Getting a ride to the beach...lol This image is awesome!!! Here's the link to the article. Not as interesting as the photo. https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2023/05/01/kansas-man-upset-he-cant-buy-mini-toyotas-like-the-taliban-and-isis/ Edit: this was not me.

This picture will haunt my dreams for years to come. Lol

Future pilot right here! Flying instruments via the sim would help. Maybe even engine starts and such (if it's the right aircraft). As a dude who chair flew the night before and who woke up early to chair fly nearly every sortie in UPT, having my own personal sim could have been useful.

I know an active duty gentleman who went helicopters from ENJJPT. This was around 2008-2009.

I faintly remember not being able to fly civilian once upt started (Vance). That being said, my first week at Rucker one of my classmates asked to fill out a hazardous activity form to fly aerobatics. We were at Rucker to learn helicopters. Good dude, we were all a little curious why he still wanted to fly upside down after going to the darkside of wingless noise makers. He just really liked flying.

Good old George McFly. That was the gnarliest haircut ever worn by a military officer. I saw him one time out of uniform several years before he was the CSAF. I was drunk by a pool during an ATA event, we were supposed to be going to meetings but a fellow boom and myself decided to get day drunk (I loved being a boom) and he (haircut) walked by in civies. I started to make fun of him outloud before someone let me know he was a general. This was a few years before he was the CSAF. Lol. Edit: I thought he was a hotel worker with special needs.

We just happened to discover that you owe us three more years. Lol. Fuck that.

Lol. I ran out of 😆s but this made me chuckle.

I went a few years prior to Flea. My flight CC didn't have a problem with it so we practiced arcing, fix to fixes and and whatever other things that were beneficial in a full cockpit mockup. This wasnt in the Sim. Just the CPTs that were capable of full instrument profiles. I also learned how to give shitty vectors to my buds lol. If I remember correctly, you could fly instrument departures.

A few of the dudes and myself took advantage of this, especially during instruments. If I had time, I would fly my entire instrument profile prior to my flight. Even my checkride. We flew our potential checkride profiles and that definitely helped.

Prince Newsom is an extension of bay area royalty. More of the same shit with a nice use of hair gel. Biden vs Trump in 24? JFC who is the running this shit show? Out of the two, I'd rather hang out with Trump. He'd be a good time (sts). Hanging out with Biden would be as fun as hanging out with Abe Lincoln at Disneyland. But seriously, I really cant believe these are potentially our only choices. At least Trump appears to be coherent and his sons appear to not be national security risks. Good God I hope we can scrounge together a better choice of candidates.

Dont give me that much credit, I'm just a mouth breathing rotorhead that never gets invited to the parties. Lol. But in all seriousness, FLEA you make some good points. It's obvious that I never made it out of the tactical planning phase of being an officer. In the end, whoever is in charge is going to surround themselves with knowledgeable people to make up for any shortcomings.

Still dropping Big Sexy? (KC 10) Nice!!!

CAF over MAF. Not that I know anything (I'm serious). I'm not trying to crush egos (definitely would love to crush some Eggos) but I want a killer in charge. I want someone who knows the threats and how to defeat them. Fighter, bomber and special ops dudes have a far better understanding how to employ weapons (weapons that kill) than mobility dudes. In my opinion, its harder to learn how to kill than how to drop off cargo. No offense to AMC dudes. Thats just my honest opinion. A person who started learning how to defeat enemy air defenses and employ weapons as a Lt is going to have a huge advantage over a tanker pilot who learned these things by getting a crash course in CAF later on in life.

That is a true statement.

We can just all paint ourselves darker. Will that make everyone happy? I won't be happy until everyone alive is blacker than Charlie Murphy (RIP). Race is an easy target. Simpletons get obsessed about race. Everyone wants to be a victim. The only thing that might stop our obsession with skin color is an alien invasion. Im talking about full scale war, not friendly aliens holding hands with humans. I think we'd realize that we're not that different afterall.

Easy fix, everyone gets 10% for tinnitus. Lol.

I always liked simulators because i didn’t have to worry about dieing. I think sims have their place, but there's no simulation for having your ass strapped in for real.

Fuck yeah! Edit: Not to take anything away from this video, that pilot has balls. I just noticed that the interviewer looked like Bruno.

Come on babe, I've got my mom's minvan and a secret spot where no one will bother us. Trust me....

Shit gets real at the VFW! It you dont like the song....just tell us.

Get some!!!

Calm down dude. I was making a joke. Our country is beautiful but the people running it are not. The government is corrupt beyond repair. It was a great concept, what George, Ben and the gang put together but that country doesn't exist anymore (at least the government portion). Money and power rule our political elite, not compassion. Show me a politician who hasn't been bought and I'll buy you a bottle lol.
