Don't feed the trolls. They know this... they're referencing an old, absolutely ridiculous thread.

Speed matters squat if it has an absurd sink rate. It's a ratio, gotta look at both items to make that comparison.

You're not a real man unless you've worn orange under a flight suit.

Don't make me track you down for trying to start this again....

Not many airline pilots make very successful ditchings... let alone a Flight Attendant with minimal flight training.

This year's budget I believe had the Navy buying some more F-16Ns.

I know NAS Whiting Field doesn't have any.

Prowler has a no-sh!t ILS? I thought only the T-45 had it.

That's because they didn't have a clue in hell of how the TacAir side worked. Not knocking them, but it REALLY irked me when people from one community would knock another community without knowing anything about it, when you have students who aren't quite sure what they want to fly. Helo guys...

That make no sense whatsoever. Going to TBS doesn't mean squat on whether you can learn a new MOS. The reason Navy guys would get seperated is because the Navy is too fat on junior officers, not because they didn't go to some super-magic school that makes you ultra-able to learn other...

Only plane I've ever flown with an ADF is a Cessna. T-34 and T-45 do not have them. Yes, DME arcs all the time, which is REALLY easy with a HSI or RMI.

Boeing is working on this actually. And the Navy better get with the GPS program, because the FAA is way ahead of them. Yeah, they figured the added drag though would nullify the added gas.

Whoops, I was under the impression Marines were getting both models.

Why is that sad? That's like comparing the Harrier and the Hornet, is it not?

Yeah, the 2 year guys are all but almost gone. Only a few hanging around and they're all CQ qualified. Everyone else is moving along for the most part. We've had a SIGNIFICANT drop in student number in VT-7, thank god.

Wow, you're like the VT-9 guys. Hanging on to something that doesn't exist for the new guys anymore. Time to train for me is looking about 12 months.

There aren't any good stations in Meridian. That's why man created iPod.

There are still sailboats on ground in places around Pensacola. I remember one off Route 90 in the marsh. They couldn't get to it.

"She's not my special lady, she's my fvcking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive." If you don't know the quote, you're wrong on so many levels.

Do they make trailer hitch wings? ;)

I FORGOT AbOUT WHITING PARK! It is one of the best deals in the Navy. Seriously. You can rent a ski-boat and equipment for like $15/hour. Wake-boarding is a BLAST. They have wake-boards, skis, kneeboards, etc. Also have kayaks and such. Hopefully they're not wrecked from the last hurricane...

Hurlburt AFB. If I recall, it's like $150 for a DAY. UBER-cheap.

They reopened the pier? It was still closed 2 or 3 weeks ago.

For Restaurants, see here: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7122 Go to the last page for a downloadable spreadsheet.

So.... those two furloughed pilots are sharing a seat...

Question: Did ICAO implement the same armored doors and locks that the FAA did in the United States? This was a foreign air carrier, operating outside of the USA, NOT American. They don't have the same rules.

Neither in the cabin I would think, that's pressurized below 10,000 feet. But the emergency O2... not sure...

An O-5 should know better. An O-1 should know better. No excuse.

True, in "crazy court" they sure are successful. I guess that's what matters now.

That's true. The enemy can't exactly claim war crimes when they themselves are in violation. God knows they try though.

Good questions. I think the questions really start when they get captured. As it is, under the rules of war, unless I'm wrong, a civilian that shoots back at you is no longer a civilian. They just became a legitimate target. However, they are not legitimate combatants. They are not the member of...

Catch Red Dawn last night? :D

This is the same for all helos?

That wasn't the issue. I know this. The issue is whether it stopped or not. I'll look again. Edited to say: Tail rotor hasn't stopped, it just slowed to sync with the shutter speed.

Sure it's not camera shutter speed?

In other words, if she sounds like Kathleen Turner, run.

I'm thoroughly convinced that those who are against Nuclear Power get their education in nuclear power through The Simpsons. Fact of the matter is, the general populace and most politicians are completely ignorant and uneducated when it comes to nuclear power and nuclear physics. It's not THAT...

I read Irene and it immediately triggered images of Black Hawk Down. IRENE!

Lucky

Modern day? That's how it came to fruition.

Uh oh, this thread is starting the downward spiral.

But not grow up entirely... every aviator still has a bit of little kid in him. :)

They are already boat qual'd I believe, just have ACM to finish up. Happens a lot here in Meridian, go CQ before ACM complete. Yep, Boeing wants to actually add a radar to the T-45C. Saw it in a brief given by Boeing. Also want to upgrade the MFDs to color capable.

There are like 3 T-2 studs left in VT-7. They'll be done shortly.

People said the same thing about Osiraq. Guess what happened? Nothing. The Arab world does not have a means to reasonably threaten Israel, short of allying together (HAHAHHAHA) or nukes.

I agree, a military move is not the best option for us... yet. It maybe be for Israel. We know they'll generally do what they want, and we'll sometimes pretend we don't agree, even if we do. I personally think Iran will continue, like you think, and the UN will bluster and make motions, but...

And entirely valid point. They do have that right. Unfortunately, nuclear power techonology is a dual-use technology. It goes hand-in-hand with nuclear weapons production. That's simplification, but Iran should be more than capable of getting there. Like you said, not something a hostile...

Ok, Iran just decided to say "screw you" and re-opened its nuclear plant that was sealed by UN inspectors. This begs some very important questions. Is the UN at all effective? Their rules and regulations only apply to those that want to play by them. Sure, they can put embargos on Iran, but...

What a terrible movie. And I like artsy movies.

The Shuttle Commander is normally a pilot. How is a pilot giving controls to a pilot a bad thing?
