Seattle, New York, NJ… utter shitholes. They are not representative of the rest of the country. Worry not!

Currently fly this bird, this all tracks perfectly. Hard to land well, but feels good when you do. The power pulls are wild too, especially a 30 flap. Something unsettling about pulling power at 200-250 feet. -
Let me know if Connie Lingus makes an appearance.

Unfortunately haven’t seen those in many years. Too bad. Sincerely, Hugh Jorgen

@ClearedHot Completely agree. Just would be great to see the super dipshit progressive wing of the Dem party either separate and become its own (Dems go back to what they used to be), or the not batshit crazy people in the Dem party break away and establish a new party. Bottom line, the progressive socialists need to be their own thing; currently they’ve simply hijacked a major party.

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

just awesome, it's like we're all in a race to find the bottom - Yesterday

Russia made a robot. It's a perfect copy of a drunk Ruskie.

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 know, you’d have to get a contractor and I’m sure there would be some mods, Viperjet proposed a mil trainer version, it probably could be done relatively cheaply.

Anyone receive any indication of assignments. I know it’s early but just checking. I already did all the MFS stuff and pretty much have no prerequisites required before I PCS

Who puts it together, the LPA?😁

Then the good people of those cities will leave (if they can stomach the loss), Investors will cash out, Businesses will leave or shutter. Or, they stay and tolerate it. Mamdani isn't going to effect tourism either way. The theater thats NYC will always be there, and now they have a new act for people to see. If a biz leaves NY, someone else will fill the space. Same goes for a real estate owner. Anyway, if someone is expecting NYC to fail, don't hold your breath.

I agree. I think the right is underestimating the political energy and direction politics is headed in this country, mostly in big cities. I think socialism and open support for violence against the right is taking hold of a larger and larger percentage of the population. The question is, when will the dems find a way to remove themselves from the violent leftist progressives? Let the progressive’s behavior and ideas stand on their own outside of the Democratic Party. This country desperately needs bad examples and we are about to get two of them, one in NYC and the other in Seattle.

If you think Mandani’s policies are bad (they are), then take a look at the new mayor-elect of Seattle.

Leave the kids alone. If the boomers hadn't raped every institution and convention for their own advantage, all the while incinerating the housing market, suppressing interest rates, saddling every 22 year old with crippling debt, and inventing "too big to fail," maybe the younger generation wouldn't look toward something different. The American Dream was raped by the generation that cried out for free-love and no war until they got in power to give us a corporatist government and endless wars. Now they don't like that their kids are skeptical of their promises. No small wonder. Socialism is a nightmare, but you have to be blind to think this is just about lazy young adults. 😂
-
I agree cautiously...The younger generation is spoiled and soft...Iphones, safe spaces, remote work, and a general dislike of hard work has opened the door to uber progression socialist ideas that promise free everything. A lot of them voted in this last election to elect a self-described democratic socialist who is actually a communist to be the mayor of NYC. Even more troubling was the election of the Virginia Attorney General, a man who sent text messages advocating not only to kill his opponent but to put bullets in the heads of his children. Can you imagine the outrage if a mainstream conservative said such a thing? The fact that these shitbirds were put in office is a warning shot that the younger generation is looking for leadership and as of now they are finding it on the FAR left.

Don’t want to veer off topic too much and fantasize this plane or that one but…. this jet, yes it’s a kit plane, could be the basis for what could be a great ACE CT aircraft https://www.kitplanes.com/viperjet-redux/ Like a modern Folland Gnat, small light quick nimble and cheap in jet aircraft terms. It would be modified some for sure if adopted for an ACE or CT aircraft but the basics I think are handled.

Your age is a pretty glaring factor. It’s extremely hard to get hired by a fighter unit when you’d be going to UPT near/at the age waiver requirement. It happens occasionally, but data shows it’s very rare. I think many units won’t even entertain interviewing someone who’s in that position, regardless of how stellar their app is otherwise. When a unit sees your app vs. a very similar app (but the guy is 23), they’ll take the 23 yr old 9.9/10. Your best bet is keep submitting apps, but hit your home unit with all you got - put in the extra time to interact with pilots as much as possible, make it known ASAP to them you are excited to be a CC, but your ultimate desire is to fly in the Wing. Your home unit is probably your best bet given your timeline. If no luck by 30, I’d start throwing out apps to heavy units if you really want to fly mil. If you don’t want that bad enough/fighters or bust, then so be it, but be at peace with the decision and never flying for the mil (if it comes to that).

It feels like a pipe dream, but I hope there is a successful movement on the “near” left (e.g. the mid 90s Dem mindset citizens) to establish a new party and send the Dems the way of the Green Party. AOC, etc. can enjoy their irrelevancy on ballots and in the public square. We don’t want everyone to be in lock step with one party - we need rational debate and different ideas, as well as shifting leadership over time (e.g. not having one party dominate for decades). But we also do not want a socialist shit show party who hates everything about America and wants to completely reinvent it into an abomination.
-
Really? That’s at least one thing possibly moving in the right direction Probably so but if the Bobs get a win they don’t lose face and the Line gets the flying it needs, so be it. I think if the staff wanted to approach the Hill and justify they could with fairly defensible points: - Delays in delivery of new MWS platforms causing excessive waits / BITs - UPT production is high, no corresponding increase in FTU capacity hence low flying time for newly winged aviators - Need for proficiency and experience building prior to and during MWS training with tasks / general flying that are cross platform reinforcing - Fewer MWSs now than historically per pilot in the Air Force hence there is a need for an affordable, capable training aircraft(s) or program(s) to achieve flying experience targets

The only thing the shutdown accomplished was to destroy any remnants of the Old Guard Democrats. Nancy is retiring, Nadler is retiring, a host of others are leaving and they will primary Schumer. AOC and the other lunatics are now the norm and leadership of the DNC.
