Normalization of deviance was mentioned...

Beyond lucky

If anyone grabbed internal landing footage it will be great. Wear your seatbelts kids

Birthday cake shakes baby!!!

When was the last time post Desert Storm where we weren't deployed consistently and randomly conducting combat ops from those locations? Has there been a time?

If you don't want to crane your neck to watch

You a cop?

And American would only sign the deal if it didn't require additional training.

There is a very different viewpoint difference between 200' in the city versus fixed wing in the pattern over the city though.

No

We have the benefit of knowing they collided with an airliner so it kind of taints the discussion. Talking to a bunch of the 1st heli alumni they said 50' over the river was pretty common. Crazy procedural setup.

Not many un-charted obstacles in that area I'm guessing. Whats the greater threat? In my experience, one off one on is probably a better option. I don't have any personal experience in that airspace so I'm spitballing.

Agreed. If they were both using NVGs in that area....asinine

9.4.3.7. Neckwear. The wear of scarves will be addressed by MAJCOM supplements. When authorized, scarves will be worn around the neck and tucked in. Only MAJCOM with halfway current version says: 9.4.3.7.1. (Added-AMC) Neckwear. Installation commanders may authorize wear of distinctive scarves by individual units. All scarves must be in good taste and standardized throughout the installation. Scarves will not be worn in the aircraft or in situations where wear is impractical or inappropriate

Need a class 2 for potential job. AME initially said I was good to go but then FAA said I'll need waiver (SI) for my eye issue. Had waiver for it in the AF for last 8 years flying. Documentation showing its stable not progressing and not requiring any treatment or meds. I've seen anywhere from a couple weeks to many months. Anyone have experience with the process lately? Currently waiting on a LETTER from FAA to start the process. Also, the new color vision test is a bitch.

Thing was cooking. Got very lucky with it hitting the water where it did. Have been in that area many times and it's very crowded.

Flew their dicks off

I would imagine something is cooking. Can't go off half cocked. Not Trumps style....

One of my better purchases pre 737 debacle. Down 51.7% to be exact 🙂

I'm just impressed you haven't slipped up over the years. Impressive.

I'm not sure why anyone responds
