Holy crap, what a waste. We're trying to trim the budget and save money, right? This is a perfect opportunity. Keep the ceremonial stuff (e.g. honor guard, formal band, etc), shitcan the rest.
Slow news day. I'm willing to bet this happens fairly often and doesn't make the press. Standard smaller country letting you know who's running the show type shit...
Sweet, TIB is making their mandatory stop here in the coming weeks. We were briefed on quiet hours for the TIB show at the pre-scheduling meeting this week. It's like an hour after everybody gets done flying. Don't worry assholes, we won't interrupt your mission with our annoying extraneous training and frivolous local flying. NOTAM: IF YOUR IN THE NORCAL AREA DO NOT USE KBAB AS A DIVERT OR EMER AFLD - AFLD OPEN BUT TOTALLY GAYED UP.
Send a PM to Huggy. He and Huggy are the only two consecutive generations I know of that have flown the 38....ZING!
Seriously though, PM him. He has more T-38 hours than any other active flyer - no bullshit.
BTW, nice signature block (sarcasm).
EDIT: Shit, I hate it when I have to edit.
Update: I actually made the cream cheese, bacon french toast dumplings this morning. Next level breakfast maneuver and definitely worth the time. Holy crap, good stuff.
