ACE 2.0
Do cheap and easy to maintain L-39s across the Air Force. Easy to get checked out in, good stick and rudder flying, a good stable platform and can do formation, tactical, pattern work, and navigation. There are a couple L-39s at my home airport and the owner flies a few times a month. Fuel is higher right now, so he’s not flying as often right now, but compared to any of our operational aircraft it’s a fraction of a penny on the dollar per flight hour. Put a few (3-6) L39s on every single base with aircraft and triple turn each jet daily (1.5 to 2 hr) with two pilots per flight. A couple of designated IPs for checkouts, check rides, etc. A few contract maintenance A&Ps. You could even do the old school ACE cross country trips for weekends. This is bringing back some good memories from Plattsburgh ACE days.

Doing very well is subjective. How many national championships did Ole Miss win under him? Surely a head coach of his caliber has some, right?- College Football

I don't have specifics for you, but you definitely want to be on the Macon/Forsyth side of things. Forsyth would be a longer drive than you might want to do daily (45-50 min) but that's where everyone is moving from the Macon Warner Robins area. Oh, and don't speed on 129.- Robins AFB info

How does Kiffin keep getting HC jobs? He hasn't won shit since he was with FAU.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
Take a chunk of dessert in the Nevada ranges and handcuff someone like Bundy in a working vehicle. Truck, tank, whatever. Let him roam around the range and you've got a realistic target. Put it on Pay per View with proceeds going to families of the victims or similar charity. It's a Win-Win-Win scenario. Dirtbag is gone, training squares filled, and families helped.- Reasons to despise cops

...sigh At the end of the day, I think this deputy (and cops writ-large), are tee'd up for these kinds of failures by design. Statute, case law, policy, training, and leadership. It's a soft-statism that manifests itself into a mindset that they can go anywhere, do anything, and at the slightest hint of discomfort, escalate to violence without fear of consequence. And it's reinforced and enabled by judges, or in this case, by a well-intentioned jury that at an individual level wants in their heart to support service to law enforcement. Mark my words: this very same situation, played out tomorrow, would result in the same outcome, within a rounding error of 100%.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Not ideal I agree. If we can get a lot of these into circulation before the stars potentially align (which may be years) to bring back a tax/registration it should be really difficult to undo as a practical matter. I mean how many people actually registered when they tried it with pistol braces?- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Not really. The bible is very clear about murder (don’t do it) and also being unrelenting against evil, including holding it accountable via death and destruction. I know you didn’t mention the bible specifically, but pro life and Christianity go hand in hand, so that’s why I brought it up.- College Football

I've known guys to shoot down the telephone poles holding up the strafe rags after getting a bad score. So, strapping the excretable jihadi wannabe to a pole on the range is doable. 4 ship with 6 BDUs. Best CEA over three events on the conventional circle gets the first 100 round gun pass on the convicted dirt bag with standard 2000 foot cease fire.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Fair enough I read that as a direct response to me. I don’t get the lefty wackos who are pro abortion but anti death penalty either. And just for the sake of stirring the pot: Pro life but pro death penalty is also kinda a funny one because its a value system that assumes all life is a sacred gift from god but then I guess if you do enough bad stuff the courts can just have you killed- Gun Talk
Yeah, this doesn't mean shit if it isn't written into law.
