Christ...I get it...women fly fighters...so un-news. We are failing as a service...trying to hard when we keep propagating these stories. The best pilot I've ever flown with....well actually the second best, was a woman...she was a phenomenal pilot with great airmanship and instincts...but in the end who fucking cares....move on...we have so many other REAL issues to deal with.

That bad? We were Capt's together, I have dirt on him but have not talked to him in years.
Sounds like a no-gyro PAR...Fun. Jet Makes Blind Landing in New Orleans
I truly thought someone would post "four empty kitchens", before the NOTAM reset.
Man Kicked Off Plane for Being too Tall
I don't have the numbers in front of me, but the rate for "non-select's" going to IDE INRES is much better than SDE which is only 2-3%. Non-selects typically have the best chance in their last look. As a Sq/CC I had two non-selects get picked up and both were in their second look, which at the time was highly unusual. As I recall they are trying to send IDE folks earlier and SDE folks later which may open the door for late look non-selects. The board/DT looks at your entire record, SURF, and the most importantly...the strat on your 3849. Your Wing/CC usually gets at least one silver bullet that will be honored unless there is something bad in your background. Your individual circumstances will also affect your chances...if you were recently moved out of the squadron to the Grp or Wg, that is usually another message to the board. Best of luck.
Yellow snow...
Nope...if you actually READ the article you will see the WTO ruled Airbus received FOUR TIMES the subsidies the Boeing did... Even if Boeing received the same $20 Billion that Airbus got I would still say buy Boeing, it is American. Adios Airbus...move along...and while your at it go find that plane that fell into the Atlantic.
Should Drinking Age for Military Personnel Be Lowered to 18?
You guys kill me. The instant I saw Junker 14 I sent Rainman a note saying a Google search would reveal his name (something he might not want you guys plastering all over the place).
Best and worst I've seen/heard in person. Two ship ocean crossing after a few months in the desert. New navigator on other airplane is REALLY homesick and missing his frau. His crew tells him about the MARS radio system and he listens as the AC makes a call and gets a phone patch to home. Cherry Navigator is very excited and wants to do the same. Unbeknownst to Cherry Navigator both airplanes change HF freqs to a non-MARS freq, Cherry Navs begins calling at which point nav in my airplane posing as a MARS operator responds and sets up a "phone patch to frau". A very gruff and deep voice answers the "phone patch" and explains the fraa is not available, she is in the shower. As the conversation goes on the voice on the other ends explains said Frau wants nothing to do with Navigator husband anymore...Said navigator was near tears as were we from laughing all the way to Westover.
