  1. What’s an ATO and port? Light lift uses civilian handlers and FBO’s. The users just come get their stuff and it’s mostly loaded by hand. I know it’s hard to think this way if you’re AMC but it’s much easier and way more fun.
  2. 4k+ hours in singles always thinking about it. 2EP's is worse than the sim.
  3. F-35 catches fire on runway http://www.nwfdailynews.com/military/top-story/f-35-catches-fire-on-runway-1.336917 Edit, unless I missed an earlier post or if this just expected, can’t believe it took 24 hour to be posted.
  4. Duke 2016 is the new mantra of the Wolf Hound.
  5. Check the 2014/2015 flying hours to see if it's still around. The FTU is at duke field via the 19th SOS till oct then should fall under AFSOWC. Anywho I would not expect to fly it for long if you got the opportunity to do so.
  6. We are off topic now but the C-145 is now officially the Combat Coyote
  7. http://www.doolittleraider.com/ There's 5 B-25 staging out of KDTS this week. I got to see 4 of them take off from my house then as I was getting ready to take off about an hour later watch all 4 land.
  8. 195#'s is a should, so there's a chance? At least cookies are o.k. now.
  9. Back on topic the original did get better with 3D and IMAX.
  10. I do love that it took someone with balls enought to ask the question and the said missileer will never buy a drink in front of me if I knew who he/she was.
  11. This does suck. My unit has hired a couple Army fixed wing dudes and now AFRC is telling us that their fixed wing qual doesn't count. They have over 1500 hours in fixed wing planes. I remember a fixed wing Army dude going through C-130 school with me at the Rock that didn't have this problem, but that was about 9 years ago. Guess we are trying to cull the herd now, but in 2-3 years will be begging to get pilots. I love the circle of life.
  12. I never pieced it together, but when I had a Eglin account as a CGO my inbox was always fragged with CGO crap. I made the move to Hurbie 4 years ago and haven't seen any of it. Maybe AFSOC does have have a good side.
  13. My reserve wing has been briefed for the past several years that if you want to make O-5 you must have PME done. If you want more than O-5 you'll need the masters of basket weaving and probably joint/staff/whatever else the flavor of the month is.
