Considering the released the dudes they caught last time, I'd be concerned too.

Finally they realize the genius of ideas proposed on base ops

New development on this thread, looks like this program is coming soon: https://simpleflying.com/b-1-lancer-crews-now-logging-proficiency-hours-honda-buisness-jet/ It will be interesting to see how AFGSC integrates these Honda Jets in the future.

WTF

correct me if i'm wrong, but did Hive91 not say on the radio that they called out them descending to 12?

It worked with the Phantom

Surely having one company make similar combat aircraft for the sister services will boost efficiency right.. right??

We are in agreement, they are 100% wrong. However.. this is what the Air Force is going to get when you gut training. Giving guys and girls their wings after a T-6 only syllabus. More time in the air is the fix.

Hell there is a guy with a citation that will declare an emergency just because of the sun.

Where did this paranoia about declaring an emergency come from?

Disagree...basic IFR rules, what if there was another aircraft between them and 12k? If you are going to descend on your own you have to tell someone.

Meanwhile...

Young crews, some are doing the best they can with the experience and equipment they’ve been given.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if the cops got fired as way to send a message to the rest. Actually the more of the like minded PoPo that get sent packing now means they aren't available if the administration changes to a less friendly one.

Since my googl-fu says US Park PoPo is fed, Pete will call Don and this will go away. Carry on, Guardman.

What, no Hellfires zip tied to the flap pylons? No 9mm Beretta with trigger cord taped to the swing window? This is Detroit, USA.

I heard a story once of a TDY to Cali from a nearby state where all of a sudden during prep for the late afternoon go, a bunch of the sweaties tore off back to the base lodging they were staying in. They apparently came back pretty quick and when questioned WTF somebody had some random excuse. Turns out rumor got around that base authorities were looking for personal firearms in lodging....

My guess is they'll eff with him for a few months and let him rack up big legal bills then either drop the case outright to moot the case or offer some bs plea deal that waives his right to appeal.

And how many fully 'back the blue' with no concept of consequences for them.

You forget how many regular citizens view gun ownership as inherently "asking for it" much less answering the door with a gun in the hand. The sheep out-bred the sheepdogs a long time ago.
