Don’t know if this is legit footage or not but crazy they all got out if real.

Holy shit! Hoping everyone is ok.

2 x F-18s 4 chutes seen

I’d agree with that—but why is it so relatively high? I get how certain areas of CA (LA, Bay Area) are expensive, just like areas around Austin, Nashville, Phoenix, etc are expensive for their states…but why is California overall higher?

Watching Trump “threaten” Iran again and again….

How long until he starts building hours? A year or so from now will have a solid one coming available.

Austin was getting close (no surprise), but the state finally intervened and while it's still bad, it's getting better!

I've never seen homeless shitting in the streets in Texas, even in Austin where homeless are a big issue! It's well know to be a major problem in California. Burying your head in the sand doesn't make it go away!

Cost of living primarily.

I love California and hate who/how the state is run. I have a beautiful home in San Diego that overlooks the airport, bay, and North Island... And we've had my wife's car broken into once and a homeless man come onto my patio, steal her shoes and a weightlifting belt I had on my squat rack. We also have a really nice property six hours North of San Francisco where the only things you run into are deer, black bears, and mountain lions. I agree that California is probably the most diversely beautiful state. I just wish that it wasn't controlled by the Bay Area and LA populace. I'm hopeful that people are waking up. Spencer Pratt's Mayoral campaign seems to be going quite well. Can he win? I don't know, but I hope that he does.

If you’re up for an honest debate: Why do you think so many people are leaving California for other states?

AETC is inept? There is talk of MAF FTUs going to AMC as well but likely will stay with AETC; AMC barely has the manning and resources to cover its own ops equities.

Thinking about a second plane so my son can build hours. Debating between an RV (Never flown one and admittedly don't know much about them), or a Cherokee or something in that class. I had no idea RV-8s were going for so much...RV-4 more appropriate?

Going to buy a lottery ticket now…

Yes, I 100% approve of suing the fed gov, and if they’re found liable in court/settle, pay the affected Americans. Holding the fed gov accountable for its actions is not a controversial point.

Mountain Home yesterday

Airbus A220 went off-roading yesterday.

Buddy my job is literally to travel around the country and stay in different cities. Just because it happens sometimes in other cities doesn't mean there's a comparison. California has been orders of magnitude worse since the pandemic. And it's not even close.

So, you approve?

So 19AF can now solely focus on continuing to gut the UPT enterprise

I love CA. That being said, I've yet to see anything in the US that rivals skid row in Los Angeles. It's pretty bad there. It's almost like they gave up on that part of the city.

It’s irrelevant that he’s president; he’s not getting paid. But hopefully Americans who were persecuted by the fed gov will be - and that’s precisely what he is advocating. Yeah it’s tax payer money, like it always has been long before this specific lawsuit, and will always be in the future. Hence, stupid rage bait relying on people to not do any research or invoke critical thinking.

The majority. If you seriously think the majority of states have problems to the same level of CA, you are taking some serious crazy pills. It’s OK to love your state, but you can do that and also acknowledge the historic problems and work to fix those problems. To pretend like they’re not there or that they are “the same problems everywhere else has,” is at best, some serious Stockholm syndrome-level thinking.

Gentlemen, if you.will indulge the words of this OFG, I will give you the 121 sec synopsis of available medical data. The term for the problem is : Reptitive CERVICAL strain in Fighter pilots. It is a wide spread problem and the RIVER RAT DOCS (Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Association) is working to have it accepted as a know disability by the VA. Are neck problems likely if you fly a fighter ? Yes. Are likely to create a smoking hole in the ground from G loc? YES. Flying at Mach 1.5 and 9 G is dangerous business but in my opinion as a Doc and Pilot it is worth it. If they offered me a chance to join a squadron of old guys to fly but I had to give up a testicle... . I would ask them which one do you want and when do we start If anyone on this thread wants the studies or bibliography , I can be reached at JavadocF16@gmail.com

What magic state doesn’t have these issues?
