Imagine just flying VFR reading a map to from point A to point B. That is LATN. As a new guy learning this skill, I was once given a dead cow in a wash as a turn point. Your map reading skills get very good.

After someone posted the Ace Ventura link, I keep getting the image of USAFpilot yelling at Rainman, "Laces out, laces out!"

If you are this guy, maybe too often:

Exactly. "It's not communicable unless you are in a confined area with a person exhibiting symptoms so don't worry. Uh, unless you were on that flight from Cleveland to Dallas, we really need to talk to you."

While not inflicting fatalities, I will agree her music has made more people sick that Ebola.

The study was done by an engineer, not a medical professional, so he is wrong.

I'm sure his Squadron buds will be looking for opportunities to meet her friends. Ought to be a packed wedding chapel.

No. We know where they've been, they know what to look for. The best treatment facilities in the U.S. are limited but here for a reason so, if a military member contracts ebola, they have to come back to the U.S. Great guidance from the Expert, Mr. Frieden. He has actually said both of the following sets of statements. "Amanda Vinson shouldn't have flown on an airplane. But passengers on that airplane are at no risk. You can't get Ebola on a bus. But people with Ebola shouldn't ride on one. Cutting off all flights to W. Africa is a bad idea. But we're now recommending that all non-essential travel there be cancelled. Any hospital can treat Ebola patients. But maybe special Ebola hospitals are a better idea. We know how to handle Ebola. We just can't seem to figure it out when it's for real. Our protocols will stop the disease. But maybe we need to take another look at our protocols.

The number of facilities in the US designed to handle Ebola is in the single digits, the total number of beds in all those facilities is south of 50. Haven't heard anybody say shut down airports, just entry into the country by persons that are from or have traveled to areas overwhelmed with a very deadly disease.

I'm not ready to panic yet but tempting fate with this potential wildfire of a disease is just plain stupid. Good article on why this should raise more paranoia. I like the people who listen to experts and parrot the "this disease is not easily transmitted". Two experts caught it in Dallas. This article details a report by 58 epidemiologists regarding Ebola and 5 of them died of ebola before it was published. IF experts are being killed off, the rest of us are screwed if this gets a foot hold. https://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/six-reasons-panic_816387.html

If driving to work had a Pk of 70%, I doubt too many folks would allow cars in their neighborhood.

A Tops In Blue uniform mod?

His requirement to abandon his jet was a screw up of his own making. Stroll into the Intel shop for more answers. From that point he successfully ejected, landed, survived during E&E, and effected his rescue. He made errors but was ultimately successful despite his best efforts to screw his situation up further.

There is far more to O'Gradys act of buffoonery than just punching out.

Had a guy involved in a mid air while on the road flying check rides. Both got out in good shape. We took him out battered and bruised and all got very drunk. I've known numerous guys that jettisoned the aircraft, one guy rode the ACES II twice. All great guys that made the right decision. much better than trying to discus with the widow, mom, father, etc. what might have been the reasons for no ejection.

I bought one of these figuring it would not be a tragic loss should the thing prove to be worthless. I ordered 3 more after I got the first one. Very bright and can focus the beam down to put lots of light on things further away. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006E0QAFY/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3C_SC_3p_dp_1

And Vertigo still won't adopt a family from anywhere and allow them to share his home and his noble view of sharing with no borders. I hear there is a family from Liberia that needs someplace to stay until they clear quarantine.

Since most gliders have spoilers, I envisioned something similar on the U2. You should attach a boat anchor or some similar drag device to that thing.

Some serious flappage on that thing.

Over Macho Grande?

Regarding the SSD, my 15 year old built a quad core running Win7 with a SSD for the OS and a 1T drive for everything else. Boots in 20 seconds.

Tundras are built in San Antonio, IIRC. Part of the plant is built on a ranch dating back to 1794. Hence, the 1794 Tundra version. Expensive, but nice. Got a 2002 Tundra which is smaller than the current version. Standard maintenance done by me. Only problem has been an O2 sensor which I replaced.

Years ago as a UPT Class Commander, I had some Middle Eastern students. At the graduation ceremony, the WG/CC got up to present some type of gift to the 3 guys, thanks them for their efforts, and concludes with "Remember to always break right."

They'll want to spend another $725 million on a new tracking system to track money.

I'm sure these guys are lying since the word "conservative" is listed in the description. In 2013, the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation released a study concluding that at the current time (before amnesty), the average unlawful immigrant household has a net deficit (benefits received minus taxes paid) of $14,387 per household. During the interim phase immediately after amnesty, tax payments would increase more than government benefits, and the average fiscal deficit for former unlawful immigrant households would fall to $11,455. At the end of the interim period, unlawful immigrants would become eligible for means-tested welfare and medical subsidies under Obamacare. Average benefits would rise to $43,900 per household; tax payments would remain around $16,000; the average fiscal deficit (benefits minus taxes) would be about $28,000 per household. Amnesty would also raise retirement costs by making unlawful immigrants eligible for Social Security and Medicare, resulting in a net fiscal deficit of around $22,700 per retired amnesty recipient per year.
