No one cares. That being said, if someone does care, there is no reason to highlight yourself. Also, I don't really know the difference of the boots, but I bet someone smarter than me knows what I need for an ejection seat. Recommend Bellevilles.

I'm not sure if cadets don't understand it or refuse to believe it, but they really just don't even start to comprehend on what you missed out on. No fault of your own, I'm sure drinking on a Friday night felt like madness after wearing a uniform 5 days a week and marching a parade to eat lunch before going back to get your dorm room in inspection order.

Not quite. The AF does not get pilots from any other source than UPT. The only way we make a pilot is UPT, there is no other functioning cheaper method that produces them at the end of the year. Not the case for AF officers. AFA/ROTC/OCS all produce a 2Lt. Personally I think we should keep the academy but I think we might be missing the mark with these arguments. Agreed there are not thousands of colleges as good as the Academy, probably only hundreds.

Dude, you definitely don't need to know a single radio call before UPT. For each phase, you will have academics that will teach you everything you need to know. Enjoy your time before pilot training, then show ready to work. Academics is 6 weeks before you ever hit the flight line. Study radio calls during contact. There will be time to study for instruments and a bunch of sims. Don't waste your time/money. If you look at everything now, you will most likely 1) not understand it, or B) learn it wrong. No one there to answer questions, possibly outdated pubs, etc. There is a lot gained with academic instructors and probably more from your senior classes that can explain everything to you when you're there. Once you hit the flight line you'll have IPs sitting in the flight room to answer questions.

Fixed it. T-6 FAIPs are not going to have much trouble switching to such a similar platform, or any platform really.

LEROY JENKINS!!!! Also, love the mustaches on the front of their birds

When you shoot a free throw in basketball, you're standing still. Flying airplanes with guns on them is different, and sometimes the targets ARE moving.

so all the same syllabus then?

not mine but from a buddy... "N69WW, cleared to land, caution, wake turbulence, T-6 on short final"

"Yeah, there was a miscommunication with CD Baby. I had asked them to slip the release date about a week ago then cancelled that request. It should be back up no later than Tuesday. Sorry for the inconvenience. Trip"

no madness yet at VN. the wg/cc and wg/cv are fighter types so hopefully things stay normal... BUT just to be safe, while i still can NUGGET CRANIUM SO TO SPEAK CONTAINER 69

HOW DID JOHN LOCKE GET A WING??? Don't they know he's just going to get tricked by Ben, fight with Jack, and screw up every chance we've got of getting off this dammed island!?

SHACK. i was kidding in the first part of my post, sorry i'm not good at internet sarcasm

not valid. faips have equal if not greater skill. no joke here, just fact. plus, faips are all paranoid about getting a buff they tend not to stick their necks out

HOW TO WIN AT UPT: 1. DONT STUDY ON SATURDAYS 2. SOUND COOL ON THE RADIO

maybe those jets could get fixed if you were out there working on them instead of making youtube videos

there a way to make it only pay $55 a night and cut the per diem in half for those of us in AETC?

derrrr takin eerrrrr jobs!!!!!!

A few months back I was doing a little flying. Shortly after take off, we found ourselves flying right through a large flock of birds. Unfortunately for us, both our engines had ingested these things. I kept hearing a pop, bang, or buzz in each engine and I knew we were in trouble. I immediately tried to turn back for the airfield, but we were losing energy fast. It became evident that we wouldn't make it back to an airfield so I had to make one of the toughest decisions of my life--to land this jet in a river. Well using my gliding experience I was able to bring her down softly to the water, flaring it off almost 35 knots below bug! Luckily then we all were able to perform an emergency egress and we all made it out okay. I even grabbed the forms on my way out to log the .2 and note some possible water damage in the 781. When I got back to land I called the SOF, and he updated the bird status to "aggressive moderate."

smoking hot tho in that second pic

this guy is a douche, at least Vegas was sarcastic, not to mention hot

is she hot?

in a few of those it looks like the stupid fukking russians put the wings on backwards
