Can't get enough ladies to pass the test? Make it optional. And do it quietly, so the political correctness doesn't show. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/02/11/marine-corps-quietly-drops-major-obstacle-female-infantry-officers.html Oorah.

Interesting. Nice find, Steve. In the AF, people freak out that we might actually carry a gun inflight. I cannot imagine how the armory would react if we got issued grenades. Oh... and that airplane is taxiing much too close to the blast barriers with no wing-walker.

Meaning you will drive to work? Or you will need to fly to work?

... at least according to this individual. https://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/01/28/california-teacher-slams-military-members-as-lowest-low-in-classroom-rant-caught-on-video.html According to the El Rancho HS website, he can be reached at work at 562.801.7500... then dial 0... then dial his extension of 57003. I'm guessing he had a lot of calls today, since his voicemail is full and not accepting any more. I'll try again tomorrow.

Why are they giving you a medical retirement for a hip replacement? I had a hip replacement 10 years ago, and was back on flying status in 4 months. Is there more to the story?

Ritz-Carlton? If Hacker’s company puts pilots there, I’m impressed.

It used to be that when I read a post and would see that someone had "Liked" it, I could click on the Like emblem and the person's that gave the rating would show up. Now, it does not do that (hasn't for sometime, actually). Glitch? Or planned change?

I didn't realize until I was away at college that his house was less than 1/4 mile from our house. One of the greats that is directly responsible for making America what it is. Bergman: trying to catch him. But I think it’s futile

There... fixed. At least based on my observations over 28 years of active duty (notwithstanding some notable exceptions).

JFK Airport ATIS.

Wing, OG, and SQ leadership get their grades (and promotions) based on how many they graduate on time, right? That's the metric.

Direct line distance... DLF- REI: 883 nm SPS-REI: 929 nm END-REI: 953 nm RND-REI: 1001 nm CBM-REI: 1429 nm

Thanks for the info, Bode. That's news to me. Can't fix the 700 mile distance issue, but we will have an AF-approved Air Boss in place (Ralph Royce), and if needed, I will create a TFR so the T-6 can land/depart. Don't laugh: we did that at the Lake Havasu Airshow for the T-6 that was a static there. Side note: Ralph teaches the Air Force course at the annual airshow convention with all of the military demo teams. Everyone at ACC/AETC Aerial Events knows who he is. This show is legit.

Hangar 24 AirFest is going to be a two-day event for 2018 (19-20 May). It's in Redlands, CA... Airport is KREI... runway is 4504' x 75'. https://www.airnav.com/airport/KREI Can a T-6 get a waiver to land there? They would really like one since military support is big deal with Hangar 24. This is will be a cool event. PM me if interested.

Day Man, You might be better off to call ACC Aerial Events, DSN 575.9274. They handle funeral flyovers, and can tell you the likelihood of it becoming a supported event. Finding someone to do a non-approved flyover in this day and age is simply not going to happen. They will lose their wings if they do it. And... yes, I know... it would be "legal". Your other option is to get the CAF folks at Mesa to get some original T-6's. Or the guy with the Spitfire. There are also some L-39 guys in Phoenix that might do it. Tons of warbirds in AZ.

I wouldn't be too quick to judge. I know some that have done this simply because the QOL for them was excellent, and that mattered way more than the pay.

If it's gone, it's gone. Starting a new, clean thread has a lot of advantages. And the info that has value will be back in no time.

You do realize the crash in CSprings took place before he was ever on the team... right?

I was the announcer for the Boise Airshow in October. I hadn't seen the 'birds in over 2 years. Both days, the shows were excellent, and the team was in tune. I don't know what their rules/limits/altitudes are, but it looked better than in previous years. "Ridiculously"? You've not seen The Patriots. For example, check out #2's low pass at the 39 second point. Pretty standard for him. And all the low maneuvering is without a HUD and flightpath marker. 2017_ICAS_App_PJT_Video.mp4

I had a legit reply, but ClearedHot beat me to it, and took all of the air out of my balloon. That said, my T-38 rear cockpit landing currency is good... rehacked 2 weeks ago. Put me in, coach!

Because the prosecution would have had to prove "criminal negligence", and "brandishing a weapon", which is in a rude, angry or threatening manner.

No clue on Mardon. Hopefully they are long gone. Absolutely terrible customer service when we dealt with them.

What would you use today instead? No agenda. Just curious.

Official word it is was NOT the crashes.
