No need, those ROTC bubbas seem to just wear blues all the time. Save the cash and buy the cardigan.

I heard a story about a dude/dudette that failed every checkride in UPT. (Obviously not the 89 rides.) Hopefully that is some motivation.

The brits do have pockets in their flight suits at least

Breast reduction surgery maybe?

Game on?

Probably the Tesla Top speed the vette wins. 0-60 the tesla is almost twice as fast. So if quarter mile time the Tesla wins.

Don't you take my fast food away from me. Go look at the DFAC there is the same shit there that airman snuffy eats. They just have to bring their own sugar free monster to go with the chicken tendies.

Low and slow with the window open. Congrats! Looks like Triple Tree is still going to happen. https://tta.aero/aviation-events/triple-tree-fly-in/ Any other large fly-ins anyone plan on going to?

Wanna fly a formation landing still but big blue cut you off?

Fake news or ahead of the reporting curve? I'll just leave this here. https://www.tmz.com/2020/04/25/north-korea-dictator-kim-jong-un-dead-dies-heart-surgery-reports/?fbclid=IwAR2izg14ovM8Fm4ckB5s2RsSMWi0vI4gyDRJQnFuguqI8UKVTy2ZZx51gzQ

Take a look at RV-4s if you want something lower priced and economical to operate. Unless you are a big dude. You could still fly dogs in the back room is decent if you pull the seat out.

Dewey makes some good flying videos.

The "senior IP core" is a slick wing captain that has no desire to do much other than shoot an ILS to a full stop.

Maybe they are going to give us bonus leave?

Sounds like we might not even get to take any leave for the rest of the year if they are going to let us hold on to that much leave.

No, but I want to. https://www.mdt.mt.gov/aviation/docs/sample-texas-design-guide.pdf

Hopefully the jets are ok

haha yea very true. I was trying to make the point that you can't rent many airplanes with good performance and are just a blast to fly.

We are not allowed to go anywhere off base other than our "primary residence" and everyone in the commissary/BX is required to wear a mask. Is this not the norm for other bases?

Go get a ride in a RV and you will see why owning is better.

How many people are you going to fly with 75% of the time? I know a few air force pilot's with Mooneys and they enjoy them (economical for a certified retract, long legs, good TAS cruise). I have a RV-6 and RVs are some of the best flying and cost economical airplanes ever. The best part about the RV is there are so many of them you can easily find someone that is an expert nearby. Like hindsight was saying, the experimental world has all of the benefits right now with little drawbacks (Eg. you cant use an experimental for hire/compensation) but you can change just about whatever you want. Want all glass or an autopilot? it's "cheap" and you can do it yourself. If you make a major change like a different propeller the FSDO just signs off on it and you fly a few hours of test flying. PM me if you have any questions but www.vansairforce.com forums is your friend.

There is a chance prices will fall but it depends how fast if/when the economy comes back. Also what types are you looking at getting?

Uhh it is kind of a big deal to discuss readiness when it comes to such a large strategic asset.
