Confirmed based on my observation: 69%+ of leftists who were miserable before the election are still miserable after, filling social media with profanity filled rants about their daily woes. Self-Victimization is a tough habit to break. And Hillary’s still not president. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The same people who were miserable behind their keyboards for 4 years with TDS - Trump derangement Syndrome will soon be the same miserable victims with BDS - Biden Disappointment Syndrome. If the GOP keeps the senate, the dem infighting will be fun to watch. Very few campaign promises met, sets up the right for gains in 2024. The beta males and 2/10 feminists who were calling us all (on the right) racists and sexists will be miserable....still. And now we don’t have to hear about BLM or other statistically retarded causes for a while. The blue wave never happened. Not a bad election. Cheer up, it could be Hillary’s second term.

Damn Huggy, did you follow the concrete arrows along your XC route? My grandad told me about them. All kidding aside, I’ve been on f-ed up flyovers. Even porked one myself (I’ll blame the anthem singer). But I’ll stand by my argument that nailing a TOT has very little training value for fighters in 2020.

Yeah, it’s pretty damn rough with INS/GPS to hit an uncontested TOT these days. I say we dedicate missions to it..maybe a phase. Reminds me of the time in the ‘stan, there I was, EGI failure...no sh-t...checking my g-shock watch hoping I had the skills to make that TOT to the tanker +\- 10 min with quartering headwinds so strong, I had to wind correct.

Agreed. There is nothing wrong with discussion of known facts and plausible scenarios. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

I’m all for diversity in the ranks but I doubt we are suddenly going to find a ton of missed high-end recruits in the inner city. I’ve said before, I could find better recruits by stopping the BS academic and chess club qualifiers that get kids into UPT. I’ll take medium-intelligence type A recruits any day over the super-high-intelligence weenies I see filling the cockpits. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Leftists: “we want equality to end racism”, also leftists: “treating people equal is racist!” Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

That is a c model, navy does weird stuff, not sure why you’d put gear down. The jet goes into a different flight control mode when you aerial refuel anyhow with gear up. I’ve refueled from a c-130 before with Eurofighters and Tornadoes all stacked up. It’s no big deal except when 2x wing pods are out, you feel really close to the other jet refueling right next to you. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Generally you speed hold in the instrument pattern then simply press a button on the throttle to hold your AOA at the FAF as you set your flight path marker where you want to touch down. No flare or power modulation required, the throttle rolls back at touchdown. A lot about the jet is rediculously easy and automation can greatly help but over reliance is an issue and sometimes you think something is on/off when it isn’t, get sidetracked such as 6-9 steps to get your ILS symbology and it bites you. The ILS is horrible. I mean worst I’ve ever seen in aviation horrible to include GA. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The helmet is 2006 (not joking) spec’d technology that is still having issues in 2020. I did a masters paper on it in 2009 and the problems where I visited the factory and talked with engineers. They should have gone with a HUD/Scorpion combo a decade ago. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

A lot has changed since 2016. The left went all out assault and declared war with little regard to anything. I’m 100% for the right to counter-attack. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Damn I love the BFM arguing. I find it’s completely contingent on what you grew up doing and how much importance was placed on it. Viper pilots seem to place the most emphasis on it. I always retort: Why do fat girls give good head? Because they have to. Why do vipers practice so much BFM? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Brawnie sounds a lot like a guy I knew...liberal SJW who railed on racist filled America even though as a growing up middle class minority, he was provided a free academy education, paid to fly jets, promoted to top ranks and even after all that, was a victim of white Americans and selfish conservatives. Victimhood mentality sucks. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Imagine if you will, a place where the Air Force could groom top quality pilot candidates, educate them on flight maybe in their late teens/early 20’s....get America’s best by offering a free 4 yr education. We could call it, maybe an “Academy” or something. Seriously, I’ve railed on this before. Why isn’t our academy and flight screening getting us people who can kick ass? I’ve had academy grads (and ROTC) teaching at UPT I’d gladly trade for the high school educated quarterback at my B-8 football school because that guy working at the local grain elevator had more leadership and pilot potential than the band-geek-chess-club Academy grad. Part of the problem is we aren’t getting America’s best through our commissioning sources. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Any chance for an example of the admin? Range/munitions delivery or just safety of flight to/from the ranges? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

No notable difference between the students who flew ~100 hrs in T-38’s normal UPT track and the guy who only flew T-6’s a few hours and his second solo was in a fighter. Regardless of track, they are all equally bad but will be fine with some experience. UPT next guys are NOT the weakest students going to CAF squadrons.

Not mad at all. Questioning your honest attempt at discourse, as all I got was reworded paragraphs. But no matter. I’m happy to engage in real discourse. I haven’t found a leftist yet I can’t pummel in a logical argument until they call me a racist or Nazi simply because I disagree. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
