    Comm failures

    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.

    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...

    Wicked smaaht…wearing green to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day and doing stolen valor…TWO things at the same time!

    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!

    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...

    All things MV-22 Osprey

    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.

    Netflix recommendations?

    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?

    Netflix recommendations?

    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.

    All things MV-22 Osprey

    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.

    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.

    NEWS RIP Beards and thiccbois

    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.

    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.
