They both look insolvent to me. Although one taxis too slow and the other is constantly fucking up the radios.

They probably were both arguing over who gets ATIS.

Or maybe task saturated lamenting the days when an FE got the ATIS and they didn’t have to.

The airfield manager (Flugplatzmeister) made me park a uke in front of IL-76 once to prevent them from leaving and sleep it off, they were 3 sheets to the wind when they landed and making slurred transmissions to ATC and would not follow the marshallers.  Their jets always smelt like sweat,vodka and feet. 

 

my friend was TA at Balad and said those dudes just wheeled a main tire over to his truck and give him some cash and a thumbs up and left it over him screaming at them to come back.

Now the A-225? Pristine inside unless you go back into the tail (not my photo) where they all smoke and it stinks just like an IL-76. Sweat, smoke, jet fuel, and a few other probably toxic things thrown in the smell mix.

 

So like the KC-135 Boom Pod? Copy.

USAF PA at its best. Again.

They’ve since apologized for the mistake and corrected it.

[TreeA10]

They must have forgot that Coast Guard tankers are painted white and orange. It's a common error.

Good for them, actually happy to see them owning the mistake instead of just deleting it with no mention

They also both float on blue surfaces...so practically indistinguishable.

Feel like this belongs here. First I’ve heard of it. 
 

seems like the first writing on the wall for the Air Force refusing to fix their problems on the pilot side.

Just pathetic.  What a kick to the junk.

PTN is not real pilot training.  Nothing stopping Ops Sq/CCs from keeping PTN wonders in MR training till they prove themselves to standards.  Sucks for the graduates as many probably didn’t ask for this but this business shouldn’t  GAF about feelings.
