  2. Here’s some good advice, keep your rating to yourself. There some veterans, usually former grunts from the Army and Marines, who assume one has to be a quadriplegic to have a high VA rating. This really goes for 100 P&T.

  3. Not sure what can that is, but I highly recommend DA Wolfman for 300 BLK. With my reloaded 220gr subs, it’s quieter than my nail gun (host = 10.5” with pistol length gas system and SA adjustable gas block). Maybe my favorite gun to bang steel with. The Wolfman also works awesome on any 9mm host and on 5.56 (though there are better options for a dedicated 5.56 can, it’s still damn good).

  4. At my current employer we fly in and out of Kona in a 747 using CTAF VFR procedures and picking up IFR clearance after takeoff. I did that in a cessna or USAF C-130 doing VFR flying. Never thought I'd be reporting at VFR pattern entry in a 74 though. "Any traffic please advise"

  5. We recently had a mod that we had to go to a dinky airport in New Jersey where you got your IFR clearance by calling McGuire on the phone at the end of the runway. Of course the guy I call is maybe an English 4th language type and about all I understood was "clearance void if not off the ground in 2 minutes" I just took off and turned toward what I thought was the VOR he said to go toward. Seemed to work out.

  6. ORD was my first taxi out as an airline pilot. Dude, talk about a wake up call. Luckily I had a good captain who looked at me right before I called for clearance and said "wait, this is your first time ever taxing a commercial aircraft?" "Yep" "Ok, write this down" and proceeded to give me what he expected the taxi instructions to be. He was 95% correct and a huge help. He also said 'don't be surprised if they read off your taxi instructions and then go on to the next airplane without giving you a chance to read back'. I think I said "WTF, can they do that?" "This is Chicago, FAA regs are more like suggestions..."

  8. Ammo is heavy and more compact than cinder blocks. I think a case of 45ACP weighs about 25lbs. Partial DITY that stuff instead, and then you have ammo at the end of the travels.

  10. I may have taxied in Ohare from the runway to the gate without ever getting a spare second of radio time to make contact with ground. Just jumped into the flow and no one noticed us.
