Again, it sounds like you guys could solve this mystery annually at Gunfighter Flag! Post results here.

Sounds like some flying competitions will be in order. Same jets, one has a WSO in it.

Heinous. Be sure to cite the root causes in the AIBs.

Machines do difficult things easily and make easy things difficult.

Just what the MAF needs, worse hands. No way this is real.

Just imagine if the drone was rocket-powered instead of air breathing! Like Mach 4 speed. And I bet we could make it pull 30g. And of course, there’s no human in there so we could give it a one-way mission. So we’d better make them cheap - like less than $1m each - and light so one fighter could control 8 or even as many as 20 of them. They can even have little radars or IR sensors in their noses, but they wouldn’t need them until close in because the controlling fighter (the mothership!) is guiding them most of the way to their target.

Where was the AI getting the human PPLI from? The human was using his eyeballs, I suspect the AI had perfect data.

There’s a disorder called Face Blindness that keeps people from recognizing different faces. These people (maybe including brickhistory) simply have Flanker Blindness and don’t understand why the rest of us would care. edit: someone please post the Facebook link

My opinion: morale and operational efficiency are degraded when functions that must work together are in different commands. U-2s at overseas locations are mostly organized as every function under one umbrella: ops, mx, intel, life support, supply, logistics, personnel, comm, and even security forces in some cases. There are always some bumps in the road, but everyone knows who they work for: their U-2 pilot commander that suits up and blasts off on a mission right in front of them. How I know that cross-functional team model is effective: the exact same people RTB home and start working for different commanders that report to group commanders who report to a wing commander, and everything slows down.

Also at M9 qual.

How about the “Ukrainian” (aka Russian) honeypots? It wouldn’t be Xanadu without the overt espionage threat and all the bros talking around things

That’s the Bacchus D

Wait until the Space Force realizes we have all the Spice here on the Earth

You may have heard other students and IPs saying, “If you ain’t first, you’re last,” but that’s just not true. You can be second, third, fourth...hell you can even be fifth.

@FLEA if you hate the flight suit so much, just wear the 2-piece. The rest of us don’t have the same problems you’re experiencing.

We want lighter weight suits and helmets, but those Space X ones look like shit to me. Plus, there’s no parachute harness, LPUs, helmet tie-down, survival stuff, or helmets that turn. I also want to see one rapid-D in the chamber to 70k’.

There are also the ejection seat min/max weight limits, which can’t really be fixed with adjustable pedals.

Amazing. Seven of those guys never even made it to general or astronaut.

Lol

Complex solutions are the hallmark of a poor problem solver. There are plenty of skills to learn in any trainer that would translate directly to tactical employment in a follow on aircraft.

They were built in 3 batches; all of the ones built in the 50s are in museums or were crashed/shot down. Of a batch built in the 70s (the much larger R models), 4 remain which have been updated as S models. The newest batch was built between 81-89, which brings the currently operating total to around 30. NASA has 2 more of those. Edit: in looking through it further, I thought it was interesting that some didn’t make it into active service until after the Soviet Union dissolved.

WHY IS THERE NO CORN

Don’t act like those documents, or any others, are perfect stone tablets handed down from God. It takes continuous improvement from all players to make us all better.

Yeah, tankers ain’t fighters ain’t bombers ain’t airlift ain’t U-2s. Vectors to an ILS is an example that makes sense for jets that sometimes need to land in an unsanitized area. His point is that every community can mail it in and get lazy in their own way.

There’s not enough evidence to draw solid conclusions here, especially as low-SA non-players, because no investigation into Crozier’s actions happened before he was fired. Which is pretty much the reason for the whole argument. It was a knee-jerk emotional firing by the SecNav. There'll probably be an investigation now...
