quick update on Rucker drops, since no one there has been posting them recently - this is from a convo I had last week with a Rucker IP. Drops favor 60s over Hueys (last class had something like 5 60s and 3 Hueys) these days. Expect 5 ish FAIP drops in a year (which typically go to those who ask for them), and CV-22s will be starting to drop again at Rucker (unknown amount, but my guess would be near the same number of FAIP drops, give or take, from historical averages when they were dropping before).

works like a champ now! Thanks!

he was a history teacher at the Zoo when I was a dink...small world.

if you love any and all things flying, try helos!

still same behavior here. FF 40.0.3 on OS X 10.10.4

Reading the source data (the actual AIB), instead of a PA-butchered interpretation will probably clarify.

nerd. Only First Shirts shout that shit at all-calls.

thanks for the clarification!

your sig block is MIA

so does the beginning of thread arrow (just tried it on the Major Board Upgrade thread)

Then you agree it's silly for another country to send their helo pilots through a year of fixed wing first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ok, so then why don't they train their helo pilots like the USAF trains? AKA fixed wing then Rucker?

why did their countries send them through T-1s? Seems a little odd.

the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...

I thought at first it was because the thread title had the word "login" in it, but same behavior on other threads as well in the AFTO 781 subforum. I didn't want to try other subforums and accidentally spam the board like what happened last time ;)

that's what I was trying to do. When I hit the "Submit Reply" button is when I got the YOUR INTERNET USAGE IS BEING LOGGED message...

Was able to login at work, but was not able to post. Got the dreaded firewall page on several threads when I tried to post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

this thread should probably be down in the ALO board.

It's THEY'RE, and you're wrong. The 24 hr status msg/ one-liner will state nothing more than the facts. On XXX 2 F-16s collided on rwy, acft destroyed (or whatever the status of the aircraft is), 1 crew injured" (or whatever they can fit in the twitter-length one-liner character limit). The one-liner is not privilege information, so it shouldn't contain anything other than facts. The SIB or ISB will release the 24 hr status msg, which contains nothing more than a verbose version of the one-liner, and after that each status msg (10-day and 30-day) will be approved for release by the owning NAF (for a Class B) or the MAJCOM (for a Class A). In the near recent past, any Class A involving CAF assets has been investigated by ACC, regardless of AFRC or ANG status of the mishap unit(s).

DFRESH, a comm lockdown is common when a mishap occurs. Don't jump to any conclusions yet just because you can't reach them.

they collided on the runway during rollout. Oops.

I forgot to try today - having to be at work at 0530 on a Monday will do that to you.

can I suggest moving the new JQP forum "above the fold"? Folks might not realize it's there since we have to scroll down to see it.

I will go to great lengths to avoid US Airways. Otherwise not picky (whoever give me the best price/schedule combo wins)
