You're better than them. You have a radar!! They should wear a LAMPS patch!!

It's a 50% chance of getting P-3's. Either you do or you don't. Next question please....

That was pretty cool... so what percentage got P-47's???;)

Who is "they" you speak of? The Air Force? The USGov't?

What, you don't fear the Tucan?

Flying with 6 HS squadrons, we do what you described. HS-10 tried to do the "FCF pilot of the Week" plan but there was much complaining to Ops who relented. Whether to change out a pilot or not has greatly depended on what the profile is and how much you have left. In fleet squadrons I've seen...

A form solo strayed out of the working area again?

Which procedure do you speak of?

WSO's have a strong union in most other countries!

Looks like this is expanding beyond the typical law suits... http://defense.aol.com/2012/02/03/air-war-over-air-force-contract-escalates/?test=latestnews http://www.aviationpros.com/news/10623090/sierra-nevada-corporation-corrects-the-record-on-us-air-force-light-air-support-program...

And I thought I killed those brain cells off with alcohol a long time ago... A technique I was taught as a young 60 pilot (by a TPS pilot) was to lift the collective up a little (less than 1 inch) to help seat the droops stops. The other trick was to do a small stirring motion with the cyclic...

Two port calls in Subic in 2009 (both 2+ weeks long) and got full access to the local area! Pretty good diving in the PI and lots of ways to get into trouble....

Key West on HST 3 days before a hurrican hits... We have to run the helos to get folks back on board so we can depart before the storm hits!

7 days in Dublin followed by 5 days in Portsmouth, England was probably the best 1-2 in my 4 deployments

Flown with a couple of pilots who would wear a kneeboarding on their left thigh. One had to turn it "in" so the collective wouldn't catch on it.

So, who exactly are the good-guys and who are the bad-guys in these pictures? Are we routing for the F-4/F-14 team of the Su-27 team????

Clinton was.... Oh wait, you said TAIL hooker... My bad GWB (#43) came out to the ship in the front seat of an S-3. So while he wasn't actually at the controls, that puts him above pretty much every other President with notable exception of Bush 41.

And then claimed it on his FitRep!!!

A typical hinge would have tasked you to do it!

Yes, it was sarcasm. I spent many hours on the platform during my AWSDO time and never once commented on the PPE of the LSOs.

I feel bad for a pilot who just got told to hold at final approach fix inbound for 35 minutes so the Elephant Walk can get airborne!

As a former Safety O (and Airwing Safet Officer of the Day), where the hell is his PPE?

NFO = No Future Outside

I know of a H-60F that had the aircrew try to shoot itself down during a gun-ex. They were a shoe-in for the Battle-E until the literally shot themselves in the foot... or the cabin floor board to be more accurate!

kind of like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_C_Champion

So the FO is in the right seat for every flight until he flys in the role of Captain? You guys don't swap seats between legs? I just always assumed the two pilots would swap sides for different flights and like in helos the pilot in a particular seat (for us it's the right seat) will normally...

The USS AMERICA supported the 160th before. http://ussamerica-museumfoundation.org/history.html On 13 September, less than two weeks after leaving the shipyard, AMERICA was in the Atlantic heading for Haiti in support of Operation Uphold Democracy. As the world focused on the situation in...

Do you like going to Captain's mast?

Think they wore flight suits like the LCAC drivers?

Sure you can... When you do your disassociated sea tour, you can be a Shooter!

Scientists still can not explain how either the bumblebee and the H-46 are able to fly...

Interesting as an Afloat Forward Staging Base. It's been done before successfully pretty recently, glad to see the Navy is expanding the concept. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/01/27/navy-converting-ship-into-floating-commando-base-in-middle-east/

One thing to consider is that some schools put together good finacial aid packages for NROTC scholarship folks that cover room and board. Make sure you ask if the school offers financial aid to ROTC students!

Never fly higher than you're willing to fall!

You mother is afraid of the unknown for you judging by her lack of knowledge about the military. Sit down and explain what the process to become an officer is, what a career path is like (your recruiter can lay this info out for you) and what you are hoping to learn/accomplish in the military...

Asking for info is standard for a LOR. He/She may be asking for a draft since it will contain the info you wish to be included. 2B gave a good idea about turning in a list of accomplishments and facts you would like included in the draft. But, if the person requested a draft (and he/she is...

Hal, Do airlines require the pilot in a particular seat to land (with pax on board) or can the crew decide. In helos, we train to land from each seat, but I realize the airlines are very different in a lot of ways. So, assuming that nothing has happened, like a pilot getting sick in-flight, are...

The NFO's that go in the Growler and Super Hornet, of course!

I had a set of 22k set of wings made during a port call in Bahrain. They don't shine up as pretty as the 14k wings, but they are unique!

wings is quoting $599 http://flywings.com/

As the contacts are let, bunos are assigned for airframes scheduled to be delivered. I can't speak to the veracity of this site, but there's a lot of info here: http://www.joebaugher.com/navy_serials/navyserials.html

Flying is the pay-back for having us do NKO training!!! Just one more reason to pity SWO's, I guess...

Did for two HH-60H in PACOM... It had some challenges!

Aren't you about 15 degrees nose down and below translational lift airspeed while towing? If so, jettisoning the sled and tank will result in just a smaller splash!

I'll take Anal Bum Covers for 7000... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM0gPmkCYsg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I haven't heard that fact mentioned yet. Maybe an interesting idea... of course it sounds like a good deal, so I would guess the Navy would look at sea-swap of crews on the same airframes (and rotate the airframes out every 12-18 months) rather than move a whole squadron to Rota. No, but we do...
