USAA Epic Collapse
I did not enjoy my time with Progressive. Raised my auto insurance rates significantly with no ticket/accident history at all.

There are still Golfs flying. So I know that isn't true.

GA Aircraft Flown
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.

Considering Supt is a retirement job, he won't be CSAF.

UPT Class Patches
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.

Leather Flight Jacket
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.)

Fighter TOLD/W&B
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What's going on with F-16 JMPS WRT FPM, TOLD, and validating SCLs has been eye-opening (learning just how bad/wrong/out of date certain data sources were).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.

Yay someone besides Max won! Things are looking on the up and up for Ferrari. Where does everyone think Sainz will land next year?

Fix-to-fix video
Anyone have a good copy of the subtitled Downfall video about AETC students and fix-to-fixes? My google-foo is failing me.

Google adjusts the foliage depending on the time of year. You'll probably get a better view in Dec.

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.

LM hiring a Weapons Integrator at Hill AFB
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

F1 Thread
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?

AD USAF to USN Reserves
It's happened on the helo side, at least once. The move was to be closer to his kid.
