Shut it down...everytime there has been a shutdown they blame the GOP and everytime the GOP does better in the mid-terms. And before you through all the GOP and Trump Tripe out there...where is the current freaking President? Isn't he supposed to lead?

Opinions of lower-ranking troops could soon be considered in officer promotions "The pilot would include anonymous peer and subordinate feedback to be submitted as part of command selection for O-5 and O-6 ranks." Our Air Force leadership would look COMPLETELY different. Douche nozzles like Slife and Cat 5 would be busting rocks in the gulag.

Probably what FSU players will be eating....on the couch....at home...watching all the bowl games.

Finally arrived, can't wait to shoot it.

They were far from new, both belonged to NASA who was happy to divest them. I "stole" them and got funding for the test from OSD that would turn into Combat Dragon. We used a group of Navy pilots that had been working the A-29 at Pax River. They were without a home so we rolled them in. One was outfitted with an extended boom and a development version of a GPS based stationkeeper system for cropdusters strapped on the front nose. Basically a series of lights that visually depicts spraying lanes for pilots. I understand it is very common now. The second was outfitted with a tank and a spray coil system that was used to test anti-ice systems. Airplanes would fly behind the bird as it sprayed water to see how thier systems dealt with ice build up. Here is bird one in the hangar at Pax, its been painted and we are about to remove a bunch of the NASA gear.

I don't believe the postulated theory is threat is a actor trying to trying to fly a gamma source in. More likely the fear is DNI/FBI/HS beleive an unaccounted for weapon (or material), has been smuggled into the US there is an ongoing search for said item. It is widely known that NYC, Washington DC, borders and some other major cities are protected by ground based gamma detectors. The fear for NYC has always been that an actor could exploit the waterways and bring one in on a ship. The activity in NJ makes some sense as it is across the Hudson from NYC. If there is a weapon on the ground it is likely heavily shielded and traditional wide search sensors on aircraft might not be as effective. Searching with UAVs at night at much lower altitudes could be an effective/efficient way to methodically search. DOE has been using UAVs to monitor disposal/storage sites for years. Something is going on...I hope this is all tin foil hat stuff although I would not be anywhere near Times Square on New Years eye.

This "theory" has merit and is being quietly whispered by lots of folks.

Not just pilots, people here in NW Florida all worked up the other night about a "special military exercise with 40+ airplanes flying fast down the beach at high altitude.

Time for its own thread. Someone is going to get hurt. This looks like an airsoft gun, but a matter of time until folks start opening up with ARs and AKs. AQMmtPlt9HCUgULEzVQ_eOfLeHRuDMci5hnsv-dfz0uV9vTznxxTRjj_CkPH1bfSVcMp1BE9ZNieebOnOTInA7mo.mp4

Not a knock against the Gators, just a demonstration of how NIL is destroying College Football.

Stunned he is not on the list, hope they keep digging.

As Danger mentioned call, the worst they can say is no. Worked out for me, they were very accommodating when I called and they worked me in for a pass at 500'. Truly sorry for your loss.

Not so fast... They even built a PAC to run ads in his favor.

Slife has to be pissing his panties.

Drone V Drone BFM...Crazy times! Drone.mp4

Having flown it, I hate to see the airplane and the crews get a bad name when it turns out the plane was built with parts that did not meet MILSPEC. Appear criminal in some aspects.

I have all three and typically carry the Hellcat. I highly suggest you try all three before you buy one (unless you are over-prepared and just buy them all like I did). My local gun range has loaner weapons and it is a great way to try before you buy. Also, suggest you put some work in and practice removing the gun from conceal to ready, I learned some additional lessons there. I started with the M&P Shield, I was drawn to it because I have very big hands (don't get excited, I'm Irish so it doesn't translate elsewhere 😛 ), and typically my pinkie extends below the bottom of the magazine which is not optimal for a controlled grip and accuracy. The M&P has a long grip, mostly because it is a single stack which is its biggest weakness. As a single stack it carries 8 +1 in the pipe. If you've ever been in a gunfight you will know you want to establish fire superiority quickly then either defeat or retreat with speed. 9 rounds goes quickly in a dynamic fight so I started to look for other options. The Hellcat is a double stack so you get 11+1 which is great but the grip is a bit shorter and right on the edge of fitting well in my hand. It is VERY balanced and carries light but for me it has one weakness. Again related to the size of my hand, I have accidentally hit the mag release when doing quick draw exercises on the range. I have tried to train that away but what a horrible outcome to pull your weapon in a time of need and drop the mag. The P365 is a great choice and I would carry it but I currently have the wrong holster. 17+1 and a long grip is perfect for my oversized hands. I run a HS507C X2 red dot which is great but does require training. When I worked with the teams I always used iron sights with tritium. Again I suggest training as a red dot COMPLETELY changes your sight line and the muscle memory you will use to get on target. I was very surprised to note you don't just put the red dot on the thing...you have to work your sight line to find the red dot then put it on the thing. I got the Sticky Holster as a gift and have used it for several years. It is hot and humid in Florida and I like to hear light shorts and a T-shirt, the Stocky holster simply slides into your waist band and away you go. As I mentioned I am carrying the Hellcat, mainly because the 365 is too heavy for the sticky holster and with the Holosun, the P365 does not fit well. I've ordered a BravoBelt, I think that will be the best for me and how I like to carry. If you find yourself down near Eglin, drop me a note, you are welcome try all of them - yes even you @disgruntledemployee. Good luck and hope to hear the experience of others.

Alabama didn't get in so yes they got it right. SMU should not be in, they will get destroyed. Oregon looks stout.

No it does not, that math is not mathing..Yes Ukraine has taken horrible losses, Russia has taken six times that and they still have not won. Ukraine is willing to negotiate now because of Donald...plain and simple.

Lots of talk about Rudolph Giuliani demanding $1-2M to work a pardon through Trump (without Donald's knowledge), during his first term.
