    Best Ice Cream On The Planet

    This is a Naval Aviation Forum. If you wan't something else, go somewhere else; maybe www.foodnetwork.com, www.foodcritic.com or www.cantkeepitrelevant.com. The resaurant thread is marginally relevant because it was kept to places where we have bases and train. This one should go away. ZABs...

    CEP-USA doesn't list an NSN for the fixed wing helmet version so I didn't think they were in the system (helo helmet version does have an NSN). But I guess by buy off I mean promote them for widespread use beyond the Helo community (who they were designed for I believe). The S-3 got them only...

    I wish the Navy would buy off on the CEP ear pieces, this would be the biggest advance in hearing preservation that the Navy ever did for aircrew. I've had them since they were brought into the S-3 Community and I still wear them today. I think I'm the only one in C-2's to have them. They do...

    GOING DOWNTOWN -- ISRAELI Style

    You may not get a bomb in your home, but if I remember the classes in SERE correctly, even in Vietnam the POWs were shown pictures of their homes, families, etc demonstrating that the bad guys can reach out and touch you where it hurts. I sure wouldn't want to be identified publicly.

    Some pics from my last flight to the carrier as a COD pilot

    E-2C & C-2A Studs aren't retarded, they fly the T-45 (or whatever the CQ jet was at the time) in advanced (mostly for CQ purposes). If you go back as an IP, you just don't instruct in some of the phases (weps, road reccies, tacform, acm, guns) unless you get the proper training to instruct in...

    Iranian UAV orbits CVN-76 for 25 minutes

    CNN had what appeared to be pretty close range video of the ship firing into Lebanon, so I guess just about anyone could get close enough to control an R/C into it.

    Gotcha. Like I said, it is just an idea in the community right now and obviously we have plenty to learn. The CO of the Osprey FRS gave a dog and pony show to one of the planning groups and they all fell in love with it, so if the Analysis of Options comes back saying the Osprey is the way to...

    HD and squeeze love Cherry Point

    The C-2 community is thinking about sending a guy there to fly the V-22 for a few years to give feedback on it's suitability to replace the COD. I've been thinking about putting my name in the hat for it. The idea is that the V-22 can do about 80% of what the C-2 does now and would add several...

    THREADJACK I can't believe that 13-06 just commissioned! When I went through OCS in '98 class 13-98 was commissioned in early April. I guess that is just another example of how the Navy is taking fewer people these days! /THREADJACK

    Nothing in the Navy will move before August. Trust me, you are going to Pensacola, FL. If you don't, BigRed389 will send you a case of beer.

    I've got gas!

    I can't speak for helos, but in jets yes it matters. Figure the tanks weigh about 1K each and they hold 2-3K of fuel. If you just have 2 tanks, that can be up to 8K of extra weight that you have to maneuver. It pays of on endurance, but you will have a performance penalty.

    Headsets

    In my old S-3 command pilots were issued lip lights and the NFO's were issued the finger lights. I think the lip light was a better deal.

    Hangar queen

    You can carry them, but it is a pain in the butt. Generally you have to have the PR's etch it and tie it into your vest and then you are good to go. You are allowed up to 5 lbs of optional gear as long as it is properly installed.

    You don't mean to say that you are paying income tax to VA do you? You are not a resident of the state! Of course you have to pay property taxes on the house, but that should be it. Just because you own a house in a state doesn't mean you have to pay income tax there. Please clarify if I...

    There is nothing wrong with wanting to be in combat, there is much to be admired about your desire, BUT, that isn't the point that people were trying to make to you. The point is that if you want to even have the option to stay in the Navy past your initial obligation, you need to stay in your...
