Several examples of ASHP hitting their lights, subject vehicle making indications of pulling over (flashers, slowing down, heading to the next exit, NOT RUNNING), and getting PIT'd in under a minute. Policy, training, culture.

So I understand the argument against based on the risk of collateral damage, but from the perspective of the maneuver itself, are there many examples of "unjustified" PIT maneuvers? You're either running from the cops or you're not. That just sounds like the pinnacle of "win stupid prizes." Or are the Arkansas troopers ramming cars 60 seconds after turning on the lights?

John Oliver has a recent episode on police chases. As I watched, I bet myself a beer that he mentions Arkansas St Troopers. Yep. Highest rate of PITs.

pro putin? lol nah just anti-another endless involvement in a bullshit part of the world that no one gives two shits about. ukraine is a corrupt cesspool that shouldn't get one dollar of our money...especially considering china is the much more strategic problem to worry about...AND especially considering we are fucking BROKE as a country.

I'd like to see that exact same interaction happen without a badge to hide behind and no TV cameras... That 'tough guy' would get whooped.

That’s awesome On and on and on, keep on rocking baby till the money’s gone.

Not even a CPO guy, just a line guy who’s clearly the front runner for biggest douche of the airlines 2025 award? I can’t even fathom that.

I have a friend who is a YouTuber who makes nothing but a bunch of woman-hating incel videos. It's not quite like this, because it's literally him reacting to the videos with a soundboard and shit. Last I checked he was making about $40,000 a month doing it putting out a couple videos a day. The hilarious part is that he is an absolute beta in his marriage and is barely manly enough to put together an Ikea couch. But because everything on the internet is fake he has thousands and thousands of lonely men who watch his videos everyday and hold him up as some sort of alpha hero. 🤣😂 He knows it's going to all come crashing down one day, but he's making an absolute killing doing it right now and I have always appreciated a good hustle.

We have some Navy dork at AA who was going around on his own volition and calling MLOA guys to harass them about their leave. Kept doing it until he was threatened by the union to stop or they'd report it to the company. Some guys just aren't happy unless they're unhappy.

You are *way* behind me in line 🤣😂

Can you iamgine how he acts on a traffic stop when no one else is around and no national media looking at you?

Michael "Mike" Hunt was a good dude.

Dibs

Shoulder a cop like that and it’s assaulting an officer

True, but I'd still hit it.

I heard it was Ben Doverbich. I still have that one tucked away in the safe. At the request of the Air Force Museum it will go on display in Dayton when I fly west.

Barry name tags and dicks in 4 stars’ hats (and also their backup hat, suck it exec!) Those were the days.

As much as AOC?

The best part is the expertly executed black-curtain deployment

Barry McCockener drew the dicks in the hats.

Go all in and put two WSOs in it.

I she's been dib'd more times than I care to think.

Could have also replaced the right seat in a U-28 with a CSO since that pilot did a lot of sensor work (WSO mafia thinking)…until you need him to fly the plane. Same problem in any aircraft, especially high value/low density assets like B-21. I’m not saying a WSO isn’t capable of managing sensors, AI, etc., but you create a gaping capability hole and increase risk when you cheap out on a WSO vs. pilot in the other seat. And if it wasn’t for their very long sortie durations, I’d say make it single pilot.

Not a lot, but I didn’t say I did. Do you live there and know better than my family who has lived there for 40 years? Although it does seem like things have become better, so good on the city for that. That said, I’m actually not picking on San Fran, it’s the same problems any major city has. There are nice spots in most big cities, but nobody should be naive enough to think those spots are representative of the whole. The Boston layover is nice, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t MANY neighborhoods/areas that I would be an idiot if I went to them.
