Well said. Banzai your post is boring and your thoughts shallow. Is there a specific thing you want to talk about or is this general purpose amalgam condemnation?

Dodged a couple massive bullets regarding those two.

I was projecting.

Negative Dibs Visual friendly, Tally tagert, right side open fire.

Many wins chalked up, but for now, today, this is my favorite:

The pilots at Selfridge have to be psyched to get the upgraded -15 over fat Amy.

Also no one here is defending any of the shit that he's crying about. Which gets to the real point, he's just upset that we don't care as much about those things as he does. Combining the arguments of 30 different people, and then layering on conservative news media as though that somehow represents the views of anyone here, then combining all of that into one hyper-conservative Boogeyman, and naming it "you guys." And then getting upset that no one is willing to take up the mantle of the fictional debate opponent he's created. Like, what am I supposed to say about Pam Bondi's obviously stupid tweet? Politicians have been overstating their accomplishments for as long as I've been alive plus a few thousand years. Yawn.

Your moral superiority cup runneth over today. bravo

The projection, defensiveness, and grasping for straws is simultaneously hilarious and sad. Not to mention how the standard “defense” is literally whataboutism. It’s also funny how the whole group is desperately in search of “good” pieces of news to upvote and cling to, even when they aren’t good at all lmao (because let’s be honest, you guys are struggling - egg prices, really?). It’s gotten to the point where there’s no use in feeling annoyed or upset at the obvious disconnect from reality - you just feel bad for the bros who have found themselves trapped in a cult. There’s so many examples of this in action. Like in the last week how the cult - who was rightfully upset at Bidens mental downfall (this was bad and should be criticized) - is incapable of addressing similar behaviors in their own party. These include obvious false statements (the fact that the admin openly proclaims that egg prices are “down 93%”, that gas is less than $2 a gallon, and that groceries are “cheaper”), obvious classified leak double standards, or statements like the admin quadrupling down that Abrego Garcia’s knuckles LITERALLY say “MS 13,” not “interpreted.” If you’ve ever seen Beyond the Curve, it’s that. The earth must remain flat, because they can’t say it’s not without severe social repercussions. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” I challenge those of you that can to reassess some of your core assumptions and to think more critically about not just if things are true but why they are said? Why is the AG pushing a narrative that fentanyl policies literally saved a third of the population from death? Maybe it’s just a misinterpretation? Hmm.

I'm fine (and in favor of) more punishment based on the outcome of the infraction. But at a minimum I want a permanent loss of license based on the decision. If a guy gets 2 DUI's for driving his tractor down an empty country road and never hits anyone or anything, he doesn't deserve jail for life. But he shouldn't drive anymore, ever again. Can the Mods spin this out into a thread called "DUI law" to keep this thread focused on the hero we lost?

I just flew a trip with one of their previous CC's and he mentioned that Whitmar was working a deal with Trump to get some new iron (he assumed 35s). I was actually surprised they didn't get the 35 instead of either MSN or BTV. MTC has local support and they have the Alpena Complex just 50 NM north, which is one of the largest airspace complexes in the US. Giving it to the BTV and MSN, where the locals have a vocal disdain for the military/noise, with ok airspace, never really made sense. I've flown at both and was shocked at what they have to do to keep the neighbors happy. Of course I was used to have locals stop me because they were upset that we don't fly low/loud enough around their house. Of course that was after they picked up our bill before we could pay for our lunch. Love the red blooded Americans in the Midwest. For a good laugh/cry, google VT Digger F-35, that news outlet really has it out for the 35s.

Fifty years ago today, on April 30, 1975, the Fall of Saigon occurred with North Vietnamese forces capturing Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam marking the end of the Vietnam War. The city was subsequently renamed Ho Chi Minh City. This day is most remembered for the chaotic evacuation of American personnel and South Vietnamese allies, symbolizing the conclusion of a long and contentious conflict. Footnote: There have been a lot of similarities noted between this day and the fall of Kabul in 2021...

Really sad story. I lived in CO for a while and there were always stories like this. I remember there was a morning in Golden when a multiple dui offender was blitzed and killed a mother. im amazed by the number of ppl that I’ve met that have had duis. The process is a big cash grab.

Selfridge is also getting the KC-46 to replace their KC-135s.

I posted a link to an EO and a quote from the EO. I didn't know that would trigger you.

That doesn’t do shit. They need to have all vehicles repo’d + jail time; and sure, revoke their license for the principle of it.

Dream gig with Delta having a huge base in Detroit.

*dEeP iNTeL is what we really need here..

Interesting interaction between Whitmer and POTUS this evening, with a gift from Trump?: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/macomb-county/2025/04/29/donald-trump-selfridge-air-national-guard-base-retiring-fighter-jets-macomb-county-michigan/83332234007/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ-VKVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFWRzNlUGtoS2lNOXJ1UkRjAR4U2ZwfOo_-YOo6KhCTIxANZ1qOtgugbUamFhqUfYAiiQlwfKN5wCApyHBkVQ_aem_hOGZv8sA4ZhAwrbCXOxQig
