Glad he got out.

We got him back to San Antonio today. Thanks to the AE crew from OKC for their professionalism and care. Duty, Honor, Texas.

I think more cargo capable tankers for a dual role to give TACC options and give our tactical airlift fleet a reprieve would be a win. Whether it be more KC-46s or bigger (KC-Z) based 777 or 330 MRTTs airframes to pack in some serious cargo. But, I also don't know how much of our cargo is outsized vs palletized/ULD so that is a giant assumption.

UCT 27-01 F-15E x 3 RC-135 EWO x 1 RC-135 NAV x 1 HC-130J x 2 (1 guard) OA-1K x 1 EA-37B x 1 B-52H x 1

I thought it was going to be a segue to the Dover sex dolls topic. "Get him a sex doll!" So disappointed it was only watches.

I'd be afraid to ask what the WD-40 lube is for.

But confirm it was still a hot chick by all accounts when you went to sleep/passed out? Oh, and it’s still not a dude, so that’s a plus. Stop being so negative guys.

Or we field a "B" that looks an awful lot like a grey painted 737, 767, or 777 depending on cargo carrying capacity required. Even in OEF C-17s spend/spent the vast majority of their time flying from 10,000 foot runway to 10,000 foot runway. Leave the "exquisite" capabilities of the C-17/C-130 to get things the "last mile" or into areas that are contested.

Also... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Occam’s Razor: the JPO was involved. And that’s it, that’s all we need to know why this got fucked up.

Have to love the unsolicited 5 years revival posts 😂

The cop that killed the AC-130 Airman just had his qualified immunity DENIED...He tried to argue self-defense.

I was there....it was electric and epic. As the players were walking off the Ole Miss PA folks EPICALLY trolled LSU and played Garth Brooks "Calling Baton Rouge" at volume 10.

I've been waiting for that for a while now. Been lots of legit concepts, but it's never caught on. The bulk capacity in that design is staggering. Combine that with some limited stealth, and a whole new level of airlift is just waiting to occur.

There was a 12-year gap in production between the C-5A and the C-5B, so there is precedent.

This place isn’t near as life swallowing and toxic as the other places I typical lurk. So much so I’ll even raise my hand once in a while. The water is warm, no need to get out. Still lots of wisdom lurking around and I still think young bucks are searching for it. Just look how busy the Active Duty hiring board posts get. Back on topic… like Clayton said, birds aren’t real, will be interesting to hear what lies the investigation board comes up with to cover that up.

Man, I could watch Lane Kiffin lose a football game every day and never grow tired of it.

Congrats @GrndPndr you got it first. Looks like he got out okay. Bonus points for making us look up an obscure airfield identifier in the title. Traverse City, MI for everyone else.

Why would you think nobody cares? I bet plenty of people on here care about fellow pilots, whether they personally know them or not. I certainly do.

This is everything you need to know about him. There are good, well meaning progressives out there, guys. He isn't one of them.

Let me know if nobody wants to see CSO drops here and I’ll go back to the no man’s land of the CSO threads… UCT 26-15 F-15E x 3 B-52 x 3 OA-1K x 2 (1 guard, 1 AD) RC-135 x 3 EA-37B x 1 RQ-170 x 1 AC-130 x 2 MC-130 x 1 HC-130 x 1

I'd wondered the same, as I wasn't ready to sign on for a 36 minute podcast / video / whatever. Went wading into the YouTube comments, and I assume this about covers it........

So afraid. This forum is disproportionately “conservatives,” - read populists - and it’s telling how no one is engaging here. You guys may be in a cult if you can’t explain yourself more than that. It’s a more socially acceptable cult - one in which you get to have cookouts with your white friends and go to church and feel like you’re normal - but it’s fundamentally a group where you avoid critical discussion or introspection to avoid being socially outcast. It would be hilarious if you were a self governing commune, but you’re fuc*ing up the country. You guys talk condescendingly on here about how people won’t debate beliefs, but then when they do you can’t talk about what principles specifically you care about. Your literal only response is a fallacy: “Dems would be worse.” It’s the 5 year old putting his fingers in his ears. You guys don’t even introspect and try to make the R candidate better. Because “Dems would be worse.” Results in your position boiling down to “Welp, yeah. I don’t like the admin making billions in office and starting another forever war that’s just like Russia Ukraine and covering up and lying about the Epstein files and increasing the deficit and exploding the debt even though they’ve promised to decrease it and increasing inflation and doing nothing to make the middle class better and lying constantly on social media and saying that the first and fourteenth amendments should be suspended and trying to force folks off the air and keeps saying they will run for a third term. But obviously the dems would have covered up the Epstein Files more and made more cryptocurrencies in office and tripled inflation way more and definitely would have started 5 forever wars and they would force my labradoodle to get a sex change 😱 and they would install Obama again. Even though all historical data discounts this.” Your position is, ironically, one that is created purely due to fear. Name your core beliefs that make Talarico a worse candidate than Paxton. Name your principles that invalidate Mark Kelly as the president. Compare it to the retards you would select. Explain why Thomas Massie was a bad conservative.
