The new airline thread
Not entirely true. I had a type rating added with just a Form 8. Met the FSDO, brought my plastic card, showed him the Form 8 and went on my way. If memory serves me, folks like experimental test pilots can get ratings added with at least 10 hours PIC, but that I’m less sure of. Memory on that reg is hazy. Here’s the mil equivalent list.

Cuba
“The registration number for the boat provided by the Cuban government, FL7726SH, showed it was a 24-foot Pro-Line center console fishing vessel built in 1981.” As a boater, this whole thing is making me chuckle. Leave it to modern day media to sensationalize a nearly 5 decade old fishing boat as a “speedboat.” Before seeing the contents of the headlines, I envisioned some douche from Miami in a jet powered F-U money special trying to take a quick trip for that proverbial mojito.

Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training
Not sure that it’s the right thread…but does anybody have a strong recommendation for an at-home VR headset? I want to get one to mess around with rotary wing stuff at my house. Seems like the two best bang for the buck options are PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest 3. I have a home built PC that will run MSFS and Xplane just fine, but want to level-up to VR for immersion

One of the better uses of AI I have seen to date. Imagining the old lady as Congress. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DAuJ7XTnC/

Aliens and UFO Shenanigans
No. That object has IR emissivity, and has been intentionally tracked…hence the tight auto-track gate. He’s also using a designator on the object. Highly doubtful he was doing that for laser hand-off or just to get refined movement information.

Air Force to Field Autonomous Cessna Caravan
They could make a movie about that airport and all of the shenanigans. Too many quotable quotes to count.
