Solid. It’s the same problem with the URT syllabus, for instance; some airmanship skills only mature with flight time, and the Air Force is negligently not providing it. It’s almost like we had a pretty good idea what made a safe aviator to send to follow-on training, and then totally ignored it.

Pretty severe G forces associated with FNGs trying to not-crash the BUFF. EW passes out every time.

Ostensibly those chodes have used a computer...maybe they should have hit the page down button. Go crazy, see what happens. FFS. Anyways, classic SPO requirements work with the ADS-B out stovepipe. -
That’s the quintessential SIIC picture, if I’ve seen one. Him him.

Shack on this one magnetfreezer. Different airframe, but the way Boeing has hamfisted our upgrade strung out over 10 years and $1B to get our jet to the mid-1990s, no fing way I want approach plates and checklists tied down to the system.
-
Just don’t forget the QoL and lethality/capability bits that go with the $600m.
-
I find the EFB to be good for charts, plates, and the expanded TOs, but shit for actual flying checklists. Kneeboard ref checklists or paper -1 CL probably shouldn’t go away.

In this instance the troglodytes at new-SAC sound progressive for using ForeFlight.

Kill it with fire.

Leadership is one barrier; MAJCOM civilian staff dinosaurs are another, arguably more stifling roadblock. In one really forward thinking MAJCOM, the two star was briefied on an iPad TOLD app, pretty low cost. Totally on board. He leaves the room and the MAJCOM Department civilain says that won’t be happening because back in his day he was faster with a slide rule than any computer and that’s the way we’ve always done it. One sector has innovated since that dinosaur flew AF airplanes One has not Edit: in case you’re curious, the slide rule is more than twice the cost of an iPad.

1,000 Retired Pilots Can Be Recalled to Active Duty

Did he scroll 16.9 minutes into Top Gun and start quoting? -

Nah man, it’s way easier to just tell you, “there will be others,” and try recruiting a 2Lt to replace IPs/EPs. -
No, you’re a tool because of your “I’m an operator” bullshit. No one cares. You’re also a tool because in a thread where we regularly have civil discussion on a near-daily basis about guns themselves (with gun laws typically in other threads), you rolled in and said we couldn’t talk about any guns because of an event. Wrong for two reasons: 1) there was already a thread for the event itself to hug it out for your sensitive psyche in addition to being able to participate in threads discussing the legal aspect 2) By your logic after the NYC incident no one should have been talking about their F-150 or rental cars. How dumb does that sound? So yes, go fuck yourself. Or start your own discussion board with the tin foil hat guy and PYB.

Is this the thread about snowflake whippersnappers? So much for intellectually honest discussions, huh?

Lawfare: The fabricated news stories and click-bait headlines that dominated social media throughout the 2016 campaign are not a new tactic for the Russians. They are simply the latest iteration of a practice Moscow has used for nearly a century.

Frontline: Putin’s Revenge Found it pretty interesting; episode two on Wednesday.

CSAR to AFSOC? What do the customers think?
SurelySerious replied to SCRIMP's topic in General Discussion
It sounds like he’s referring to the electronic systems differences, which may have a more appropriate forum elsewhere. -
They’re going to need ro recall a lot more pilots with how easy that separation decision would be.

Real issue: Will Huggy attempt to Favre it and set the record for most times returning from retirement? -
Regarding geopolitics (and doesn't fit military/aviation book): World Order by Kissinger.

Tangentially related; addresses liberalism, conservative views, and the origins of America projecting its ideals. "Is 'Classical Liberalism' Conservative?"https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-classical-liberalism-conservative-1507931462

I was more referring to plugging in wing commanders who have only ever flown the senior officer qual in your jet. So far Vista has just given us an ADO or two, so can't say it's caused any issues.

AFGSC is trying to imitate. Thanks for picking out the best qualities to try out AF GS comm.

Classic move; you can't be out of the window if it doesn't exist.

This is not a good parallel argument.
