  1. Are airline nonrev flight benefits and CASS status protected under USERRA, or do airlines who keep your flight benefits active during military leave choose to do so to be nice?
  2. Not in the manner you describe. Do your research on the MC-12 and the specialized Herk units out there (HC, EC, WC). Your easiest option is to get on with a C-130H Reserve or Guard unit, in which case being a nav entails doing pretty much nothing for officer pay.
  3. The stirrer tends to create two big heaps of jalapeños at the ends, so best to leave it off. However, in most machines there's a slight tilt in the cooker so there's more oil on the one side. Pro tip to run the stirrer for 180º rotation every 69 seconds to swap the uphill and downhill peños, and then spread evenly to break the mounds.
  4. Negative GR: The results suggested that immunity from getting the virus and still being unvaccinated is a lot better than never having been infected and getting two pfizer shots. If your first exposure to virus immunity was 6-9 months ago (real virus or vaccine), you're 13x more likely to get infected by the Delta variant if you had the two shots and never had the virus. And more likely to develop covid in that group. If you had the virus any time in the past 16-19 months and you're unvaccinated, your immunity is not as strong anymore but you'd still be 6x less likely to get infected again and 7x less likely to develop covid than if you had the two shots (in the past 6-9 months) and never had the virus. And less likely to be hospitalized. And without statistical significance, they think that having had the virus followed by a single shot gives slightly better immunity than the natural one from prior infection. Again, much better than never having been infected and getting the two shots. No data on third shot immunity yet. So, for those who had the virus and didn't get the vaccine, you might be in a great position right now. Biologically speaking, at least...
  5. Here's a new research paper with data fresh out of Tel Aviv, it's a massive study comparing natural to vaccine-induced immunity: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v1.full.pdf
  6. For a split second I naively hoped it was something about a fighter drag or maybe the new name of the KC-46
  7. A friend woke up in the AM with bad tooth pain today at an AD base where the base clinic (including dental) is closed today so they can be extremism-trained. The Tricare "nurse advice line" suggested going to an ER since dental work isn't covered unless referred to by a mil dentist. I wonder if that's true. It's probably a root canal situation. Can you show up to any dentist and be covered?
  8. Don't let the USAFA boys band see this
  9. For all of you flying with large iPads, where do you mount them/what case do you use?
  10. https://www.faa.gov/pilots/training/air_carrier/enhanced_pilot_training/ they're all linked to from here, as well as the new sim requirements
  11. https://www.stearmanflyin.com and https://cessna120140.com/convention/ around Labor Day
  12. I ended up buying it, flew it home from Iowa the other week. Insurance $980/year, hangar $230/month, and however much MX ends up costing. Far from the best performer on the airfield but still faster than a J3 Cub, had to keep flaps down for this one to keep up with me.
  13. I would but flying clubs/schools in my state and nearby are closed. Road trip and hotel/bnb across the country to FL schools offering block time building rental is the option I'm weighing against.
