Judging by some of the radio calls in the AOR, I would say yes.

Wow, I remember him from the Vance days. Awesome dude, great instructor and always had a way to put it all in perspective.

Wow. What is this "boring flying" you speak of?

Does that mean we can put noseart back on the jets?

He flipped the F out at OTBH over mustaches....and hats. That was a sweet read file.

MARS is 10x better than the Global HF system. You can call and call on the Global system and not get a response. One transmission on the MARS calling freq, and you'll get a response right away I don't even bother with Global while CONUS. 13.927 MARS and the 11 MHz freq listed for Trenton Military in the FIH should be in everyone's kneeboard. The MARS website above does say the phone minutes are donated by Sprint.

LOL, isn't that the exact same thing that is painted on the tail of your jets? The more I think about, that LOC was probably for having a crappy football team and a bipolar basketball team. KAAAAAMS!

"I'll believe that when me s--t turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet"

He was making people tuck in their flight suit zippers at the Deid. That was a fun 7 months...

Looks like a normal day in Sconnie-nation.

This site has a ton of great 1950s and 1960s pictures from the golden age of the USAF. https://jetpilotoverseas.wordpress.com/ Be sure to scroll to the bottom and browse the categories.

From the comments section: "Well, he missed the trap!"

Nah, they are too busy working on their Masters.

Same same. Do I need to see the flight doc?

Are you his exec or something? Give it a rest dude.

I thought I was the only one who thought this way. If folks are not being allowed to read the SIB reports, please ask your safety office what the point of a SIB is in the first place. Hint: To Prevent Future Mishaps. I really don't "get" the flight safety culture in the AF. It seems like incidents, big and small, get swept under the rug and are not to be talked about. I didn't realize the amount of 'minor' stuff that was happening on a monthly basis until I started digging around in AFSAS. There is a lot to be learned from reading AND teaching what is in these reports. It can be as simple as telling your crews that incident X happened last week, be sure to check that the pitot covers are removed or whatever. You don't have to go into detail. Another great tool is the ASAP program. https://www.safety-masap.com/ Crews should not only be participating in these reports, but reading as well.

People ship vehicles across the country all the time. A few ways to do this. Compare costs and if you don't mind taking leave, drive and fly back, drive. Or go on U-Ship and get some quotes. They have reviews on there so at least you know what you are getting into. Make sure whoever you go with is insured and federally licensed. You can find a lot of companies out there who have a truck with a trailer that can haul 2 or 3 cars, so that can save on costs since they are going to one location. You can go to this site https://www.transportreviews.com/directory/reports/pasttwoyears.asp and check out reviews for different companies and get quotes from the ones you want.

Saw the same thing earlier in the year, along with the high-chairs at the chow hall, 150 school kids on the ramp as I was trying to taxi out for a "combat" mission, etc. That was also the same day the sky cop dog was barking at the balloons flying from the stage at the BRA.

Was at Vance when that tornado went through North Enid a few years ago. We were pretty worried that the Wee Too restaurant didn't make it. Turns out the storm just blew the roof off the convention center and knocked over a few combines instead.

NOVA put out a video a number of years ago about the COPA 201 flight in Panama. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copa_Airlines_Flight_201 Even though the Panamanians ran the investigation, the video shows a lot of involvement with the NTSB and Boeing.

The FAA released a Safety Alert a few months ago encouraging manual flying. https://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/airline_operators/airline_safety/safo/all_safos/media/2013/SAFO13002.pdf

I'm offended that copilots are working on their masters at work and not studying the T.O.s.
