Q'ns about retired airframe

[Max the Mad Russian]

That’s precisely why eastern block law enforcement is so ineffectual.

Concur. Cannot imagine corrupted Mustang

 

[Max the Mad Russian]

That’s preposterous. Everyone knows that Islam is a religion of peace.

I don't
Being a religion of fucking sobriety, Islam just cannot have enough wisdom

He'll be fine. He's a Russian navy-trained (GRU-trained?) officer whose "main military occupation was radio communications and info dominance" per his AW profile - which kinda sounds like the Soviet version of a cryptologic warfare officer.

Plus, Max is in Bulgaria for a huge national holiday - St George's Day a.k.a. Bulgarian Army Day on 6 May.

Wish I'm not GRU-trained. Otherwise I'd make a lot more money?

The Georgia Rugby Union is a pretty big deal in your neck of the woods eh?

No. A lot of words. Aside, I'm in Bulgaria, I'm drunk (hellish lot of domestical brandy called rakija), I'm going to be tomorrow in national aviation museum and make a picture of the only surviving Ar-196 there. And again, rakija. If I'll survive tomorrow just like that old German seaplane, I'll try to return to that text you mentioned

Your Ar-196 Intel is bad. There are two more in the US. One used to be on display down the street from where I grew up.

All Russian intel is poor. The last success was stolen blueprints of George Washington SSBN, which became Project 667A (Yankee class in NATO).
But your Arados are the gift from Prince Eugen heavy cruiser. BTW, some people believe that famous Amber Chamber was there onboard that German cruiser as well

Gents,

Reading numerous books related to USN aviation, I noticed that NAs always have personal nicknames/callsigns, while NFOs just sometimes, if any. Or maybe due to the authors' negligence, NFOs' nicks were just dropped as something unimportant?

 

[Treetop Flyer]

NFO’s aren’t real people

Most Helo and MPRA folks don't have callsigns.....I think it's a jet thing.

Every Pilot and NFO in the Prowler community had callsigns....sometimes it was their first name....and most people know what that means.

I'd argue it's an airwing thing. It seems everyone in JO helo land has a callsign now.

Most help guys I know had a callsign, it just doesn't seem to be as strongly embraced in non-airwing squadrons.

Your callsign can be your...first name? Sorry if this is a retarded question, but wouldn't that just be your name?

 

[Max the Mad Russian]

Personal callsign is possibly unique thing exists only in USN. After all, it is about liberal life - in Russia any callsign is temporary name of an official and is possibly the hardest thing to generate from rank and role, under strict fucking rules...

False. USAF pilots have callsigns.

 

[wlawr005]

...why the fuck do you care about all this stuff. You really do ask the most esoteric, and absolutely useless questions.

Said every JO ever...
