I wonder if they get flight pay.

Actually, it's 618 F-4s of various models. :eek: http://www.amarcexperience.com/AMARCDBAircraftTypesSummary.asp

I too am a crossfit fan, though I'm not as regular about it as I ought to be... Just be careful, it's easy to throw yourself into it because it's pretty fun - but you can easily over do it if you don't listen to your body.

Impossible! Nobody is THAT old!

I got a ride in one of those just after I winged in Corpus. Man, that was cool. That pig leaks fluids (of all sorts) like a P-3 and man is it big. If I'd gone helos, that's the ride I'd want. I mean, LOOK AT THOSE HIPS!

Small chainsaw - for zombies. Always be prepared, for anything.

Hmm... So the proper way to 'look' is through Beer Goggles then? :D

The hump on some airlines, such as JAL is actually just more coach seating, but even then it's still better as it's 3 and 3, vice 3 4 3 down below. United and NW have biz class up there and it's pretty nice, though I tend to like Delta biz class better. I've never seen first class up there and...

I really like the lines of that plane too, but I don't like being a pax aboard them, at least on United or NW, too antiquated in terms of entertainment systems. JAL does a better job. But it's fast and just plain cool looking. I don't mind riding one if i'm up in the hump too, that's fun.

Alright guys, right here, right now we can choose to do something about this. I think we should begin a campaign to get the aviation world on board with upgrading to the new 747-8. But we need a slogan... something catch that nobody has heard. I know, "SAVE THE WHALES!" Brilliant!

Crazy talk! That'd never work!

Yup, total apples to oranges (link worked now, I got an error before). Please disregard my rant.

website is down. If the subject is something along the lines of, "marines work long crew days" and therefore we shouldn't wank - I disagree. Crew day needs to be a planning factor for all operations. The P-3 community routinely finds ways to extend crew day or work around the rules just to...

Dude, you haven't met a bigger group of d-bags than those P-3 WTIs! :D:D:D:D:D

Pickle, WTF are you doing man? You don't have time to write this crap! DO YOUR PQS!!! AND STAND SOME GOD DAMN DUTY!!! Now that's a proper P-3 welcome. Enjoy Whidbey, that place ROCKS!

It is a beautiful thing. Just beautiful. Is having a sexual response to a firearm sick in any way?

I imagine that if he is even remotely close to the pres that there'll be a sniper with him dialed in and a plain cloths SS agent near by. The SS isn't paid to take chances, they'll be all over him like a Chief on a doughnut (I keed, I keed!). While they may not directly harass him, and I...

There was no flyby during the procession, but I dunno about the actual burial/service - it wasn't on the base.

Was a proud navy moment for me, to see all those sailors standing out there with me, rendering a final salute to a man who gave everything he had. We don't always get it right in the Navy, certainly we all have a lot we complain about, but we send off our fallen the right way and I'm very proud...

Well, when they show those guys stopping bullets with their bare hands (or bear hands, maybe they have some genetic program there to give their soldiers bear hands), then I'll be impressed. It's actually a pretty cool video I think. Beats any AF recruiting video i've seen.

Not gonna lie, I totally understand you wanting to jump ship...

That's because I didn't get to it until well after many people responded... When I saw the title I was going to slam him! But, alas, I shall refrain. I think I've grown some.

Wow, that's legit bad assary!

I just learned of this today, thought it certainly isn't new news. The link says it all, or shows it rather, but to sum up: conspiracy theorist lures Buzz Aldrin to an interview under the pretense of an interview for a Japanese kid's space program. Douche bag then tries to get Mr. Aldrin...

They don't exactly give those away...

I'm a fan of the Thunderdome medical system. TWO MEN ENTER, ONE MAN LEAVES!!!

Can't vote, can't have free speech without someone to guarantee it. Going to the polls is an exercise of freedom, not the defense of. And there are people behind the scenes, and some put i on the line, CIA, other spooks, but by and large, it is those in uniform. but let's not argue semantics.

I will comment this about the Declaration and the Constitution - they are nothing but empty words. Completely useless without people willing to breath life into them. Those who give that breath of life wear uniforms.

Here and I thought the 4th was just another day to stand duty. But hooyaa to all the good sentiments, and belay my cynicism.

I sure hope United, AA, Delta, et al, don't go with the painted uniforms....ewe....

Well, I always did like hanging out in the women's department more :D

vertrep? :p

I hear those jobs are hard to get. I haven't seen any solid data on how much they pay, but I figure that they don't really work year round. Hal, do you have any idea how much it does pay? Plus it'd be very exciting I imagine. I think it'd be a fun gig.

The pilot says the cause was a gust of wind. Looked a bit more like he got into ground effect but didn't have enough airspeed to actually fly. I'm glad everybody got out without any injuries, too bad the plane got balled up pretty bad. I like beavers, hate to see one get ruined. And since...

Show up to work. Study. Drink on the weekends. it isn't hard. Rock it or not, nobody cares, you're still winged at the end. Remember that nobody will tell you to study or force you to. Oh yeah, stand duty with a smile.

We had M9s in the P-3 world.

You are both wrong. It was letting them wear pants. They got all uppity after that.

Mostly Josh Groben and Celine Dion. I like to cry a little when i run.

Uh...why wouldn't we? Those are important things! Now i'm going to go drink some beer.

Yeah, that town sucks. Nothing to do, no good places to eat. Just can't stand it. Gas Lamp, what a snooze. Now Al Udied, that place has it going on!

Don't worry Ken, maybe some day you'll get to spend 3 years on a "shore" tour pulling 10hr days of powerpoint and working 90% of your holidays and 50% of your weekends. Understand your bitching though, I'd be irritated. Just be wary of what you post on here. Lot of guys have had REALLY...

Nono, you'd eventually learn to enjoy it. Look forward to it even.

After spending two months working at the survival pool the (the OLD one), i had more rides in that thing than I can count. No doubt, I hated it at first, but i got used to it. So when I went through for API (and subsequent trips to swim phys) it no longer bothered me. I think that kind of...

It's good fun. Never met a helo dunker I didn't like.

God damn that guy has guts. Good on him. Stucks that a girl was injured in the cross fire, but she's alive and not raped - that's a win in my book. Call my cynical though, I bet the kid get sued by the girl's family and the dead guy's family.

Dude, go to PCola and get stashed at the aviation survival pool - great work hours, no khakis, and a really fun job. Also, when you go through API and do the helo dunker, you'll be an expert at it since you've had way more rides than anyone else in your class. That being said, I might note...

Brett old man! You're so crotchety! :D

I can explain why they did it on Mythbusters - because it's freaking cool to do big science like that. Big dirty fun.

East coast will get it first. As to which squadron gets it first... Uh, what day of the week is it?

Due to its power output it will only be addressed in the TACMAN, and possibly have a tab in TACAID.
