  1. Damn, sorry to hear this 🍺
  2. The F-16 SPM was moved over to Sentinel last week after this firing: https://aviationweek.com/defense-space/missile-defense-weapons/usaf-removes-sentinel-program-leader-amid-review
  3. Will you be by the jet tomorrow (Sun) am? I wasn't planning to go this year but might just to say howdy to you.
  4. I've got 0.4 dual in a Ford Tri-Motor. Thanks EAA! Nice left leg workout with the p-factor 😂 IMG_6026.mov
  5. Considering Supt is a retirement job, he won't be CSAF.
  6. Here's mine from Mother Rucker. Back then Hueys we flew had orange doors. On Fridays we'd wear our patch halfway back on the sleeve because doors were open! Will post some more tomorrow.
  7. I visited Pop's last summer and it was a shadow of its former self (I'm told, as it was my first visit, but the others in the group had been before.)
  8. Hey, Penguin is still here. @brabus What's going on with F-16 JMPS WRT FPM, TOLD, and validating SCLs has been eye-opening (learning just how bad/wrong/out of date certain data sources were). Trying to help be part of the solution! Also, the Flight Performance Modelers work at the other end of my building, they build the FPMs for JMPS and the newish TOLD app that is coming out for most airframes. They were glad to have me to come bug about helo TOLD and interpreting H-60 E-M charts, lol.
  9. The "why" was pretty apparent from the article. Re-read the second paragraph. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-jets-intercept-4-russian-warplanes-near-alaska-norad/

    Yay someone besides Max won! Things are looking on the up and up for Ferrari. Where does everyone think Sainz will land next year?
  11. Anyone have a good copy of the subtitled Downfall video about AETC students and fix-to-fixes? My google-foo is failing me.
  12. Google adjusts the foliage depending on the time of year. You'll probably get a better view in Dec.
  13. Well this comment aged well...

    Over/under of Ferrari firing their strategists during the break? Seems Merc has finally got their shit together. And glad they let things happen organically at the end vs imposing team orders.
  16. Hey all, LM is looking to hire a weapons integrator at the F-16 SPO at Hill. Fighter types (pilots and WSOs) and B-52 patches would be a perfect fit. AFAIK, this job will mostly be on-site (not telework/remote), there will be travel involved, and LM Aero is a great company to work for! Let me know if you have any questions. https://www.lockheedmartinjobs.com/job/hill-air-force-base/senior-aircraft-systems-engineer-weapons-integration-level-4/694/26713588176
  17. Just got error on Firefox of certificate expired to the main baseops.net site.

    Does anyone thing that if Merc doesn't get their shit figured out soon Lewis is going to bail after the season? I'm rooting for anyone except Max. Horner is still an ass. Happy Haas has scored some points this season, and sad that Williams hasn't seemed to improve much this year over the last several. Do we think they'll bring Latifi back next year?
  19. It's happened on the helo side, at least once. The move was to be closer to his kid.
  20. Huggy you coming to Hill in 22?
  21. I practically did, going the Navy->Army route...
  22. I was once sitting the ops desk and got a phone call from our tanker flying to Japan from Moody, dude called me from the cockpit on an iridium Sat phone! Lol. He wanted to get the HAR brief out of the way because they were running late. Probably would've been much cheaper and easier to do a phone patch! 2009 timeframe.

    This article is great. Especially the quote from Masi in 2020 about how unlapping and ending a safety car period is supposed to happen. BL - the inconsistency of adjudication across races this year, and even across seasons, has not been good. Masi needs to be shown the door.

    Foreshadow much? I heard Horner has offered Latifi a lifetime supply of Red Bull. Michael Masi needs to be fired.
