Trump Derangement Syndrome is real! https://www.wsj.com/opinion/is-trump-derangement-syndrome-real-a603e4a1?st=Jpq9jv

How's this affect the TDY name tag? Will the McGroin brothers, Pat and Phil, reappear?

Those that can have moved out of NY, CA, and other high tax states and they have taken billions in tax revenue with them. I suspect that trend will only escalate. What happens when the free shit crowd runs out of money? We have neighbors that moved out of Washington. They just walked up to house that wasn't for sale and offered a bunch of money for it. They wanted out that bad.

I was A FAIP and instructed in the T-38 from 85-88 at Columbus. Most losses in a UPT class occurred in the T-37 with a wash out rate around 30%, IIRC. We would usually lose 2 or 3 students in the T-38 in the contact or instrument phase. I don't remember anyone washed out in the formation phase. There was a change in the syllabus after a mid-air during a 4 ship rejoin. Those going to heavies got more nav and instrument rides and the guys going to fighters did more 4 ship. Worst class I saw in the 38 was when the AF decided to push more students through and limited wash outs. We had a class come to us in the T-38 that lost students in the T-37 for medical or SIE but not much else. It was a blood bath and we washed out half the class.

When the radar is all yellow and red (and magenta if you have turbulence detection), which way do you turn for weather avoidance?....Kermit apparently doesn't give a shit and extends the middle finger (prop?) to Melissa.

Good a place as any for this.... Time to cut down on uniform flair? https://cdrsalamander.substack.com/p/overdue-for-de-norkification-of-our

Can't recall exactly. Go on the U.S. website for Glock. Search for Blue Label or you can go to their map for Glock dealers and look for the dealers with a blue circle with a B in it. Call them, ask what guns they have in stock under the Blue Label program and they can tell you the price. (Program is called Blue Label because the label attached to the box containing the gun is a blue label instead of the normal white.). You can also submit information to Glock and they will email you a complete list of guns and prices including modification costs if you want them to upgrade the weapon.

For those that don't know, the Glock Blue Label program is a really good deal for active and retired military.

I think Trump was going to allow the IDF to invoke the Gen. Lemay theory of "You kill enough of them, they will stop fighting." After the Israelies put a missile into a building in Qatar probably with U.S. blessing, supporters of Hamas had to take the theory seriously.

The New York Times..... Now there is an unbiased source of information.

I'm headed back next month for a re-attack. I'm take that under advisement.

How many 1 Liter beers is "a few?"

i just had a Frankfurt layover in Mainz and NONE of the chicks looked like that. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

I hope Trump added Ride of the Valkyries to that as background music.

Carry insurance, what's everyone using?
