This is primarly aimed at the guard dudes.. Just recently I was hired by Lockheed as an engineering manager on the JSF..(which I am fukin stoked about, and dont want to "burn any bridges")with a start date of april 20. They know im in the guard, but what they dont know is that I just got selected for a pilot slot. I am not going to turn down the UPT slot. I have heard dudes saying "get your foot in the door then tell them your going to pilot training, and they will let you come back" My dates for AMS and UPT havent come out yet so im thinkin I have at least 6 months or so to work with lockheed. Anyone been through a similar situation?? I heard something about a reli…

On FoxNews, two Area 51 engineers talked about some of their stories. Great information on this site. https://roadrunnersinternationale.com/

UFB!!! For nearly 30 years, Father Louie Vitale -- a 76-year-old former Air Force navigator turned Franciscan monk and peace activist -- has traveled to the remote deserts of the Southwest to demonstrate against ... well, just about everything involving America's military. He's been thrown in jail for protesting the U.S. nuclear weapons complex, the wars in Iraq and the military's interrogation procedures, to name just a few of his more than 200 arrests. But these days, Vitale (pictured, fourth from left) and his fellow activists have a new target in the mountains and deserts north of Las Vegas: America's fleet of killer drones. "We've been out there in that very de…

Anyone have a good poc to set up a fishing trip at Diego. I wanted to set something up before we get down there.

Get some!

(Being a pilot first, I'm kind of embarrassed to ask this question but...) I have to make a presentation next month at my MAJCOM for a project that I actually believe in and helped get off the ground. This project has awesome potential to save them hundreds of millions a year (not exaggerating for OPR purposes) without just pawning off all of the work and complexity on my fellow aircrew or really even support agencies. This concept is more a combination of a culture shift and integration of commercially available technology. I believe this presentation is the perfect opportunity to make an impression. By doing so, we can avoid months, possibly years of SSS and paperw…

Was hunting for porn on YouTube, and stumbled across this. Couldn't embed the video, so here's the link... Funny shit! Cheers! M2

Posted outside the video thread because some are arguing this T-38 killed a Raptor during a within visual range fight. As with other purported F-22 kills (aka F-18 HUD snaps), there is likely MUCH more to this video than meets the eye. Regardless, it will likely be used as fooder for more nonsensical arguments.

Oh yeah it's that time of year again... what fun times it is to live in Tornado Alley. Had a tornado touch down about 2 miles directly south of my house last night. Typically when the sirens go off we head for the basement. Well we had a bunch of friends over that day/evening and had been drinking since noon... Take a bunch of rowdy people + alcohol+confirmed tornado nearby = bunch of drunks out in the front yard scanning the skies. These pics are from a nearby farm that got hit. No damage to this guy's house but all of his five of his out buildings were destroyed (one was only 40 feet from his home). No deaths were reported thankfully.

Looking for someone with any insight on buying airline tickets... I am looking to buy a 1-way ticket from Venice (or somewhere close) back to the States this Summer, but I'm having trouble finding a decent price. I don't need a round-trip ticket, and when I use the major search engines the price for a 1-way ticket, the prices are usually double what a round-trip ticket costs. Anyone on here figured out a way around this?

From af.mil https://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123147806 Airline offers $1 military fares -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/5/2009 - WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- In honor of National Military Appreciation Month, JetBlue is offering active-duty military personnel $1 fares for domestic, nonstop flights for a limited time. The flights must depart from the two JetBlue cities nearest to the nation's capital: Washington Dulles International Airport in Dulles, Va., and Richmond International Airport in Richmond, Va. The airline also will donate $15,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit organization that honors…

Obama Giving Military Oath To 2 From UA By Carol Ann Alaimo, Arizona Daily Star Yousef Balooshi is starting his military career on top of the world. For an Army officer, it doesn't get much better than being sworn into service by the commander in chief. The ROTC cadet from the University of Arizona is one of two locals to whom President Obama will administer the oath of office during a visit to Tempe tonight. "It's an extreme honor. I never imagined this in my wildest dreams, said Balooshi, 22, who'll graduate from the UA with a degree in history later this week and is being commissioned as a second lieutenant. "It's pretty unbelievable," agreed fellow c…

For any and all you Jayhawks lurking out there I got some Shit Hot Morale/Pen Pocket Patches made: They are going for $3 for one or $5 for 2/both to offset the costs of having to buy 100 of each and supplement my guard Lt income. Feel free to email me at flyinjahawk@gmail.com or PM me and we can exhange contact info. Holler

First two will be there tomorrow. Get ready for the noise fellas. Damn I'm going to miss the beach...(and by beach I mean near an actual ocean)

Not a bad flick. I think the A-10 guys on here will like it. The opening scene shows a pack of 10's destroying a field full of satellites. Pretty epic footage. The story line and some of the action is cheesy, but over all it's a fun one time see cinema. Check it out if you get the chance. -yerfer

The 437 AW here have found the perfect way to avoid birdstrikes... Since installing this on the FREDs, birds avoid contact at all costs! Cheers! M2

This is awesome, however if the Deid ever came under attack I'm sure an E-9 would pull this guy immediately out of the fight for being out of regs... https://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090522/lf_nm_...stan_gates_pink WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday praised an Army soldier in eastern Afghanistan who drew media attention this month after rushing to defend his post from attack while wearing pink boxer shorts and flip-flops. In fact, Gates said he wants to meet the soldier and shake his hand the next time he visits Afghanistan. "Any soldier who goes into battle against the Taliban in pink boxers and flip-flops has a special kind o…

Here's a story on Obama's Memorial Day remarks: Seems the press and the president have gotten Memorial Day confused with Veteran's Day. I thought Memorial Day was to honor those who DIED while serving the country, and Veteran's Day honored those who served. Apparently I was wrong? Seems this speech was designed to suck up to vet groups (and thus increase popularity among a group that particularly doesn't support him)...I guess honoring the dead guys doesn't matter because they don't vote... Was that a cheap shot?

So I was thinking to myself while riding the elevator, wouldn't it be sweet to have an F-16 roller coaster. Basically, the person gets in the cart which is a replica of an F-16 cockpit, they get in and buckle up and there is even a canopy that closes on them... Next, the ride consist of a mock F-16 ride (Of course, what else would it do?). The ride will consist of F-16 maneuvers, from dog fights to vertical climbs and even some upside down action. Could even take it to the next level and have another track unconnected to the riders track, with a fake bandit going around as if you were chasing it in a dog fight. The two carts will get so close that they look like…

I got this ink right after I got back from FIELD TRAINING to symbolize that, as a POC, I'm now part of the WORLD'S GREATEST AIR FORCE. The POWERFUL Asian owl symbolizes the AIRPOWER that my service can unleash upon our enemies, all across the world, the AIR FORCE symbol is self explanatory and CHARLIE - MIKE symbolizes CONTINUE MISSION, because that's what I'm going to do from the cockpit of my F-22, regardless of any obstacle that I may run into. A few individuals have construed that "Charlie - Mike" is an allusion to the two male models who showed me a great night in South Beach last Spring Break. They just don't understand AIR FORCE vocabulary, though, and I'm sure…

Any suggestions? Edit: Wrong part of the forum.
