Remember the air bus that did a demo and flew into the trees on a low pass...in that mishap I believe the autopilot was in an approach mode and did not respond to a waveoff power addition. Pilots in this case are saying it was not responding to their power increase even thought the throttles...

No fire...no fuel???

Look at your own risk...:D http://www.subicbaypi.com/subic_photo_girls.htm :icon_smil Ahhhhh...the memories....

Hey Spike...Done Cubi O'Club many times (phew)...always a good time. I personally liked the cute waitresses in their customized shit hots better than any air wing bubbas.

I appreciate a nice Tudor every now and then....thanks.

Do you mean The VFA-22 Fighting Redcocks??? Is that a camel toe? :eek:

Spike...come on now...given a chance to ping on VFA-147 do you think the rest of the air wing would pass it up...We Keed, We Keed. More common in my day were the Langley stripes you wore on the front of your green bag with embroidered wings. They went from the shoulder crease to the pocket.

Oooooowwwwww. That was close.

Just a little swelling....

Not always the case. Say you mort in a car wreck. If you have SGLI and/or supplemental insurance, your folks now have some extra money to tie up loose ends in your "absence." You can also choose a beneficiary which could be a sibling or relative in case you die.

Saves $$$.

"VFA-147's black flightsuits....still gay." That came up at every Foc'sle Follies both cruises I made on the Stennis.

All still unanswered... We're done here. Maniax342002 PM me if you want to talk.

Much better photo this time. +1

Saw that with an F-14A from VF-211 on JCS. Stick jammed full aft on cat shot. Up, up and away...from Cat 3, across the bow in Full A/B, gear coming up...all pilot could get out was "trim" on radio before they punched out as jet performed a beautiful hammerhead stall and crashed just off the...

Nose, NFOs got them as well. Was your's embossed with a US Navy stamp like a notary would use? Mine is. I got mine in Aug 87, looked exactly the same except said "Naval Flight Officer." I got to dig it out now.... Cheers, G

That's an awful lot of airplanes flying in formation. They make it look easy.

That's all and good. Unless he wants to answer the questions we ask in exchange for information we give, this thread will close soon.

What does "university" mean? Are you dual citizenship US/Iranian?

Please shut up. You are ruining all of our fun bitchy opinionated posts with your "legalspeak." :D

Curious who the admiral is? Can you PM me? Thanks.

Yes, if you are on active duty and can get it approved.

I am no longer the Grammar Nazi...:)...I usually use Mozilla with a built in spellchecker. :o

I got shot off Cat 1 on the Ranger by then CO Burner Bob Hickey, at anchor just off Coronado Island. As laonag as you got the laucnh bulletin winds required. We had a ton of natural wind and guess what???...the carrrier fiars to the relative wind on the hook, too. :) Very interesting clearing...

Ouch, but I still love YOU man. :)

Only two kinds of aviators...those that have...and those that will....

Empire Building.

So he flew his new toy Harrier once, it broke and now it sits. Off he goes like a butterfly on a flower to another toy... Damn it must be nice to have that kind of $$$.

Is that bad? :D How helos fly is a wonder to me.

Bleckkhhh...was that Celine Dion singing?

To the SNA/SNFO wanabees: If this was a mishap involved serious injury or fatalities...the gallows humor would be inappropriate. WRT naval aviation mishaps, if everyone gets out okay, learn from it, brush it off and keep flying.

It's now 41.8%.

They want to be close to DIA, but soon hate the noise. :icon_rage

Concur...just need to know you're not flying with "NAFOD" * In our VF world...the more senior RIOs flew with the FNGs right out of the FRS. It could be very eye opening. My worst pass in the F-14 was with a DCAG when I was on CVW staff. I went out and saw the hook scrape just feet from the...

The comments are priceless: and

I've also seen a huge bolt hung over a chair for the last pilot who boltered in that particular RR.

I've seen that done before...sort of like a Mulligan for each line period for the pilots.

Just playing with fire...aren't ya?

Ow my eyes!!! :icon_smil

Yet you have an Iranian passport?

What university did you graduate from? The background investigation can really dig deep...not just about you.

Yuri, are you a US citizen? You ancestry could be suspect for a background investigation. What exactly is "university?" To be 100% honest, yes, enlist. It will be easier and you have an almost 100% chance of becoming enlisted.

May I recommend:

What if the tarp got pulled up and wrapped up in the prop...now that would make for good TV.

Both look great.

All it needs is air moving over the wing at the right speed and AOA to fly...I'm guessing people are confusing the propwash for that. The propeller and associated propwash is what moves the plane through the air mass to generate the air/lift over the wing. right?

:icon_lol:

Cool...but pricey I imagine, if ever is developed.

I knew him...some good pics.
