FIFY

Nope, I didn't, once I saw the pics all reading ceased.

A shot up B-17 gets escorted by a German to the coast and they meet years later. The article was a good read, and I suspect the book would be too. https://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/wings_of_an_angel_m7W8NXNsFsgsqcf5YKPGzO/1

Col (ret) Ralph Parr flew west on 7 Dec 2012...he flew 5 combat tours in four different aircraft (P-38, F-80, F-86, F-4) spanning 3 wars (WW II, Korea, and Vietnam), was a double ace and when he retired had flown over 6,000 hours in fighter aircraft and earned more than 60 decorations, including the Distinguished Service Cross, Air Force Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star, 10 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and 41 Air Medals. The River Rat Pack in San Antonio, as well as the O Club at Randolph are named in his honor. Nickel on the grass to this FIGHTER PILOT Warrior!!! https://www.af.mil/information/heritage/spotlight.asp?id=123161009 Cheers, Cap-10

How close to the end of the internet do you have to be to find shit like that?

The butter face ruined it for me.

For high powered, precision calculations Memory function prefered $0.99 at the BX For 'old school' navigation fix-to-fix techniques $2 for a 6 pack at the BX

Thought the E6B was considered a "Computer"? Thats what I was told back when I got my private but I could never actually confirm it because I couldnt find the power cord.

At least nobody has gotten offended yet by our history of killing bad people and breaking their stuff.

We were issued a metal whiz wheel, along with our Casio G Shock & Randolph Aviators. I used mine for my Nav check in T-1s, and for doing a fix to fix. But I guess students now use PFPS for their form 70s & fix to fixes aren't taught anymore.

You will be issued one and will have (probably) have to show some basic proficiency with it during UPT when making a fuel log and calculating turn points. Don't buy one unless you really want to.

Can't speak for Pensacola, but all Randolph-trained navs know how to use one, and B-52 navs still use it routinely. Ours is an MB4, though, not an E6B. Can't speak to the exact differences.

Wow, a Japanese girl with a machine gun tailbone that pops out and kills people when she becomes bashful. How did this not receive an Academy Award?

It's more efficient to spread chemtrails with a 3-ship.

The only problem with this is how many so called 'merican's will look at that and swear it's one of ours.

Must have been a really good conversation...

It's good to see that some are not content with the minimum...

I cant wait.

Sure there is: mosey on down to clothing sales and get yourself an AFRC patch for your bag. Works like a charm.
