First time at the FSDO? The DMV is full of high speed individuals and provides amazing customer service…compared to a FSDO.

At least write your congressional representation to let them know. One thing Reps and Senators can be relied on for is to be angry at federal agencies that screw their constituents.

Yep, critical mistake. I'm curious how strong OSU and ND actually are. Will be following the ND @ Duke game closely this weekend. And unfortunately, it looks like FSU's third portion of the season is turning out to be much more challenging than originally anticipated. Six ACC teams are 4-0 which is the first time that's happened in any conference since the SEC in 2010. Maybe its because I'm not a Bama or Clemson or Georgia fan, and our dynasty is long removed, but the new age of conference football has seemingly made it more exciting with the apparent parity.

Dude that's not true at all...I've seen this guy's myspace profile pic, he was for sure a FF

Competence...arrogance, ignorance, righteousness, etc... It's always amazed me how much the different FSDO's are NOT on the same page on things. FSDO shopping shouldn't be a thing, but it is. As to the original question, many FSDO's just don't have the time/man power so a DPE is just much easier.

The trick is to slow to around 70 KIAS, push the nose down and pull yourself around with a little collective. You only pull about 1.3 Gs. Lol

First of all, Blair worked with the Canadian Snowbirds and they were very happy with his work. Second, I personally don't believe the AF needs a section of Combat Camera to do air-to-air photography. Paying salary, TDY, retirement, disability... is unnecessary. There are plenty of people in the AF that can do great work. We have a pilot in our squadron that has a college degree in photography and does incredible work. Simply keep a database of these folks and use them. Or hire known civilians, like Paul Bowen, who is considered one of the best in the world. https://www.warbirdheritagefoundation.org/paul_bowen.html I believe that any photographer would like for people to see their final product, and know it came from them just by looking at it. In that area, Blair has succeeded. His style is unique. Finally, I see a few of y'all do not like the final product from Blair's shoot. Outside of BO.net, I've yet to hear someone say anything but very good things about the shots. I plan to get some printed up for the squadron.

I think you guys are overthinking the real reasons Ol’Billy wants to do this… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
