HoHum Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Audiohavoc- Good on ya for coming here to ask, but because we can't verify how innocent your intentions are, we can't help you. Chances are you can find what you need if you keep looking. Good luck.
Guest audiohavoc Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Audiohavoc- Good on ya for coming here to ask, but because we can't verify how innocent your intentions are, we can't help you. Chances are you can find what you need if you keep looking. Good luck. No worries. I let ATC vector me for a visual approach. I am actually working my way toward joining the AFR, but I am a couple years out as I am finishing my degree right now. Thanks again, Audiohavoc
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 The only fun approach at the Deid is the mid-field visual anyway. only if you're not a vag about it. if you're not doing 300+ and quick roll to at least 45 degrees of bank, you officially classify as vag material.
JeepGuyC17 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 only if you're not a vag about it. if you're not doing 300+ and quick roll to at least 45 degrees of bank, you officially classify as vag material. Agreed
capt4fans Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 He was referring to High Speed below 10,000 ft. Can 130s even exceed 250 kts? Most definitely. I've even seen 300 in a MOA. That was a blast.

I would make that 45 into a 60 and then agree, descending break also qualifies one for vag status.

Jughead Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 You guys arguing about what's "vag" or not in a tactical approach has got to have all the fighter guys on here alternately laughing or rolling their eyes.... A case of internet around the house to stop the pain....

A case of internet around the house to stop the pain.... oh, i'm sure of it.... but you gotta make do with what you've got, and for most people at the deid it's a 40 year old 707 or 707-300

A case of internet around the house to stop the pain.... Glad to give the pointy nose types something to laugh at, those who have actually flown against a C-17 (guessing there aren't to many outside Red Flag types or the Fresno Guard) aren't laughing quite as hard as the rest and have a bit of respect for its unique handling characteristics. Besides, I still think a 17 at 60 degrees looks pretty damn cool. Edited October 26, 2009 by bowe96

A case of internet around the house to stop the pain.... Roll your eyes if you want but at the end of a long flight when you know what horrors await you at the Deid it's the little things in life that give you joy, things like throwing the stick to the stop and rolling to 60 degrees in something the size of a Denny's. Puts a smile on my face every time. Thanks for the

Napoleon_Tanerite Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 If a C-17 is the size of Dennys, what does that make an E-8? And don't forget the added thrill of not knowing if the wings are going to fall off that old-ass hog every time you crank the yoke to the stop
outbreak Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 You 17 guys do overhead breaks for fun? I thought you were required to do those to show everyone on the base that you had your wheels down...
JeepGuyC17 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 You 17 guys do overhead breaks for fun? I thought you were required to do those to show everyone on the base that you had your wheels down... Ha Ha, well played, sir.

Big fat "2" to that one!
Herk Mafia Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 dropping gear at the break = spreading your vag at the break Which "vag" status do you gain by NOT lowering your landing gear at Bagram? Or maybe setting 4 engines on fire at Kandahar?
PirateAF Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Which "vag" status do you gain by NOT lowering your landing gear at Bagram? Or maybe setting 4 engines on fire at Kandahar? The kind that keeps you on the ground.
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Which "vag" status do you gain by NOT lowering your landing gear at Bagram? Or maybe setting 4 engines on fire at Kandahar? who said I was advocating landing gear up? I'm simply saying that if you're going slow enough to throw gear at the break, you're a vag.
