+1 I've never seen or heard of anyone getting "busted", or even a call, about speed the speed restrictions.... I have, however, seen people recently violated for many different things (i.e. turning left when they say turn right, Bravo clearance, air show stuff, etc). Usually it only involves a...

For the OTS FY12 Board....Here is how it broke down: 119 Pilot Selects 148 CSO Selects (kinda like an NFO) 45 ABM Selects (Air Battle Manager) 33 RPA Selects (UAV types)

You definitely sound like a douche....however there is hope... To be successful in your quest, you will need to totally overhaul your thought process. You can make excuses for the low GPA all you want, but the end game is that your merits will be based on someone else's perception of your total...

Interesting story about that particular airframe coming out of Honduras circa 1978... she was sitting alert at Tegucigalpa up until 1976 and a veteran of the Soccer War.

Rocky, from a pragmatic perspective you're right. However, my explosive-tipped arrows and crossbow would do the trick for the first wave.... my throwing tomahawk would merely be the coup de grace for the last wounded red coat running away.

I just use a throwing tomahawk for home defense. Nothing gets the point across (no pun intended) like a tomahawk to the forehead. :)

We had a couple shows with him this past season. Very sad, great guy.

Glad to be flying in your video! :)

Lobes or not... I'd still pee in her butt...er I mean hit that.

My understanding is that a short range clearance (assuming that's what you mean by 'instructions' that aren't a DP, etc) would be the same as the DVA... where ATC expects a 200ft/nm.

Haven't flown SWA in a while... but here's the strategy: Avoid boarding with the "A" group. Generally people in the A group spread out taking all of the emergency rows aisle and window. Remember that small children and families can board with the A group or before. Middle of the B group...

I think as a result of this, they should address his points of SWA not having anymore hot flight attendants.

Ha! I didn't say anything about hot teachers

:icon_long That's probably the most impressive thing I've seen on this forum. Did you have a bunch of chick teachers you were banging or something?

If you're going to be spending $5000 on beer... it should at least be really good beer:icon_smil

Did you get picked up by the Navy yet? If not, then your question is a smaller part of the bigger picture. If you enjoy flying and your "back-up" plan is to fly for a living, the instrument rating is a must. If you're applying to the Air Force, or specifically Air National Guard, it may help you...

I understand where you're coming from. Our fire department actually trained with us... somewhat... so they had a good idea about the ins and outs of what to do. Unfortunately, they just weren't good at it. Not many were competent swimmers. That wasn't what they were hired for though. They were...

I hear you, I just don't buy that no one was trained to do the rescue. It doesn't take that much know-how to pull someone in from chest-deep water... especially if there are multiple people around to help. It was so shallow that the Coast Guard boat couldn't even get in. One girl in her 20s...

That story was slightly complicated. The guy who drowned was in the act of committing suicide. He was also in chest-high water. A girl in her late 20's pulled him out. I can see the question of rescuing him because he was committing suicide... but policy... yeah I don't buy that. I was an ocean...

What do you think the long term reliability is of a 100/200 round magazine versus a belt fed box?

Think WI flies the Block 30, big mouth.. also think the last of the Block 30s were produced/delivered in 1989.

They're not bad airplanes... the other day @FL240, it was getting around about 140 gals/hr total. MX is hardly anything, and the jet itself is really simple... and of course, self-contained. We operate several of them.

Nothing says Rambo like an explosive tipped arrow! Maybe take a tomahawk and knife too...

Yes, they actually do... just saw two land at Barksdale AFB a week or so ago. The one on the left was on its way to Tyndall to get shot down:( (QF-4Es)

The AF PT test max waist is 39'' (real measurement, not the pant size)... if you're a taller guy (6'3''+, average build)... you're just SOL. Fail that minimum component and fail the test... doesn't matter if you can run a 5k in 3 minutes and do 200 pushups in a minute. And this right here is...

At least you guys don't have a waist measurement in yours.

A thought the F-16 Block 60/70 had potential in that deal....guess not.

The F-15E is the Strike Eagle - I think there's only one Reserve component unit (USAFR) that operates them, and they're out of Seymour Johnson. They drop bombs on stuff to include helicopters in flight! The 142FW operates the F-15C Eagle which is primarily Air Supremacy and Air Defense. The...

I don't think they're a Mud Hen unit... rather a light gray eagle (C) unit. Just as a point of mission clarification.

I say that they fire the controllers responsible for this outrage...and then tar and feather them..... oh wait.. that's what they are doing http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/two-air-traffic-controllers-fired-for-michelle-s-plane-lapse-100300 In other news... The First Lady's car narrowly...

So? It's France... who cares?

All the same man.. it's his career. If he wants to "diversify" into another service or airframe and can actually make the drug deals to make it happen - more power to him. There are some cool guys on this forum who have had awesome careers that involved multiple airframes and switches between...

There is a lot of weird stuff going on in the Guard now. Proceed with caution.

indeed

I may need to start doing some thigh exercises: Did you guys ever use full side stick deflection?

I don't know how you guys did the long sorties in the A-4.... what a small, tight cockpit!

So does the Navy IFS welcome packet specifically mention certain Asian massage parlors that are off limits... cause the AF's does...:D

IMHO, the AFOQT was a harder test overall. However.... it isn't so much about how well you do on the test, rather how well you against everyone else taking it. The timing portion of the AFOQT, I found to be a little bit more tricky... however, that can work to your advantage depending on how...

I just wrote one for myself... used strong, colorful words describing myself as a juggernaut and a shooting star. Worked like a charm.

So did you find that in a search for Porn or Top Gun?:confused::)

The AF drops right now are anywhere between no UAVs and 1 or 2. There are a few guys that actually request them/aren't disappointed.

You're a funny guy

I'm no juggernaut or shooting star... but a 0.29sec google search for Army Fixed Wing aircraft gave me same results. Crazy!

I just bought a new P239 for $575 at a local gunshop. saw a P226 was $640

Basically what I'm saying is that having a Commercial/ATP doesn't imply anything (i.e. don't count your chickens before they hatch). In the civilian warbird/jet world (and other 'communities'),a lot of guys think that having an FAA certificate/rating somehow means that their talent/experience is...

Not all civilian pilots are cut from the same cloth. Let's face it, most civilian instruction is solely for the purpose of passing a checkride. Airmanship is generally a foreign concept in practical application...hard for a 300 hour CFI to teach experience...and the learning curve is at your...

Dude - forget the civie time, you should consider not doing the accel course. I have pretty much most Commercial fixed wing rating MEL,MES,SEL,SES with a fair amount of acro/warbird/ tailwheel time, blah blah... And I just got my ass kicked by the T-38 sim. Take EVERY study/training advantage...

Have you used the "Look at what I won in a raffle!" line yet? Wouldn't call it a lie... more along the lines of pre-emptive self preservation.:)

That's pretty cool - MT has some really cool stuff out there. Did they ever find out what happened to that IV-P that had the prop disintegration (overspeed /component failure?) (had to land on the beach and hit someone, I think)
