To whom it may concern. Will the person at the O-club Friday night who drew dick pics in our flight caps please provide new hats. Sincerely, Col. Harry Balzac & Col. Hugh P. Ness

I’ve heard lots of credible source negatives about Crenshaw for several years. Unfortunate, I had high hopes at the beginning.

It’s a code instructors get that just identify them as having gone through an instructor upgrade course.

2026 ACTIVE DUTY UFT BOARD
Mintberry_crunch replied to rparsonsr2's topic in Pilot Selection Process
Soooo…..what’s a k-code? 😅 -
Yeah I don’t put on Capt until 27 so I’ll have enough time to get my K-code
-
I started IPUG right before I went on a long tdy when I found out I made it. Got back from said tdy and was promptly removed from IPUG. I wish I could have gotten it just for the K code but I guess the DO didn't want to waste his time with me and my CC just backed up the the DO and said it was his decision. Looks good when you go up for Major but you should have enough time to get your K code when you eventually get to your new MWS if you're a Lt right now or even a young Captain.

Same. Was saddened to hear that Crenshaw is in that bucket from their perspective. I was hoping he'd be one of the good guys. Perhaps he is, but the comment Ryan mentions about Crenshaw's "boys down at 6" was disheartening.

Turkish C-130 Crash (broke up in flight).
disgruntledemployee replied to ClearedHot's topic in General Discussion
Probably like the Marine 130 vid above. I wonder if the swap to the NP2000 8 blade scimitar prop would be any different if one of those lost a blade. Or J model. The Marine KC-130J that was hit by the F-35 in CA and put it down in a field showed all the blades on 3 and 4 were missing. Just pondering out loud. As for E models, time to start wearing parachutes like a B-17 crew. -
precisely my point. I grew up 3 hours away from D-town, and it used to be a place you'd go just because you could...much like NYC. NO ONE goes there now unless they have a specific reason. NYC could easily go that way. It would take a couple decades, but I've lived in and visited major cities (well beyond seeing the airport and hotel) that suffered through the awesome-to-aweful transition as the result of socialist mismanagement. Bucharest, Sophia, Tbilisi, Beirut, San Francisco, and specific burbs of the LA basin all stand out as examples.

This is hard to answer without more specifics, but agree with Herk- no harm in pursuing your dreams. You are not wasting anyone's time.
-
Yes, 3 nights ago. Hotel was decent. Detroit, big airport, shit place for tourism, except the Lions. NY, the opposite, complete with 2x shitty football teams. Regardless, two different animals.
-
Certainly there are platforms that benefit from a construct like this, and if that is the reason for the renewed discussion you could say I'm all for it. Limiting it to platforms that are in high demand with inherently low flight time available makes a lot of good sense. That said, I have a feeling that this subject is coming up because of the UPT/FTU pipeline problem, which was wholly self-induced. And if that is the reason, all I can do is shake my head.
-
Just listened to it. I’m not really surprised by any of it, but it is still absolutely blood boiling. I hope the Trump admin steps in and rights this egregious wrong.
-
Detroit was technically too be to fail too. Been there recently? Given communist rule, ANY city is fully capable of collapsing and consuming itself.

Please DM me if you have any SLC tanker contacts. Prefer patch/DO/plans, but any aircrew to start is better than nothing.

I wonder if few of these propellers were sent to foreign military sales. Air Force engineer indicted in connection with Marine plane crash that killed 16 -

Cool, I bet those government groceries will be great!

Once again, Hoover nails it (STS)!

I’m not in my window until May I think. I’m on leave for the next week and then my last 2 weeks on mids after that. Then my team goes on recon for 7 weeks and I don’t go back to flying the line until February so I’m hoping to be out processing by then. I am going to finish my MCC upgrade though. I’m just glad I don’t have to go through IPUG because I know I would’ve started in December if I didn’t get picked up lol.
-
I've been combing just about everything multiple times a day and no dice. In the meantime, Im enjoying the upgrade blender and depending on PCS dates my finny flight may well be my checkride with the holidays about to eat up my month 3 and 4.

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

Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training
ryleypav replied to LookieRookie's topic in General Discussion
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.
