This was the version that went to the board or simply what the squadron drafted?

Classic

The board met two weeks ago. If selected for an interview, expect notification sometime in the next few weeks with interviews in the Sep-Nov timeframe.

True, leadership still pushes for school attendance, but no bets on what the DT and/or DEDB will decide. Still eligible for credit when you meet your IDE looks

No, the cameraman was just amazed to actually see a B-1 get airborne given it's reliability track record.

It cracks me up that the guy filming the whole things continues to pan towards the runway to record the B-1's takeoff almost as though the mishap he just filmed never happened. Edit: Cap-10 beat me to the punch; great minds think alike.

Not yet...Edwards still had old seats.

Fine, however, your original statement listed call signs along with other inappropriate items/actions without making any qualifications. The implication was that all call signs are inappropriate--that's simply not true.

What's wrong with call signs?

I don't doubt that, however, I've seen them in other squadrons and they were of better quality/accuracy than anything I could fashion.

Thread revival. I just wanted to know if any of the Eagle/Strike Eagle bros know where to order canopy bow outlines for use in flight briefs; our squadron could use some yet the standard AviatorGear, SnackoStuff, etc. only make briefing sticks. Thanks for the help.

We nearly used them to refinance our rental house, but decided to stay with our current bank on that property simply due to convenience. The numbers were nearly identical.

We closed last week with NB of KC. Our agent, Greg Mealman (913-383-6452), was by far the most helpful participant during the process; moreso than our realtor. The negative points (lender credit), no loan origination charges, and rate of 3.25% are what drew us to KC. However, Greg's professionalism and willingness to answer our questions no matter how trivial no matter the time of day are what would lead us to go with KC again. Our realtor seemed concerned that we didn't go with a local lender (shocked), but no one else could offer the numbers KC did. Additionally, there was concern about closing in time when using a non-local bank, but Greg and KC delivered. KC runs a tight ship and Greg's work was outstanding.

I agree...I'll try to keep the nerd in me under control.

Picking at nits

Cool, so Navy pilots are good at Motherhood...congrats. But what about the tactical aspects of flying a fighter?

Reliance on automation and how to design aircraft failure modes for pilots who only know highly augmented aircraft was a major theme at a recent flight test safety conference. There are some interesting presentations (pdf format) located towards the bottom of the page. https://www.flighttestsafety.org/2012-austria

Interesting exchange (one-way mostly) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGGaIZXZmAM

I know a handful of folks who use Avare on their Android OS based tablet. It's a free service and has just about anything a GA pilot would need/want.

It was the Chinese

Follow the PSDM. Even before the change, I and others submitted an application directly to AFPC (obviously, I had conferred with my chain of command previously). The application process is not like WIC where applications go through the Wg/CC.

This is not altogether surprising given the current trends elsewhere in society. https://bit.ly/11zvLPJ

I enjoyed my time there for the most part...it helped though that my family was in Denver
