I can't speak to the unsponsored route, but having dual given (via your CFI) counts in your total flight time which is part of the PCSM.

Sign me up for a Gen 3, any idea what the new price would be?

Tunes, Thanks for sticking with this. I lack the patience to have organized this ordeal. Fingers crossed.

A 1288 endorsed by a hiring unit is not required until after your PC is approved, however it does go a long way in the Palace Chase approval process. After your Wg/CC signs your 1288 it can be packaged for AFPC. 11M, OTS 03, pilot training 04-10, approved summer 2012, PC'd in Oct 12

Search 'certification of common use carry-on equipment' on the portal and it is the first reference.

I had to research this topic and provide a reference for usage since the verbiage in the 202v3 references other regulations. In the most recent 'Aerial Certified Equipment' memo from ASC/ENAC, Bluetooth Class 2 operation is acceptable due to the low power output levels.

This assumes it was an Active Duty crew that mistook the field for their intended destination. We are all task-saturated and our AFRC brothers and sisters have double duty as they manage the pull from their civilian employers and some of the AD-isms (PT, taskers, MICT, etc) that have unfortunately creeped into their lives. There are commercially available tools for the ipad that overlay your present position on a sectional and approach plate like Foreflight HD combined with a Dual bluetooth GPS that I spent the money on last year and it has been a great tool. I can see my exact position on any taxi diagram in the CONUS and position on an approach plate. Assuming they were direct from OCONUS, I am sure the powers that be will look at the fatigue tracker, pre-mission planning, briefings enroute/prior to descent, and luckily no one was hurt and the jet stopped on the available surface albeit the incorrect one. We can lambast the crew all we want and I am sure their worst critics are going to be themselves.

https://www2.tbo.com/news/breaking-news/2012/jul/20/6/huge-air-force-cargo-plane-lands-at-davis-islands--ar-437276/ Did they back the aircraft after landing? From the article: The nose landing gear of the cargo jet stopped about six to 10 feet from the end of the runway, said Gucwa, who took cell phone video of the landing.

Take a cheap cab to Landstuhl for dinner then you have a few bar options, or head to Kaiserslauten in a slightly more expensive cab and grab dinner/bars. Have a doner for me, I will be in the AOR.

I have a HK P2000SK in .40 for my personal carry and an older Series 70 Colt 45 for around the house.

Thank you. That is all I can say.

I don't know if anyone here has been to a Chicago Blackhawks game (even better at the old stadium), but the Anthem is amazing and I still get the chills... https://www.chicagoblackhawks.com/player/?f...991anthem%2Ewvx 2 days before the kick-off on Operation Desert Storm, it is a controversial Chicago tradition, but the atmosphere and the energy is undeniable [ 10.

AFAIK ACIQ is gone for the C-17

If you aren't interested in a house and want to live downtown that is also a possibility. When are you getting down here? I know of a couple of my friends who originally thought it was a good idea to live up in Mount P or S'ville and now live down on Broad like me. I lucked into my place here, since I am living with a 19 yr old girl and a 22 yr old, both C of C kids. I pay 950 a month, utils included for a room and bathroom in a 2100 sq foot house on Broad St a block from King and a short walk to everything... Drop me a PM since I have a 4 month sublet you can check out while I am gone... Wacky

The offender who closed it will remain nameless, but if anyone else knows the story they can copy that it was right up his alley.

I know alot of the Navy folks prefer the Omega tankers with their drogue setup vs the -135 with the iron maiden attached for stability reasons. They definitely do not have much love for their -18s as tankers since the noise level is near unbearable on such a short leash. Wacky

The -135 can definitely dump gas, however the full-court press is on everyone in AMC to conserve fuel so any dumping is now nearly prohibited. Ask Scooter about his experiences since he is a tanker guy Wacky

I pimped him on it a couple months ago and have made the calls to see if it was indeed possible to get a RWQ slot. He knows my intentions and is gathering input from all the other first assignment folks which is quite the task. The news I heard last night from the mx folks are that we are losing 2 jets in Jul, 3 jets in Aug, 3 more in Sep, then all the jets go away on 30 Sep. Wacky

Anyone have any insight into what AFPC is thinking about doing with the 20 or so first assignment guys like myself out of WPAFB. I don't know what airframe training pipeline can absorb the shock of virtually an entire T-1 class (from all 3 bases) being dropped on them all at once. Comments, concerns anyone? Wacky ps I just want an Osprey, so we shall see how that goes.

Scooter was in my class and it was a blast. We had to keep our noses clean since one of the barely legal lifeguards was the OG's daugther. Scooter, do you have any of the more acrobatic dives to post? wacky

Why, b/c you have less aircraft? Try EIGHT!!!

I saw the same numbers from some of our maintainers except Scott went to 10 airplanes from 14. They were showing the drawdown for the 4th Quarter of 2006 (July, yikes). I am curious how it is all going to work out since I have a little over 1.5 years in the jet. Last month at Refresher it was surprise to the Rammstein guys in our class. Looks like my squadron is going back to a flight... wacky

I can't believe the helo guys haven't mentioned "Chickenhawk" by Robert Mason. It is a fantastic read about Huey slicks in Vietnam. On a non-flying note, "On Killing" by Lt Col Dave Grossman is definitely interesting. wacky

I second Illinois as an excellent choice. I have my human factors engineering degree as an Illini as well as all my ratings. I loved being part of a big school, but still having a small flying community. wacky

We need to get back on topic... First, the C-21 is the best assignment out of the T-1 track regardless of what anyone says... After that KC-135's to Mildenhall are close behind since we sent the most attractive female lieutenant from our class there (read only female). Just ask PAB, I will look for a picture, but everytime I search for her name on the photos a G-meter shows up... wacky [ 05. February 2005, 18:10: Message edited by: wacky ]
