That video has Little Rock painted all over it. From the guy on the bike to the reckless endangerment and emotive and aggressive unprofessionalism of the cop. But hey, the biker started it, so what's a little more reckless endangerment matter if it works, right?

There'll be a lot of dated info around here, but in general it depends on the circumstances of how you depart UPT. If you DOR (request your way out) you likely have a better chance of getting the job you want vs if you get washed out. I've known guys who DOR'd, got washed out, and even dudes that got FEB'd later in their careers and departed the flying world. Some became JAGs, missileers, and acquisitions officers. I would not go into UPT focused on what happens if you fail. If you genuinely don't like it, then you can quit and the world won't come to and end. If you try and hedge by quitting before you get washed out...well...don't do that. You won't be in a good position to judge just how well or poorly you're doing.
Hang tough on this topic for a week or two and let those who are currently IPs in the training system chime in. They have busy lives and can't always get to the page immediately, but they will show up.

Meh. More proof that China has finally entered the 80's.

An F-4 with canards is the airplane equivalent of Robin Olds declaring he has pronouns.

Bill Oreilly still exists? And people listen to his guesses about economics? Jesus.
My parents do...it's simultaneously depressing and entertaining when they bring up his talking points.

Would be pretty wild to watch if they release any video. Glad no one got hurt!
The one minor injury being inflicted by the nearest CPO 10 seconds after the incident...

That's the entry and exit between the two countries when you're going eastbound. There's a FIR handoff avenue east of Shanghai.

The SOF strikers got their tailwheel rating, now give us herk drivers our multi-engine seaplane rating!

I know of an individual who claims that while deployed to Iraq they were put in for a Purple Heart but the paperwork was conveniently lost.
Same individual claims to have pulled 12 G's in the back seat of a Viper.
The stories never stop.
@General Chang actually did those things when he was Captain Chang. How do you think he made General?
Show some respect.

There aren't any actual controls inside one of these things, right? Oh, and apparently this is an actual mission (of some kind).
Katy Perry, Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez heading to space with Blue Origin’s historic all-women mission
The mission is to retrieve the 10mm these chicks dropped a while back.

With canards. So it's a fighter with training wheels AND a backseat driver...

Over/under on the number of Mark 48 firing solutions there were on that Type 055 cruiser during that entire event? I'd guess at least 3.

Anyone wanna take a swing at WTF Trump is talking about in his private jet lol?
Most likely GLS. Pretty cool and virtually transparent to the operating pilots. We're encountering more and more in the international realm. Uses a highly accurate GPS ground station at the airport to tell the airplane exactly where it is. Same freqs as ILS without the transmitter sidelobes, so no false glideslopes. RUMINT has it that Russia started using a several of these because they are easier to install and maintain in remote locations...but long-haul pilot RUMINT worth the price you pay to get it.
As to Trump's comment, it seems like he doesn't make stuff up completely out of thin air. He simply overhears a conversation that he knows nothing about, then turns around and talks like he knows everything on the topic. So basically the same 10% rule surrounding every pilot story ever told.

Not in the budget yet. But this will be my home defense in near(ish) future.

Reverse your roles. FO was pilot flying and he queried the CA about the motors, who denied taking any action, despite the recorded events on the box saying each switch was cycled off then on. Having encountered enough Indian aircrews, I can readily imagine a senior CA denying any error. I can imagine a few senior CA I've flown with in the USA doing the same. Ego gets strong with some.
