    Only for UPT. I know they are dropping in the VML for a select few unlucky souls. Something to the effect of 11Hs need to pay the piper.

    Why can't the Army conduct split ops and help the fight from CONUS?

    Is there an age limit for the 18Xers like there is for UPT?

    Two piece flight suits are legit, especially when wearing armor in a helicopter with no air-conditioning. Or for the sweaties when they're pre-flighting or loading cargo so they can take off their blouse instead of tying their flight suit around their waist and risk getting yelled at by SMSgt Dicks-a-lot.

    The same control stick grip from the F-86 is used in the Huey....70 years after the fact.

    We should get the MAFFS birds to spray them over ISIL. Newest non-kinetic area denial weapon!

    WTFO dude? Unless my sarcasm detector is A3 you need to slow your roll. Do the Skype thing like everybody else. It's only a year.

    The new houses at Columbus have garages. If you get in the old (most studs do) you'll have a carport.

    It probably has to do with how they're utilized (ie unit owned vs COCOM). There was a post on the Army's UAV control a couple months back but I can't find it.

    The difference with the fighters is that they are all that's left of ADC. The alert mission is a valid one. I don't think flying a B-2 is. Can the Missouri governor even mobilize them for state missions? Ferguson would really need to be rioting for that to make sense.

    What caused the ANG to shift from its ye olde CONUS defense mission of yesteryear? It seems weird to me that the state militias of old have A-10s. How would a state governor (reasonibly) ever use them to help his state? C-130s and interceptors fine, maybe even tankers since they could help with other CONUS missions. Was there an "Ah-ha!" moment or was it a gradual iron/mission shift?

    On your own dime with a commercial carrier.

    You and your logic

    It's great in the 60 for keeping track of your wingman on low illum nights and for sending/receiving 12.6 or 28.2s. Most ground stuff we just plot on the map.

    Then again they didn't evade for 11 days.

    The alert is a set of Jax F-15s
  19. Breckey
    They are approved for flight. Pretty much all of rescue wears them. The approval for everything not on the official STF letters is MAJCOM level. The STF letters are found on the Air Force Uniform Office's portal page.

    Stop hating the sound of freedom getting some NVG hours. Also wait until the summer when the land times are close to 0100 due to the EECT not being until almost 2230.

    Or the logistics of having PW or GE F-16 bases.

    They moved the AIBs to the FOIA page. Edit: The full AIBs were moved. I have no idea about the summaries.

    Vandenberg shut down in 08. Also Malmstrom is the best thing going in Hueys IMO. Especially with the current leadership and no alert.
  24. Breckey
    I feel that the Huey take rates are driving up the numbers a bit as well. Time away from family (outside of alert) is pretty low and deployments are hard to come by now that the Mi-17 gigs are slowing down. IMO those combine to make a high job satisfaction and high retention rates.

    Every aircraft other than the F-16 (and the 15SG) have had a single engine. Nobody complained when the F-4 only had the J79 available. It's a political move. The F136 would have had teething problems as well.
