Never seen a purple anti-smash. In fact, never seen anything but red/orange/white.

Sounded like some hate in there ;) Yeah, it sucks. I hate the mask... and I wear it every flight. So you like them fat and wide? :D This is bad headwork, and it's not something you would know or anyone in Primary for that matter (nor did I). You're flying a T-34 solo on flights where...

Someone is a WEEEE bit sensitive.

Oh god. Oh... god.

Yeah, I know her husband... he's not a department head... so not sure what DH means...

What the hell is a DH?

And get paid pennies to do it.

Actually, it's not, oh mighty Midshipman of Knowledge. A few people on here know mine.

Because parking it day to day doesn't do the same exact thing?

An F-5 next to a Rhino looks TINY. It's a neat plane though.

Please. This is crap and most of the gun types here know it. Don't infect others with this myth. SHOT PLACEMENT SHOT PLACEMENT SHOT PLACEMENT. That's what it comes down to. A 9mm JHP in the vitals is just as effective as a .45 JHP. Believe it. This is bad gouge. BAD gouge. Derringers are...

SIG P229 is a mid-size model, a half-way between service/combat pistol size and true CCW. A lot of people carry it. It's the same size as a Glock 19 or 23. SIG is a great pistol, I have the larger P226. Can't find a finer out-of-the-box combat pistol out there. The P239 is a much smaller line of...

Last I checked, those are Air Force squadrons ;) The list he has comes off the Navy fact file. Trivia: The Navy has F-16s.

If your goal is to saturate the market with your aircraft, then no, the dollar is not the bottom line.

You caught it yourself. C-40A is a replacement for the C-9 (thank god, the C-40s are nice).

Your standard C-40A is a standard 737-800. I've flown on one twice. They're not BBB. Maybe if they have some DV ones they are, but not the normal ones.

I believe it's blind squirrel.

There was a rash of guys going down to Pcola to anthro themselves out of Prowlers when I was in T-45s. One managed to anthro himself out of the T-45... while he was flying it.

I bet I know how that one came about.

Was he Ukrainian or Russian? It was a Flanker he was driving if I remember right... killed a bunch of people. They put him in jail because they felt it was his fault (and probably to save face).

Rhinos. ;)

Freakin sweet.

They're looking to charge the American pilots with manslaughter. Anyone ever heard of that before?

I remember it being $0.87 in high school.

Best option for the original poster... talk to the doc. Maybe he can give you some neat drugs. You said "vessel".

Eh, our docs have told us if we have a sinus issue but can still valsalva we should be ok. Unless it's a sinus infection... that can be baaaaad juju.

Can you valsalva?

Yeah that'd be a bad day ;)

Reminds me of an API story. Sitting in class, instructor is doing roll call... calls on a Marine, he answers with "YUT!"... everyone looks at him like he's a douchebag... his fellow Marines tell him to shut up and not do that again. I laughed so hard at that. :D

When faced with a choice between two objects that you want, there is only one answer: get both.

WOW! That's fast. I got my wings at almost 3 years.

NACES seat would support 235# without waiver, goes up to 245 now with the latest mod I believe. :)

bullsh!t, the T-45 will stop in less than 2000 feet with maximum braking :)

Nothing is an SA killer like "Unknown rider, unknown rider" in the middle of a BFM engagement.

I fvcking hate how the AF uses Guard as a common freq. If I ever have to land at an AF field, I know I can always use Guard, since that's all they ever use.

Ok, everyone has done the walking flying thing, but arms spread out? What are they, 2?

Oh christ, now I know what it means. Never should a NA or NFO utter those words.

Space Shuttle? I dunno.

Didn't go to OCS, so not sure on that question, but DEP = Delayed Enlistment Program. For example, you're a high school student that wants to enlist when they graduate, you can "enlist" under DEP until you graduate and then you go to bootcamp.

That's easily one of the most disturbing video clips I've ever seen.

Helo guys think they're "tough" for crashing with the aircraft. I think they're delusional ;) I'll take the party handle any day.

Yes, people did it in my NROTC unit all the time back when I was in college.

I wasn't specifically addressing you with that post. As for your question, I don't know, I'm only trained as an E guy at this point (E/F selection comes near the end of the RAG).

Yeah, there are several variations of the PT6 out there too.

Yeah, Master Arm is in the front seat of the Rhino.

For Air-to-Air it's not a new idea as the RIO could launch at least a Sparrow in the Tomcat. Not sure if other platforms allow for Air-to-Ground release.

Are you in VT-7? Go talk to Miss Mary, she'll explain it all. Actually, most scores aren't in the 200s. To get in the 200s you need a 50's NSS or higher... most don't walk out of T-45 with a 50 or higher. But, that's the formula, there is no consideration for Primary or API, no one cares. The...

Depends on the Lot of jet. In the higher lots, the WSO can control all the weapons except the gun. Do they have release authority? Depends on the squadron, SOP, Top Gun, etc.

7 inches. Wait, what were we talking about?
