  1. You talking about the slutty Arab and Persian women, or do you mean "locales"? Fact: I have scored a month of tax free for flying a training sortie in a specific MOA. I think that MOA's inclusion in CTZE has since been removed, but pilots at a certain USAFE base (used to) make about $10K more per year than the rest of us because they ensure they make monthly sorties to tag that MOA, ensuring the maximum amount of annual CTZE.
  2. At least someone took up my idea of going back to the white jet paint scheme in the name of "heritage", heh heh. Next: smurf paint on IFF jets!
  3. How can you guys even chase those unimportant rabbit trails when the evil spectre of aircrew failure to comply with reflective belt wear is out there?
  4. He's welcome to feel however he wants with respect to earning his pay. If he wants to make decisions as to if others deserve their combat zone tax exclusion and hostile fire pay, his opinions are woefully out of line without walking a mile in their shoes.
  5. Initials JW, circa 2006?
  6. Is the 711 SOS an FTU? If not, how is he a "trainee"? Do they mean that he is not CMR, or hasn't completed MQT?

    USAA

    Not close to the first I've heard. In fact, a good number of long-time USAA clients have departed for other companies over the erosion of support and benefits over the last 6-9 years. Used to be that USAA had the best overall package (sts) in pretty much every area of finance/banking/insurance for an active duty military officer. USAA definitely isn't the same bastion today that it was in the 90s.
  8. LogbookPro is considered somewhat of the 'gold standard' of electronic logbooks. https://www.nc-software.com/ I don't use it, so I can't point-for-point reference if it has all of the things you are looking for, but many professional pilots use it. Personally, I use an Excel spreadsheet that does everything I need it to at this point in my career (like math!).
  9. Who cares if she was in porn? Can she teach? When did we get to the point where anyone with a public job is required to have a completely squeaky-clean life?
  10. Does that mostly have to do with the (lack of) flying time that most guys in the BONE are (were?) getting?
  11. I don't understand why so many Americans like this strategy to "blend in" in Europe. Doesn't work.
  12. That was the correct decision, without question.
  13. Remember, that was a BRAC-mandated decision that the USAF had no option in executing.
  14. Your humor detector is INOP.
  15. #1 Thank God it's not being called the KC-767 #2 Hopefully Boeing learned their lesson on outsourcing with the 787 and they'll keep this more in-house (in country, at least) as the 767 was originally #3 Here's to 50 more years of USAF tanker toads getting type ratings in airplanes the airlines no longer fly.
  16. Really? You're going to PIT and you're going to "walk the pattern"? Oooookay. You'll find out at PIT -- it's not that big of a deal.

    Lancers

    Current or former?
  18. He's putting in a dip. Pretty normal for GIs that I know.
  19. Are you forgetting about the "Milkman" Martins shots of him sitting in the tub of a D model Viper in a flight suit?
  20. He's so badassed that he served as a "Combat Controller" working with "Joint Air Traffic Control in the full combat environment" and a "special dedicated crew chief". Special Ops F-15C pilot rides again!
  21. Did you miss page one of this thread?
  22. What exactly do you mean here?
  23. Is there something about having a lot of time in the T-38 that gives omniscient insight into knowing fathers/sons/grandsons who have all flown the T-38? If so, at how many hours does one achieve that higher level of awareness?
  24. Thought provoking article, for certain.
  25. Good to know that there is a natural weeding out process of the weak-dicks in the heavy community.
