  1. I’m not superstitious.. but wow things come in 3s.. civ: DCA RJ, Philly Medevac, Alaska mil: DCA -60, Alaska F-35, San Diego Growler
  2. It doesn’t really matter if the RJ had TCAS or ADS-B In or Foreflight.. the helo should have had that stuff. I have no first hand knowledge of their equipment.. but it sounds like the standard Army 60s don’t have it. These 12th AB/VIP 60s should, especially if they are flying in that airspace. And if they don’t have it, they shouldn’t fly in that airspace til they do have it. And.. even worse, maybe they do have the equipment, but fly with it disabled because of IMHO blown out of proportion OPSEC concerns.. which is what AMC is doing. Drives me nuts that I fly my Herk around busy Class B and C airspace with ADS-B off because.. China. It’s a crock of shit and we will have a mishap one of these days because we aren’t using equipment that could keep us safer in the non-tactical environment.
  3. The MAFFS aircraft fly with a standard crew loadout, no one extra. The Cal Fire Herks fly with two pilots and and an engineer.
  4. From a friend: “Jerked, when they should’ve jinked. #gonavy”
  5. The next Top Gun poster is released:
  6. I think California may have gotten them. It seems like the perfect platform, so what if we have to restart/recreate a production line. The plane is super simple, even Boeing couldn’t screw it up and it could be a much needed win in their portfolio..
  7. Anyone know why the OV-10 wasn’t chosen for this?
  8. A toast..
  9. Can they both lose? Or is the only option on the table: we all lose?
  10. 700’ = 0.11 NM What a twat
  11. Sounds like a win for the military industrial complex!
  12. Not an airline guy.. forgive the elementary question. Why is there no ability to exclude the GPSs? Or ability to remove the bias introduced into the INU? Inflight alignment? What do you do if you lose power in flight and have to reboot?
  13. Your GOP primary example.. is this: 49.5% Dxx 30% Txx 20.5% RTD There are zero RDT voters? Math in public, but you just need 0.6% RDT and Desantis wins. And.. if that’s not the case, it just indicates that DeSantis, in your example, is more extreme than Trump.
  14. I said it would help relieve the stranglehold the extremes have on the parties.. which it would. Your example is confusing the feature with the bug. Political strategies will change due to the new voting system, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The current system doesn’t seem to be among anyone but the elites happy.. I really haven’t done much in depth research on RCV.. seems to be working in Australia alright, I understand they have implemented it differently than Alaska has, but I’m not sure in what way
  15. Ranked choice voting would help to relieve the stranglehold the extreme candidates hold in the parties..
  16. The 90s called, they want credit for this good idea.
  17. It’s the Woke version for Mr. Potato Head
  18. Michele Obama.. and she wins by a landslide.
  19. Save the mission training for the FTU, we don’t need T-1s and T-38s to standup a mission planning cell for an integration sortie when these dudes and dudettes are still mastering IMC approaches and basic/advanced airmanship. Seriously, for the heavies, buy some King Airs and be done with it. Stop suggesting we complicate things when we can’t even accomplish the simple tasks for one reason or another.
  20. There’s a fantastic book titled “Into the Silk” about the Caterpillar Club’s beginnings through the beginning of the jet age.

    Are you for real? Based off the limited information released, the conclusion you came to is suicide by cop? Sure would be nice to see the body cams.. oh wait.

    Found the full hearing.. waste of time, the summary: Democrat ranking member spends his time stroking the ATF Director’s dick. ATF director answers few if any questions from Republican congressmen.

    What the fuck. I realize I’m only seeing one side and I’m going to look for the full testimony.. how is this remotely ok to ATF and PD leadership? How come there isn’t rioting in the streets over this? Do the cops and agents executing this warrant truly not see the difference between this guy and the gang-bangers in North Little Rock? All that thin blue line bullshit and the flags, fuck those guys. I used to give the benefit of the doubt to the cops and agents. They have a dangerous job, have to deal with the violent and the crazies. It’s more and more apparent, *they* are creating the violent situations. Can’t wait to see what “justice” is served here.
  24. Gotcha, was hoping it was somewhere around Beale.
  25. Where’s it hangared at?
