Mmm kinda. I'd bet the Navy considers Chemistry just a science major. Chemical Engineering would be a tech major. Just semantics really. At my school, if you didn't have "engineering" in your major, you weren't a tech major.

API and Primary are almost incomparable in my mind. They're two different evolutions. API is there to make sure you can retain information at a fast pace. After API you can sort of brain-dump everything. Primary has academics, memorization, etc. but it's also a physical application of concept...

"Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please don't kill me" What is that like, flying with a new nugget who may be a bit shaky?

You know that whole slow down to 200 knots 5-6 miles before FAF and dirty up and get on-speed 3-5 miles before the FAF? The second I hear "supervised controller", I'm pushing the MAX distance for those numbers. Those guys can really give you a headache and sometimes try and kill you. Nothing...

I got used to IFLOLS, so when I come to one of the FLOLS runways here, it trips me up. It feels so inprecise after flying off IFLOLS.

Lot more going on there. There was massive metal fatigue on that aircraft if I remember right. Not your "normal" situation.

That is an UGLY METAR. Good lord.

There are no boards on the T-34.

And I thought I was a post whore.

I can, because I am Chuck Norris.

Asymetric warfare. They aren't stupid. They KNOW they can't go toe-to-toe with us. Why would they fight like a conventional army if they know they would get slaughtered? Work smarter, not harder. It's why they blow a hole in one of our destroyers. They don't have any other way to hit it. I know...

Reply when you understand how not to become a target. Fire and movement. I'm not a Marine and I even know that.

Sorry, but that's a load of crap. You can ALWAYS defeat something, ALWAYS. Working with computers and electronics for a lot of my educational life, I saw this time and time again. There are always ways to get around something. In the unlikely, but possible event that he had a bomb (hypothetical...

Uh yeah no. Talk about oversized.

I don't know what a "standard round" is. :icon_tong If you're referring to military sidearms and ball ammo, yes, they don't carry ball ammo.

Iron Eagle is terrible, but SO fun to watch.

Just watched the video. That was AWESOME

Can't answer the window one, don't know the construction. But yes, gunfire in the cabin of an aircraft would lead many at least temporarily deaf. Vicinity of an airport? Why? What are you scared of? You going to make an imaginary buffer zone around an airport? That's ludicrous.

I think that's a reference to putting a bullet hole in the aircraft? That's a fallacy. Pressurization systems can more than compensate for a bullet hole.

Dude, if you see a lone sock laying around, you know better than to mess with it...

Don't touch my sh!t.

Looks like the new UCAV.

Yeah I agree. Some just can't adjust to military flying either. It's just different.

Just beware. People with 500 hours and more HAVE attrited.

I have their songs "Crazy Game of Poker", "Hey Girl", and "Love and Memories". Got any other recommendations?

McDonalds has a gift card now that you can recharge, kinda like a Walmart card. God help us.

I agree. Shooting inside the cabin of an aircraft (read as: high high risk of friendlies getting hit) is hard enough for the experts.... joe-blow CCW would be more of a liability I think.

There are those that desire to see citizens allowed to CCW on airliners. The logic being that they would be a deterrent. Obviously there are some serious issues with this idea. What is your stance from a pilot's perspective?

I think they just had piss-poor writing on that comment. I think they were referring to the increase of Air Marshalls on domestic flights since 9/11. The Air Marshall program is obviously not new, just augmented since 9/11. Air Marshalls HAVE taken control of aircraft since 9/11 though.

Are you drunk?

Stupid kills. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,177996,00.html Almost sounds like "suicide by cop".

This is the military. And that costs money, and we don't have it.

Tinker is near Norman and Norman has OU which has SMOKING HOT GIRLS.

Am I the only one that, when they read the title, thought the band O.A.R.? (Of A Revolution)

Seriously, vodka tonic is some good sh!t. That's the drink of choice when I go out. What do you mean "jack you up over time"?

:(

That and kicking a crab out of a light plane is not the greatest idea. They have piss-poor inertia and will drift far too easily.

Yeah not really.

LOL ain't that the truth.

25 kts in a 152? No thank you. I don't even like 15 knots in the T-45, but that's more due to the ground handling qualities of the jet (or lack thereof).

Welcome to the board! I'll try to answer the questions I can. This is extremely variable. The jet pipeline is the longest. The helo pipeline is the shortest. There are 6 weeks of API, 6 months of Primary, and Advanced varies depending on pipeline. Helos is 6 months of Advanced, and Jets is...

Sh!thot!

Ok, I goofed up my CEPs. The actuals are 115, 155, 137, 127, 130, 62.5, 75, 67.5. I was doing them from memory and my memory was wrong... oops. They were 30 degree/450 KTAS runs. I only dropped one bomb in the 10 degree pattern and that was a shack :) We drop 8 Mk 76's per hop (on the 75 and...

Lay off him Cessna-boy.

Nice video. I don't like Myth Busters. They screwed the pouch on a couple stuff that is basic basic physics. That video was cool though.

CEPs were 115, 155, 127, 135, 62.5, 75, and 67.5 feet. My worst bomb was about 320 feet and my best was a bullseye. Those CEPs are all manual bombing. We don't do CCIP until the last two hops and those CEPs don't count (you drop 4 manual and 4 CCIP on those hops, CEP is based off the manual).

Does that have something to do with the new carriers only having 3 wires, vice 4?

The TA-4J is a advanced jet trainer, like the T-45C. It doesn't need those avionics and such. We don't need a radar, or encrypting radios, or whatever when you're just learning to fly a jet.
