    Sometimes cheap can be more fun! I'm picking up a Rock Island TM22 (in reality, built by Derya Arms in Türkiye and rebranded by RIA) tomorrow that's about half the MSRP with only 5 rounds through it! Yea, it looks like (and is) a cheap .22 AR-wannabe; but reports are it's a decent plinker (with the right ammo!) and you can never have too many of those! I figured since I scored 2K rounds of .223/5.56 over the weekend at a great price ($500), I have credit to spend on another toy! Range report to follow...

    very disappointed in trump that he hasn't pulled the plug on the ukraine disaster.

    From this photo it does not But this one does: The M345, this is where we really let the right one get away IMHO for an intermediate trainer, yeah the Chinese jet is an advanced trainer but just wanted to say that. The advanced trainer we should have bought Never flew the T-6 but is it forgiving enough that it could be used for an initio pilot training? No Cessna or Diamond training first but straight to a turboprop?

    But... does it have a built-in crew ladder?

    New Chinese trainer(s) https://www.twz.com/air/new-chinese-advanced-training-jet-breaks-cover We struggle to just get new avionics in 20 year old T-6s and they have multiple efforts producing while probably not as advanced aircraft but they are produced, fielded and flying with units… if things like this don’t cause a Sputnik moment in the MIC nothing will.

    Kudos Huggy for taking him. I chatted with him prior. He was really looking forward to going. Thanks from all of us.

    Like I said....Take what I said with a huge grain of salt. I am hoping what I heard was right and I hope this government shutdown doesn't delay the results

    Any news on estimated total number of slots/what the board was prioritizing this year?
  12. HuggyU2
    Yeah, I'm sorry!! At SGU, I took Hank Hoffman flying: 205 combat missions in the A-37 and a TPS graduate Neat guy! Still knew and flew the jet really well!

    Huge--much better news than what my source had shared. Glad to hear they might've been misinformed!

    Good a place as any for this.... Time to cut down on uniform flair? https://cdrsalamander.substack.com/p/overdue-for-de-norkification-of-our

    And alienate 2x of your own voting bloc?
  16. fire4effect
    The implications are mind boggling. 🤔

    Great shot Huggy....ahhhhh the memories but....... Can't believe you left with an empty seat. Good Capt never leaves a "jump seater" behind.

    Glad both crews made it. I'd hate to be that safety officer!

    Im starting to think at the rate they are dumping super bugs they are trying to extend the production line life.

    Loyalty is everything to him, and he seems to be addicted to trolling. Trump is also hypersensitive to any suggestion of political witch hunts now. Couldn't even make it a year. Pity.

    George Santos sentence commutation.. don’t understand the thought process on that one
  25. uhhello
    Incapable of not shooting himself in the foot. Early second term was great. Think he's getting a bit out over his skiis.

    We got a good example of "Bad Trump" recently. Really I'd say 90% of his actions towards Canada have been bad, but throwing a tariff on them because you don't like an ad run by a provincial government is particularly stupid. One tragedy of Trump v2 is going to be that we finally have a president who uses tariffs, which are a phenomenal tool, but he's using them like a distracted child, and he's going to end up discrediting them for another few decades.

    Thanks a ton for the advice. 90% sure that when I do transfer to a new unit I will need to TX to a new airframe as well. I know guys transition a decent amount so I don’t think it should be too big of a deal.

    You are the reason that popcorn is allowed in Shot Val. If this is how you justify how you're not wrong, watching you justify how you're not dead would be even better.

    US Navy helicopter and fighter jet crash in separate incidents in the South China Sea Blackhawk and Hornet down within 30 minutes. Possibly bad fuel...
