Transfuse some of my 45 year old blood for yours and you'll be all set making weight.

TUC at 37K feet is about 17 seconds. How do I know that fact???...VF squadron hypoxia induced mishap when I was a JO...came out of the MIR.

Flying is flying...but, it's your call in the end.

What exactly is it that you "don't wanna do" as an NFO? :confused: F/A-18F doesn't suck. NFO gets the same paycheck and chance at command as a pilot.

With "ASTB 5/5/5/53" you may want to consider SNFO as option two...

That's just "ghey."

Had a friend go face to face with a cruise missile on a low level NE of Sand Dog. We only saw it in his HUD on the tape playback. Oddly, no one ever took credit for it. :D

It still amazes me how quickly some other counties seem to pump out variants and/or new aircraft, etc...

Three rules of Thunderstorm: Avoid, Avoid, Avoid. Having flown through two nasty cells in my career, I would never do it again even if you paid me real good money. We probably bordered on the upper edge of severe turbulence and we were tossed every which way but loose, lost comms, iced up and...

The 70 and 60 are the ones that caught my eye. Is it hereditary or did you play with fireworks as a kid...like me?

Have it down out in town on your own dime.

All I know....http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/chinhae.htm Whoa...

Flanker is a Su-27 or variant with same basic shape. Here's a Su-30MK doing a demo. :)

I bought my first Rolex GMT Master watch in HK. A spur of the moment decision while on liberty...it was legit, too. :D Worth more today than when I bought it.

One of my favorite ports of call. Loved the local food.

Dead fish, forgotten seafood in the walls, catfish bait...these are a few of my favorite things...

TMI :eek:

Thanks, HJ.

God damn...that hurts.

He took over from "Puke." I thought "Tonka" was a former A-7 driver.

Concur. Awarded to my Great Uncle.

Second step is to not be stupid (between now and API).

Keeps out the SPAMMERS.

Better than this....video of wheel falling off commuter plane on landing roll out. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/feature?section=news/national_world&id=6815107

See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1180629/The-bird-came-second-best-How-pelicans-brief-encounter-plane-led-sticky-end.html andddd....... Smack!!!!

Ned, Good idea. I'm probably guilty of it as I changed military commands. Will e-mail an update. v/r Schnugg

http://www.airlinepilotcentral.com/ Saw attached hourly pay list fromlast summer...

Damnnn...those windows are small on that thing. I hated the dunker...every 4 years.

Those flames were good size and licking up under the wing pretty good. I'd be curious as to what tower said to them to perhaps instigate the evacuation..."Your're on fire" is what comes to mind...???

Here's a lucky shoe....watch the fantail closely. :eek: Time to change that U-Trou....

The background....talk about a planned community...looks sort of like that dead community on the west side of the Salton Sea....:(

When I was Air Ops on the Stennis (00-02) VFA-146 were affectionately called the "Blue Gems"...* "Cherry" made skipper...damn time flies... * PI dig reference to the gals in flight suits who played at the O club in the late 80's: "The Gems"

Not symptoms to ignore...see the Doc...

Can you fit all that in your "cart"?? :D

"The Orpah" looks like she may have printed out a few hundred KFC coupons...and used them all.

This thread makes my head hurt: ....So are you missing a transcript you never got...or did you forget to include one in your package submission? How do you "miss to disclose"?

I've never heard the LSO call "Land it" before.

Was it a bad transcript?

I attended the luncheon where CJCS ADM Mullen spoke. Very interesting. His points: People #1, families #2, parts (everything else) #3 Shift of focus to war in Afghanistan vice Iraq. But a big takeaway is he's been out of the budgeting process for 18 months as CJCS.

Spent the whole day there today. Lots of interesting "stuff."

I've did X/Cs from Miramar NAS to: Pensacola, FL Gunisson, CO Reno-Stead Air Races South Weymouth NAS near Boston, MA Whidbey Island, WA The Boneyard at Davis Monthan Alameeda NAS Luke AFB It just takes some prior planning and good wx.

Be honest....

I got it to count. Used a service record entry, a signed certificate from the CAG, FITREPs, orders to CVW-14 at the time and list of eligible operations for the AFEM from the web site. This earns me 6 more days a year paid vacation in 1 year into GS employment instead of 3.

OK...thanks....DTG 061206Z NOV 95 as in 1995....

Thanks, I've been all over that.

Not for chest candy. I'm trying to determine qualifying military service for my GS job. It can only be campaigns or expeditionary awards since I'm retired. It will add to my GS service time and change my vacation earning accrual rate. Which is worth money to me. PERS is telling me my time...

I'm trying to locate CNO NAVADMIN 270/95 DTG 061206Z NOV 95 Anyone have any ideas or can help locate it, I'd appreciate it? I tried the CNO's admin office and NPC web site with no joy. Perhaps someone's admin department has a binder of hard copies of old NAVADMINS? Thanks in advance. G

Been to mach 2.0 at just a tad over 50k feet in an F-14D. A very smooth ride. F-14 A will easily hit 1.5 to 1.6 in an easy descent from 40k in AB. It just wants to keep going faster.

So if I put a C-172 on a giant treadmill...

Keep the XL, you should be able to easily wear your full flight gear under your nomex jacket when manning up in the rain...or snow. I wore mine in the cockpit.
