How do you feel about your airframe and mission?
Anyone have info about C-12s at Yokota? Interested in it but there doesn't seem to be much out there other than it does DV/AE.

Where did all the new account users that were whining about Trump go? Do any of them want to show their support for these really cool new policies that the side they advocated for now want to put into play?

So it's virtue signaling. They don't have 2/3. Then they get to air ads about how the mean Republicans won't fix the calamity.

Keep Austin weird and Texas stupid. A Texas Democrat just filed a bill to send $1,500 checks to households with no citizenship or legal status requirement. State Senator Roland Gutierrez (D-San Antonio) introduced Senate Bill 297. It would pull $17 billion from the state’s Rainy Day Fund (the Economic Stabilization Fund) for one-time $1,500 payments to households living in Texas as of January 1, 2027. The bill text never mentions U.S. citizenship, legal immigration status, or a Social Security number as a condition of eligibility. Residency can be shown with a lease, a utility bill, school records, or even a sworn declaration. The proposal frames high living costs as a “public calamity,” which is the constitutional workaround Democrats are using to get around the Texas Constitution’s restrictions on giving public money directly to individuals. $17 billion is roughly 60% of the fund’s projected $28.48 billion balance at the end of fiscal 2027. This fulfills a campaign promise from Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa. The bill does not require legal status, so households that include illegal aliens would be eligible under the plain language. It still has to pass the legislature, including a two-thirds vote to tap the Rainy Day Fund.

Amen This is not that hard, we just need a bold leader to stick their neck out and propose an aggressive plan to change this part of our force structure. Really it’s a two part argument, CAF needs a doctrinal change that states given the increase in threats to bases, greater set back and basing flexibility (ACE) necessitates changes in our AR capabilities to support those forces. Larger offloads at greater range, sufficient booms at conventional ranges, some capability to ingress into the furthest ranges of the A2AD bubble, some capability to base adhoc on nonstandard locations for ACE… the MAF could then propose a new AR force.- Strategic tankers
Embraer already has a plant in Melbourne Fl and was exploring plans to make the KC-390 in Jacksonville or Nashville. Believe it or not that airplane is ALREADY U.S. manufacturing compliant because many of the sub-components come from the United States. As an example the engines V2500-E5 are right off the Airbus 320 and are made in Hartford Connecticut with one of the most established logistics lines in the world.Yesterday

AZ is next. Full House/Senate/Gov democrat controlled.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

That’s CA/NY level full retard. Importing shitheads + apathy across moderate to conservative voters only leads to things like this. Another big factor is the average voter is willfully ignorant on candidates and policies - they’ll literally believe anything SM, an attack ad, etc. tells them, with zero effort put into actual verification of the information shoved down their throats. Truly heart breaking to watch this happen on a mass scale. We are repeating history like you read about.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

A Jonesborough man is at the center of an unusual Walmart controversy after allegedly spending three weeks posing as an employee despite never being hired. The 46-year-old reportedly wore a blue vest, carried a walkie-talkie, and spent his shifts giving customers brutally honest shopping advice. Things finally unraveled when a manager overheard him telling a customer, “Don’t buy that TV. We’ve had six of them come back this week.” The man allegedly told employees he wasn’t stealing anything and was actually providing better customer service than most of the staff.- The Next President is...
Haven’t seen the interview, sounds like Trump standard.- The Next President is...
I think you underestimate the disdain for Pete...they WILL impeach him again once they have control. The rumors are about the internal DNC concerns about the turmoil of multiple impeachments. Break Break...the other discussions we should have, Trumps's 60 minutes interview: 1. He discusses UAPs and the briefing from the F-22 pilots. When the reporter says there may be a secret organization keeping things from you, he responds "I don't know bu I am goign to find out right after this interview." 2. He may believe he is a Christian but he has little capacity for forgiveness. I won't ruin it...you should listen to his comments on forgiveness. Finally - In an interview yesterday he refused to endorse anyone to replace him, said he might not endorse.- Learjet 60 Crash West Palm Beach
I have been following the updates on this crash, and the news that the CVR was found stands out. It will be interesting to see what the investigation makes of the weather and the flight path.- The Next President is...
I think it was intentional. If they impeached him, most likely the Senate would hold a very quick trial/no witnesses, and he would be quickly acquitted, and that’s that. Then for the Dems to impeach him again just a few months later would look worse than just impeaching him once when they have full control. This way they’re able to make whatever spectacle of the situation they want in the House and the Senate for the trial. All knowing that most likely he’ll still be acquired.

If Dems were serious, they should have showed up and voted. Measure needed 8 more votes, 11 Dems no showed. Is Rep Ansari calling those 11 Ds out or calling them personally and giving them the beak? The clown show continues.- The Next President is...
Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Arizona) is upset the vote to impeach Hegseth failed. Today she indicated that when the Dems take power they should revisit the issue AND not only impeach Hegseth again, but also investigate people down the chain at the Pentagon who carried out these orders. Fun times, good luck all still on active duty.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

Thanks SocialD. No one remembers the mishap (insert your favorite tragedy here) that never occurs. Because you did your job right the only thing people remember from your flight is the kid that wouldn't stop kicking their seat. As it should be.- Learjet 60 Crash West Palm Beach
Late to the show. Sad situation all around. I landed in FLL about 25 min after this crash and the first heard about it was on the van ride to the hotel. I won't Monday morning QB them, but I will say that I took one look out the window and said no way am I willing to pick through that line. I asked for a deviation south and we ended up flying the west coast of Florida, all the way to the south tip, before turning due north to get back into FLL. I also padded the shit out of my bingo because any divert meant a huge deviation around this line to get a good divert. Despite it raining on final, it was a nice ride the entire way. I don't fuck with storms. - Strategic tankers
