Troll alert… what’s the alternative?? Eat shit at the regionals?? UPT hopefuls: keep chasing the dream bros! Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Is it an issue that needs to be dealt with in the first place? Is a lost 182 worthy of spending national defense treasures? Even with malicious intent (which usually is not present in these TFR/airspace clowns), how much damage are they really going to cause? A 172 crashed into a building in Tampa. Killed the pilot and burned some fancy fake leather office chairs, but that was about it. If Noble 12 had been in Tampa, would he have actually shot the 172 down before he crashed into the building? I don't believe he would have, so then why bother launching even a AT-6? Similarly with the GWB dude, is our kill chain going to actually make a cognizant choice, weighing the collateral damage of airplane parts raining on Manhattan, PID, and shoot him down before he crashes into something? I don't think so and I think we're wasting a lot of time pretending we have "active air defense."

Yup. Slow mover intercepts can be challenging. If you’re sitting ADF alert you should be proficient. High Pk you’ll see that mission if you launch. So practice. It was a dedicated ride in the F-15 FTU syllabus last I knew. Far easier as a two-ship. Good to know fast jets don’t like to go slow. Thanks for that 🙄

I’d like to see where a 10 month old vaccine was mandated by the federal government, or one that had almost no effect in children, or one that is not a sterilizing vaccine (sterilizing from the disease)…. I have plenty of friends who weren’t vaccinated and were able to attend public school. National vaccine mandates are the idea I am against and a free society would not have them. It’s all too heavy handed and denies natural immunity. If the vaccine is so great why wouldn’t people voluntarily take? Why would the government even have to force it on people? Or are they all too dumb and can’t interpret the data like the experts can?

The most ironic post I've ever seen on this forum. To be fair, I wholeheartedly agree with you. 1000%!

If only there was another thread where UPT hopefuls could read the opinions of Online Doctors about politics, vaccines, or other random shit that aren’t Upcoming Boards.

Don’t drag the politics and COVID crap into this forum. You have plenty of other threads to do that. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I remember min airspeed in BFM exceeded VNE in most bug smashers by ~69 Knots. I think you strap some 9X’s to a U-28 and they’ll be lethal to the low, slow crowd.

Weird, it's almost like policy decisions exist in gray areas with nuanced details that need to be considered to ensure the policy actually works. Plenty of jobs subject people to background checks, drug tests, and vaccination requirements. That's an employer's prerogative much like it's your prerogative to go work somewhere else if those conditions are too onerous for you. Alternatively.. GUBMENT BETTER NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO

Except they do. There have been vaccine mandates for schoolchildren for decades. There have been vaccine mandates for the military for just as long. Employers in various industries including airlines have required certain vaccines for years. So, sorry, but you're clearly wrong here. Public health requirements have existed without major issues in free and open societies for a very long time. They are not mutually exclusive concepts.

A 172 with 50 gallons of AVGAS might not be a problem but a Bonaza with 500 pounds of explosives in a TFR is most certainly a threat. Whether it be the President hanging out at Camp David or a stadium full of people there is a real threat IMHO.

Holy shit that was painful. Call sign Ray Charles?? 😂 I hope that guy is better at bomb dropping than running a slow mover intercept. On a guy following a river no less! Jeeezus! Fly over top of him and hit “mark”. Takes minutes for him to create significant distance from the point. Easy to re-acquire. Plus why a single ship? Budget cuts? 🤔

Pawn, you are a proving to be a beacon of hope this morning…..you are at the five yard line— now just use the same logic with COVID vaccines mandates.

He didn't leave from the US. Boy, have you swallowed the big government lines. Again...I'm way more mad that a government that claims to represent its citizens has seized so much power over such a small amount of risk than I am that someone exposed that government's actions. I am not at all convinced that this system makes us safer. At all. Didn't catch the Las Vegas shooter. Didn't stop the Boston Marathon bombing. Near as I can tell, it's a bunch of security theater. And to inch us back to the topic...you don't think the government will turn those same tools on people who oppose vaccine mandates (for example)? It baffles me that you support the idea of an all-seeing eye for government while railing against things like militias and Trump supporters getting labeled as terrorists. Where do you think the government is going to turn those tools next?

There's no way you voted Libertarian. 😄

Lol. Sorry I’m late to the online party.

https://news.yahoo.com/biden-ignore-us-reporters-amid-222227885.html Boris Johnson starts answering questions from the press. Team Biden then removes all press from the room. The clown show continues in the White House. But hey, at least the VP has the border under control. Oh wait…
