    Naval Officer's Sword

    I was lucky enough to get my grandfather's sword passed down to me. My dad had it before me and my grandfather got it when he graduated from the Academy in '39. It's pretty kick ass. I also have his giant shoulder boards (old, old, old style) and weird two pointed cover (cant think of the name)...

    API and NFO Primary selection

    I'm not a big fan of water going up my nose either so I wasn't looking forward to the dunker. It really wasn't a big issue. Until the dunker is completely upside down, you can keep your head at an angle to keep the water from going up. When I was upside down, I just blew out my noise...

    Pilots & Watches

    Cool video. Watching that video reminded me of one of the many fun things to do in a J3. You would throw a long piece of toliet paper out the window and then see how many times you could cut it with the wing. You became a pro at wingovers.

    E-6's Anyone

    In my primary class, im the only Navy guy who wants to put jets as their first choice. As e6bflyer said, most of the guys here are married. They bought a house hoping to be in one place for over a year (api+primary+advanced).

    What I learned on my trip through O'Hare and Frankfurt

    I had a real rough flight when I flew from little rock to houston to atlanta on new years day. I had a baby next to me on one leg and a partially deaf kid on the next leg who loved to make noises he could hear....but was twice as loud to me. And of course all of this was mixed with a nasty...

    Flying w/a cold

    Why Pilots Get Flight Pay.

    I think these are the correct pictures. I had them on my computer. (See Above - nittany03) Speaking of the F7U, I have this video of one with a nasty landing. I think him and the LSO didn't get along too well.... video

    VFR Flight Plan Route of Flight

    I usually just put "direct" in the route section for any VFR xcountry. Its mainly there so if you don't show up at your scheduled time, they know where to look. You should still have checkpoints planned out so you can tell if you are on time or not. By direct, I mean to each of your...

    T-34a

    I had 780 hours going into primary and my first 4 fams sucked. A turboprop T-34 is going to behave a lot different then a piston model (i have flown both). Everything other then basic airwork will be different then civilian flying too. If you want to work on something, sit in the back, put a...

    Logging T-34 time

    As long as you have the same category and class (Airplane Single Engine Land) rating, you can log PIC. It might not mean you can 'act' as PIC, but you can still log it as such. Every flight I have done in a S2B or a Malibu has been 'PIC' but there is no way I could act as one.

    and im back....

    Wake up, go on base for about 3 hours, come home, take a nap, and then study. Thats how it has been for the past 4 weeks. The first 2-3 weeks is a little more busy with groundschool and ep sims. During that time I was on base from sunrise to sunset usually. I have only stood watch once so...

    Small jet and glider collide near Carson City, NV

    I guess since im a glider guy, i will speak up.. As said above, a glider can go up to 18k without any restrictions (talking to atc, transponder, etc.). It is common for gliders to do this especially out west with all the ridge and mountain wave action. If a glider wants to go above 18k...

    Primary Training Locations

    I actually requested corpus but got whiting. At first I wanted to change it, but after seeing how much of pain it was to move and having most of my friends at whiting, i was happy. I waited 6 weeks to start api but that is changing due to the summer flood of ensigns at pcola. TW5 is saying...

    Plane Crash in KY

    I understand and I have done it before too. But...to be starting the t/o roll and not realize the different runway pattern, length, etc. takes a lot more distractions then normal.

    Plane Crash in KY

    The shorter runway is in full view. Larger airplanes have to taxi across the shorter runway to the longer one (like the one is doing in the pic). They must have been really distracted in the cockpit. (just assuming...)

    From all the hurricane tracks I have seen and with it still being this far out, it never hits the predicted route. So thats a good sign for pcola....i hope

    One of my friends in Daytona had a beach condo. The building held just fine, but the windows didn't, and the parking garage got flooded. He didn't own one dry thing afterwards.
