interesting quote from that article “He stated that on sharp final another airplane either crossed his path or entered through the taxiway on the runway,” said Cerecke. “Made him make some maneuver to prevent collision with the other airplane and ended up putting the plane into a stall.”

"sorry that article is no longer available" ETA: is the the article you were trying to link? https://www.live5news.com/story/29578829/ntsb-releases-preliminary-report-on-collision-of-cessna-and-f-16 ETA 2: well, that article is certainly an interesting read, to say the least. The ATC transcript especially.

sorry about the post spam! They were throwing a database error every time I tried to post, and then a quick refresh didn't show I'd posted anything, so I tried a couple other forums. Didn't see them posted until several hours later and there wasn't anything I could do about it at that point due to the continued database error. Feel free to delete. BTW, do you check the BODN FB page? Never get the warm fuzzy submitting feedback on the parent page to notify you of the issue. I assumed you got that tho.

When you're going 300 KIAS 15-20 nm vectors is probably the norm.... For me, short vectors FTW and if it's much outside of 8 nm, I'm pinging ATC because they just added 5 minutes of flight time to my flight.

The F-35 thread is the only one I can open without getting a database error. I've tried several threads here and in the other forums with no luck. Also tried logging out and logging back in, again with no luck. Except this thread. Are others having problems? I just tried to post a reply in the F-35 thread with no luck, so trying to create a new thread and see what happens.

rog. EvilEagle is on the AOPA forums and the convo seems to be pretty civil here: https://forums.aopa.org/showthread.php?t=95873 ETA: that AOPA members page on FB says this: "Aviation enthusiasts from all over the world, whether or not they are AOPA members.*** Please Note *** This group is neither affiliated with nor managed by AOPA." and it's a closed group, of which I'm not a part.

please provide link - I just looked on their page and didn't see anything, so maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

The TFR is centered right on a Victor airway, as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They've been there 4 years and have only received their jets in the last 6 months. Article I read said two of them had just finished FLUG and were 18-24 months away from IPUG.

The CSL got my days pushed to the 30th. Because ADLS will definitely come back up on time, right? Yes, I knew of ADLS down week getting pushed right. Not sure why the CS didn't have any idea ADLS was down, tho.

there is at least one inaccuracy on that list.

well it ended up being moot, b/c on Tues morning they put me in the penalty box (kiosked) for the overdue IA, thus not following their own guidance. "oh, ADLS is down? Hmm, I didn't know that..." Took an entire 3 days (until this afternoon) for an override to go through so I wouldn't be locked out, and I expect to be locked out again tomorrow afternoon since the override is apparently only good for 24 hrs. The best part is the popup I've been getting for the last three days "Your IA is overdue, would you like to complete it now?" becomes 4 popups when you click it (it's like being rickrolled), and the phone number listed is for the Enterprise helpdesk that no longer exists (DSN 510 something). ETA: now that I can go somewhere other than the portal/ADLS, I could knock out the training on the DISA website, but that wouldn't update ADLS, and ADLS can't be manually updated because it's down... #catch22

this is hilarious. ...but Mommmmmmmmm, it's not fairrrrrrrr!

have your CC call their CC, to ensure support on Fri for you. You should not have to jump through hoops on your PCS because of poor planning on their part. Seriously.

so at work today, I could access gmail on the interwebs, but every other non-mil/gov site I tried to visit gave me the big FU. Displayed error message was that my profile or workstation had been restricted to viewing only .mil/.gov websites. WTFU? If it matters, my IA just expired but since ADLS is down, can't rehack that. I know that the CS was given guidance not to disable accounts for that reason while ADLS is down, so seems an odd coincidence. Thoughts?

HerkStud, have you tried working with TOML, ARA, etc to appeal to a broader audience who might be interested in an HC watch?

crisis averted! Hope she was good...

no workie

if you do get tapped for a SEF deployment, they have in the past attempted to put you at a location with your qual'd aircraft so you can continue to fly. If you are an 11HXX (RW only), you're excluded from consideration for safety deployments since the career field is critically manned and ops tempo is so high. Your MAJCOM manages the safety deployment buckets and tasks wings as appropriate to fill the requirements. I spent 1 yr as the SQ FSO, 1 yr as WG FSO, 1 yr at new duty station as SQ ADFSO (I was Chief of Training at the time), and 1.5 years as the WG Chief of Flight Safety. I dig safety. I have done 2 Class A SIBs (one as the Pilot Member, one as Investigating officer) and 2 Class B investigations as SIO. And of course too many to count Class C, D, and E investigations at my wings. If AFSEC was hiring right now on the GS side, I would be there in a heartbeat. Safety's not for everyone, and I'd ask you not to half-ass it if you do get the stink on you. It's something I care deeply about - I've lost several friends and family members over the years, and almost lost several others.

what does renew with checkride mean? I can send in a copy of my most recent Form 8 that's less than 12 months old as proof and reset my CFI clock?

it's also great when the A-10 is trying to tell you where a TIC is and they don't have the time to get coords and pass those over the radio... or to pass a ARCP to the tanker during a TEXACO.
