I've used them both and liked them both! Where in ABQ are you looking to buy? You'll get more bang for your buck out on the west mesa or Rio Rancho, but have a much shorter commute in the NE Heights. I lived on the west mesa, Paseo/Unser area.
Reminds me of the time I let my copilot fly the ILS in IMC into Gimhae, only for him to try to take a sucker hole when we still had clouds in front of us and were inside the final approach fix. I got his attention refocused on the instruments and we landed safely. Turns out that was his first ever ILS in IMC conditions, ever. He was a former Apache driver, and IMC/IFR is an emergency procedure for them.
This was after I had to declare an emergency to force the controller to let us land. Which is a whole nuther story best told over beers.
I got the letters (same deal, NBKC sold my mortgage to Freedom), and also found it odd that my auto payments didn't transfer. Was a bit of a pain to get it set up with Freedom and make sure it was working correctly within the 2 month grace period. Freedom seemed a bit shady, so I pinged @Jon - Trident Home Loans and got a refi done through Trident. Shaved 2 years and half a percent. Trident sold my loan to Caliber Mortgage about a week after closing on the refi (which was expected, clearly stated in the paperwork they won't be the loan servicer). So far so good...
I lived IVO Tanque Verde/Sabino Canyon, just north of the Tanque Verde wash and drive to work was 15-20 min depending on gate traffic. It was 20 minutes to pretty much everywhere in tucson. Loved the area! In general, I'd recommend living north of the river.
Lockheed Martin is hiring an F-16 Flight Manual Manager to the team at Hill AFB. If you or anyone you know might be interested, and you aren't going to the airlines, please consider applying! LM Aero is a great company to work for and the work environment and team at the F-16 SPO are top notch!
PM me if you have any questions. You don't need to have F-16 experience (though it would be great if you did!), but you do have to be aircrew.

the track surface at COTA looked atrocious on TV. Hopefully they started the resurfacing effort about an hour after the F1 race ended...
Hamilton's my boy, I think Ferrari are idiots with how the run their drivers and suck at strategy, I hope Albon does well at Red Bull, I feel sorry for Ricciardo and hope Renault make a good show next year, and WTF happened to Williams in the last few years? Oh, and I don't think Nico Rosberg is a great driver - he only won because of the superior Merc equipment and some unluckiness on Lewis' part.
I also think Haas made a mistake in keeping Grosjean in a seat. He needs to go.
can confirm. Had numbness in little and ring finger of left hand for about 6 weeks after dislocating my left elbow. I don't recommend dislocating your elbow.
@PilotWife2 how are refi rates looking on 15 yr VA loans? I'm currently 2.7 yrs into a 30 yr VA loan from you at 3.75%. Wondering if it makes more sense to refi on a 15 yr vs sell back the 2.7 yrs I'm already into the 30 yr.
I have KIO and RTB at least four times in my career due to environmental conditions, during training. So our ORM went high, and we decided it wasn't worth the squeeze. One time it was about 3 minutes after takeoff, with the SQ/DO sitting in the other seat. In combat, I've definitely upchanneled things due to High ORM to get approval to launch, or in one case, approval to continue after launching.
