Any Viper drivers on here that can explain how it’s possible to shoot your own aircraft? https://www.foxnews.com/world/dutch-f-16-makes-emergency-landing-after-flying-into-its-own-gunfire-report

And just like that deliveries are halted...again. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/04/02/air-force-again-halts-kc-46-deliveries-after-more-debris-found/

Here’s a little tidbit about the bonus for tax season. If you take the lump sum upfront and also contribute to a Roth IRA throughout the year, the lump sum will bump your annual AGI above the threshold where you can contribute the full $5500/yr. If you don’t watch it carefully, you’ll contribute too much and will be subject to tax penalties.

Which is unfortunate and IMO part of what’s wrong with the MAF “community”. I’ve been in both and like aspects of each one, but naming and roll calls would bring some much needed camaraderie and morale to a MAF community that needs it badly.

Who needs a competent SECDEF like Mattis when you have a POTUS who says “I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me!” and ““[The generals] don’t know much because they’re not winning”? Sad day for the armed forces indeed

Probably drew a sky penis

53 ADOs in a group...Was Oprah your Gp/CC? “Everyone gets to be an ADO!”

KC-135. I thought this was more common. Apparently not.

Not sure about other communities, but KC-135 IP’s are certified sim operators after graduating instructor school. This doesn’t sound like such a crazy idea to me.

Can’t us tanker guys stick together and go back to the age-old practice of ripping C-17 drivers for landing gear up?

Negative ghost rider. Currently Google Maps is the only one that allows you to download offline maps AFAIK. Apple Maps is nowhere near as good as Google Maps, but it’s getting better...slowly

I prefer manually pinging G2 and the scheduling Lt to improve my schedule. Much more interactive that way.

Nice try, ISIS

Not ostracized, it’s just seen as a moot point in the tanker. We aren’t maneuverable, don’t have defensive systems, and for that reason are rarely placed inside any threat ring. Honestly, the most tactical thing tanker drivers can do is to do a thorough mission plan and brief, understand the threats, STFU, stop trying to sound like an airline pilot, and stick to the EMCON.

It looks like the folks overseas with an upcoming DEROS just got notified last week. They’re usually the first.

Questions on the GI Bill (Tuition Aid)
Runr6730 replied to USAF Pirate's topic in General Discussion
Same ADSC. Once you opt to transfer it you can redistribute it as you see fit. If you have kids down the line and they are added to MilPDS, you can redistribute months to them with no additional ADSC. -
That there’s a lot of tankers in one drop...

Haha...in my day we flew upwind both ways and barefoot in severe icing. How about the 300lb bluesuiters sitting next to you who knew that it took exactly 13 “clicks” of trim to level off?

They’re Wing and GO execs too...I know of at least 3. They also teach VTRAT, so there’s that...

T-Mobile has a great cell phone plan for military. They are offering the T-Mobile One unlimited plan at 20-50% off depending on how many phones you have: https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/military-phone-plans I’m paying $80 for unlimited everything on 2 phones which includes free Netflix (if you already have Netflix, they take over the payments), international roaming, hotspot, etc.

They sent only 3 AD to fighters out of T-38’s? So much for growing out of the pilot crisis.

So...still HAF then?

I admire your faith in big AF’s ability to take action when confronted with a retention problem
