The Blue Angel stuff was from the SF Bay Air Show a few years back. If it is the same photos/video I am thinking of, I was there for it. The show coincided with the Red Bull Air Races. Good times all around. Edit: #1 was SF Bay, not so sure on #6 on second look.

Even if the computer screwed it up, you can go back and edit the post and place in the proper line breaks. Plus, I gave you negative rep because your post sucks, and bribing for rep is really weak.

He was pretty close to driving the mains through the wings, and smashing his vertebrae.

I saw something not too different on ESPN2 8-10 years ago. It was a kick boxing tournament in San Jose, and some guy did the same lame routine. He got served in the same manner. Gratifying, isn't it?

I have KSOs and really like them. Of the people I know with them, I have not heard anything negative at all. I have no complaints either, just take it easy if you haven't run in them for a while.

Also saw 'Fury' at NAS Oceana... Awesome looking plane.

Nevermind, it's going to fall on deaf ears. Good luck. Timing is everything.

I was BDCP/SNA. First, enjoy all that time in BDCP. Not only are you getting paid well, but you are accruing time towards retirement and time in service (both of which you will be happy about later). With regards to the PRK, I tried to get one while in BDCP as well. They told me it would have to...

They definitely did Feb 09. My class had amusingly low NSS' in CPTs. Potentially because the students didn't take it seriously enough, and partly because it was graded as a non-graded event.

The way StuCon VT-28 explained it, it was completers in stage (not of program) that are used for last 50/200. Meaning that new class that just killed CPTs because they count (when they didn't use to), just gave your entire class a <30 NSS for that block. So classes ahead of you and behind you...

I like having them, and they are R&I required (or recommended?) here. I wouldn't spend money on them, but I am pretty sure NavAir is putting a big push to get it, with the explanation given that the reduction in hearing loss would pay for the device itself (disability payments).

It was the Weps Det to El Centro that you saw. A few people from AW are on that det.

It's not free food and restaurant chains. It's a ridiculous entitlement syndrome that so many people have. The company has no reason to do ANYTHING. The fact that people can look at a kind gesture (free stuff for serving), and piss on it (not good enough), is absolutely ridiculous and reeks of...

My two cents... I took 80 across. Making diversions off of it for cities or people I wanted to see. I'm glad I did it, since you will then hit the east coast on your way to API. Then likely drive the southern routes westward for Primary/Advanced/RAG. Short of a cross country, or leave, you...

Yet another reason not to lock every thread. -Don't post privlidged information. -Don't speculate Otherwise, leave them up, since there are updates that people will care about reading, and this is a good place to find them when they are released.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Agreed. I am not sure that we will find out if that was the case though.

I may be wrong, but I think he means B&Rs where lead sits at 30* and the stud joins with a CV join/into VFR turn away.

General note, but I wouldn't 'diss' or put quotes around their "PJ special forces" especially w/r/t their physical fitness. I got a chance to work with them last spring, and I don't think they would be sweating the Marine PT test.

I was there for that year. Missed the cat shots, but did get to ride out to the Nimitz with a few guys from 3rd Fleet. Red Bull was there that year too. Are they still bringing full CSGs up? I remember hearing that starting on 07 they had stopped due in part to political stuff.

They are teaching the use of the term Decision Altitude here in Meridian, saying that DH is incorrect since we use MSL altitudes.

I attached a picture of NAS Alemeda from a HH-65 flight I was in; April, 2009. Despite being closed for quite a long time now, they have not made much progress on what to do with the land yet.

Foreign flight attendants? Yes. Domestic... Unless you like guys, who are into other guys... or huge Manatee sized women.. then NO.

Why did that company go through all of the trouble to import, and modify the plane, only to then sell it for $5M? I can't imagine they will be making a profit on that (the transport flight in the AN, the plane, parts, labor, etc... should be more than $5M IMO)

He isn't.

At 18 and 19 they are less likely to have kids, or be fat too. Added benefits to think about.

It is both. The a/c is only useful with the engine above 70% though.

No, I am pretty sure you had it right the first time, sounds like a Petty Officer to me.

One of the sim building F-14 guys (or maybe he was some other pointy nose instructor) was just talking about #2 about 2 weeks ago. I am missing parts of the statement, but perhaps a classmate can fill it in. Something to the effect of "the F-14 was really hard to land on the boat, then they...

He had nothing to worry about, the odds are that the locals would have ran a red light, and killed the would be getaway driver & gang on their escape.

http://www.navyflyingcwo.org/category/navadmins/ The NAVADMINs are there. I'd say are a matter of general practice we (Airwarriors) does not usually cite NAVADMINs when talking about various programs. The NAVADMINs read the same as the cited articles (on the specifics that I checked).

From what I recall on documents/threads from this website (could be faulty memory), the program called for selecting an original group of 50 to test their success with it's desired continuation/increase/end of the program. I had not heard how any of them did other than the guys I saw in IFS/API...

Do you mean results of a board to select more CWOs (more than the original 50)? Or do you mean what are the results of the program (the selected 50; as in, will the be continuing the program)?

Put it this way, @ 485 KIAS, MRT; 15*ND slowed the plane down... Which was only like .90. Good luck getting to the max rated 1.04M. I'm fairly certain you need balls made of titanium, and a R/MOA area to FL410-Floor. Maybe someone here has done it though? Maybe our infamous sim instructor Mr...

Mine took a little more than 2 months I think. The payments in the beginning were really erratic both in timing and amounts. It all worked out in the end though.

It's a basketball term. The key (the 'paint') is full of people elbowing each other trying to get in position for rebounds, tips, whatever.

The way it was explained to me (or maybe in the bdcp contract), was that if you didn't Commission then you would be required to serve X (2?) years as an undesignated stryker, if you wanted to pick a job/rate/whatever, you could, but it was going to be more than X (2?) years and out. Since like...

I have heard of that happening, but it is not the norm. Search on here (since that is where I had to have heard of it happening), and ask your NRD what they want (since they will own you, and it will be up to them). As to the OP, certain countries will require a brief before you can go, and...

Exactly. That's the worst part. Their huge asses always bump into everyone in an aisle seat. If fat people have to pay more for their extra seat, I should get to pay less if the flight attendant can't walk down the aisle without waking me up by running into me and the guy across the hall...

Last time I was at Edwards they said the B-2 that's there was having major issues with it's skin in general, and with rain specifically. They said it would land, pull into its special climate controlled hangar, and then they would immediately do some process to try to maintain the skin from the...

That would be the important difference of course.

Also, wear your damn brown shoes. If anything your are jinxing yourself more by looking like a swo.

http://www.motortrend.com/features/performance/112_0908_chevy_corvette_zr1_vs_fighter_jet_race/index.html I didn't hear about this happening, but NASP closed down for an hour so that the #7 Blue Angel could race a Corvette ZR-1. Pretty sweet pictures..

ALQ-99 (right?)

BDCP gets you BAH + BAS + Base (E-3/4/5). The only variable is what BAH your 'duty station' rates. Your school is your duty station, which can matter (good or bad w/r/t BAH). You should easily be able to figure out your pre-tax income using that stuff available online. If you happen to live in a...

Word. -28 was awesome. I have heard some less than favorable things recently that makes it sound less awesome though...

You mean like when they said "No matter how hard you squeeze it, you can't keep it from going off?" Or when they provided a chance for studs to drink and prove their ability to do better than average at intoxication tests?

Ordered one (non-chrono) and returned it, I felt the luminescent paint hour markers looked exceptionally cheesy, as did the wave background which I had expected to look significantly better than it did. My opinion, there are much better looking watches in that price range. Since quite a few...
