Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

Standard issue for at least the last 20 years. The Frankenstein boots are a rare sight to see now.

I'm the black flight boots generation.

I bet that kid runs a sub-20min 3mile

As I thought, slower than molasses. I don't think I ever ran a 3 in more than 18, even after an all night hail and farewell.

Oh, the flux gate for the mag compass? I was thinking it was a MAD component. I stand out-nerded.

Does it look anything like this and/or have an 88 knot restriction?

Oh another person who does not allow others to respond to their obviously so so so humorous retort.

I bet that kid runs a sub-20min 3mile and maxes out the rest of the PFT. Probably while hungover and having a dip in his mouth.

Here's a very recent pic (yesterday) of the current SNA population at COPT-R...

Pretty impressive..

Gunny Highway would not be impressed.

Probably USCG.

Probably USCG.

Come on now…there’s sand at the bottom of the ocean.

Come on now…there’s sand at the bottom of the ocean.

But I genuinely mean I don't think the Coast guard authorizes tan flight suits. So it would be reasonable that the one SNA and a green flight suit is probably uscg

Just having some fun, and I agree.

Then why is the water brown?

Well…that’s what floats along the top.

You insulted a young man voluntarily serving his country because hit didn't look like a Marine in your eyes (Even though you've never met him). Then you doubled down by insinuating that a 20min 3 mile is "slow" when in reality it is well above fleet average. Afterwards, you opined about how awesome your PFT scores were to an open forum that largely has no context to those numbers nor do they care. Keep your old-timer inferiority complex BS to yourself. If you're trying to be sarcastic or humorous then you're failing miserably... and remember it's the internet, nobody gives a shit about your unwarranted opinions.
