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.

Is she dinosaur bait? I think Republicans need to give up on tough-talking women. I'll take the soft spoken Condoleezza Rice and Amy Coney Barrett over Sarah Palin, Marjorie Taylor green, Lauren Bogart, Christy noam, or Kari Lake

So you go there a lot?

New rule to add to the motherhood: Egressers, defenders, and football players in the tunnel have the right of way.

Right of way rules apply here. When players come out or in, it's their tunnel. Anyone in the way, either a cheerleader or banner, may get mowed over.

It's late, I'm drunk. IAW the he man woman haters club handbook At 14:15 reminds me of taking my first wife 4 wheeling on the Eglin reservation back in the 80s. Good times Also at 21:36 there's a door in my barn just like that

An interesting wrinkle here is that the B-21 is already flying.. with two pilots. So I don’t know at what point they’re planning to transition to single pilot ops or how global strike plans to train up some WSO monitors who could theoretically AR or land in a pinch. Just an all around wildly bad idea. Root cause here is they have no clue what to do with WSOs as airframes that have them gradually go away, while we simultaneously hemorrhage pilots. Get stoned, kill two birds I guess.

On that being said "arg"...I declare DIBs Before "Biff_T"!

I want to see her wearing those chaps with no jeans.

Worked for some gunship guys in Viet Nam. In one case the entire crew bailed out. I think the call sign was Spectre 22

Cross over with the college football thread. Trying to instigate with a college kid

1. DHS spending $220M of taxpayer money for an ad campaign is bullshit. 2. Steering said funds to your organization is like ADM Burke steering contracts to his future employer. 3. I look forward to the investigation. https://www.propublica.org/article/kristi-noem-dhs-ad-campaign-strategy-group

A chute is the illusion of a fighting chance. Just like when we carried 6 chutes in the back.

Weed stench, incessant beggering, homeless that don't want help and just want to be assholes, $18 beers.* But hey, there's a Packers bar there with Pliny on tap. * I know, I probably described every mega city.

Glad to see my airline/union assisting UPS/IPA in their time of mourning and assist bringing Captain Diamond home to rest.

Not great if you live there (I have family there)…crime, cleanliness, safety. I’m sure it appears “great” if you’re in the right spots. Kind of like when we visited friends in South America and they said, “oh it’s great, totally safe and clean”…as we drove by 3rd world slums and into the affluent area that had security rivaling embassy compounds in Afghanistan. Yep, THEIR area was great, but everywhere else was not by a long shot.

I was in SF a couple weeks ago and it was great.

If it’s stable enough for you to climb down from the flight deck and walk to the door, it’s stable enough to land/ditch. If you can’t walk to the door, you’re proper fcuked whether you have a chute or not.

Sadly, none of this surprises me. The more I learn, the more jaded I get toward our military/political leadership and what kept us in the never ending quagmires since 9/11. This is proof that no one is immune to the government trying to fuck you and make your life a living hell if you piss off the wrong person. It also puts a spotlight on the hypocrisy around the different spanks for different ranks. Never mind the unwillingness of people to do the right thing so as not to upset their careers. Here's hoping the current administration will fix this situation. Funny sidenote on the point they make about being "frozen" in the rank your retired/left the service. Our OG received a call from a FDX guy about a squadron mate who had the audacity to take MLOA during peak. The dude introduced himself as Maj Gen XXX and to our OG's credit, he made a point to let him know that his retired rank didn't mean shit, then prompted told him to go fuck himself, the MLOA was legit.

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.
