On what...the purported fight or the editorial spew...???

I'd call him Master Sgt.

It's pretty accurate. http://www.zillow.com/HomeDetails.htm?city=ANNAPOLIS%20&state=MD&zprop=36037952 at least around here...

Most I've pulled was 8.7 sustained in an F-15B. It really hurt. You could spike to 13g for a moment or two if you were at max g going through trans-sonic pitch at a high mach turn, but most likely not sustain it. F-16 drivers can turn sustained at 9g max and train to that in the centrifuge.

Must have been a very good deal hop...:icon_rage

Following a very dark night trap...our XO proclaimed to the ready room watching the plat for the recovery that, "It was darker than a black felt hat full of dirty assh0les out there tonight."

I heard he was like 9000 years old or something....;)

small, fast, would quickly kill a first time plane buyer. I doubt they'll become typical GA transports...too expensive to maintain a jet engine. Service ceiling?

Had a slice of Key Lime pie today...mmmm good.

Phew...

I think it said RV-7. http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-7int.htm

What is the story???...enquiring minds gotta know....any LEO action after the fact?

Snort, You lost me here...what were you saying? r/ G

FMAWG = Fat Middle Aged White Guy

Never saw the show/series/movie?...don't get it... Yup, I'm an FMAWG.

Take it if you are an ENS or 2LT. Have no fear grasshopper.

Lets see was it...Gold Bonds Powder the USAF was pushing. Spandex under the running shorts...or try the green shorts the USMC guys run in. Cheers, G

Bull. We currently have quotas in our promotion process....it's a bad thing. You should be promoted on merit alone, not race, creed, color or sex. But big navy so wants to be able to say that today's navy reflects society as a whole...so here we are...in all our glorious percentages.

certainly not grumman construction.... :(

I carried 4 green water bottles. The kind we get issued. One in each g-suit pocket and two in my SV-2 vest. I would do as HJ said and fully hydrate before each flight as well. It could get extremely hot and humid on the roof when you manned up or even after you landed if you were parked in a...

WTF?

I just got an e-mail telling me I have a package inbound from Erik Hildebrandt. Perhaps a large nicely bound Tomcat coffee table book...:)

CNN: lets make some news...the president said "Sh!t"

Do you raise giant super smart sharks? Or just drill for oil?

Hef's also had more than one wife, if I'm not mistaken...

Found some at http://www.news.navy.mil/ Search the photo archive for Stennis.

I too, see the 37/21 thing as a big concern...I would recommend "taking care of that" first and then following your dream...or it will drag you down. Also need to rename this post to "Dealing with a reluctant boyfriend."

Surefire...love 'em and use 'em. They offer a discount if you tell them you are military or retired when ordering. I think it is 25% off. Cheers, G

I have always loved flying in the Tomcat and especially atomizing and shattering the air. :icon_mi_1

What i've been told:...... Seriously, I heard it is great. You do go on detachments for a few months at a time. But never land on the carrier (of course) or go to sea. A LT can be a mission commander and perform one of the most important ABCCC missions we have. When an E-6 breaks, the...

See if he knows the difference between centrifugal and centripetal force.

That made my head hurt, too... I think I said the same thing 50 zillion times simpler...

I couldn't imagine having left my career decision to be an NFO and not a SWO (God help me) up to the flip of a coin.

My stash job....doing the swimming demos for every API class at DWEST. I was a very good swimmer and volunteered. Really got me in great shape. Great hours. Work in swim trunks. When I went through as a student, it was a breeze.

Remember VOR stations are fixed and do not move. TACANS on ships roll and heave with the ship they're on (to include small boys). LFM smooths out that so you don't see it in the cockpit. Don't know if you could do that with a VOR. r/ G

No.

I learned a new word today.

Just like the NACES seat in an F-14D... 90 degree and uncomfortable. Try that for 7+ hours over Iraq.

Same in the Tomcat...back seat to front ECS... He'd look back and later swear he could see me smiling through my mask as he gagged an floundered trying to put on his O2 mask...

Actually not, remember it has a huge straight high aspect ratio wing like a glider. Saw one do a takeoff and fly by at NAS Miramar airshow. I thought it was going to stall on climb out it was so slow and climbing so steeply.

Try www.spawar.navy.mil the HR section has lots of info. Mind you these aren't regular civilian jobs, they're GS and usually require a clearance. I worked there for PMW-159 for a few years.

Piper cub would be cake...just put 40knots of WOD and rotate in place....fly away. In 1995 we loaded a big bunch of WWII war birds on the Chucky V and headed for Hawaii to celebrate the 50th Anniv of VJ Day. We deck launched them all with no problem off Diamond Head. I'll see if I can...

We have SeaBees here in Fifth Fleet doing some real work on the front lines. They are an integral part of our effort in Iraq. Good luck.

Doug "Hound Dog" McClain...a true American hero. Former A-6 driver, Blue angel and now Admiral. Probably the most personable and talented man I've ever served with. He led a division of Hornets during the 50th celebration of VJ Day in 95. I was in another gaggle in a jet with our CAG "Lobster"...

Clearly they're not the running SUX2000 servers we use....

Sounds like a bad episode of Deep Space Nine. Hey wait a sec...every episode of that crappy show was bad....

Hmmm...methinks Netherlands...not Baghdad.

Try this... You can also fly on the back side of the power curve....just takes lots more power than you got.

Concur with using Skype. Used it for the last year to talk around the world dirt cheap. Also have an incoming number that is local to my home in the states and voice mail. Cheers, G
