Yeah... no. First off, go take a visit to an airport like Destin. It's a non-tower field that mixes anything from a Super Cub to a Learjet (even had a 727 come in once). The airfield is super busy. They manage. Second, low time joe-schmoe probably isn't buying an Eclipse jet, or any jet. Most...

I knew you were gay.

Not for a while. Airline industry big. Airlines don't want to lose industry. Big planes cost lots of money. Airlines don't want to lose money.

I wasn't blasting flight school and I'm not a nugget yet... I'm just a stupid Cone.

MiG-31 is real. http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/russia/airdef/mig-31.htm

Beautiful! I love the Python. My ex-roommate almost bought a P9. What a peculiar pistol. I REALLY want a Webley... I think it would look neat next to my Nagant revolver.

I prefer the ERJ over the CRJ... because you can luckout and get seat A which is a single column.... ahhh no one to sit next to you. I HATE HATE HATE CRJs. SO small, so cramped.

J1 = Meridian - T-45C J2 = Kingsville - T-45A However, Kingsville is now starting up T-45C classes I believe.

Weird, mine was no-sh!t like I laid out. TACAIR - J1, J2, E2/C2 Maritime - P-3, E-6 Rotary - Helos Those were the choices available to me when I selected out of Primary.

actually, it's TACAIR, Maritime, Rotary. E2/C2 falls under TACAIR.

Well, I'll give you a running history. In MA I always, ALWAYS bought from Four Seasons Firearms in Woburn. They are without a doubt the best, most trustworthy gun store in the state that I'd been to. In FL, I bought from Mike's Gun Shop in Pensacola. They were a little overpriced, but had...

Congrats A4s, I'm going to buy stock in the lime industry now.

Great clip. "You call him an a$$hole!"

That's probably a fault of the Rhino pipeline than the TraCom. It makes perfect sense to train a jet student in TraCom to be single pilot. However, and I know you know this, Rhino RAG used to select E vs F at the end of AWIs... I'm not sure why the don't do that anymore, but none of us thinks it...

Priceless.

I hate that in GENERAL. At home: Me: "Hello?" Someone: "Is Mr. Fly Navy there?" Me: "Who's calling?" Someone: "I'm looking for Mr. Fly Navy." Me: "ID yourself or you don't talk to him." Someone: "This is Pain In The A$$ Telemarketer" Me: "This is Mr. Fly Navy. Goodbye."

A good show, but not even close. Quantum Leap was an outstanding show. I used to watch it religiously.

Yep, on the money. The T-6A is not a true glass cockpit in the sense of MFDs and system management. You still have a classic instrument scan in the T-6A type setup of digital gauges.

BANG! WOOOOOSH!!!!

Sounds like the FAA really is working the point-to-point idea. I remember reading that they wanted to scrub the hub-and-spoke system of today and move to a point-to-point system flying smaller jets, such as what we see here. It would revolutionize air travel. And Portland is far from a hub...

It's a helmet fire and a half at first. Your scan is entirely different and the information output is so overwhelming at first. MFDs present you with a LOT of info on one screen. After a little bit though you get into it and after a while... you wonder how you flew on steam guages to begin...

That's just crazy. I'm damn glad the WSO has the ability to eject us. I can certainly see how sometimes a pilot could get so involved with saving the aircraft that they might not make the right decision in enough time, and the WSO could recognize it and pull the handle. Or, coming off the cat...

Interesting... never saw the final episode. So who was Al? A guardian angel?

That C-130 pilot had nuts. Seen that video multiple times.

Very true. A classic Navyism. "You're going to make a strip chart by hand because it's the basics and we had to do it all the time." Except for the fact that all CHUMs, etc are now electronic... buy hey, why not. Whatever would we do!! I remember doing that in the T-34. What a red-a$$. You...

Charlie too. They have two DDIs and one MPCD. Not as much glass as a Rhino... but a Charlie is a true glass cockpit. T-45C is glass, two MFDs.

Iron Eagle was so bad, it's good.

Some FIT guys here have that patch.

I flew the T-34... now I fly a Rhino... I did just fine... Systems management is the hard part... getting the flying skills down first so that they are secondary is more important. The hard part about the Rhino is not flying it... it's easy to fly... it's managing the systems AND flying.

Night trap... cat shot is the launch part ;)

Goootcha. Nice little work around.

You have an RMI? Why would you ever punch it into the ADF... or does your RMI not support a VOR needle?

"What? Fat girls need to get laid too... they just have to pay!"

The only person that says this is someone who is so afraid of their booze tasting good because they think people will think their penis is small...

Be careful Brett, it's a trap. He just wants more guns!

I used to love reprogramming that...

Well, I'm not too sure yet if you can add-on to the permit once you have it... I THINK you can. So, if you're a resident of another state, technically you can still buy firearms there... so you should be able to import them. However, just going across any state line to buy a rifle would not work...

Because people are morons. They drive too fast, get a false sense of security with 4WD, or are inexperienced. Ice is the big one... black ice can make you do some freaky sh!t.

What a load of crap.

Oceana was the only fighter base after Miramar was given to the Marines. Lemoore is strictly a strike-fighter base.

Thought it was MH-60S, at least that's what they called it at HC-3 4 years ago... did it change?

I've never seen your name before yet you have 1000+ posts... holy Private Spouses Corner Batman!

Never heard that. Selection should be based on composite score. Composite = [(Flight NSS * 0.9) + (Academic NSS * 0.1)] * 4

I did IFS out of Destin while in Pcola. Paid lots in gas, long commute, but freakin sweet scenery and good training (very very busy airspace).

Different communities, different cases I guess.

Sure about that? Typical NSS calculation is 10% ground school. I could be confused with T-45 land though, which was definitley 10%.

It's my quote... for some reason he tagged your name in there...

I once drove from WPI to Holy Cross during a state of emergency because it was snowing so bad. Why? To have a snowball fight while drunk, that's why. There was like 2+ feet of snow on the ground and more coming. I couldn't get past 35 MPH without losing steering control... luckily I was the only...

In ROTC, had a friend in the unit from VA. Didn't know how to drive in snow/ice. Too bad that's a common occurence in MA. She used to ask me to drive her places when it was ice/snow. Now, driving in ice/snow is a practiced skill... but the only way to learn is to do it. Silly southerners.
