At least FOD isn't as big of an issue with those old centrifugal compressors.

Um, yeah okay. So an entirely new set of equipment, training pipeline, and logistical train for Air Guard is not a valid reason reason to not acquire the super bug? Also I highly doubt that LM will balk if the AF asks to buy some F-16 Blk 52+.

It's not that SEC fans are obnoxious, it's just that we are better than you. Face it, with the exception of Ohio State (but even they get smoked by the SEC), the Big-10 has sucked as of late. Their last hurrah was the title game that they stole from UM due to a blown call, and that was over 7 years ago.

I was reading about some of the Thud pilots in Vietnam having specialized "party suits" and wondered where they all went? I saw this post but I have not really seen any pilot wear one. Has the PC-Shoe influence caused the party suits to fall by the wayside? Seems like it would be a good way to show that bit of rebellion in the AOR while still maintaining that "professional" appearance.

I got saluted at Bolling by the rent-a-cop. Freaked me out.

Was mandatory fun for the frosh at the zoo

She came to the Zoo a couple years ago to present a painting that she did for a Ft. Carson soldier's family. Her story was amazing and brought a tear to nearly every eye.

NASA test pilots

2 on the Fat Tire. Also pretty much anything else from New Belgium, Odell's or Breck Brewing Company. I will sorely miss all of the craft brews from Colorado in MS.

Air Force jet crashes north of Edwards AFB CALIFORNIA CITY, Calif. (AP) — A military jet has crashed north of Edwards Air Force base in Southern California. Kern County fire spokesman Sean Collins says the Talon T-38 went down about 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the Mojave Desert. Collins says he has no immediate information on the crew. A T-38 can carry two people. Lets hope they got out.

The design of the inlet creates a shockwave which slows down the airflow to subsonic speeds. Very similar to any other fighter inlet design.

From LM: LM Mourns the Loss of F-22 Test Pilot David Cooley FORT WORTH, Texas, March 25, 2009 Lockheed Martin test pilot David Cooley, 49, was killed Wednesday at about 10 a.m. Pacific time in the crash of an F-22 aircraft flying on a test mission from Edwards AFB, California. We are deeply saddened by the loss of David and our concerns, thoughts and prayers at this time are with his family. David joined Lockheed Martin in 2003 and was a 21-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He worked at the F-22 Combined Test Force, where a team of Lockheed Martin and Air Force pilots conduct F-22 aircraft testing. Him. Him :beer:

Shit, I think i know the pilot. He is a standout guy and a great loss to the nation. Godspeed.
