I used to dig the oddball Mackall/Luzon days and nights. Funniest was fighting a Q3 for slinging civilians into Proplayer Stadium in Miami at halftime of a Dolphins game. AMC called asking on a Friday, HALO the SOCOM team. Met a brunch of nice retirees at Opa Locka. RA on the Goodyear blimp, see ourselves on the jumbotrons, carrying a CHS local news crew. Smiles all around. Find out Monday someone big at AMC said we were Q3 for the civvies/retirees they tasked. Took a few hours to quash. VSP '07, with a smile.

I get the attitude, but I've seen jets tear up runways just by backing on then-Los Cruces, NM on a hot day. Crew brought a new C-17 back to Germany with OEF Grapefruit rock damage and see MX try and say the crew erred- they did not. I've done demos, slung folks n boats n stuff, played in the dirt, mostly in the rules- it did get silllier every year because as stuff happens the new pages stack up and none are removed. Chit happens, surprises are rare, hopefully learned from and repeats avoided. Have likely 5 digits of static airshow visits in 20 years, by all means, go- but check the boxes. sts.

At least in "my" AMC/AFRC heavies years, the Giant Report and a check of CFR are the items OGV or others would check if an OG or higher waiver were needed before pursuing and inking. Items like signs too tall or close for some aircraft, existing waivers that may have expired or just acknowledging that the USAF has not eyeballed the field can come into play, better beforehand. Even Oshkosh can feel like a shoehorn in and out of parking with a C-17 on a towbar. Making sure there are no fees at a joint use or civilian field also makes the list, but not in this context of an airshow static. Until it's parked and when restarted, it's just another use of the flying hours program. Typically the airfield is handled like any off station training field not "approved" in your unit's in-flight/local transition training guide/list.

Weight bearing, including taxiways and parking are thought 1- is the field current in the ASRR/Giant Report? Second- crash/fire/rescue- waiverable, but mandatory to consider.

Chang, where are you applying? Need to get you on the special lists... Just try and fix any little part you can for big blue, those that saw a tipped balance to out do not need your advice. ps, 50ish FSDOs, 50ish interpretations. You know those pesky bureaucrats...

Huggy, I will NOT buy new parts yet, you gotta have a transponder in my plane and for ADSB-out, but you know that. Folks will be selling their early-adopted ADSB-out kits for newer avionics by the time I bite. Freeflight Rangr straps onto mode 3A/C for $2k. Down in 1 yr from a $4k solution. Before installation. I have ILS but no IFR WAAS, for now. The install price and hidden costs of matching avionics to aircraft is going to be as much a stopping point as any shop backlogs. I will not do it anytime soon, just avoid mode C rings after 1 Jan 2020 IF I chose to wait. I would pay $1100 for a solid state transponder, but will fly that $600 in avgas first and throw in a KT76A and put the other on the shelf if it's easily repaired. I don't feel like installing a new tray yet for anything solid state. I only need a shop to check my work, not for the install of ADSB out in a homebuilt- I already have a consult on what they need from my last transponder cert- they can crawl under my panel and check my work. It's 1 radio, 2 properly spaced antennas, one little heed to catch the mode 3 squawk squirt and a breaker. 978 UATs are easy once you know all the compatability issues. I doubt mode 4 and up IFFs are going to be simple to integrate ADSB in small jets. For $479 I have "In" on my EFIS and smartphone already. How is anyone going to get ADSB In presented on their DoD displays? Mode S is a bit too Lojack self-disclosing, It's only needed for class A airspace and outside the country. Like TCAS, ADSB won't show traffic without a transponder. All are to be in stby at Oshkosh within 30 miles- how the heck was it worth having some on when most of us were strangled and mk1 only? False sense of security? Have departed Oshkosh in mil planes twice, quite eye opening, even with an IFR squawk and quickly above the flow. Lots of words and a bit of thread bleed... I bet someone will point out that without ADSB-Out we don't show up easily on freely-streamed websites. That makes tons of sense. I doubt that would be the case with ADSB-out unless NEXGEN is smarter than I believe.

More likely to be out only with a kill switch and a few checklists with an added on/off choice. You'll wind up missing the "In" unless they do more than add an out transceiver, transponder coupler and antenna. Maybe another IFR WAAS GPS feed if the feds get sticky or DoD won't give tron access to what you now have. Interstingly, the FAA is looking at requiring a beacon in all aircraft, Gliders first, there is a TSO but no hardware vendor meeting the spec. ADSB out is only going to be a mandate for planes with electrical charging systems, and not in ALL airspace. Still mk1 sense and avoid for cubs until? I'm going to get a 250 knot homeybuilt with just a battery and starter just because I can. My transponder cooked on the way home from OSH in the RV6, breaking out another $500. bah. Will allies' aircraft get similar mandates or funding to fly here? I too wonder if the feds thought about keeping DoD adsb out off the internet.

Floor of Gamecock Delta MOA is 10k msl and both the MOA and nearby IR and VRs are north of Moncks Corner, except IR18. As CAP-10 pointed out below- I never flew that one- guess liveATC.net bears a listen. 5 miles south of KMKS and you to the outer ring of CHS class Charlie. If either went right in under the point of impact is question 1. Glad the ejection worked. Used to fly GA and Mil there.

Mongo just pawn in game of Jive translations. Bravo, thanks!

Anyone big on watch collecting here, in M-B seats, just start to find it difficult finding GIBs that will fly with them?

If actively instructing in the military, your FSDO should have a savvy enough person to revalidate your cfi without the course. Just ask what is needed, a summary of your IP hours in the last 2 years and whatever else they want- last IP eval form 8, etc. Just a FSDO visit. Your BFR is your Qual/Instm, your current 1042 is your 3rd class physical, if that is all you need.

No damage? Why in the heck did this leave the flight deck? Sure, learn from it, but IN the cockpit.

60 day list I call the, "OG/Cc or Wg/Cc gets me paid list. No federally allowed credit impact til 210 days if you mind the package....

Doc W. is a good dude, runs the 'fuge and chambers and the F-22 issue. The 89 AS flies C-17s in the NE corner of area A. 'Fuge is area B. If you get off base, get a Marriott gov't rate near Fairfield Mall in Beavercreek and walk to Fox and the Hound. The Pub at the Greene is good too at I-675 and Dorothy Lane. Oregon District is ok, but Put In Bay would be a good escape. Columbus is good as is Cinci. PM if you wish. The Test and Presidential Annex by the Area B main Gym is great, just take in ID card, otherwise you get only 40 minutes if you take the school bus shuttle from the Main Museum off base.

Mobileiron at UPS. It is fine, except when they forget to tell it an approved app update exists but they do post the crews. It fires a nastygram that might Q3 all AMC. What could go awry there?

A fitting post, thank you. When I flew 800' card stuff after Charlie Hillard's loss in the Sea Fury- my mentor was his first baton pass partner in freefall. CFR even at little shows was briefed to just lift the tail if they got to an inverted biplane. Anyone easily saved would then self-egress. Knowing how his canopy was rigged, that video was searingly painful. Tailwinds.

(Image: DARPA) By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times Tuesday, April 22, 2014 The Pentagons research agency tasked with developing breakthrough technologies for national security has come up with a plan for dealing with shrinking budgets: robotic flight crews. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is currently working on technology that will be able to replace up to five crew members on military aircraft, in effect making the lone human operator a mission supervisor, tech magazine Wired reported. PHOTOS: Dramatic moment USS Gonzalez executes an incredible 180-degree hairpin turn The Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS) would offer the military a tailorable, drop-in, removable kit that would enable the addition of high levels of automation into existing aircraft to enable operation with reduced onboard crew, DARPA said. Will it put the gear down, find the right airport or smoother air for the next plug?

I submitted a 24 volt adapter I made from the AERPs jack using a decent parts, crickets. At the airline we carry a portable extra battery.

Butters, you do know rule #1 in airline M&A, right? No one is happy until everyone is unhappy. 2006 VSP was so much more business-like. Buffoonery, A1.

The Reserve vacancies list for pilots has more openings than I have seen in my 7 ARC years. Good luck for those working any crossover!

Order a roll off dumpster to be delivered to his driveway!

The retired 4 star from AMC is also tied into the BRAC board. He did not appear to be a fan of AFRC owning iron or sharing in AMC's glory during his tenure.
