Is that the science of finding lint in a belly button?

I thought the Nightmares were going to be the first F-35 squadron? I guess not...

Both guys got out okay. http://www.caller.com/news/2012/may/30/officials-searching-two-pilots-ejected-during-trai/

This. The NVP is really useful for not only night flights but also in the sims.

.... Helo guys don't wear O2 masks....

Ran into some 774 guys at KELP today. You guys get around!

http://www.ctnow.com/videogallery/70107374/News/CH-64-'Phrog'-Has-Final-Check-Flight That's my buddy. Heet stroke!

Same.

Just found out my buddy and squadmate from TBS is going to be the last newly minted Phrog guy in the Marine Corps. He's pretty pumped about it.

Lighter color is cooler in hot weather. It doesn't matter if you're outside for 5 hours or only for the 5 minute walk to the jet. But alas, this order doesn't pertain to me as I am a Marine. I won't be wearing my flight suit (or my cammies) out in town because I am not allowed to. I'll wear...

Maybe NASA can't afford to keep flying their T-38s at Ellington...

But alas, the yut yuts will still have to eat Subway and the bowling alley for lunch... And hot weather desert flight suits is a win for the guys in Kingsville.

Just because an F-22 dropped a JDAM once to prove it could doesn't mean it will ever do it again....

Have you been fucking reading the replies in this god damn thread at all?! I'm drunk and I can still understand what the people above you have said what you should do; one of which is an current AD officer recruiter....

By that reasoning everyone who uses some type of aftershave and who sweats inside of their mask would go hypoxic... I sweat like a fat kid jumping rope in the attic, I use an aftershave lotion after I shave in the morning and I fly an OBOGS airplane. I have yet to become hypoxic.

Only sometimes? When in recent history has the DoD decided to buy more of the cheaper stainless steel toy that has 90% of the capability of the golden toy that costs 10+ times more?

One day when you're old and crusty highly experienced you may think back and wish you bought a couple.

...Maybe she's in VT-3 and not with Virgin Galactic because she couldn't get into Cornwell? ;)

Where can I get one or a few?!

Wow. That went a lot better than I was hoping it would. I'm kind of shocked.

I asked the same question over at BaseOps (Colorado seems to be more of an AF part of the country). The general consensus there seems to be to forget the MTRs and go LATN. Do we even do LATN stuff in the Navy/Marine side of the house CONUS? I know my old man tells me of the glory days in the...

Oh I concur. Just seems like that's a spot that something might work in the T-45.

Wifey just bought me a GoPro for our anniversary. I like it because of the waterproof case, and it has brackets that I can easily mount to the boom of my windsurfer. Maybe it could work on the hand holds on the canopy in the T-45.

17 on speed. It's been explained to us studs that it was 19, but there wasn't enough visibility over the nose for shorter people...

Does anyone know of any good routes in CO? Thinking about a Denver trip over Memorial Day weekend. Doesn't look like we'll have enough legs to get up to Whidbey for the 1355, and we'll do section lows in El Centro so that takes care of the 1266 Star Wars Canyon.

I'm pretty sure he was.

Or the guy who shot himself in the hand while driving a car in a busy intersection after leaving hooters.

I never took an aviation class in college. Heck, I have a degree in theatre of all things (that's theatre with the RE :) ) I wouldn't sweat it. If your GPA is above a 3.0 (which you say it is) and you have some extracurricular stuff (sports, jobs, clubs, etc...), you score well on the ASTB and...

A: Don't bitch that you failed a class. That's on you. No excuses. The professor wouldn't have a job if he let a personal agenda get in the way of teaching. B: individual classes won't matter (unless you need X class for Y MOS). Don't dwell on it. Not sure why you think the development...

What is the Gaylord?

I am jealous. I have the wife on board with my idea- we just have to agree on the boat. She wants a cat. I don't.

Best thing I learned from a theater degree? How to sell your design. No shit, how to sit in front of a group of people with money and convince them that your presentation is the best, and that you can make the the most money. Rule #1? Know your fucking audience. It's the same in the military...

One of my best friends was her safety observer on her brolo. He said the flight was interesting. And that he took the controls a few times.

But then the emergency O2 wouldn't be independent of the OBOGS system.

Call sign for a guy in Kingsville with the last name of Butt? "Dixon" ...unfortunately his C/S was left off of the airplane...

Hopefully not. Though if the OBOGS is the same, well...

It's been said a million times already. If you want to be an officer don't enlist.

All because a girl was interested in someone else... damn.

Search the site. You'll find your answer.

We dropped a bunch of E-2D ground support sailors off at Holloman while we were NALOing back from El Centro to Krock. They had 4 of them on the line there- right next to the QF-4s. Coincidence?

Strip club DJ?

At least hockey is back in Winnipeg! And you should know, it's a sweater not a jersey, eh?! ;)

I know the Wing bird was done for CONA. Not sure about our squadron birds.

We have 3 birds painted up in non camo colors already; one for the wing and one for each squadron.

Get into flying sailplanes- no medical required- you just self certify that you're good to go every time you fly.

There should be a tiltrotor clause in your contract. It's probably the same as helos.

Probably still connected to the seat pan, they just didn't know the difference. You only get a couple of swings in the chute (if that) at low alt. Not much time for those IROK procedures.

I've only had the TACForm class three times but we've only been taught the 4x6 G warm up.

Why does it have to be camo? Why not black with a red star or something similar?
