[stickygdm]

Chili and flying...then beer later could be a whole other thread!! Thank God for O2 in the cockpit. ...Luau?? huh, what? Yeah, like I didn't see worse back in the 20th century.

Stupid question that goes well here I think: Did they screw up the "Prince's" nametag? It had baloonist's wings ( I think, it was kinda grainy )
Related stupid question: Do stud's nametags have wings on them at all?

No. Unless earned something with wings on it before flight school.

 

[nugget61]

Thats what I thought - here's what he was wearing

Looking at it again makes me think it was a post production photoshop - looks like there's a blob over the other wing and the text is unbalanced

Some international studs have already earned their nation's wings prior to coming to flight school here in the States. For example, the Indian students in Kingsville already have wings from India.

And if you look closely, they misspelled "Station" on the sign over the hangar. In the episode, the sign spells it "Stattion".

The character in the show was stationed in Pax River and was scheduled to complete all of flight school in 3 months. Apparently the producers are not familiar with a little thing called Google.

Italian Studs already have their wings (From Corpus) here at S Whiting.

No they do not. My last job was with NETSAFA and I worked closely with the Indian Navy liason. The Indians don't have their wings when they arrive but do have approximately 70 hours of in house flight training before they arrive. By wings, I mean their wings of gold.

Actually, Little Red was accurate about the Indian Studs in KINGSVILLE having Indian Navy Wings. That is because they meet the requirements for those wings by completing our Primary Flight Training. They usually get them pinned on during a normal Navy winging as an add-on to the ceremony as soon as they arrive in the Rock.

Aircraft 246 made the appearance on NCIS...I took that steed to the Truman a few months ago. At least they used a real T-45 (alpha) for the shoot...REPRESENT!

 

[Treetop Flyer]

Nasty 246. Everyone knows that 247 is the one you want at the boat

 

[MIDNJAC]

Everyone knows that 247 is the one you want at the boat

I thought the only ones you wanted at the boat started with a "1"

 

[Treetop Flyer]

The only ones I heard getting screaming power calls or dragging their hooks across the deck started with "1"'s. Those that started with "2"'s seemed to do better. Especially those below about 250. Alphas forever.
