  1. F-104s out of Kennedy Space
  2. Use the Qatari 747 for training Tell Boeing to move all of the people to one aircraft in San Antonio. And get one done as soon as possible Once both of them are flying. Take the Qatari aircraft apart for spares
  3. I was on the way back from the Patrick commissary. I think it was on XM POTUS channel. They had an appraiser call in saying the appraiser had already lost his job. And the only reason to lose you license was if you took a bribe
  4. Beside the Mortage Fraud with the banks She also got her appraiser to list a 5 Bedroom house as a 4 bedroom. A 5 bedroom house is a considered commercial property. With more inspections and costs

  7. The artwork is terrible because of how many times these patches have been copied. Then sold on eBay and Etsy for the past 20 years

  9. The only thing I know about the hiring. Is the Poly is the biggest issue. As far as aircraft go. They change airframes all the time. When I was there they went from Citation 2s to King Airs. When I was there they had Astars and MD-500s. Then They got a boat load of old Marine UH-1Ns. Then got rid of them.
  10. What question do you have? I worked with them for 5 years. Miami and Houston branches. As far as pilots go. They were all military retirees. Working on their second pension. They use to have non pilots in the back. But when I left they got rid of those guys and it was all pilots onboard. I can’t remember the name of the system. But as GS employees they got paid automatic overtime all the time. For being on call during the week. I believe they shutdown down the Houston branch after I left. And moved the assets close to the border. For someone new, they have some real garden spots https://www.cbp.gov/node/360610/printable/print
  11. Thats weird, The B-21 ceremony is Friday And they didn't even make it one flying aircraft. 1 Year for GE and Pratt to appeal the decision. 2 Years to build the first 8 motors. 2 Years to modify the airframe and avionics. 2 years worth of flight testing at Edwards. Air Force asks Congress for funding for the program. Congress cancels engine program, proposes buying additional B-21s.
  12. If you know the unit you want to serve with. Go talk to them and see what they have available. Join the unit. Get to know the people in the Ops squadron. Start taking pilots lessons. When the unit takes applications. Apply
  13. Can’t they just sell them to Omega? https://www.omegaairrefueling.com/omega-air-takes-delivery-of-royal-netherlands-air-force-kdc-10/

    They could have just done the camera spin. Then have everyone speak English and use English terms. Including the French guys.

    Watched the new Predator movie on Hulu this weekend. I wished they had done a Hunt for Red October language scene. But overall, a very good movie.
  18. It's been almost 24 hours. Surprised we haven't heard any Congressman. Declaring that their local Air Guard or Air Reserve unit will have the aircraft based there. Also. What will happen to the 4 AT-6 and A-29s at Duke and Nellis?

    If you are going to have a painting of Admiral Kazansky on the wall. Why use a cancer survivor era Val Kilmer. Instead of a Wild Bill Hickock era image?

  21. Update So, basically were looking at 1 Year for GE and Pratt to appeal the decision. 2 Years to build the first 8 motors. 2 Years to modify the airframe and avionics. 2 years worth of flight testing at Edwards. Air Force asks Congress for funding for the program. Congress cancels engine program, Proposes buying additional B-21s.
