That's actually the funniest part and is impressive that they could produce this off some early Microsoft Flight sim (I guess that's how they did it? with the old school camcorder shots too?) The dialog is fucking hilarious...but can fall into the title of the thread, so not a total threadjack...

haha, can't remember where but it was posted on AW a few times...you've got to watch it a few times with the subtitles to get all the nuances. It's funny shit.

Never a bad time to repost Bill et John...

I think we tried the TH-57C equivalent...torque limit times and shit (those NATOPS penguins have jumped off the iceberg though)

I may have told this story before, but when I was a stud in the HTs, I had completed the syllabus and was just waiting for the winging ceremony. During that interlude, got put on the sked as a 'solo' observer for an RI 'solo'...Cool, cool. Go get some good food in Tallahassee on an out and...

Most of my relatives pronounce the city's name with an 'uh' sound at the end. Also, was first introduced to "Please?" when Cincinnatians didn't hear something correctly.

Thanks for the response! I know it's probably hard to engage an elderly relative with such questions, but hopefully it was a positive experience for you and your dad. God bless you!

That vehicle looks made up...like something made to do the Cannonball Run. Decals are not tight. 😄

Was that the Super Troopers phenomenon?

Just don't say paddy wagon...

I think you're right...tbh, I never liked flying in the back of any mil ac (mine included).

The joke in the 53 community (built with ashtrays in the cockpit-long not functional while I flew them) was when briefing a new copilot that it went something like "You're responsible for the ashtrays and radios...DON'T TOUCH THE FUCKING RADIOS!"

I'll try to rack my brain for more...one that comes to mind is when I was in primary in Corpus when a young solo stud called "numbers for the break" from 180 out of the runway he thought he was going to...I believe he didn't make it to wings.

Just wanted to ask what embarrassing comm screwup anecdotes you all have been a part of... My first was being an FRS IP as dash-4(fat ,dumb,and happy) of a 6 helo return flight from NAS Brunswick back to MCAS New River. All IP's were flying with a student. Our CO was in dash-2 as the actual...

IIRC a feature of the Phrog that I wished the Shitter had was the ability to take ICS private to the cockpit. There were times when that would be good. Not a dealbreaker, but still a good option.

It had so many heavy hitters in it, but there are a lot of folks unfamiliar with it. The Christopher Walken scene with Dennis Hopper is gold.

Generally, Hooters requires a higher level of PPE...why are covers being worn indoors also?

I'd add Tombstone to that list of ridiculous star cast 90's movies...also True Romance. It never made sense to me that True Romance didn't get bigger box office support.

This is AI driven content, right @mad dog ?

If I understand the question correctly, no door btwn cabin and cockpit, and then side windows in the cockpit that can be jettisoned for egress.

That's what would get him fired, but we should hope, I guess.

I guess someone has to do it...would prefer a dude/chick that has more heft than a weekend talk show host and a National Guard O-3 (nothing wrong with that) TYFYS

The great thing about my mind is that I know I'm not qualified to be SecDef...more people should have that innate ability.

It's all about shoving it down your throat...especially getting these distinguished congress people to approve some of these noms...I'll leave it at that.

I have a vague knowledge of these terms...USCISCOM?

When does USTRANSCOM get renamed?

French fries cooked in beef tallow is the real solution. And everyone should get measles...Ivermectin blocks 5G brain worms...etc

It's all at the Fox & Friends level...so much lethality and meritocracy happening. :(

Just stop Rob...I do appreciate the snark though...great stuff, really..no shit.

Jesus, I'm glad I've added him to the ignore list...

But yet we all were still hazed by this training, when its applicability left the building. Prob same/same for other stuff going back over 20 yrs.

yeah, there are very dumb aspects of ht/wt standards that don't make a lot of sense...just like for a lot of years the MC prioritized the PFT with a 3-mile run. Of course, skinny little former x-country runners dominated. Nothing wrong with that necessarily, but it wasn't a good metric.

Really both are hazing...but the failed card was expected.

I'm hoping RFK jr will weigh in on the situation.

They don't know how to shoot a failed card TACAN approach either...(nor do I TBH) 😃

It's a me problem...I still can't make it work...sorry for the public display of tech stupidity (but, it allows me to not lose my ass in crypto I guess 😁) Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For...

Maybe it's this specific link that doesn't work, but I'll try some other paywall links. Fuck, I'm becoming like my parents that can't figure out the remote. 😄

I honestly need training on this.. See below. Where am I fucked up? https://archive.iswww.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/opinion/nuclear-umbrella-us-allies.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Can you explain further? Like if I pull up a link that is paywalled, where exactly do I type in the "archive.is"? Thanks!

I think it said it was the "phattest" branch. Might have misread that report though.

That's old school...looks like a current-day reliever coming out of the bullpen with a 100 mph cutter.

It's all so fucking stupid, and blatant.

The Fat Electrician is funny shit. I endorse.

I guess it's cool he slimmed down a bit and grew a beard...Glad we have principled leaders in charge. https://x.com/i/status/1899443559146668051

It's all "look squirrel!". While major corruption is happening in the open, and foreign policy is...whatever

Can we dispense with this term 'DEI'? We've all been subjected to mandatory training that is fucking stupid. <Oh, I can't tell the new female she has nice tits...or, I can't tell racial jokes in the RR (although it happens naturally amongst friends/peers)?> I think everyone knows that for the...

That's fair. My perception is that many assume different things. (of course there's similar "MAGA" views worldwide) I'd argue that rhetoric that kind of soft quits NATO has already, or will, get us there.

I'm not sure Americans realize how people (Canadians & Europeans) hate us right now. I think it's visceral, and it will be hard to be repaired. Just my 2 cents. The Canadians definitely don't think this is a troll...Great job guys.

What's a drill period? Sounds DEI... 😁

That simple political messaging that didn't happen effectively is beyond me...and is possibly OBE. Waiting for courageous congressional leaders to step in. :(
