Anybody know why they call it a Pave hawk? Is the pave short for pavement? For example, the Navy uses Sea hawks...becuase they are on the sea. And the Air Force likes to pave 18,000ft runways? Anybody.

"Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. Not bad. "The First Counsel" by Brad Metzer. Also a page turner.

I heard a story of a chief ripping into an LT because his glasses weren't AF standard. You know, the whole non-reflective lenses, black only, really small logo, nothing written on the lens. Is this normal?

Stud@ENJJPT, That's called a "jockey box". Works great when you have kegs all weekend at Havasu and such. And you're right, it can be 120 degrees and you can have a frigid beer. Ahhhh, the good ole frat dick days.

Beaver, Haaaaaaaaaaa!! That was the funniest post (your first pic) I've ever seen on here. Thank you for that. LMAO!!!

coexint, Check your PM dude.

How about this one... An IP was flying with an Italian student who was approaching the perch and was all messed up. So the IP says, "breakout". The student says and does nothing, just keeps flying to the perch. The IP again says, "breakout". Again the student says and does nothing. Finally the IP takes the jet and breaks out past the perch comes back around and lands. In the debrief, the IP asks "what the f--- was that all about, when I say breakout, do it." Then (picture this in your best Italian accent) the Italian dude says, "if you would have said breakout one more time, it would have been handgrips-squeeze, triggers-raise". The guy was gonna frickin' punch out because he thought the IP was saying "bailout". He even dicked up the boldface.

TLAR- That looks about right, i.e. "using the TLAR method" when navigating or flying formation.

Dude, It can be done. i've gotten four guys, full fuel, off the ground in Vegas in the summer in a regular old 172. Not to mention 4 full bellies of vegas buffet. It just takes a little more runway. And Wxpunk...we should just send you right to C172test pilot school, then you could legitimately bash people from behind a keyboard. [ 11. December 2004, 17:32: Message edited by: farva ]
