Reason #69 on the stupidity of wearing masks…

No! *cries and eats tub of ice cream*

You mean if he was somehow in a position to be ejecting from a military aircraft and someone told me he spouted some pro-vaccine statement just before pulling the handles? Nope, sorry. Still completely implausible.

After my last two interactions on an AD base, I'm not sure why anyone would want to live close enough that might require its' use. Such frustrating and painful experiences! On my last visit, it was a 2 month wait for an appointment (non-medical) and I wasn't even helped until 3 hours after my originally scheduled time. Guard base appreciation time!

I bet if Fauci said it you’d believe it.

No. There is no chance that any fighter pilot went through the verbal diarrhea in the the 6-9 seconds of the mishap. This is not a political statement. They may have very well had side effects from the vaccine, but this rumor is just stupid. There's simply not enough time to say all of that, nor would any real fighter pilot waste the brain bytes whilst crashing and trying not to die. Don't be an idiot. And if you are a professional military aviator, you should know better than to float bullshit rumors and speculate during an active mishap investigation. That's a foul.

Grinder, BTW, is a good shit and tremendous fighter pilot. She would throat punch you and stomp on your dick for adding her photo to this joke.

You said your “friend the Hornet Airboss guy” heard it with his own ears and relayed that to you. That’s your original posts, reading like it’s your statement and your 2nd hand info. Only later are you suddenly “not in the Navy.” You don’t get to now try and represent it as something else, you started a thread for the explicitly toxic purpose of reporting BS tied to a political third rail that is vaccines, and you did it using an event that injured 7 and damn lucky didn’t kill anybody. This is an aviation forum full of professional military aviators who serve a function of vetting the noise out of those misrepresenting themselves or the facts under a color of professional coverage. That kind of nonsense doesn’t stand here. This is not F’ing Reddit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

@bennynovaThank you for your service in the relentless pursuit of truth. I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that the pilot took 69 personal ORM points because of cancel culture but his woke commander made him fly anyway.

Be careful with this. not all airlines are the same. APC posted the Delta "Contract Comparison". Look at the Long-Term disability section. Some airlines, especially SWA, have serious limits that could leave you out on the street. From the SWA section If I had gone to work for SWA I would have been out of the street in 2 years from being diagnosed with cancer. All other are age 65, except maybe Delta, theirs is very confusing whether it's age 65 or 54 months maximum. Regardless TRICARE is nice to have as a backup. Also, if you are going to get cancer, hope you get it before leaving AD. If not, prepare to hear the words "not service connected." Even if 4 others that were stationed in Kabul with you at the same time have the same cancer.

For what it’s worth my PDD is 1 Sept for 1 Nov class, so maybe everyone can calculate it that way unless it’s just a coincidence it’s exactly 60 days out like what was mentioned earlier

It’s a pill!!!

Maybe it's a b*tt plug?

Don’t forget. If you get less than 50% and you are divorced, it’s less that the ex-wife can get of your retirement.

Haven’t we learned the sky-dick drawing lessons yet? Clearly these guys have the proportions all wrong. Advantage: Navy (for obvious reasons).

I don't know what's been more entertaining, this thread or the "ADS-B screen captures" posted on Facebook showing B-52s in the UK... 🤣🤣🤣

This^^^^^! I flew in the worst of times. After 11 yrs AD, hired at 35, retired at 59 when pay was at its lowest. Still the best decision I ever made even with commuting the entire time. It appears that many are making airline choses based on upgrade time. It took me 13 years and it wasn't the end of the world especially now with FO's making in their 2nd year what I made on my last day as a CA at a major. NERD

Nope! I’ll take “dive towards trailing edge of wing” over that! 😂 🍻

Don't be a chickenshit, at least say my name. This forum is not the only place I've heard the story, which is exactly what I said. I have no idea if it is true and we have not heard the entire PLAT tape, we don't know what led up to this. Hopefully it is just a made up story. Someone else sent me that link so I shared it, just another data point to use for your own due diligence. Next time I will only post CDC/DOJ approved information.

No idea, but CNN (aka Russian collusion network) is reporting from anonymous source that Putin himself hacked that jet!

RUMINT is that it was her first !SOLO! and than vax hit her on final! 🤡

It’s incredible that thing just slid down the LA and off the front of the angle without touching anything. Holy shit that deck was full and it could have been an absolute disaster.

Why do you think? At one point there were five large military bases (two of which, Kelly and Brooks AFBs, have since closed) and two large military reservations (Camp Bullis and Camp Stanley) in the San Antonio area, and given the great weather, quality of life, low cost of living and a myriad of things to do close by it's not tough to figure out why it's become a mecca for not only retirees but also transplants from all over the country.

I believe in being fair and giving credit when it is due. Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi is now dead I am proud President Biden had the stones to send our young men and women into harms way to get him. Today we can all celebrate that an evil son of a bitch no longer walks the earth. Murica!

Words words words, don't waste your time, stopped reading your drivel a long time ago.

I posted a RUMOR. It was not my friend, nor am I in the navy. Thread title said RUMOR. it was to get to truth. so I have to say, you need to read better.

Benny is catching a lot of shit right now, and I can understand that. What I can also understand, is the possibility (albeit quite remote) of a fighter pilot coerced into receiving the vaccine to safeguard his income, at great expense to his objecting conscience. If someone was disgruntled enough about receiving the injection, and subsequently had an adverse reaction while flying…I personally don’t see it impossible that he may have uttered words similar to those alleged before the mishap. The simple facts known to us: a DoD F-35 was involved in a mishap on a carrier. Everything beyond is conjecture, and al possibilities CAN exist.
