Being a pilot wasn't enough reason for them?? đđ

About 50% of NYC apartments are rent stabilized or controlled. And the mayor appoints all 9 members of rent guidelines board. So yes, he will have significant power to drive the supply side further into the shitter.

So Russia could take over the Ukraine? This is such a loser chode opinion. But I do think you could make a lot of money as a podcaster

So he canât influence vendors to charge less for a beer at the dudeâs own eventâŚbutâŚcome Jan 1st heâll be able to influence property owners to reduce/stop increases when it comes to charging rent.

Newsome's troll game is getting entertaining. But hey, he learned from the OG poli-troller. Orange hair would have been better. PS, more appropriately, it's their staffs making this stuff.

Well, he didn't charge $13 for a shitty Bud, the vendor hired to do the event did. See, Mamdani isn't a commie, he hired Capitolists to work his party. That tweeter should be happy and buy a round supporting the vendor.

I have always dreamed of being a fighter pilot in the navy or Air Force. I was going to try to get into one of the academies, but I was diagnosed with a fish allergy when I was 13 that I needed an EpiPen for so I just gave up, knowing that the allergy was disqualifying (I finally got tested for the allergy after a bad reaction, but had a history of reactions to fish when I was little). Fast forward a few years now, I just had an appointment with my allergist and we did bloodwork to see where my allergy was at. I tested negative for every type of fish except still slightly positive for cod. We then did a cod food challenge where I ate a whole cod fillet and I had no reaction at all, so my allergist said the allergy was resolved (I grew out of it). I then ate cod everyday for two weeks as instructed and I was completely fine. Iâm now entering freshman year of college and am considering AFROTC (or potentially OTS/OCS after college). Do I have any chance of getting a waiver? I know I was diagnosed after the 12 years old cutoff, but I find it hard to believe Iâd be DQâd for an allergy I genuinely donât have anymore. Thank you!

Break break from previous post: Has anyone here put their airplane in an LLC and leased to a flight school? A good friend owns the school and is very meticulous with aircraft mx, cleanliness, etcâŚhe likes nice things and does everything possible to keep them nice. Iâm not really worried about the wear/tear - someone jacks it up, thatâs what insurance is for. So Iâm good with that part of the conversation, more interested in what ways have you seen agreements work well vs. donât recommend. Things like who pays for what (directly vs. reimbursed), how does money flow between the customer/flight school/your LLC, etc. If you have any firsthand data on this subject, please DM me (or put it here if you think everyone else wants to read it).

You are not far off the target, my time in tankers 01-05 had a LOT of one to a full stop at the Died flying essentially the same mission 2-3 days in a row. Complacency and expectation bias was a real CRM / ORM issue. Variety is the spice of life and necessary in the development of a military aviator
-
My only comparison to heavies is the airlines, which I know isnât apples to apples, but I donât think itâs far off much of the time. These styles of flying allow for significant decay of stick/rudder skills and dealing with EPs/abnormals/unintended events that require them (vs. manipulating automation/simply pushing buttons). It is a disservice to young pilots especially not having ACE - the mil is holding them back on advancing their skills/maintaining solid proficiency. Thereâs a lot of airline pilots who could really use some GA time for this reason, and the ones who donât care and rest on their 6900 airline hours donât seem to realize they donât really have 6900 hrs of flying, they have 6900 hrs of managing computers and rinse/repeating the same taxi flows/departures/arrivals (over generalization a bit, but point remains).
-
I bet those T-37 hours were probably 10% the cost of -135 hours and at that point in your flying career twice as valuable in building airmanship. Resurrect ACE, fly COs after UPT thru a solid 300 hour min program. Give the new ACE program T-6s from AETC (after an avionics update) then recapitalize UPT with PC-21s, T-6Cs or M-345s⌠or this training aircraft offered by Grob https://gaf-aerospace.com/tpx-cobra-en.html#:~:text=The TPX is a low-wing%2C side-by-side%2C two-seater,turboprop engine with 750 HP%2C 7-blade propeller. One more thing, ACE was unfortunately before my day but I believe it was there to give COs flying hours they werenât getting sitting alert to assure pilot development and to aid the development and timing of Aircraft Commander eligible (by hours) pilots of whatever aircraft they were assigned. Good for the pilot and good for the Air Force. ACE 2.0 would serve the same / similar rationale, cheaper flight hours developing Aircraft Commander eligible pilots sooner, less expensive and less wear and tear on an already well utilized fleet of aircraft

Minus the fact the Viper has two different engine manufacturers and different models between manufacturers.

Yep, only one engine to worry about vs three or four

@HuggyU2 I have the X4 and just this week mounted it externally via a mount that attaches to my underwing tie down. I had it up to 180 Knots IAS and it didn't shake a bit.

Well, I guess if you have to spend your cash on food vs spa treatments, sure.

Iâm in shock that beached whales care about their eyebrows. Shouldnât they be working on heart healthy diets and not worrying about lipstick on a sow.

Every now then (though it seems to happen more often over the last several years), the left says the quiet part out loud.

Iâm for anything that slows the passing of more laws (filibuster included). Slow and steady can be frustrating at times, but itâs better than thoughtless reactions. The Senate was originally supposed to be the wise and thoughtful chamber that moved slowly and purposely to prevent knee jerk reactions and minimize second and third order negative consequences. Thatâs def not the case now and removing the filibuster will make it even worse.

AKA, "the" engine. Having only one really simplifies which one you're talking about.

Agreed Huggy, the ACE program was awesome for us -135 and -52 copilots. I ended up with over 400 hours of tweet time while a CO at Plattsburgh. Used Csquared (the off days right after alert week - for you youngsters) as an opportunity to cruise down South for a few days with 3 hops each day. Weâd leave out on Wednesday right off alert and return Sunday evening by 6pm. Any controlled airport with a military fuel contract and at least 5,000 feet of runway was good to go. Smyrna, TN used to give a small bottle of Jack for each 100 gallons of fuel. The Squadron bar keep was happy every time i flew through there. The furthest I flew out of Plattsburgh on a tweet trip was to NM and back. A few others to Homestead, FL and back. Great flying experience and tons of fun to boot. A few of us even got formation qualed and flew a few out and back formation trips too. Iâm still shocked how many of my fellow COâs didnât take full advantage of the program. I was able to fill empty flight slots/schedules tons of times just by being willing and available to fly. One year I flew 2 âguestâ flights with our 2 tanker squadron commanders.
