  1. Today

  2. I believe it was an endeavor Pilot, so straight civilian background. If it had been any of us, they would’ve had to replace the To-Ga button.
  3. Not Lackland. We want good cops.
  4. KDLF 26-16AB T-38 x 6 (2 international) T-6 FAIP x 2 C-130J x 3 C-130H Il Guard KC-135 WI Guard RC-135 Offutt C-17 x 6 KC-46 x 3 MC-130J Kirtland C-21 EA-37B DM
  5. Maybe because it was probably a plumber carrying a pipe on his shoulder. I mean, it came from a Delta pilot. Consider the source.
  6. Gen not maxed on his looks? Supported UKR too hard? Didn't defer any questions to the WH Twit Feed? ABC NewsA top US general in Europe abruptly removed from commandThe circumstances surrounding his removal remain unclear.
  7. So LGA recently tucked the phrase "MANPAD alert" into a landing clearance, and nary an eye was batted. Responsiveness: Meh...its not that cosmic. Proactive measures cost $$$. I mean, the industry will do something...when they're told to do so. Till then it's on-time metrics and making the commute.
  8. What's wrong with being a plumber?
  9. Did you receive it back yet? I reached out to my flight med today which told me they just sent mine off. On IMR it still shows “pending specialty clinic” hoping it’ll be a quick turn!
  10. Yesterday

  11. Like a Lackland, Paris Island, or Great Lakes?
  12. I think the biggest problem is the lack of standardization of training in local law enforcement. Some states require local cops to go through their state academy, some don’t. There needs to be a more standardized process and I think there should be joint academies that train multiple state and local officers.
  13. When an airline sends out anything to the pilot group, it is in the public domain well before 1/10th of the company pilots read the email. I doubt they'll ever say anything to the pilots about something like this unless the FAA mandates it.
  14. I think it is a DIRECT relationship to training. It currently takes more training to become a barber than a police officer.
  15. Not according to the pictures. Apparently he just took command in June though. In those pictures, he gives off the air of a 'dude' who wears tight pants, a polo, and leather shoes to squadron cookouts. Didn't know the 36FS was transitioning to Eagles.
  16. The drop in quality of cops is a direct result of the defund the police movement. Not that the movement actually defunded anything, but it changed the atmosphere powerfully against cops. Ask the question: what sane person would sign up to be a police officer today? Understaff, underfunded police forces will be undertrained and overtasked with poor recruit quality. These events are the obvious outflow. Many here said as much back when de-fund the police first got traction.
  17. I am absolutely SHOCKED there isn't more concern over this incident? It would be so easy to fly a drone packed with explosives into an airliner packed with people. Airline dudes, are your companies saying anything? The bad guys know, it is just a matter of time!

    Dude was probably coming back from day out shooting and grabbing a tasty burger and milkshake on the way home
  19. A lot of them will resign in the middle of an investigation, which will allow them to say they weren't terminated for cause, and it also stops the investigation (usually).

    I think as long as you're willing to buy a bunch of guns, which obviously most of us are, 5'7 is a cool round to add. I loved the pr-57 from Kel-Tec, and they have another cool gun that uses p90 mags. The round is finally catching on and unlike so many others, it offers something unique ballistically to add to the collection
  21. How do cities not do a better background check on cops? That's insane he got rehired as a cop after a drunk hit and run.
  22. Smokin replied to VL-16's topic in Squadron Bar
    Might need to break my ammo simplicity rule AGAIN and buy yet another round.... I'm guessing either he wears unusual clothes to hide it or he just keeps it in his vehicle. Looks like he's wearing a vest in the video, so that would make it easier.
  23. Last week

  24. Looks like he fucked up again. https://www.cleveland19.com/2026/06/16/former-brooklyn-police-sergeant-sentenced-jail-assaulting-handcuffed-woman/?outputType=amp
