Remember I said to an extent. Now for discussion's sake. How many engines have you shit (non turbine related) as opposed to the one turbine failure? HD [ 10. November 2005, 06:24: Message edited by: HerkDriver24 ]

That was my point bro. I said the difference either way is negligible and pulling them back to "save gas" is a cop out. I understand the turbine blade school of thought, but I don't buy to an extent. The engine is going to shit itself well before the turbine life is exceeded. HD

Okay. Go back through the WHOLE thread. Did I once mention the words "Herk" and "Fast" in the same sentence? No. Hell, I didn't even mention TAS! And it was never a brag. I'm talking about guys who purposely bring the engines back with the intention of "saving gas". It's a cop out in the Herk and the difference in fuel and TOA each way is negligible. HD [ 10.

You could have fooled me. HD

Very nice. I'm talking about 1010 (or 932 for you) versus sitting back at 850. HD

LJ let me know when you get through school and then we'll talk. It the meantime quit trying to start yet another fight and work on fixing those issues of yours. HD [ 09. November 2005, 07:57: Message edited by: HerkDriver24 ]

Maybe in the H3. Same old honey bucket in my bird to go with the coffee grinder ADF. And I wouldn't say asspainery is as much a player for you. Yeah, maybe you have to share some seats with the 61st. But at least you don't have to train on restricted tails. HD

In the end game who cares? When the military starts paying me to fly like an airline pilot and save gas, I will. Until then I'm going to get home ahead of frag. HD [ 08. November 2005, 16:06: Message edited by: HerkDriver24 ]

H models aren't any different bro. The motto of the Herk world? Asspainery. HD

You want to go to C-17s?!!? BURN THE WITCH! HD

Herkism. HD

Why not FORCE SHAPIIIIIING. HD

Yep only about 107 left for meet Coot. Gotta love the land of the NSPFness. HD

Chains in the pubs bag is definitely an oldie and goodie. NTS overheats, the lox guage, and air sampling are always good too. HD

Reminds me of the quote from Stand By Me. "Lard ass sat back at looked at what he had created. A total barf-o-rama." HD

The itsy bitsy spider... HD

Bendy keep in mind that you are talking about the minimum requirements for the program. Other upgrades like element and formation lead, IP and EP are probably going to put you in better running than a basic AC. Not a problem on AD. I'm not PACAF so I can't speak for them. But I have yet to stop deploying since I started flying the Herk. Hours haven't been a problem. Very good for a rough wag. Upgrade depends on a number of things. Is the CC comfortable handing you the keys to one of his jets? Is it your turn to go in the rotation of CPs? Is your coloring book done? The normal range I've been seeing is 600-800 hours and about 1.5-3.0 years. It depends on the person, the unit, and a bunch of other factors. HD

Noted. In the meantime I suggest using your time to figure out the mentally taxing gauntlet that is the search function. HD

Because it's a stupid idea. It doesn't take a genius to click the button that says "search" and figure out what it does. Lighten up Francis. But you get the ones your were looking for as well. I guess it's just too hard to look in a couple of posts for information. HD

It took awhile but, Google to the rescue. HD

Bring back the Four Horsemen. That's the first good idea I've heard in a long time. HD

And you tend to have the lapel microphones that work with the dash camera too! I've been pulled over at least six times in the last few years and didn't receive a ticket. HD's technique. -Pull over and turn off the engine -Turn on interior lights if it's night time. -Keep hands visible and don't start reaching in the glove box. -Produced paperwork when asked -Include military ID with license. -Be polite, but don't kiss his butt -Watch what you say My standard answer to "Do you know why I pulled you over?" or "Do you know how fast you were going" is "I believe I was going a safe speed." It gives the prosecutor nothing (from your end) and isn't a jerk thing to say. And don't be a butthole unless the situation is COMPLETELY LUDICROUS. If you get the ticket then realize it was YOUR choice to speed, not the cop's. He's doing his job. I've noticed that cops notice things like turning off the engine and not reaching in the glove box. They don't know if you're some 15 year old punk with a gun under the seat. Cops appreciate a little wingman consideration. Your thoughts Robes? HD

I agree with everything accept "admitting your mistake". If you answer "Yes officer, I know why you just pulled me over. I was speeding." You just cut your legs out from underneath you and you have a recorded admission of guilt. Try taking that one to court. Everything else is money though. HD

The search function works too. HD
