Maybe he's making room for more diversity on the staff. Doing so obviously made the US military better. His current team seems rather monochromatic.

If true, he deserved to die. My rule of thumb as a passenger: If I cannot drink the tap water in a particular country, I avoid flying on their airlines.

Found it!

Finally they realize the genius of ideas proposed on base ops

So what do you do if you're flying through Detroit?

I vote for one of these, set to slow mode.

I'm sure they will both arrive in a timely fashion...Boeing is known for that.

Makes way too much sense. Keep using strategic assets to bang out touch & goes and training sorties. My favorite thing about being a Tanker pilot is wondering if "today's the day" my T-6-only trained copilot gave me a pod scrape.

Tennessee lethal injection

You forget how many regular citizens view gun ownership as inherently "asking for it" much less answering the door with a gun in the hand. The sheep out-bred the sheepdogs a long time ago.

Back in the days of the Dyess Dance Machines and the Baghdad Air Races to point Romeo.

You know.. you're not wrong I need a longer memory. Although I'd argue it's not worked more times than it has. Also our acquisitions process is exponentially more f*ed today than it was at the time they were building F-4s, but that's more of an indictment of all programs not just joint ones

ACC gets L-39NGs; AMC, AFGSC gets CJ-3s, C-12s; AFSOC gets PC-12s; AETC gets Gamebird GB1s. ACC program is red air, target simulation and large formations and some air demonstration work. Stick & rudder in an analog controls jet, reps and tactical air work experience building. AMC & AFGSC is proficiency building via light utility / liaison missions. Experience building learning a new type, seeing the commonalities among all technologically advanced, automated transport and commuter types and general operational experience. Jets and turboprops split, mix and match if appropriate with Wings based on iron they fly. AFSOC is reps and sets in a light advanced, turboprop. NVG, short field, exercise and team support. Airdrop utility door, EO/IR sensor, all options Pilatus offers on PC-12s now. AETC program is an IP enrichment assignment/duty and run by AETC for other commands, rated staff in non-flying billets and training activity for Nav, EWO, WSO, CSO, ABM, etc community. If capacity allows, fly Airmen of the moment, stand outs, etc as an incentive program. Tailwheel instruction is part of the plan and with the low footprint of this airplane, could be done as a traveling program. This sounds expensive but in reality it’s budget dust and saves money, wear and tear on the Crown Jewels, builds a better rated force and grows esprit de corps because pilots want to fly.

From the recording it does not sound like it was acknowledged. Regardless, if you are on an IFR clearance, without declaring you can't just decide to change altitudes on your own. Dude goes on to say "we were trying to prevent declaring an emergency"....then you need a clearance!

Considering the released the dudes they caught last time, I'd be concerned too.

New development on this thread, looks like this program is coming soon: https://simpleflying.com/b-1-lancer-crews-now-logging-proficiency-hours-honda-buisness-jet/ It will be interesting to see how AFGSC integrates these Honda Jets in the future.

It worked with the Phantom

We are in agreement, they are 100% wrong. However.. this is what the Air Force is going to get when you gut training. Giving guys and girls their wings after a T-6 only syllabus. More time in the air is the fix.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if the cops got fired as way to send a message to the rest. Actually the more of the like minded PoPo that get sent packing now means they aren't available if the administration changes to a less friendly one.

Since my googl-fu says US Park PoPo is fed, Pete will call Don and this will go away. Carry on, Guardman.

And how many fully 'back the blue' with no concept of consequences for them.

Bottled water only, plate carrier on, helmet within reach.

with doors that will absolutely, definitely, not spontaneously detach...

pssst, @Biff_T , wake up.

The only worthy highlight of FL-Ole Miss game

But they removed control-F!!!!!!

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.

Sadly this doesn’t surprise me…
