  1. On my first deployment (>20 years ago, OSW, KC-10, BO), I was getting ready to refuel some Vipers. Pretty standard OSW cake walk sortie. I'm in the back feeling proud to be hacking the mission like a big boy. When the fighters get closer, Flight lead lets me know that we have a long cable trailing out of our tail. My mind immediately thought about a caution I had made fun of in the -33. Basically, recovery procedures if you're a dumbass BO and lower the boom without the hydraulics on. The FE was a SMSgt with tons of hours. He asked if he needed to come back there and I told him no, I figured it out. Humbled, but I at least I know why that caution was written. There was another dumbass BO like me who did the same thing. BO was a great job to have in my early 20s. It was like being a rock star. Traveling the world, forgetting checklists items and chasing fat chicks. Back when Anna Kournikova was hot.
  2. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/joe-biden-takes-elon-musk-twitters-new-content-moderation-spews-lies-all-across-world Twitter deal has the "leader" of the free world, NAACP and GLAAD scared. I wonder if it's because they don't want an equal voice for the people after all? When did the Dems become the party of censorship? I thought the Repubs hated free speech? This, once again, is comical.
  3. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-majority-whip-track-repeat-nazi-germany-downplays-inflation-ahead-midterms So apparently since an illegal alien from Canada attacked Mr. Pelosi with a hammer in a sanctuary city (under Biden's watch), we're on the verge of becoming Nazi Germany. Don't vote for any Republicans because Nazi's and racism and stuff. Good message Dems! 👏
  4. The whole crew probably had that same problem. I wonder if the Boom still gets the same "oh shit" factor through the cameras? Seeing the boom strike the tail that hard would have made me shit my pants fo sho. Lol
  5. I know I've been having some fun at Chida's expense but I too have a shadow box from retirement. There are medals that have meaning to me as well but not the AF training ribbon. Lol. Sorry Chida.

  7. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/03/politics/david-depape-paul-pelosi-attack/index.html He's an illegal alien from Canada who entered at the southern border. Lol. This is comical.
  8. And someone has to hide in the bushes and peer through the window
  9. I just wanna watch them try.

  11. FiFY
  12. That leaves room for two gunners!
  13. No matter how good you are there's always someone better! Lol
  14. And a catcher. She's got a mean knuckle ball.
  15. True. But you haven't flown with this guy. Lol
  16. Lol. I agree with you Brabus but to HeyEng's defense, if the gear handle and flaps are almost out of reach for the pilot, it can make things a little challenging for the left seater (As you are probably aware). Especially, single engine in the Wx. But other than that, it's an ILS. Does the KC-46 have autoland? Another serious question, will the pilot be using piddle packs? Is the pilot going to be shitting his pants too (not because the ILS is too scary)?
  17. She was known for her right handers.
  18. Its the transition from when BQZIP's mom first started smoking Virginia Slims until present day.
  19. https://www.foxnews.com/us/biden-admin-accuses-arizona-trespassing-building-barrier-u-s-mexico-border What's the big deal with plugging a few holes (sts) in the border?
  20. My eyes 🤪 are up here!
  21. This is the truth. We (USA 30 years ago) started the sellout of our future selves for the almighty dollar. We now get to pay for it.
