  1. That SAM operator is a horrible shot. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

  3. What do you think a WSO does on a "go watch the Space Shuttle" sortie? Get the shot and play "rocket man" at the right time....

  4. IMHO Automation should be introduced briefly in UPT and be formally taught during IQT of the MWS and seasoning at the first assignment. It's a short year to learn the basics- building a solid foundation of hand flying and a strong ability to interpret raw instrumentation should be the primary objective of the UPT cadre.

  5. You could say the same thing about any politician on any issue they run on. So with your logic, why should a cirizen ever vote for anybody at all? Are you suggesting it is time for a revolution? It's a strawman type argument, but that being said, I am curious to hear your response...again, if we can't ever trust our politicians, then what should be done?

  7. Based on what? That was his stated day one agenda. Your original assertion is still invalid. The woman had two candidates to choose from - one clearly in favor of the ACA, and one clearly against. Romneycare (which was not passed as written) is not relevant to the hypothetical of what Romney would've done.

  8. Everyone I've talked to is confused by this announcement bro, hopefully some clarity will be coming soon when they announce who is eligible for what programs. The bottom line is you have to do what's best for you. If you were on the fence about getting out and you see this as your opportunity, take the money and run as far as you can.

  12. Close, but not exactly. After the Challenger disaster NASA was looking for shuttle launch pictures from another view aspect. When they started flying again, we loaded up a U-2 with a camera (the old "H" cam) and flew over the Cape at about 70K when they launched. The objective was to get high res pictures of the shuttle/booster interaction from above. I still have a blowup of one of the shots in my basement. Fun sortie!

  13. False. The AC platforms are models of CRM, and although the CSO's may play a larger role than some airframes, the Aircraft Commander still hold the "A" code for a reason. Anyone that tells you any different is trying to sell you a load of goods. P. S. It is not good policy to talk out your ass about things you don't know about.

  14. I like that my hours are mostly my hours, not George's hours. I got into this pilot business because I really like controlling the plane with the hands and feet. Even when doing long-haul, I encourage everyone hand fly up to cruise and on the way back down. Out

  15. Easy dude, most of us were forced to be here. Anyone who tries to stay in manned aircraft and then bitches about the job needs to check themselves. Most of us would love to be back out there, but this is what we've been told to do. If you want to join in on the banging, football and drinking then raise your hand the next time the must-fills come up. Otherwise, shut the f up.

  16. Also of note, platforms like the AC-130U/W/J are highly CSO centric, the pilots really are mostly stick monkeys, and you get to do the bad guy shooting.
