  1. Wait, isn't the CRU the same, OBOGS or LOX?
  2. Unbelievable. Congress to Examine "Inappropriate" and "Devastating" Use of "Geronimo" Codename in bin Laden Mission
  3. Pakistan Criticizes US Raid on bin Laden Then maybe you should stop harboring terrorists, or step up your military readiness, which was clearly lacking if we invaded within 60 nm of your capital.
  4. I hear they're looking for a new OG exec. A brand new SOS grad seems like the perfect choice.
  5. Our sq has been sending people here and there, but you're right overall, not too many. We just sent a fully mission qaulified dude to (worthless) ASBC, so manning can't be that bad, right?
  6. Technology demonstrator follow on to the KC-135Q/T
  7. ~10 Lts voluntarily recat'd. A little surprised at that.
  8. They need to state what their assumptions were to arrive at those danger close numbers. If a C-17 is massive, what adjectives are these guys using for 777s, 747s, A380s, and C-5s? Go ugly early, I guess.
  9. Iran: Dog ownership to be outlawed under plan And you thought our national legislature was off target?
  10. Unless you went to MIT, Stanford, or USC for an engineering degree (or maybe a Harvard for fuzzy type degrees), a much better academic program.
  11. Dr. Yechout, great guy, and he loved telling those stories. I say we made a great choice... it could have been Close relative of And people think the A-10 is ugly.
  12. I'd be interested in seeing that paper.
  13. Opposed to an Airbus that loses its tail or disintegrates midflight? Any day.
  14. Recent is relative. If you're Rainman and the 1985 season when they were 12-1, beat Texas in the bowl game and finished #5 is recent, then they are a high caliber team. Or if you are Oklahoma last year and AF nearly beat you, they're a good team.
  15. Kind of fits the topic: Let's Be Careful What We Wish For: What March-style Madness Would Do to College Football Go Falcons
  16. That's probably going to be tough to get unless someone specializes in sociology/behavioral science. One metric may be the FBI's Age-specific arrest rates in its Uniform Crime Report. There are no alcohol related categories, but the general trend for the different listed offenses is lower arrests for 21 versus 18. However, that could be due to many factors. Edit: Some more reading material, although there is probably plenty of contradictory evidence. Brain Changes Significantly After Age 18, Says Dartmouth Research. Actual Report. One slide summary
  17. I guess I don't understand how NASA contracting you for research is illegal.
  18. How Your Schedule Can Hurt (or Help) Your Health So UAV operators should be keeping track of their time like guys who use NVGs? What I want to see is the picture for when you change schedules monthly and are on mids.
  19. Freezing was just explained, so all bets are off.
  20. Greater than dual flameout over hostile territory, ejecting, and being rescued relatively unscathed.
  21. Most of the Air Force probably doesn't know the difference, so I wouldn't expect much from the media. U.S. Elaborates on Jet Mishap
  22. Air Force Accepts Delivery of Final MQ-1 Predator It is unfortunate that Congress saw a need for more than 187, but hopefully the procurement process for the next system includes some meaningful testing and evaluation... maybe even a competitive process.
  23. Fired workers burn Indian executive to death
  24. As said above, shouldn't happen. Aside from everyone, myself included, having Empirical data on the matter, all power requests go through the PMU, a digital engine control. Being a computer, it has no feeling of fear that may arise from excessive closure, and it moderates between the user input and prevailing conditions pretty well.
  25. FAA Guidance Circular 91-21.1B
