  1. He will probably get a presidential pardon because of some stupid reason fearless leader will make up...
  2. I'm too lazy to read back to see the references of SWA, but I did my ATP at Higher Power in September and got a B737 type with it all being in the sim. There is something about taking a check in the sim, they have a much better MC rate than an airplane... Or that was my luck in the 130. All that being said, the GI Bill paid for everything and I have an interview with SWA in a week. Just my $.02. Cheers
  3. My crew and I fragged the shit out of that ford and managed to put our fair share of the holes in the towed vehicle on the first day of live fire. To all you U-28 pansies getting out because of orders to Cannon, fuck you, hope you enjoyed florida and welcome to team cannon. I don't know about you, to the ones getting out because of cannon I'm sure I know about you, but I requested this place/command for the MISSION... I've had a blast here over the last 5 years and am getting out for other reasons. But seriously, if you dropped papers and still have a commitment... I'd welcome you and have a very nice house for sale in the North East of this amazing town and would give you a "friends" price but hope to be gone well before you show up. cheers
  4. The faster the load leaves the aircraft the better, makes the cg shift easier to handle than it happening slowly. The reason for the power pull on paratroopers, think 60-ish jumpers weighing 250 lbs a piece all moving aft all at once and as each one jumps... Again, never saw the cbt... Had to figure that out myself.
  5. Number one: not a fighter pilot... I think I'll head to the nearest kill box and shoot my internally carried load all over the place... Are you fucking serious?!! I've had a 9-line passed via electronic means (not available to everyone)and the only reason I knew the engagement happened was the explosion that happened on the ground and the JTAC saying, yeah that's one of ours... This shit happens more than you REMFs know/want to admit it does. And you'll have to dig deep into the daytime sitreps but there are many occasions where this happened and nothing else was ever heard regarding these incidents.
  6. OH SHIT!!! Not the Chief Scientist!!! Us stupid pilots are in deep trouble... cheers
  7. How does someone intentionally land gear-up? Still have their wings? What did the CVR record them saying? "Hold my beer and watch this shit?" I saw a tweet do the same with speed break and flaps full land uneventfully, and flew the next day after it was hoisted onto a flatbed...
  8. If it goes it's just a sign of the state of our Country...
  9. Or a few maintainers and cans of yellow spray paint... Back to the original topic; FWA in Afghanistan, I don't believe it. 79 days left until freedom.
  10. https://www.cnn.com/2013/07/07/us/plane-crash-main/ Did they fly 17's in a previous life? At least they found the right runway, my condolences to the 2 that didn't survive. But seriously... ITS A FUCKING RUNWAY!!! LAND ON IT!
  11. That was my exact description...
  12. Wasn't sure where to post this... But it definitely seems like a WTF are they doing "exploring the wonderful tourism in Pakistan" or any other mid-east third world work shit hole... I honestly feel bad for these people but I have to ask the question: Darwin at work? https://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/06/23/gunmen-kill-11-foreign-tourists-in-pakistan/?test=latestnews
  13. Didn't we already have one? Albeit a few years ago, maybe when Rainman and M2 were still wet behind the ears Lts? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_AH-56_Cheyenne
  14. I may be wrong or drunk, probably both... At one time didn't many bases have t-37s as a proficiency airplane?
  15. How short? Like in the underrun or COMPLETELY off the runway? WTF is going on with basic "aimpoint, airspeed" every pilot was taught in UPT?
