  1. I actually met him once at a speaking engagement at Del Smith's museum in Oregon. An incrediblely quiet and humble man that only told the story so others could learn from it. Fair skies sir. Rip.
  2. The problem with trying to sell that watch on an AF forum is that it looks like it has Navy wings on the face. I would try the navy site, they have a tread just for watches as well.
  3. Just a general question on the F35 I have noticed in just about every photo of the F35 taking off that it is always in full burner, is that amount of thrust needed for takeoff or just the pilots preference?
  4. I am surprised no one has mentioned the new Godzilla yet... I thought it was a fun 2hrs, typical Godzilla and stupid humans but overall fun. Plenty of Ospreys in it and a neat B-2 hybrid that stretches belief, then again we are talking about 100 foot tall radiation breathing lizards.
  5. I would actually say this is less of a motor racing movie and more about corporations battling each other for dominance in a market. Should actually be pretty cool if they don't wander to much with hollywood liberties.
  6. CVR FDR circuit breaker pull Post flight debrief to mx = something wrong with CVR. Mx resolution = pilot stupid, cb popped Smiles all around..... or so I've heard 🙄😉
  7. No no no.... I clearly remember the guy at the front desk said all weapons are carried internally. 😂 🙄
  8. This is the F-35 Stealth fighter.... oh wait nevermind we hung externals on it.
  9. "Lobbyist"
  10. Can someone post a rollout photo when it happens?
  11. Key words right here.... Asked specifically if the Boeing T-X might be considered, he nodded and said, “It could.”
  12. They tried this once before, I always thought it would have been a good ac. What is everyone's thought and obviously this is purely hypothetical at this point but if the YF23 had won would MD still be in business as MD today?
  13. He wouldn't have happened to be with the 142 FW would he?
  14. Takes a hurricane to down an F-15
  15. How U.S. Taxpayers Are Spending $1.8B For Afghanistan To Fly A Couple Dozen A-29 Attack Planes The estimated annual sustainment costs alone are more than twice what the U.S. Air Force pays to operate a squadron of F-16s for a year. So based on this information we should buy US Pilots more F-16's then right
  16. I heard this once from an Apple guy and to this day it continues to be the best description I can find. Apple is best if you are ok with a company telling you what your device needs to be and have. Samsung is best if you want to decide yourself. Example developers have to submit thier apps to Apple, if the company feels it can make money off what you developed then you can pay to put your app on the app store. With Google you can simply upload for everyone benefit. Work makes us use iPhone but for personal I have had Samsung for the last four generations of phones ; Samsung has always been more intuitive and when you have both you learn how accurate the first statement is.
  17. Based on what I had in the last program, aircraft were sold at $25m each for same packaging. The key question in the award is three words and how much those will cost. Some additional info actually only an 800m increase not 1.8b.
  18. Technically that is an EMB-314 not an A-29 but meh... Two props forward it might actually have a reasonable CG range finally that would allow additional weight to the rear for ER tanks..
  19. Thank you to everyone on the responses. I am going with the Pad and FF as everyone has suggested, have used it in the past and liked it just didn't want to invest if anyone knew of something new around the corner.
  20. I have both Samsung which I like and Apple due to work which I tolerate. Have used Foreflight in the past, I plan to go the usual route of the Ipad etc.. just wondering if anyone had a better/different take on the same topic.
  21. Looking to invest in a new Ipad Pro and Foreflight + Jeppesen, before I drop a far amount of money on this setup I was curious if anyone had some better options or advise on why to go this route or why not to go this route? Aircraft already has a GNS430 as primary so this is more big screen for pubs, flightplanning, weather, take out of the plane ease of use type function. Thanks in advance.
  22. Every aircraft that Luke flies he crashes, he doesn't seem to need an ejection seat Swamp Snow Speeders in the tree's
  23. Apparently the FO doesn't know the rules. Rule #1 - The captain is always right. https://www.foxnews.com/travel/2018/07/29/iraqi-airways-pilots-suspended-after-fight-breaks-out-in-cockpit-at-37000-feet.amp.html
  24. USAF giving away OV-10's so long as you provide the transportation to final destination. US Air Force is giving away retired turboprop light attack aircraft to Philippines https://www.defensenews.com/global/asia-pacific/2018/07/24/us-air-force-is-giving-away-retired-turboprop-light-attack-aircraft-to-philippines/ Philippines to bolster airborne COIN capabilities with Broncos, potentially Baslers https://www.janes.com/article/81975/philippines-to-bolster-airborne-coin-capabilities-with-broncos-potentially-baslers
