limit myself to one type of gun? ;) My M-4 is fun. I enjoy the light recoil and shooting with a peep site again. Ammunition is relatively cheap and I'm saving the brass and eventually will reload for it. I also shoot hi-power silhouette with a bolt action .308, hunt with...

    Seeking advice on that first handgun or next weapon purchase? Ask AW!

    If you're hunting in IA isn't that a slug or muzzleloader only state? The .223/5.56 round is perfectly legal in many states (where centerfires are allowed) for deer and it is adequate for most shots however you need to ensure that you use a big game bullet and not a varmint bullet when...

    VAQ-33 and 34 both flew EA-7L's and one of my female classmates flew them with 33 down in Key Weird. VAQ-33 also flew Whales and EA-6A's at the time in the electronic adversary role. 34 flew Whales and EA-7's out of Magu. For the most part the sole loadout of the EA-7's carried AST-6 radar...

    Flash, Invoking the "I know it when I see it" wrt firearms is as insane as it is with porn. Just because you or "them" think it might be dangerous is no reason to restrict their ownership. My experience is that people that go to the expense/trouble to own stuff like this don't use them for...

    Your arguments are hollow and you know it. If they get both the presidency and the legislature and insert their favorite picks into the Supreme court you will see just how quickly all sort of "reasonable" controls they will put forth. Mark my words.

    They'll certainly go for both. I'd get the lower for an AR (the part with the serial) then buy a used high cap semi-auto pistol and with whatever is left over buy AR parts like high cap a magazines.

    U.S. pilot was ordered to shoot down UFO

    Well, I'll let a RIO argue that point but to me "locking on" means the sync of the targeting system and weapon system.

    U.S. pilot was ordered to shoot down UFO

    That's the point he was subtly making. Rockets are unguided, missiles are guided. The F-89, F-86D and 102 all had arrays of rockets to shoot into the horde of invading Bisons, Bears and Backfires (Oh my)
