Ha - waiting for a date has been killing me (bout 5 months now since hired) - but I think when it comes it'll be fairly short notice - should get the dates any day now. Things could be worse.... could be doing that whole Marine thing:icon_wink

If you wanted another shot at flying fighters you may consider the Air National Guard. But usually you would need to already have a degree in-hand to apply to the Guard units. The way it works is that a particular unit that flies a particular airframe (i.e. C-130s, F-16s, C-17s, F-15s, etc)...

you guys and your direct inpingement rifles:icon_smil

I've been playing COD Black Ops zombies as a simulator for the zombiepocalypse - and the problem with the shotgun is that rate of fire is slightly low when dealing with hordes. Magazine capacity is important - and the KA "MasterKey" attachment would be a nice addition to an M4 (perhaps an...

The Sporty's and King vids are good if you're having trouble sleeping. Every written I've taken, just used the Gleim study guide. It's pretty right to the point. Good luck!

Not sure if you have or not, but it may be prudent to consider the other services - as they too have age requirements (just a little higher).

No, straight and level flight itself has very little to do with angle of attack.... and it depends on what you mean by straight and level. If you mean constant altitude and no bank (wings level), well then AOA would depend on your speed and configuration. Think about this: If you do slow...

Pitch Attitude does not equal AOA.

That's a great looking set - Is that a Tac or did you get the barrel seperate? I have the USP .45 Compact - it's absolutely great, but sometimes I wish I had the full size. Also it doesn't have the threaded barrel (figured non-thread would be better for carry) - But wouldn't mind getting an...

The AccuPoint is definitely a contender. Actually, I think I've narrowed it down to the Trijicon and a lesser known piece of glass... Meopta 1-4x22 K-dot http://www.meoptasportsoptics.com/prod.php?prod=301&nav1=3&nav2=3 Both are about the same price...

I was having a conversation with a deputy in FL - their agency's biggest concern was deranged vets going postal on the town's people. So they did exactly what you said and "tailored" their "response" by keeping tabs. The sad part about it was that a few deputies were vets themselves. Maybe...

Wait.... so this was a bad idea?

I've been going back and forth on what to get for my Sig. I used an ACOG the other day on someone's AR, and it's nice for downrange targets - but doesn't seem to be good all around for the house, close type stuff (if that were to ever happen) Something with a 1-4 type magnification...

Wonder how quiet those actually are. I've heard you can take that an put it on your 5.56 AR with an adapter?

Nice stock, but the barrel doesn't do much for aesthetics:).

Wow!! Unbelievable! Wasn't there something a while ago in India where they wanted to make a rule against hand flying en route?

That is pretty freaking cool!! - wish they made one for my 10FP Savage.

Realistically you're getting a small piece of the pie in either forum. I'm sure there's douchers and cool dudes on each side. But if you must know, and A4s will agree with me on this.... Air National Guard guys are by far the coolest out of everyone. Believe it:)

Don't worry about it dude... worst that could happen is spend maybe a couple years in jail ;)

Friend of mine was a former hornet guy. He went and picked up an MEI, CFI and CFII at the FSDO. It was just one test total like you said - he said it did involve weird helicopter questions. He was a former RAG IP... but he did fly the C-12 for a little bit, and got his ATP in the Navy through...

On the other side of the rainbow, AF IFS is mandatory for the Guard guys now (not sure about AD and Reserve) - doesn't matter about previous civilian certificates/ratings/type ratings.

I don't know if you guys have seen the F-35 Demo pilot out at the airshows... but here he is, super pilot:

Those bastards are smart - I think a lot of Americans tend to underestimate in that regard. All the same I don't think that the TSA is really what they should be - for the most part, they just are not a legit security organization nor do they come off that way. I have personally, and quite on...

Ha:D - no seriously they have this waist measurement thing now.. where if you rock the run, sit-ups, push-ups.. but don't make the waist measurement... adios from AMS. It's 20% of your score and it doesn't take into account height. Even if you're 50 years old, 6'5'', if you're not under a...

I don't know why many of you don't get it... The FAA handbooks are broad material. For the aviation section: Gleims Private Pilot Written Test Study Guide has the aviation questions VERBATIM as they appear on the ASTB. The guide is designed for cramming.

I've been trying the "sitting while lifting 12oz several times a night" ... I'll letcha know how that works out.

Ha that's the truth... now, you just get the peanuts or crackers tossed at you with a blank stare and no verbal contact. :D

I think some of the guys from Beale AFB are working on getting that kid a flag flown on one of their sorties - which would be pretty cool...hope that works out.

It was obviously a chemtrail http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2995531/chemtrails_exposed_powerful_video_must_watch/

So an update from our very determined friend. He has heart!! First test of the Kenyan flying machine:

Are those times pretty accurate to the "launch"? I think the "launch" was actually Monday night... not sure that NOTAM pertains to the launch time.

I'm pretty sure all that was actually a myth. Brewster lost their contract from their management, not the quality.

It is an F4U-1 (unless it was built by Goodyear or Brewster)... Contrary to the article, they were not built in the 30s

The BCM has that ST-T2 buffer? I thought that was a special spike's upgrade deal - and a spike's product. I'm sure this won't matter much.. but I had an ACE SOCOM stock on mine with the Rifle length buffer (for the "long" SOCOM stock).. probably the most solid stock out there...

Any of you have any experience/thoughts on the mag-well grips... I know there are quite a few people that are religiously against holding the magwell technique (for short range stuff)... but as to the grips themselves? Only reason being is that for longer range unsupported shooting, I usually...

you mean like baseops.net? www.flyingsquadron.com

Believe it Bruddah!:)

They only take the coolest. :D

That sounds painful Also - when I took the ASTB all of the aviation questions verbatim were found in the Gleim Private Pilot Written Test Guide (which for civilian pilots The Gleim Guides are probably the best 'quick' study guide for all levels of written test.) The Gleim outlines everything...

Fighter Pilot's Heaven: Flight Testing the Early Jets by Don Lopez http://www.amazon.com/Fighter-Pilots-Heaven-Flight-Testing/dp/1560984570 Great book!

The AR is a classic with tons of custom stuff and some shoot better than others, etc. It's hard to really compare the AR to the Sig, because there are so many different flavors of the AR out there.. but having said that... To me, the Sig 'feels' really good to shoot, it's right on accurate -...

Word on the street was that those particular F-7Ms came from the early to mid 80s period with considerable British (MES) avionics influence and design.

Fight? :D It is the Islamic Republic of Iran.... and it looked like they were wearing those Felix patches...

I've heard the exact same thing countless times from people who have made it in the business world. If you really want an MBA to be worth something - get one with a large, high rolling network.

Landing flaps config. right?

Ok, I see what you're saying - like the Kitfox.. makes sense... The only other things I guess would be negative dihedral - but I suppose that would matter more once he is actually flying... as well as what looks like a very, very forward CG... depending on the tail design and arm... perhaps...

My guess is some sort of flaperons.... which is oddly more wing root orientated, most of the home-builts generally try to move the control surfaces outboard and keep the roots stalling first via washout.... From my limited understanding, depending on the prop twist (and except for specially...

You got to hand it to the guy - he's in a third world country, he wants to fly... so he builds an airplane (or somewhat of one). If he survives he'll probably keep testing and improving until he gets airborne. He certainly has balls. One of problems he may have, may be the wave drag on the...

Just like that part in "The Right Stuff" with the chimp... "A monkey's going to make the first flight" ... this time it's just a remote

I think Texas is the state that contracts those guys to shoot hogs from the Schweizer helicopter with an AR. At least in FL, people pay pretty good money to guides to hunt Russian Pigs Wouldn't be a bad business to start - takin' people on aerial hog hunts. :tongue2_1
