  2. Top pic: ...don't want to know what that far back seat, behind-the-goats-dude is smelling his finger for... Bottom pic: rockin' the flight approved sandals - nice.
  3. As I recall that was his first FTU sortie power-up, yes? Not even taxied yet!
  4. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/congress-wont-let-air-force-retire-t1s-might-accept-new-t-7s-built-without-contract/ .."defense bill won’t let the Air Force retire its T-1A Jayhawk trainers until the service’s new pilot training system is up and running and the Secretary of the Air Force certifies that retiring the jet won’t slow the pace." Let's see how this ages...
  5. Ever any boats or other watercraft silhouetted? And guess our Navy marks their boat's with Battle Stars (or Es) instead of silhouettes.
  6. We do, when there is a 🎈 balloon...
  7. Anything to cancel student debt....
  8. UBS has a NYC Americas HQ, big HQ not USA, and... Switzerland says UBS may need more cash. The bank is fuming A year after the failure of Credit Suisse, the Swiss government says UBS may have to find as much as $27 billion to absorb potential losses and protect taxpayers from ever having to bail out a major bank, reports my colleague Hanna Ziady. Now, the giant Swiss lender is hitting back, saying its finances are robust and warning that the proposal could harm Switzerland’s standing as a global financial center.
  9. https://www.navair.navy.mil/product/T-54A Perhaps, but it WILL fly in the valley-of-the-downs! Ah the good ole' days of doing an NDB approach sucking O2 mask with an engine simulated out. And uphill both ways.
  10. Wonder when the E8/9s realize WOs displace their billets by DOMPMA...
  11. The right one, just in case, just to ask, 'so are you feeling lucky...punk?'
  12. Did you 'dibs' Biff just now!?
  13. Related to Ron J.? ...Yikes
  14. Yeah. About that. Pretty sure I'd take a coalitions' financial and operationally-ready weapons support to the tune of $278B as of Jan 24'....especially American and German tech, they seem historically kick-ass and dominant in lethality and effectiveness. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/these-countries-have-committed-the-most-aid-to-ukraine#:~:text=The majority of committed support,billion in aid to Ukraine.

  16. Thick read at 1,000+ pages. I like the 1 paragraph benefits version instead. Choices, choices.
  17. Scroll early and often
  18. Meh, Big Sky/Space theory...what could go wrong!? (/s) Also, do TBMs or ICBMs have ADS-B out? Or just in? Or not supposed to at all but it got included because that military didn't pay to remove that feature? (/s)
  19. TRANSFER OF TRAFFIC BETWEEN TEHRAN FIR AND BAGHDAD FIR (ORBB) TEMPORARY SUSPENDED THEREFOR ALL AIR OPERATOR ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLAN AND CONDUCT ARRIVAING TRAFFIC FROM BAGHDAD FIR TO TEHRAN FIR AND DEPARTING TRAFFIC FROM TEHRAN FIR TO BAGHDAD FIR https://www.notams.faa.gov/dinsQueryWeb/queryRetrievalMapAction.do?reportType=Raw&retrieveLocId=oiix&actionType=notamRetrievalbyICAOs
  20. Perhaps because AGI needs an input, rather than already having a purpose. A purpose which is its reason or input-into-life's-abacus. Also, any self-fulfilling purpose of an AGI is just scary because of its potential, speed, and limited understanding/control...which is what makes Terminator series so entertaining. Begs the question: does a street-smart AI = AGI? Or book smart?
  21. Peddle force augmented and some other nitnoid stuff
  22. The 'Juice' has been squeezed.
  23. Intentional like this you say...
  24. The airfield or aircrew seemingly rated it a '5', seeing how the 5-board is upright, nearby
