Good to hear he/she made it out. This wasn't one of the units that was grounded for 3 months was it?

If it's the one I am thinking of, the options were land gear up, or land without a tire on the nose gear. Guessing the T.O. recommends the first option.

Yeah but we get to go to https://www.thecottonclub.ca/

Landing on the moon isn't all that difficult. https://my.ign.com/atari/lunar-lander

FFS very next post.... Dude, fist yourself.

I disagree. You need 1.21 gigawatts to activate the flux capacitor. I understand that both the PAK FA and the J-20 are equipped with a Mr. Fusion-type capacitance devise, far superior IMHO. I won't even get into the disparity in neural-net processors.

They don't make fun of navs or post pictures of tits enough.

Well clearly, if the 777 had a flight engineer they wouldn't have crashed.

I cried.

Stopped by the Snake River Brewery (https://www.snakeriverbrewing.com/) on the way through Jackson, WY last week. Their Hoback Hefeweizen and and Snake River Pale Ale are phenomenal. Don't know how far they distribute, but if you ever visit the Yellowstone/Grand Teton/Jackson Hole area make sure you stop in and check them out.

Feel bad for the guy and his family. What a tragedy. But of course my first question is how drunk/stupid do you have to be to respond to the police drawing their guns on you by pointing a black garden hose nozzel with no hose attached at them? Did he think they would find that funny? Then again, that's just the police version of events....... Anyone want to hear PYB's take on this?

I seriously can't watch here for more than about 13 seconds before the insane blinking forces me to close the browser.

Really? What is a prostitute bites your dick off? https://ktla.com/2013/04/21/prostitute-bites-off-mans-penis-charged-with-attempted-murder/#axzz2VkLRc039 You'll be fine?

What are the green tear-looking things coming out the swing windows? Does the J have escape curtains?

Much more accurate. Seriously dude? Open your fucking ears and close your man pleaser. No one is saying you or anyone else is crazy for wanting a family. I've been happily married for close to a decade. I literally have 2.5 kids and a cocker spaniel. What people are saying is stop trying to plan your life 17 years from now when you obviously don't have the next 2 figured out. You want to be a pilot and have a family? Here is a list of shit you haven't done yet: 1 - Get accepted into an commissioning program 2 - Do well enough in a commissioning program to be rewarded with a pilot slot 3 - Medically qualify for a pilot slot 4 - Attend and complete IFS 5 - Attend and copmplete UPT 6 - Attend and complete a FTU 7 - Make it through a 10 year flying career without being medically DQ'd, force shaped, or killed And that's just for the Air Force. I hope your attitude here is just an internet tough-guy thing. If you seriously can't handle criticism or being mocked you are looking into the wrong career field. I can assure you your time in the pilot community will be short and embarrassing - like your pecker. If you have the desire and motivation to make your dreams happen, and you can shut your mouth and open your ears long enough to learn from those that haven been doing this since you were watching teletubbies, you'll be able to make the family situation happen.

FIFY, but no. When it's 110* and your flying an E model -130 near max GW, even at sea level you climb out barely over 1,000 FPM. Most guys practiced the technique of accelerating to above cornering velocity while still in ground effect because Balad, like all the airfields in Iraq, had a 2 mile long runway and no terrain in sight. Getting as much smash as possible allowed you to raise the nose higher than normal and get above the small arms WEZ ASAP, then slow to best climb, cornering, or whatever made sense. This was taught at the school house and everyone I knew who flew E models did this. Apparently there was a Eagle O-6 at Balad who saw this and didn't like it. I was never stationed at Balad and don't know the name of said O-6, so I'll confess that the threat to Q3 guys is based on widely reported rumor from many different sources. But you only have to hear that Richard Gear with a hamster story so many times before you give it some credibility.

Then you don't know anything about the military in general, and pilots in particular. If you want to ask a bunch of pilots what they think about your specific life choices with your fat wife, 2.5 kids, white picket fence and a golden retriever, be prepared to be addressed as a clueless college kid who is probably spending too much time in the library and not enough drinking shitty beer and chasing tail. But thanks for letting us know you are an oversensitive douchebag on your second post. You could have just as easily walked down to your ROTC detachment and asked them these same questions. Since they probably are looking for people they would have spared your sensitive ego the sarcastic and patronizing comments. Good luck.

Uh, so was he the one who threatened to Q3 any Herc pilot that flew a tactical departure?

Too late for this kid. They gave me a bullshit assignment so I seven day opted. I officially don't give a shit about the bonus. Feels good!
