The Iran thread
Shifting back to a more tactical discussion it appears the Saudis and UAE are VERY upset by the latest attacks from Iran. Pakistan has now joined the Saudis and there is talk of a ground incursion into Iraq to target the threat vector directed at the Kingdom. Saudi has recalled 50,000 reservists. Pakistan has deployed a squadron of fighters and thousands of troops to the Kingdom...next few days are going to be interesting.

Mountain Home airshow crash

A little local police blotter activity to show how some of our young Airmen continue to impress. This after an incident several years ago that saw a group of USAF motorcycle riders doing 100+ over the Pensacola Bay Bridge. ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY CLOCKED AT 130 MPH IN 35-MPH ZONE ON U.S. 98: A Gulf Breeze Police Department officer was on patrol around 11:45 p.m. on May 14 in Gulf Islands National Seashore on U.S. 98 when he observed a speeding vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. The officer did a U-turn and clocked the vehicle at 118 mph in a 45 mph zone then 130 mph in a 35 mph zone. The suspect, who was successfully stopped in Publix parking lot, was driving a Toyota Camry and identified as 22-year-old Cori Thomas. Per the arrest report. Thomas stated he didn’t have a reason for driving so fast other than wanting to “open it up.” Hurlburt Field was notified of the arrest.- The Next President is...
Based on the SCOTUS ruling which declared that a president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken under core constitutional powers, and presumptive immunity for all other official acts, you would think there would be a counter balance that restricts him or her from dumb $hit like this. I see the potential for abuse by both sides.- What's wrong with the Air Force?
AFSOC had a mixed model for many years. In the Gunship, basic C-130 Qual CP/AC/IP training was accomplished at Little Rock. All mission training was accomplished by the training school house (19th SOS), at Hurlburt. Slife broke that model and moved Gunship training to ABQ along with a bunch of T Coded birds. A huge loss in my opinion and not at all efficient for a small fleet. Under the previous construct new folks would fly with a variety of current and qualified folks on joint training lines, the transfer of knowledge was MUCH faster and they graduated combat ready. As is usually the case there was a political play to keep iron in ABQ.- Mountain Home airshow crash

Thinking about a second plane so my son can build hours. Debating between an RV (Never flown one and admittedly don't know much about them), or a Cherokee or something in that class. I had no idea RV-8s were going for so much...RV-4 more appropriate?- Flying Videos Thread Part 2?

Last week I had what I can only describe as a "pure" ending to a flight, I live for those moments. Unfortunately as a ham-fisted pilot I don't get to realize them as often as I would like. The flight started off with weather that was not forecasted. Taxiing out there was a literal wall of fog approaching the field obscuring the trees. I hustled up and got airborne just before the field went below mins. I did not see the ground for the next 300 miles. I had extra gas and was now questioning the TAF at my destination, already planning divert options when 40 miles from home the sky opened up and I could see the coast. At 35 miles I could see the field and asked for lower. Surprisingly they cleared me the visual from 35 miles out. I did some quick pilot math and pulled the throttle back to just above idle and started down. I never touch the throttle again until I touched down. Blind squirrel found a nut, divine intervention or pure luck...It just felt good.- The Next President is...
Former Obama Chief of Staff clearly describes the self-emolument of the DNC. SnapInsta.to_AQO7GAc5KKmFfOMYo6mYq6VBNn2cRMqnTW_dfBtpgJpC1h2qIzZ6pKxLmCbAUns-A5gdw7Blmgda76Nm3xQUNO1zeO7lRrrMevPXN-c.mp4- Florida King Air Crash off the coast of Florida all 11 rescued
Did anyone see the events around the King Air that crashed (ditched), 80 miles offshore? Sounds like a movie in the making as they ditched and all 11 people on board survived and were rescued by the Coast Guard and the 920th. Everyone surviving a ditching then being rescued...Well done- GA Aircraft Flown
I think @EvilEagle owned a Bonanza, not sure if it was an FSSA or an A36, very similar as I understand.- The Failed Liberal State of California
Reading the financials California has a $29B deficit as of January that is projected to grow to $35B next year. The deficit, driven by high spending and lower-than-anticipated revenue (shocking result as people and businesses leave). While I do applaud that as of Jan of 26, undocumented adults who are not already enrolled can no longer apply for full-scope Medi-Cal, they have a new proposal to provide full scope dental care to illegals for FREE. Do the rest of Cali citizens get free dental?- The Failed Liberal State of California
