Family pack haha. Nine gallons of beer

Article doesn't say what attitude the plane was in when it touched down. Wondering about a right closed pattern with #4 shut down and possible problems with #3. The article states on #3 "two blades appeared in a position between low pitch and feather", that's where they're supposed to be, the other blade position near feather would mean some sort of material failure.

Cessnas, not sure the model

Two planes for the Cannon aero club got here today.

There was a period of time in the 80s where you were paid the full per diem no matter what you spent. One example I remember was New Orleans, 87ish I think. Per Diem was $75 a day. Stayed at the west bank sheraton and with the military discount and sharing a room it was $12 a night. Big bucks for a SSgt back then.

The first article I read quoted a USCIS spokesperson, Their version of AF Public affairs.

Yes you can. https://www.jacksonvillecriminallawyerblog.com/in_florida_you_can_get_a_dui_f/

"Innocent until accused" (quoted from here) is standard.

"The commandant has reviewed the information provided by local law enforcement officials" Yep, because they always tell the truth. What are the chances, if he's found not guilty, that he'll be reinstated?

She aint got near the ass Kelly had back in the day. You could crack an egg on Kellys butt back then.

The big question is...... Who's going to replace Charlie?

People taking their wives over there is what ruined that place.

Quoted from Facebook "It looks like if you rub it for a few minutes the plane will start shaking violently and dump fuel everywhere."

Funny story that wasn't funny at the time. We were flying the mighty whistlin shithouse (AC-130H) out of Guam practicing for the Iran hostage rescue. Our live fire range was basically a big rock sticking up out of the water somewhere near Guam. We were shooting our regular 20mm HEI rounds down at 2500ft. Bomb dump says they have a "shitload" of tracers they need to get rid of and ask if we can shoot it. We said sure, link it up, a mixture of tracer and HEI. So we are over this rock at 2500ft and the pilot lets loose with the first burst of the tweak, immediately followed by "CEASE FIRE, CEASE FIRE!!!!. Tracers were ricocheting back toward the airplane, some of them went past us.

Trying to start one at Cannon. I guess we'll see how it goes.

I didn't read the article, just remember the picture. Happens more often than you think. The 141 could hold about 155,000 pounds of fuel, wish I could remember more important shit than that.

If I remember right, that was a fuel tank vent that was left capped.

Well jeeze, they had 24 wheels down. Easy to lose count.

That "dual role" thing was a carrot that was hung out in front of the MC-W guys to try and ease them into the fact that the airplane was going to be an AC-W. Like the fabled frog in a pot story.

Thanks haha, I can be a little dense sometimes, after 1 or 12 of those 16 ounce cans

Are you talking to me? I don't know what TLDR is

Extremely rare for a crew to screw this up in the sim. But, it is the sim so they are monitoring closely trying to be on their best game. We have seen similar before and unfortunately will probably see it again.

A good friend of mine went down there as an adviser when they got their Herks. The stories he came back with, wow! Talked to him after the crash and he said it was amazing it took this long.

It's really hard to talk about this and not seem like your bashing the crew. The FE did really well in training, DG if I remember right. The pilot was described as "gifted". We know the facts but there are a couple of things we'll never know. Where was the FE focused that he didn't see the power fluxes and if he did see it why didn't he say something. Why didn't they abort the takeoff, they had plenty of time. Why did the pilot think he needed to step on the left rudder, in a left turn, with #1 engine shut down. Every Sim, refresher or MQ, at some point has this exact scenario. And Iv'e been doing sims since 1983, either as a crewmember or instructor. Tonka, as Contract Instructors we still get pushback sometimes with SIBs. It took an email to HQ safety office one time to verify that we do in fact have safety privilege. It all depends on who is in the office at the time.
