Squadron Bar

A very crusty old fighter pilot recently sent me an email in which he espoused the use of several of the "eight great lies". The five were: 1) "I'll respect you in the morning" 2) "I'll only put the head in" 3) "I promise I won't come in your mouth" 4) "Parts plus two hours" 5) "I'm not the regular crew chief" So, who can say what the missing three are? And do you have any of your own to contribute? I had heard "the cheque's in the post" was one, but I can't be sure... Ideas?

I didn't bother searching the forum before making this thread because I'm pretty positive it hasn't been discussed on here before. Here is a hypothetical for the forum. Lets say you were bored and happened to be browsing an adult website or two in your spare time and came across(sts) a picture that was of a friend of yours. And in this picture your friend is wearing her cheerleading outfit from college and the picture is clearly lifted from an Athletic Association archive or something similar. Sadly said picture does not link to any actual videos or images of the person in question but that is no surprise because, in theory, knowing this girl you would know that such…

So I walk into a chow hall today to grab some lunch and during checkout lady tells me - "Since you're here on TDY, you can't eat lunch here anymore...but breakfast and dinner is OK." What the gayness is this? This chow hall gets 5 people max in a hour and now they're going to turn down a cash paying costumer..... Did anyone experience this silliness before? I'm at Maxwell right now....

For the last couple years I've been a disciple of Maker's and all of its greatness. When doing a little research today I found that Maker's produces a 101 proof Bourbon and packages it in a gold-tipped bottle. Supposedly they still make it but it is no longer sold in the US, but can be found in Japan. So has anyone seen this stuff anywhere and more importantly, how much would it cost for you to ship me a bottle or two?

The biz jet community and the car makers especially are getting beat up pretty good about their use of corporate jets. Maybe if you are getting Gov't money, you shouldn't be using too many jets. However, Congress needs to take a close look at themselves. More than one person in the civilian chain has no problem requesting VIP acft to transport themselves around.

So I guess some detainees are trying to sue citing they have been permanently traumatized by listening to Rage Against The Machine, NIN, etc. Video here: CNN. Wow...just wow.

I don't know if anyone else has seen these, but they are incredible. They were taken mostly in 1942, before the days of auto focus and built in light meters, by a very talented photog . The quality of the Kodachrome transparencies is so good that it's hard to believe these images are almost 70 years old. Here's the Gallery And here's a couple of tasters:

Hey folks. I am a regular poster on here, but I am hiding my identity (though the moderators could figure it out...please dont!) to keep those who would seek to get dirt on me from doing it! Oh ya, they are out there. Anyway, long story short, I am exploring a run for Congress...I am a guard pilot and can actually do that! I wanted to tell you all, that if I am elected (its a 2010 race) I fully plan to sit down with the CSAF and discuss much of what we have talked about here...as a Congressman. Its still a ways off, but just wanted to let you all know that. Im not your typical politician...though inheriting 50% of the country as an enemy isnt my idea of awesom…

I don't like where this is going. Next they want to control the check book and have an never ending list of honey do's. https://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,465844,00.html https://www.projectaiko.com/

Thought I'd share one of the more absurd e-mails to come out of Laughlin... A couple of my favorite replies I saw attached to this e-mail chain: Don't get me wrong -- I understand that UPT requires a certain amount of... decorum, that you might not see in the operational Air Force. But this is so stupid it's almost humorous. Talk about a gross overreaction. Someone needs to get out of AETC for a while.

Love 'em or hate 'em; but you can't deny that my Gators emerged victorious in a tough battle against 'Bama! I'll be honest and say I'm glad that's over with! I was sweating Percy Harvin not playing, and the Crimson Tide is one helluva team! There is no doubt why they were ranked #1...until now! Cheers! M2

Last night while atop a 5 story building over looking downtown Wilmington, NC, I was outside holding the lady (because its December and its cold as fu(king Alaska...) We were checking out the view and looking at the stars... I know... Now...DT Wilmington is about 10 miles from the airport, so there is lots of traffic that fly right over, but ILM is class D and the tower closes at 11. this was 1:52 a.m. we're looking up an from the NW to SE fast as hell was a triangular uh...thing...with an orange glow on each corner. as it passed over, it disappeared. No sound at all. Yes. I had been drinking. So had she, but that was a sobering experience for sure. NOTE: I hav…

I had stated in a previous topic that I am relocating to the DFW area. Most of you guys on here have been to quite a few places, so I was hoping for some drops on good places to check out to live (throw in some good boobie tassle locations as well if you dont mind) Im looking to stay as close as I can to the Carswell JRB as I am going to hangin around the 457th on a regular basis. DFW Good place to be? yes? no? I'd like to know what to expect besides horrible traffic and lots of (insert explicitive here) longhorn fans..... Thanks Gents Cheers -summers

An early trip to the 72 virgins, probably saved us some ordinance. https://www.break.com/index/arabs-tossed-ou...ipping-suv.html

I know what I am going to do but am just curious to see what all of you would do in this situation...Got picked up off the street for a guard viper pilot slot and just found out my OTS recruiter rolled over an FY08 OTS Pilot slot application to the just released 0901 OTS Pilot Board. Curious to see what those of you on AD, in the guard, in ROTC/OTS, on casual etc would do in this situation. Nothing like having great options though it is a tough choice and kind of begs the question as to which is the better gig in today's world...guard or AD. Opinions wanted...talk it up

Sounds like the pirates have quite a successful business going! Any thoughts on whether or not we'll get involved? On the bright side... at least we don't have to send them as much foreign aid now!

On the current "I only want to be a pilot" thread, there are a couple of dudes with four generations of military flying. One of the things that adds to the growing divide between the military and the general civilian population is a lack of familiarity with the military. Related to that is the anecdotal evidence of sons/daughters of military dudes following in those footsteps. So my question (I'd post a poll if I could figure it out) is how many generations of military flying do you have? If you are the first, what fired you up to pursue your vocation (Doesn't have to be the guy/gal driving, anybody who straps in would be welcome). If a succeeding generation, w…

How common is it for squadrons to have Friday patches? Is this a thing of the past, or is the "tradition" carried on still today? Our sq currently does not have anything of the sort, but I'd like to get something started. I know it's not supposed to be "official", so how does one go about "unofficially" getting the ball rolling on such a visible issue? Anyone ever faced the same issues? Does your sq have a friday patch? If so, is it recognized by leadership? Do you wear it out of the sq, off base, etc.? Many thanks!

https://www.whalepower.com/drupal/?q=node/2 Thought you pilot-engineers would find this interesting. This company is looking mostly at applications for turbines, but if what they claim is true (less drag, greater lift, drastically increased stall angle) it could have some pretty interesting application to aircraft. Thursday, March 06, 2008 Whale-Inspired Wind Turbines Mimicking the bumps on humpback-whale fins could lead to more efficient wind turbines. By Tyler Hamilton Marine scientists have long suspected that humpback whales' incredible agility comes from the bumps on the leading edges of their flippers. Now Harvard University researchers hav…

I duno if any of you all have seen the newest commercial for Gutiar Hero world tour or not. But here is it in all of Hedi's goodness. edit - video link fixed.
