  1. Calculator is up now, and it somehow went down for JBSA Randolph
  2. On this note, CSO school track selects now. The tracks are Nav, EWO, WSO, and SO (Sensor op) with different aircraft opportunities. Nav - RC-135 (and variants), AWACS, JSTARS, not sure what else other than ARC C-130H. EC-130’s are being phased out. EWO- RC-135 (and variants), EC-130 replacement, BUFF, etc… WSO - B-1, B-52, F-15E SO - AC/MC/HC-130, U-28 (note: this track is very AC-130/U-28 centric, MC-130 CSOs are closer to navs in reality, and HC-130 CSO’s are somewhere in between) (I’m an HC/MC-130J FTU instructor)
  3. This is everything when it comes to the issue at hand.
  4. I like them both a lot as well. I am fairly moderate politically with views from both sides depending on the topic. They both have a lot I like and a lot I dislike policy wise, but fully agree that they seem to actually care. I would vote for either of them in a heartbeat over the overwhelming majority of politicians from either side.
  5. $$$$ massif and dri-fire make fire retardant moisture wicking shirts that I like. The dri-fire are softer and lighter but the massif are more durable. $ on Amazon, Soffe makes some nice cotton ones
  6. While there isn’t actually any black in the actual pattern (there is some dark brown though). I do think it looks good!
  7. Love the brown boots, but the tan shirt should have remained optional tan or brown and just stop selling/issueing the tan ones and let the transistipn occur gradually
  8. In the past few years the USAF HC-130J’s have been doing it as well. I refueled Harriers on the same track this incident occurred on when I was stationed at DM.
  9. To me it looks like it is the AR pod on the ground behind the plane. Additionally, the fuel pouring out indicates that the AR manifold was still pressurized. So wither they didn’t have time to get the transfer pumps shut off, or they were dumping fuel.
  10. SEF guy (not working this incident) and HC-130J guy here. I agree with this assessment. Left AR pod and #1 prop likey contacted the ground during the forced landing.
  11. We are looking in the Rio Rancho area and possibly considering west mesa. Lived in an apartment in the NE foothills for both times through FTU (HC-130P and J) nice but too expensive.
  12. PCSing to Kirtland AFB (Albuquerque NM) in September. Looking to buy, this will be a second VA (first one was about $140,000 and is now a rental property). That one was done by NBKC (later sold to wells fargo). I see that NBKC is still popular and that now Trident is as well. Looking in the $275,000-$325,000 range. Thoughts on the pros and cons of these two lenders?
  13. For HH-60 CSAR units there are 2 reserve (Patrick AFB and Davis-Monthan AFB), and 3 Guard ( Gabreski field Long Island NY, Moffett CA, and Elmendorf AK) Don’t know much about other guard/reserve rotary wing units but I imagine there are some UH-1 units out there.
