HarleyQuinn is in time out. The adults may continue their conversation.

Dude not just an Apache guy (though former now), I was overhead at Frontnac We were useless. And that was a situation where I didn’t have to spend 8 minutes launching an aircraft while the horde closes in around me chucking grenade and small arms fire at my incredibly vulnerable aircraft. Yes despite the fact making fun of SF is fun, they do in fact have a point. Security is produced and maintained at the lowest level and will be made or broken there. Saying “who needs crew serves and other stuff we’ve got Apaches on the flight line we can launch” is something said by idiots. Either maintain and train a security personnel cadre that is equipped to deal with the real world threat (small team synchronized raid style attack not drunk mom in minivan breaching an ECP) which we could find both in COIN or as an asymmetric use in near peer (NK SF forces on OSAN for example) or just kill the mission entirely and pay the Army or somebody else to do it for you. Otherwise you’ve learned nothing that hasn’t been repeatedly demonstrated since the Rat Patrol first took the legs out from under the Luftwaffe in NA with nothing but a couple Lewis Guns and Jeep’s.

What an odd comment to make to an Apache guy. You come across as a weird and ignorant dude. I mean that in a constructive way. Recommend not making every comment about yourself.

I can’t believe a superior intellect like his is having trouble getting promoted.

He's not real. He's not real. Please don't be real.

Big. Dick. Energy.

That’s a different way of writing an article

https://www.barstoolsports.com/chicago/vermont-air-guard-f-16-fighter-pilot-flew-his-jet-to-washington-dc-to-get-some-cheeks-from-an-army-colonel Didnt see this posted. Excellent commentary.

Makes sense, wouldn’t want the gun to explode during the day in your locked case, thus causing what would likely be the largest MASCAL event since Hiroshima. Idiots.

Legend has it that there was a 9 iron, stuffed buffalo, and a snorkel involved.

His mom's chlamydia is still getting revenge on me.

Is PYOB back? The general profile seemed the same. Weird, disjointed posts followed by childlike tantrums and personal threats when proven wrong by others.

The latest Coen brothers movie is out on Netflix. Don't even need to leave the house.

Agreed. He had some interesting tidbits in the PRF conversation, but he's sure an idiot when it comes to employing aircraft.

Just reposting so the conversation can move along from the previous debauchery.

wait, there's a 69th bomb squadron?

Certainly there's no difference between an attack on a convoy in the open, with an easy way to tell friendlies and enemies apart, and an attack inside the wire of aFOB in close proximity to friendlies, friendly buildings, and friendly aircraft. Glad you made it out safely... But there's a huge difference in your situation and what happened at Bastion.

2000 hrs and I've never in all aircraft I've flown heard the technique of "rotating early to ensure the nose is up by rotation speed." It has always been "pull the stick back at rotation speed." I don't blame the guy that much, it sounds like there is a community wide culture/understanding of this is how it's done (at least from reading the AIB). To me the logical fix is refresher on what TOLD items mean, stop this trend of rotating early on purpose, and do not put the gear handle up until FPM/CDM is at least 3+ degrees above horizon line with a positive VVI. If after that you're concerned with a gear overspeed, mitigate via increasing pitch and canceling AB early if required. I think this is a lesson learned that applies to all fighter aircraft. I can't speak for heavies.

The enemy of my friend’s friend’s enemy is my enemy. Or something like that.
