Anyone planning on using the 6-month deployment extension? I'm currently downrange and it looks like this might be my only option if places are booked solid through July. Anyone specifically asked any of the ATP outfits if there will be any issues using the extension?

Well I know who won't be getting an invite to my "3 weeks without a sexual assault" party.

Obviously a C-model crossflow dude. Nothing to see here.

You had me at "operating out of Greece".

Ironic username is ironic.

I hate that I am even wasting 6-9 seconds to answer this, but 8.8 seems to describe what socks can be worn in general, whereas 6.4.1 describes in detail what socks go with what boots/shoes. 8.8 even states "For wear and description see applicable paragraphs 6.4.1...", so I'd say the correct answer is green for bags. Seppuku time.

I've never flown in an airshow, so I'm clueless on the subject, but aren't the spectator boxes set up to protect spectators at the show only, or do they actually take into account neighborhoods, roads, etc outside the gates?

It's kind of like "take your daughter to work day". We let him in, push a few buttons, give him a sticker, and he gets to tell his friends about it for weeks on end.

Is it common in the fighter world to do practice IFR approaches under a VFR clearance?

I can't speak for everyone, but I know a sure fire way to get me to at least consider the bonus: Get rid of 365 deployments. I can deal with the queep, the SARC classes, the Freedom of Religion CBTs, and whatever other shit you can throw at me to try to get me to feel less like a pilot, but what I can't deal with is the potential kick in the junk of being away from my family for a year. You want to keep talent in the AF? Stop sending them to Bumfuckistan for a year to train pilots who couldn't care less whether they were flying planes or herding goats. There's no amount of cash on this planet that would get me to take that.

Anyone know if this guy was a Col just a couple years ago? Flew with a Col Hassan several times in the T-6. He was a former Mig-21 driver from the first Gulf War who was on his way to Vipers. I would hope he would be through the school house by now but I know how it goes with these guys.

Not sure if you're in LR, but if you are, there's a dude up near Cabot that does them for less than $100 IIRC. He's a DPE that does Mil-Comp stuff on the side. You drive to his house, he does about 30 min worth of work, write him a check, and you have your paper CFI. Definitely less ass pain than going to a FSDO. I don't remember his name but I found it on this forum.

American Flyers still the best thing going for the FIRC? What kind of turn around time is there for the actual renewal and what does it involve? I'm inside of 30 days until I drop dead.

So the CONUS remote criteria should be based on your daughter's health needs? That's what the EFMP is for.

Down 9%.

I left my truck at the TLF for 3 weeks while I flew back home. It's next to the chapel, about a mile down the main road (forget the name).

I think you answered your own question.

Does the Tundra still not have a fully boxed frame? No thanks.

So does the AF.

Except that it was a flyer that enacted/encouraged all that shit.

You won't be an 11M until you PCS to your follow-on assignment. You should be safe.

Me and my buddies would set an over/under time on how long it would take him to mention being a Wing/CC. It usually sat somewhere between 3-5 minutes and the under hit more often than not.
