‘If Voting Made a Difference, They Wouldn’t Let Us Do It’ I thought this quote was from Will Rogers but I searched it and it came up Mark Twain. Shows how long ago people didn't trust the voting process in the USofA.

I would salute when there was a good possibility of snipers in the area.

Bouncing boobies at 1:25 in the AOC video.

Two 53s or 47s take up a lot of real estate behind you.

They've been doing it for many years, USMC, USN, and a lot of foreign operators. I agree with the comments above about the damage on the left side being done on the landing. With the right external tank gone they had a serious imbalance going on, depending on how much fuel was in those tanks.

I did NCOA at Tyndall. Hated it. A bunch of of guys that were out of touch telling me how the real Air Force works. I told them this was Red Flag for shoe clerks(a quote I stole from a crusty Ltc about SOS back in the 80s). I wasn't voted class president.

I was a maintainer for a year at Osan, 77-78, weapons loader. Work hard, play harder. If you fucked up by the time the OIC saw you they saw a bloody and bruised mess. The NCOs had taken care of bidness. No paperwork, just bandages and extra shit duties. That type of thing straightened out many an airman. The MX commander probably never heard of 90% of the shit that happened. Okay the bloody, bruised and bandage part was obviously exaggerated but you get the picture.

Since I'm becoming that age. SS started being taxed under his watch. Didn't take notice then but I am now.

Our crews are on their best game in the sim so it's tough to surprise them with a stall, we don't do it. We do gradually fail flight instruments though, like ADI precession, that makes for some good recoveries.

I'm not a Trump lover or hater. When he started his campaign every "Career politician" hated him, GOP and Dems. That's when I sat up and took notice. There must have been a reason for that and I believe it's coming to light. He rolled into DC, kicked over their ant farm and started shaking the tree, and a lot of nuts are falling off that tree.

Pretty well known(except for Biden) that his VP pick will be a black chick. Racism?

I was at HRT for thirty one years, I did do two years with the 1st SOS so technically 29. Twenty one on AD and ten as a contractor. I witnessed everything I liked about that place slowly fade away. I guess I'm one of the crazies that like Cannon better. I do live 35 miles from the base.

We still run guys through stall recovery in the AC-W sim. Pilots who have done it during test flights say the sim duplicates it pretty well.

Props to you man. "Hold on babe I have to finish the brownie in this meal before you give birth"

I would almost agree except for the fact shes got some crazy ideas.

Got two full freezers, one for pork and the other for beef that we raised here on our place. We make our own bacon, corned beef and pastrami, plus we render the pork fat to make lard. Wife still buys chicken though, however we are getting enough eggs from ours for our needs. Where was I going with this....oh yeah I don't think our pork has the virus. Edit, picture of bacon

I recognize that for sure. So you were there when the two gunships got stuck? I spent a lot of time at Howard flying on the AC-Hs 83-89 including the Just Cause. Last trip there was in 95 on the MC-E. There were worse places to be than there.

Nice. Here's the mask I wore today. Gate guard said I didn't look like the picture on my ID

Where is this picture from? It's not Howard. Looks like someone is going to tear up some shit with BDU33s.

The squadron I work in is doing one week on one week off.

Fresh out of Basic going through tech school in Denver (Lowery) spent a weekend in Breckenridge with a wild ass chick I hooked up with. Monday morning in the shower some dudes are like "hey studley, have a good weekend?". I didn't know what they were talking about. Went to the mirror and had bite marks and hickeys on my chest and neck, turned around and it looked liked I had been whipped. I didn't feel any of that when it was happening. Let me tell you, I wore that shit like a badge of honor!

I feel lucky that I flew on these for awhile. The Fulton pickups were a hoot even though i didn't do any live ones.

Checking my list of things to give a shit about today........Nope, not on it.

Maybe it's Australian knots? IIRC Herks try to drop at 120
