Gaylord Fokker was a male nurse. Don't think he ever served though...

Wow, pretty quick turnaround from college to the airlines. Is that even possible these days? What did you fly while you were active duty?

Hahaha, good one. Does a broken AutoDog int the wardroom count as "roughing it"? :icon_smil

Your BAH is based on where you are based at, not which ZIP code you actually live in.

This is what you were trying to say wasn't it? I wish I had a "helicopter parent" to tell me to put the collective down after I landed on spot 7. That would be awesome! :D

Fixed it for you. ;)

"Dear Mr. Rush, I followed your advice on how to think and act like a Fighter Pilot and got my ass LITERALLY covered in tatts. There were a lot of naysayers out there saying that going real Fast!!! and tatts don't mix, but you proved them wrong. I'm now creaming the competition down here in...

Just curious why they originally designed the A6 that way. What was the benefit or requirement to land on a carrier w/o a tailhook? Thanks

^^This guy. :icon_smil

Exactly HAL, I don't know why we let these LtJg Dept of Transpor... I mean Homeland Security wannabes run roughshod on an honorable website like AW. ;)

I did some IT consulting for about 2 years outta college before going into the Marines. Can't say I really knew what the hell I was doing, but it was a job. However, I got tired of the "Office Space" aspect of that environment... After further reflection, it wasn't that bad a life after all...

Those are the helo spots 1-5. Don't know what that space was used for prior to being a Marine Air Station. Anyone know?

You could probably get checked out in one of these...:D

Ol' Buck... He'll hook you up with about $600 worth of shit you don't need

Just made me think about my roomate at WTI who had to go see "the man" after the OpsO, who was out on his boat on a Sunday afternoon, happened to see one of his birds doing some "scenic" FCF'ing. :D

The reason they won't let Harrier pilots buy American-made Jump Jets is simple... Phrogburn

Bottom third: Self-explanatory Upper left third: Stresses the importance of a centered turn needle/ball when flying through a cumulonimbus cloud shaped like Illinois..obviously an instructional tool of some sort Upper right third: Most likely a Freemason symbol

Hey Kazanski, lay off of us dumb Helo dudes... Occupation: Bombs on target, on time, first pass Interests: Notching to the merge :sleep_125 :sleep_125 :sleep_125 :sleep_125

I've heard it said that only cool thing you can do in a helo at an airshow, is ball it up. :( Did a search and couldn't find this on here anywhere, but here's a shitter doing loops and rolls.

joboy...for some reason I think you would fit right in with the "special" ops community. :D :D

I've learned twice the hard way out here in San Diego to never leave anything of value in your car (2 sets of golf clubs, gas mask?!!?, cd player, jacket). Here's a DITY move horror story: New copilot in our squadron DITY's out here from the RAG. He went to eat at an Applebee's and came out...

Someone help me here, but when you start PLC's that starts your PEBD(Pay Entry Base Date), which determines how many years you have in for pay purposes. In the scenario above, you would viewed as a Captain with 9 years in. Take that with a grain of salt though(...Helo pilot with 6 beers in...

The hyper-aggressive, rogue male cheerleader act is a bit unsettling :eek: . Let's tone down the spirit a bit. Thank you.

Was it this guy?

The article talks about 800fpm in relation to Vortex Ring State, not max rate of descent for landing. I know for a Shitter, at least, if you landed at 800fpm, you could log multiple landings and the struts would be through your sponsons. (if we're light 672fpm is our max rod landing) Let me...

...payback for velvet Elvis being held hostage. ;) ch-ch-ch-chio (altered to protect the innocent) It wouldn't have been that bad. The chicks on Tinian are hot from what I hear, anyways. :tongue2_1 :eek: :tongue2_1

I would only worry about it if you notice your palms starting to sprout hair follicles. If that happens, a little behavioral modification on your part should do the trick. :eek: :eek: :eek:

It's probably a close race between the Information Assurance brief and the Trafficing in Persons brief, as far as mando education goes... I'll agree, it wasn't the worst thing I've had to do. Some of the case studies were all right. The F-15 flathatting kind of sticks out. It was a little more...

t-44 doesn't have ejection seats... you're probably thinking of a t-45

You are in for a rude awakening if you try this. The D.I.'s will not think your "crazy B.S." is funny and you will unneccesarily skyline yourself for extra "help".

Ahh yes...Spot 9 Often, I'm too busy eating my ham sandwich and slurping away at my fruit juice to try and figure out that pesky blade-fold system. You guys were only going to get a 0.8 anyways ;)

They should at least have cranials on... :eek: Hey guys, let's try to incorporate a little ORM into our radical left-wing activities next time.

First time posting in AW, so hopefully this link works... Apparently this is an AF instructor with a foreign student. Possibly some barriers to communication present here. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8496340919174565696&q=turn+the+heat+off&hl=en
