  1. You know Goose died right?
  2. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/04/22/rep-king-wants-to-know-whether-per-diem-used-to-pay-colombia-prostitutes/ **Gasp** You mean to tell me that these government employees used money entitled to them to pay these strumpets?!
  3. Bronx, I lived in Valdosta for 5 years, (went to VSU and was stationed at Moody) PM me if you have specific questions about the area.

  5. Whoa...easy killer. I keed, I keed... But seriously.
  6. Sweet callsign brah!
  7. That was the DOD's budget. Regardless, that wasn't my point. The point was that the move was common sense related. Well since you asked so nicely... Negative SATCOM + Limited GPS = C-130H...sorry man, I don't need it. My buddy from college in Space constantly says to me "Fucking pilots, you guys don't have worry about anything but flying!" I reply back, asking when he has his next "checkride" in the MUOS-1. Obviously we both know that we have additional duties and other shit to deal with outside our primary duties, but as Rainman said, if you aren't catching shit from someone, it probably means they don't like you.
  8. $400 bought a lot of Beast Light when I was a 2LT... For some perspective, $700,000 is approximately 0.0001069 percent of the budget. (and no, I didn't make that number up) Sounds to me like this is more common sense related than budget related.
  9. **COUGH** MC-12 **COUGH**
  10. False Under AFI 11-401 table 1.1, cadets are eligible for "Orientation Familiarization Flights". "Incentive Orientation Flights" are open to "USAF active-duty and ARC military members" Looking up a reg I don't care about made me thirsty, time for a .
  11. Don't feed the troll...
  12. Unless you own a brewery...I wouldn't hold your breath trying to score one on your own.
  13. Big girls need love too
  14. On this board, a grammar nazi will get you every time... 1. Yes...but there is A LOT more queep than I was expecting. 2. Hell yeah.
  15. ZING! In the end, the Jetblue plane landed safely and the passengers eventually made it to their destination. Now if a computer goes ape-shit mid-flight...
  16. How many times can Jonah Hill loss 50 lbs, gain it back, and loss it again? I swear he must alternate it every movie.
  17. More details coming out
  18. "McPeak would be proud"
  19. Can't speak for the 44, but in the C-12, we had a great FMS and flew GPS approaches all the time. The autopilot was hit or miss, but I'd say it was on par with the herk as far a reliability goes.
  20. While on oxygen Hmmm, I doubt the tone gives the same feeling of asymmetric power as a 44/C-12 on one engine. Kind of like how the guys at corpus say "know the FAR/AIM and NATOPS" It all looks the same after FL180 The PMU on the T-6 makes it different. Hard to say it's the same as other props. I learned quite a bit about turboprops in Corpus. Instead of showing up to work with my friends, I showed up to the beach with them. 3 months is a bit of an exaggeration isn't it? I graduated within a month of my UPT class, which is about right, because we had to go to water survival. So the difference in time is minimal. Bottom line, Corpus provides training that is unique. Not saying that a herk pilot can't come from tones or 38s (38s were the only show in town back in the day). But after watching tone guys at the rock stare at analog instruments and learn about that foot pedal some of us refer to as a "rudder" for the first time, it's hard to say that corpus training isn't better suited for herk guys.
  21. I'll believe it when I see it. We just sent two guys there to be IPs. Unless they are on 2 year orders, I don't see it happening. They have been saying this for years.
