Yep, agreed. People that think Hooter's wings are the end-all, be-all haven't branched out enough. Hooter's wings are second rate, as is the rest of their food. First off, the breading? WTF? You don't bread hot-wings. A properly made sauce will hold on to your "naked" wings. And if it doesn't...

I'm willing to bet we turned some sort of screw and put the pressure on. Oh, and looking like a total a$$hat in front of the world also has a profound effect on people.

Do you mean least subjective? That's why I've always loved Math... you can't fake it.

What distro? I downloaded the latest Fedora, but haven't run it yet.

You're right, it's not JUST one thing causing the problem. Parents aren't involved in their kids education, schools are teaching to the lowest common denominator, and the government is failing us in terms of setting a sound education policy. They've been failing us for years, this isn't a Bush...

Rhino = 6 pylons of A/G love ;)

From the crap that public school teachers are teaching today... I blame them too.

Why did the Brits give control to the Chinese?

Well, we're talking the feasibility of section FAC(A) vs crewed FAC(A)... not strikers checking for tasking.

Haha very nice.

*cough* Same amount of eyes, same amount of brains *cough*

That's my arguement... 2 assets vs 1 asset. You can "cue NFO justification"... but the fact is one crew is a better use of money and frees up other fighters for a striker role. That's just an opinion though... I've never worked with Marine FAC(A)'s and you've obviously been doing this business...

As a section or singles?

Nope, we have a RMC qual'd guy who is not a FAC(A). Which is funny, since from what I've seen, CSAR is like CAS on crack.

They've been screwing around with section FAC(A), but talk about a complete waste of assets... two airplanes to do something one crewed F (or D) can do. Were they FAC(A) in another life (F guys)?

How does that work? All Navy FAC(A) are two-seat.

Still is... have some friends who just got their qual as a FAC(A) crew.

I agree... just stating a point.

They have four official languages... English, Malay, Tamil, and... I can't remember the other one... Chinese? That's why you see 4 different languages on their signs. And I LOVE Singapore... what a great place. But, back to the discussion... The flaw in the system is the fact that...

I'm pretty sure the LOA is something many in GA don't know about... I'm willing to bet most of us military fliers know about them, but that's because we have all the special requests, etc. And the FAA giveth and taketh away... sometimes 3 times within a 30 minute CAS vul...

Honestly... good discussion. This is the sort of thing I like to see here.

Looks like we are all on the same page here. Again, if the field is IFR, they're probably routing approaches through that Class E extension... I'd probably avoid it.

Well, if he's operating VFR in class E, there is no communications requirement... I'm pretty sure even if it's say a Class D calling IFR, but the Class E extension is actually VFR... well, he's legal. I could be wrong though... been a while since I've been in the weeds with that stuff. Also...

AIM: Chapter 3-2-6 Class E Airspace 2. Extension to a surface area. There are Class E airspace areas that serve as extensions to Class B, Class C, and Class D surface areas designated for an airport. Such airspace provides controlled airspace to contain standard instrument approach procedures...

That's... gross.

That and the re-discovery of porn post-deployment.

I was probably playing Call of Duty 4... holy addicting game batman...

Nothing like "Come left" the entire way down the chute because the ship's in a turn and they need you to get aboard that pass... fun times!

Only a few of those are actually challenging... hell, I'd love to land at every single one of those strips.

I had a lady ask me to do the same, I told her no. Was I a jerk about it? No, I said it as politely as I could, but I paid for my seat and it was a LONG flight. Screw her comfort, I'm not having her manatee flesh pressed against me. Background: She was so huge that they wheelchaired her...

Speaking of people that piss me off on an airline flight... Why will the airlines not enforce their carry-on restrictions? I hate people with 4 carry-ons, I really want them to trip and fall and hurt themselves. Not only that, but the asshole with a guitar that clobbers an ENTIRE over-head bin...

Absolutely. If you require more than one seat, you pay for more than one seat. End of story. It's not the airline's fault or anyone else's fault that you are too fat for the seat. In fact, your morbid obesity adversely affects other passengers and the airplane. Fix yourself or pay up!

I am a Mooninite. I'm from the moon. Some could say that Earth is our moon, but that would take away from the name of the moon... which is the moon.

For a fast food chain, yes. For something really good though, go to La Pasadita in Seeley, CA. It's a NAF El Centro favorite.

The electric jet knows all. Hal is flying. The Rhino is even more departure resistant than the legacy Hornet.

I can understand what you're saying, BUT an ACOG isn't like a $11,000 Coach gun.... it was MADE for combat... laying it on the ground or putting it in a tool box? It'll laugh at that ;) That being said, I kind of like a plain-jane M-4... they're mean looking :)

Yes, I believe it was as well. If you go through the T-45 syllabus, you'll see this video again. (BAe Hawk is what the T-45 is derived from).

I believe he was heading to a low-key position while he still had some poop on the jet.

Not an F-16, it's BAe Hawk flying with the Canadians. Listen to the accent of Bitching Betty (Bob?).

Despite what you think, once you turn 18, she has no say in that decision. Like fc2spyguy said, don't ever admit that again.

Sure thing. If you look under a person's name on this forum, you will see either pilot wings (single anchor) or NFO wings (two anchors) if they are a Naval Aviator or Naval Flight Officer. We also have insignia for Surface Warfare Officer (I believe Steve Wilkins is the only one to have that on...

Me? Yes.

Cougars and Zephyrs. A familiar topic in Naval Aviation.

For those who have cranked in a wardroom, what was your experience like dealing with officers? I've always been respectful and friendly to those serving me, I know it's not the best deal in the Navy and you'd rather be doing your job.

Welcome to 5 years ago. :)

Excellent, someone that gets it. MB did jump ahead a few steps, but never a bad idea to post some yummy BBQ recipe. Grilling and BBQ are NOT the same, not in the USA. And yes, you absolutely can smoke with a gas grill, I do it all the time.

Recently? There aren't many MOH recently, and throughout history most are posthumous. Considering the acts that need to be performed in order to be considered for one, there is a reason why they are given posthumously.

Since most Americans are so far removed from the military AND have at most a rudimentary knowledge of how our Government works.

HAL, that's some good work right there.

Funny thing is, the nub behind the ejection port was put there for left hand shooters. I've heard the same thing that you're complaining about though, that it doesn't really work and you get hit a lot.
