Butters

Yes, been there, known lot's of people there. It is out in the middle of nowhere. It does not suck as much as it used to and the Seoul METRO goes all the way to Uijongbu now so it is easier and faster to get to Seoul now.

Is that 800 year old dude still teaching Metals?

1996 Mustang Cobra Convertible. My Lt Mobile, still have it. It is parked next my wife's 65 Mustang Fastback. Had to use stock footage from the internet, All my car pics are back in Seattle. I will change them out eventually.

Looks like the anti-piracy task force is getting better. Oops! Pirates Captured After Threatening Wrong Ship

The 80 kts technique is an old one that seems to have survived somewhat. At 80kts when throttles go into clamp mode and that seemed like a good time to match a Go-Oriented decision point since we call "80kts". Honestly, the C-17 like the C-130 is very stop oriented. Even if we had several blow tires, some hesitation, and a Great Dane or two in the back, we would not have any trouble stopping on 90% of the runways we operate on. It is still good to talk about though, since certain emergencies can affect your stopping power and can cause you more trouble trying to stop rather than go. I like the FAA and Boeings recommendation of 100 kts, but still we have plenty of excess stopping power. One thing that needs to stop in the C-17 community is the negative press blow fuse plugs get. If you have a high speed abort and blow your fuse plugs, that is a good thing. That means they worked. Seems every time I hear someone blew a few tires, everyone thinks they screwed up. Well, sometimes they did... riding the brakes, landing without checking your brake temps after a recent takeoff, ect. However, I am afraid someone is going to go light on the brakes because they are afraid of blowing fuse plugs and end up in the dirt.

I that Jill? 4th from the left?

I heard the reason for all the secrecy was Obama was fling one of the F-16s. Incentive ride or something!

Ha, how that have possibly gone wrong?

Wrong, it is Obama's fault..

Yes, you need to know what's happening before you do something that may make the situation worse. All aircraft are different, but remember... Some people have flow different airframes and in a emergency you can revert to another aircraft in an emergency. This can have fatal consequences in a time critical emergency. Remember the Lear 60 with the Blink 182 drummer? High speed aboard that went wrong and people dies. That aircraft could have become airborne with no problems, but stopping with a blown tire at high speeds is not easy. The discussion on Go-Around vs. aborting are not really the same thing. They are more geared towards aborts after go speed. Yes, it is better to hit the fence at slow speed vs. high speed, but a go around should happen fast if you screw up and land long. Problems arise when decisions are excessively delayed or made to quickly without regards for the outcome. That is why you should pre-brief decision points. You don't Q-3 someone to be a dick, you pass out Q-3s to show someone needs extra training. In this case she needs extra training in multiple areas.

Hell, we should merge this thread and the CoC one into the Abolish the USAF thread. Seems we do a lot of stupid shit when a dumbasses Marine is saying we are not at war. This almost make him seem right.

Well, then he should know better than to have a "Hey, look at me, I'm special" CoC in the middle of a war when his people and planes have better things to be doing.

Damn spell check! Edited

These attention whores having CoC ceremonies with fucking static displays need to read this book. Ceremonies like this to not belong in a deployed environment. A simple ceremony is a large room would have been just fine.

Well, I hate to be the one to quote regs, but..... From 11-2C-17V3: I just took an old headset apart and connected it to a headphone jack using trial and error. You will not blow the system, unless you are using an amp that goes to 11.

Thank you! I have been waiting over a year to get that answered!

They don't? On a side note, seems our hired help is not worth a damn anyway! Well, in Iraq at least. Security Problems Uncovered at U.S. Bases in Iraq

I like Boobies! Sorry, I just wanted to say boobies in a thread. BOOBIES!

Straight from 36-2903 I see a lot (all) of you out there in clear violation of this instruction. Remember:

So, WTF happened? Did he going higher? Did he just have a noisy cerimony?
