Finless brown trout

Back on topic... I actually have lost an inch in height since I started flying fighters. I measured just a bit over 6'2" when I had my first FC1 physical, and by my 2nd year flying the F-15E, I had lost 1 inch vertically. The good news is that ever since then I haven't lost any height.

Since the Masters is about to become un-masked again...looks like this is an option!

Unless your airframe (F-15, F-16) doesn't have boldface.

Who the F*ck ever said anything about fair?

Excellent sleuthing, Steve <snicker> https://www.airliners.net/open.file/102744/M/

How's the pay and job security these days?

According to airliners.net, that's a Bristol 175 Britannia 312

And the top of the Viking female gene pool. Yummy.

Yep...tried to at least. Especially on NVGs. Those airliners up there in the high 30s are easy to bite off on as bandits!!

The only time I have ever intentionally intercepted an airliner was during a NOBLE EAGLE sortie.

Da da, da da da da...TITS! I love blkafnav's wife, yes I do, yes I do.....

How about the best TDY nametag of them all: <insert your SQ/CC's name here>

I've been in two fighter squadrons so far with females flying in them, and I've yet to see one that was pissed off or offended by the standard bullsh*t that happens and is said in a fighter squadron. On the contrary, most of them have had language further in the gutter than many of the dudes in the squadron. This may have been a limfac in a fighter squadron a decade ago, but it's a non-issue from my standpoint today. Squadron/Group/Wing Commanders who are overly worried about getting fired (and feel the need to run an overly-PC ship as a result) are a significantly bigger threat to the fighter pilot culture than women pilots are.

Been going that direction for a long time, I'm afraid to say. Gonna keep moving that way, unfortunately, as we move toward an all-SNAP and all-UAV fleet. F*ck 'em all. That word hasn't been specifically laid down at Moody, though. Sounds like you have an overly PC Wing King....(and Grace saluted smartly to that guidance?!)

Why wouldn't they deploy just like every other Coronet East? The supercruise, while technically "saving gas" over a Viper or Eagle while going supersonic, isn't actually a *cruise* mode at all...it takes a sh*tload of gas to get them up over the Number, and a sh*tload of gas to keep them there. It's just that when compared to a Eagle/Viper, it doesn't take the *burner* to get there. I think you'll find that the Raptors will probably fly at 310-350 over the pond just like everyone else.

Right now the last T-6 classes at Moody will start in Sept 06. There is a casual student here who was scheduled to be in 08-01, and he was told that he would PCS somewhere else for UPT.

FWIW, this had to have happened about two years ago, if Snooze is the flight lead.

That sounds like Snooze.

There were a lot of emails bouncing around behind the scenes among USAF pilots in early 2003 when that whole thing was going on. Toro was the first dude to actually register and throw the bullsh*t flag. I was sitting at Al Udeid, actually flying OIF combat missions, while reading her diatribe. I found it more pathetic and amusing than angering, but it was pretty satisfying to see someone like that get exposed as a poser.

Through the power of Google, a couple more links about the original woman in the article; looks like she pled guilty to a sh*tload of stuff, but no evidence of her sentence... https://www.newsobserver.com/267/story/334956.html https://www.federalcrimesblog.com/2005/09/f...e-phillips.html

What, does she have a pink seat cushion or something?

Whoops, missed that one.

Here's an additional link to a CBS news story. Apparently this all happened about 9 months ago, so it's not exactly 'breaking news', but interesting none the less. https://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/04/20/...ain689701.shtml CH, it's because she was claiming to be flying combat missions that the lack of AMs and AAMs is notable.
