StoleIt

When the B-2 first came out wasn't it not allowed to fly into precip? I thought there was something about its RAM paint or something that didn't like water. I know lately its all weather but still when it was new I could have sworn hearing about it being VFR only or something...hmm off to Google I go...

Any clue when Osprey drops are gonna start happening? I have always had a little itch for Helo's because they are different...so I figure the Osprey must be the best of both worlds...

I'd be interested to see how they figure an F-22 and an Su-47 would go at it. Probably try BVR and nobody can lock eachother up and then just close in and go for guns?

Hahah! Awesome.

Had too.

I hope this doesn't come down to pilot error. This would probably be one of the most expensive "oopsies" ever if so.

Lets try to jump start this thread again:

Out of curiosity, any way to tell if it was a C model? And when the wheels are in the up position do they still rotate? It looks like the tail is the only part of the Hog that is touching the ground. I assume it would just require repairs to the GUA-8A and then a tail inspection or what not and they be back on flying status? That doesn't look like any where near enough damage to total the plane...

I'd venture to bet the VSTOL capability or what not the -35C has would be a bitch of an engineering problem to make with two engines. Just a thought.

Haha, or maybe the trunk monkey in an F-15E looks strikingly similar to a WSO...food for thought.

^ THAT IS CRAZY!!!

It's just as fair as stealth, laser guided munitions, and heat seeking a2a weapons...those are all as fair as UCAVs or UAVs or whatever they are called these days.

Altitude and distance for a 3* glide slope distance x 300 + airport elevation so if your 10 miles out on an ILS and the airport elevation is 500ft: 10nm x 300 + 500ft = 3500 MSL

^that one has to make you think...

Well I am up and heading to Brooks in a week. And my Det's Sgt still hasn't sent me any info on what I need to bring or what I can and can't do before leaving. Anyone have this website (?) handy? I have sent him multiple emails and gone in to remind him...nothing. When I try calling he is out of the office doing who knows what. Good news is I have my itinerary...but thats it. TIA

Wow...Frenchies gained another notch of respect in my book. Hope they all can keep their jobs too. Those flight attendants must liven up the flights a bunch.

Airspeed: Speed of an airplane. Deduct 25% when listening to a Navy pilot. "Eagles may fly, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." "I am a Pilut...I am a Pillot...I am a Pilyut...Damn...I fly airplanes!" As a pilot, only two bad things can happen to you: A. One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your last flight. B. One day you will walk out to the aircraft not knowing that it is your last flight. And found these after some light googling: As heard from ORD's (O'Hare's) tower: "You're gonna have to key the mike. I can't see you when you nod your head." "Put your compass on 'E' and get out of my airspace." "Climb like you're life depends on it ... because it does." "Request Runway 27 Right." "Unable." "Approach, do you know the wind at six thousand is 270 at fifty?" "Yeah, I do, and if we could jack the airport up to fifty-five hundred you could have that runway. Expect 14 Right."

Please tell me you aren't serious... if you are...

We just had a CCT Capt in for some Q/A Thursday. I asked him about his opinion on the CSAR-X and he said his vote was for the -47...I don't care what I've read about any platform I'll take his word that the -47 is the best for the job out of the 3.
