Totally fake, picture show an annular eclipse, the eclipse on Monday was a total. Cool Photshop though.

I don't respect McCain AT ALL, because I know his roommate from the Hanoi Hilton.

Sort of...

6.9 times more if you were a pilot. Sorry brother we have not done the ACJ test folks justice, hoping that changes.

A lot of focus on the Nukes and Missiles but that is not the issue, at least in my pea brain. With moderate effort we could take out his nuclear sites and the missiles, it is the 18,000 artillery pieces with in close proximity of Seoul (a city of 10 million), that is the real tactical problem. I would love to be the parked in a SCAR orbit just south of the 38th coordinating with dumb trucks full of SDB and CBU pushing through every five minutes.

You wouldn't laugh if you'd stood patrol with a million Chicoms poised to cross the Yalu...

I went to SOS (under protest), 60 days after I pinned on O-3...Being the most "junior" guy there I actually had to pull CQ duty one weekend to sign people in and out. If the A-10 pilot's Wing/CC has any sack he would elevate this until he was told to pound sand by SECAF. I know someone on the board knows the SOS/CC, please tell him to pull the bottom of his ears as hard as possible until he hears a loud popping sound.

"It Depends"...the selection process is some sort of voodoo magic. As a sitting SQ/CC I had three non-selects picked up for IDE in one year, two were at their second look, and two went on to ASG.

FYSA (sorry if I am telling you things you already know), I inquired last year and they had already used all their FY16 grant funds. They got their FY17 funds a few months ago and sent me a notice, I applied immediately. When I called they told me they typically have enough funds to complete 30-40 projects in my area, they were hoping for more this year. They also have two separate programs. One to harden older homes built before 2002 and another (shutter gap), for newer homes that don't have shutters. My house is only 10 years old and was built way above code but I don't have shutters. Depending on your needs and age of your home you may be able to move up the list by pursing only shutter gap.

I'm retired now so I hope all you assholes get off my lawn and move to Destin.

Second the motion. I applied last month and they did the assessment last week, waiting for bid results.

Good stuff. Wait until the winter when some of the leaves are gone and the air is cold and more dense...the sound really travels. I was at a soccer camp last night east of the high school and had a great sunset view of some CVs with the gunships wailing in the background...its like music! PM if you need anything.

Welcome to the Gulf Coast...Where did you end up buying?

Makes sense now that the Saudis have ramped up their fight against VEOs. I know the Taco Gilberts of the world think AT-6 or A-29 is the best option because there is already a maintenance backbone, but the Scorpion jet is a growth platform with a huge advantage in speed and range. The speed advantage alone not only reduces the time to respond to a TIC but also reduces the number of aircraft required to cover an area using the lily pad concept. Add in dual sensors and a HUGE internal payload bay and it is truly a game changer in this arena.

5-6 hour endurance and can get to the target at 400 knots...crushes the other offerings.

Steve Davies off the top rope.

Don't forget your black socks and house slippers.

Video from the crash site. It looks like a flat inverted impact. https://kxan.com/2017/07/10/at-least-four-killed-in-c-130-military-plane-crash-in-mississippi/

Chemtrails test gone bad.

I was trying to get all F-35 Bubbas at least 72 virgins, but I'll give them to the Raptor bros if you'd rather.

F-35 Bubbas I am in need of some unclass info on the F-35 for a project. If able please PM me for details...thanks!

Epic

Ya think?
