    Military Confronts Reckless Air Crashes

    Knock it off stops everything...like the entire "Roving Sands" exercise. Had an E-2 bubba be a survivor in the field and he said on his PRC-90 "I am simulating having ejected from my jet"...all the EC-130 heard was "...ejected from my jet"...." His new callsign was "Rightguard"...the pro-word...

    Stain on my whites...

    Battery acid , when used in small amounts, will easily remove the stain. Unfortunately it takes the material with it... Take it to the cleaners is your best bet.

    Military Confronts Reckless Air Crashes

    Brief what you fly..fly what you brief. If you'd brief it in front of your CO/Safety Officer...and follow the above axiom...it's probably not going to enter the "reckless" realm...then you got nothing to worry about.... RIO's most feared words: "Hey, Watch This!"

    Who flies backseat?

    I'd think it's all boilerplate. Not too much to really plan. They've already been to most of the airfields they plan to do shows at. But most importantly...remember, he volunteered. ;)

    Anyone have pics of extended Glove Vanes on F-14.

    They're all fixed in the in position now. The F-14D did not even have any glove vanes. They helped stabilize the plane at transconic speeds and in the bomb pattern. Best of all they made a very cool screeching sound in the break at Miramar. r/ G

    As long as there's no speculation or rumor mill gossip going on, it's okay. But that pretty much limits it to official releases out of the press.

    New Vision Standards

    Nothing. Won't hurt your eyes any more than the ejection with regard to soft tissue tears. You may however, be limited to what you can see during an evasion on the ground if you are vision limited. Most likely it will be "Wear contacts, but carry a spare set of glasses in your flight gear"...
