More like "The climate has changed... don't do low flyovers". Steve, "Iowa" State. I know that Ohio and Iowa are probably the same place to a Brit. Kind of like Ireland and Northern Ireland to many Yanks.

4 of these on Lake Amistad for rent would do a lot for getting volunteers to KDLF,... me thinks.

Good thing there's no composites or other respiratory toxins in that -E wreckage. Breathe deeply, boys,... it's probably no big deal.

Too bad they decided to put the white "retro" paint job on a -C model and it's ugly-ass intakes, GPS blister, and VHF penis. ... not that I'd vote to paint any of OUR 13 -A models and their black paint jobs.

If you're located in SLO, that means you probably have been a flight attendant on Sky West/United Express (e.g. "stewardess",... nothing wrong with that term, since I'm over 40. Actually,... nothing wrong with that term, period). So... you were probably flying on the EMB-120, or even the 1900 when they had those. If so, you were probably flying with a mixed bag of experience. Chances are, if you knew the experience of some of the pilots, you'd have been a bit put off or surprised. Not that they were not capable. But they were not 3000 hour pilots either. Don't know what your "scary experiences were, but this website is primarily made up of military pilots. You probably won't find many military pilots at Sky West. The backgrounds are dramatically different, and probably won't do much for you research.

Maybe Lockheed buys their generators from the same folks that supply the generators for the N-G Global Hawk. Snap!!

When you go to the FSDO to get a new certificate/rating based on your military credentials, I recommend you bring the following: Form 8 Form 942 Flying History Report (the one that shows all the aircraft you've flown, and the times) Your current 1042 - if you have a current FAA Medical, bring that, as many FSDO's do not realize that that 1042 can suffice for a Class III Medical, as per the changes last year. Filled out 8710 (see link above). Any other FAA certificates you have. Your USAF Aeronautical Orders: your SARM should be able to give you a copy. Also, remember to ask to have them put "English Proficient" on the back of your new certificate. And, remember... the FAA will not take walk ins. You must make an appt.

My vote: give them both the boot. Ran away when discovered? No warrior ethos in sight.

It is DAMN funny!

Let's see... He's the Wing Commander. He runs the base. He can be more restrictive than the AFI. He doesn't want mustaches until the inspection is over. Yep, sounds like he is well within his rights to do this.

For mailing via US Postal Service from the US, how long is it taking to get to Balad? Any different for anything larger than a letter?

The cost of all the worthless deployment gear that I get issued,... plus the fact that our contract "supply" store, IBExpress, is charging a ripoff amount on said gear,... is certainly more significant than these military bands. Get rid of the Marine Corps' President's Own, and the White House will hire someone else. No cost savings.

I understand the Eagle Card is in use at Balad, Kandahar, and Bagram. That said, can you still use cash (US dollars) everywhere on these bases? Pros/cons for card vs cash?

Good,... except the 4-ship at the end was entirely too fast,... well over 350 KIAS. They should be hunted down and strung up. Maybe we can get Whitney out of rehab long enough to do the 2012 Super Bowl. Whoever chose Aguilera needs to go to a new career... may I suggest 1-800-TRUCKMASTERS. BTW, Christina,... maybe you should spend more time practicing the lyrics, and less time snacking on jelly donuts. You've changed a bit, girlfriend.

Murph, I didn't know you were flying the Yak. Very nice! I don't know my Yak's too well. I'd guess it's a -9, but the canopy doesn't look right... too big.

I doubt it... https://books.google.com/books?id=vPpuJ8mAXGgC&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=drew+carey+tailhook&source=bl&ots=J3V9koOyDc&sig=4fTiTEpdz-dPYpraJVZCBRE0Wx8&hl=en&ei=X5tFTYD-GoH68AbJif20AQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CDkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q&f=false ... but who knows. Maybe he just likes to plagerize.

Flyinrock: thanks for the update. Probably can't make it, but tell YoYo Huggy says hi and congrats. Jughead: 2xT-38's arrive Wednesday around 1400, callsign Roper 41. If there is a place where anyone interested in applying can come out to discuss, would you set it up? Club, on base pub, OG briefing room/theatre, etc... I have a laptop with powerpoint and some good videos with sound, so that would enhance things if there is A/V. Bonus if we can order food & drink too. Your drinks are on me. Let's shoot for Wed evening around 1700. I'll pm you my cell phone number. I'll delete some stuff since my mailbox is full. If you cannot coord it, don't sweat it... I'll figure something out.

Almost never. Usually ever 2-4 years for the Offutt Airshow.

We will have a U-2 at Offutt on Thursday & Friday. If anyone is considering applying to the U-2, there will probably be a Q&A session on Wednesday late afternoon,... maybe at the club. I'm assuming the club is open on Wednesdays? I'll post more here tomorrow, depending how things shake out.

Yes. Supposedly, there was concern that if a warbird flown by a pilot that was "old" were to run into an F-22, or cause some sort of incident, they couldn't answer the mail. All hearsay, but I believe it. Anyways, a few great pilots (like Chuck Hall) were not invited back.

Turn off the water to your washing machine. Reduce water heater temp.

Of course we are... they are an emerging muslim nation. Duh! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_France

Civilian fields is what I'm looking for. North Island only has 1 start cart, despite what IFR supp says.

You must not be from The Holy Land (aka The Great State of Texas), son: anyone that finds it odd to be wearing cowboy hats should move back north. Gig 'em,... whatever that means.
