That's a hell of a drive to base though. Have fun with that.

All depends on when you get the "all clear" order to return. We spent like 4 days out there. Yes, Per Diem was involved.

Hurr-Evac. When Denis hit, we flew from Meridian to Austin. Spending a few days in Austin does NOT suck.

I remember those towers being built when I was in A-pool and API. They finally finished them?

Yeah, that's a first :) I know what one is, never seen it as NDA though. Come on, the computer geek one is EULA :)

I'm gonna tell you right now, they're not even close, not even in the same ballpark. A thunderstorm, while powerful and can toss hail out and tornados, can't compare to a hurricane. Ever. A cat 1 and probably 2 is not worth evacuating (unless you're on the beach maybe)... anything higher, get...

A guns kill would be the ultimate... talk about bragging rights.

Nda?

That's the government for you...

Yep, I evacuated for Ivan, I had just finished Primary. When we came back, it looked like a warzone. I was in Meridian for Katrina. Ridiculous. There is a morbid fascination with seeing some of natures most powerful displays... in the end, it's not worth it.

I've always been a strong proponent of armed pilots :) It just makes sense... if they already have the lives of the crew and passengers in their hands, I think they're good enough to be receive firearms training... call me crazy :)

Most IPs here will hit you for doing it that fast...

If they're evacuating, it's for a reason. Cat 1 is interesting. A Cat 2, even more so. Staying for a Cat 3, 4, or 5, well... good luck, especially a 4 or 5. People die in hurricanes, they're no joke. The 4 and 5 are no sh!t scary. It's not like watching a tornado from a few miles away. If a...

Funny as hell, but the "Help Me Tom Cruise" is lame. Think of a different phrase down there and you got a funny patch.

Look at the Eastern seaboard vs the Western. Insane.

If they have to work to bust down the door, you're gonna have some warning...

I don't think you own that line :)

Freakin awesome

OH SNAP!

Shame on you for not recognizing an Anchorman quote.

Yeah, if the flight computer isn't doing it for you, then just do it in your head. I can't take my hands off the stick long enough to do that anyway... well maybe now with the autopilot, but DEFINITELY not in the T-45.

I haven't flown with a whiz wheel since Primary.

F-8 was sexy. Damn sexy.

I just did.

They did directly contribute to how 9/11 was executed, but also, don't forget that before 9/11, no one had ever done that... most hijackings ended (semi) peacefully, not with 3 airliners being used as missiles and a 4th being crashed in a field. New rules, new game.

In Primary formation, my partner liked to use the expression "DUFA" for the flight callsign. "Doesn't Understand, Flies Anyway"

80,000 feet? Yeaaaah, doubtful.

What A4s said, he beat me to it.

I don't think that's going to matter. If they overpower you and you didn't have a gun, they still have the plane... Not a valid point. (Not picking on you, I've just heard that argument before and it's just not... valid)

NYC's laws are more restrictive, but NY's aren't exactly anything to brag about. Only Miami or NYC? Tell her there are better places to live.

I believe that incident involved a photograph while doing something stupid.

Don't get me started.

This is such brilliant insight. Please, share more of your thoughts on the matter.

Section of hornets did a section landing yesterday, looked pretty slick.

Are you kidding me? Have you seen the DVD? The famous "Oh sh!t" scene?

Nothing is more fun than trying to breathe, while turned around like an owl, doing a defensive break turn. Did I say fun? Yeah, defensive sucks. Now, offensive on the other hand... mmmm

I found a lot of people, when they got downs, didn't tell the whole truth. "The IP was a d!cK!"... meanwhile they tried to land with the gear up...

A kill is a kill... if you get the bad guy to mort himself into the ground, it's a kill... if he's dumb enough to hit your aircraft because he's fvcking around.... it's a kill.... ;)

Yep. FRS sounds dumb. RAG sounds cool.

No. Just dont be a fvcking moron and plaster all your questionable activities all over the internet.

I've heard Dubai is a really good time. Even heard Navy guys say they'd feel safe bringing their family there.

Night time does wierd sh!t.

No OBOGS in the Charlie?

Bad! Bad webmaster! Bad! Where is Zab...

Truer words could not be spoken. There are some downright scary private pilots out there.

Many Ensigns, when they get commissioned, buy a new vehicle, sometimes out of their price range. Per usual of the military, it's either a sporty car or a big truck.

And that's why I said "most".

Can be, and for some reason, whenever you eat Mexican, you seem to eat TOO much. G-suit pushing on full stomach = the suck.

Add a Mexican out-and-in to that and it's like being tortured by Lucifer himself.
