Here's a story relayed to me:. Iranians were sent to the US for pilot training and wore red helmets for identification purposes. One day, a couple instructors grab a couple red helmets and saddle up in a T-38. They launch and return to the T-38 pattern using an Iranian-ish accent. On the first touch and go, the IP in the front seat ducks down so the RSU sees an Iranian student solo in the back seat. The RSU freaks out and queries the "solo" who responds " I will fix.". On the next pass, the IP in the back seat ducks down so the red helmet is now in the front seat. Not sure that practical joke would be appreciated today. BTW, this was at Columbus pre-Ayatollah.

Or landed mistakenly on the taxiway at Balad on NVGs. I remember that tower call when we were about to land #2. Nice job guys, just taxi straight ahead to park. Doh!

No real dog in this fight, but with all of Pakistan's hypocrisy and Intel support to terrorist organizations...them taking a few Ls would not sadden me.

I've NEVER heard the government say Muslims are viewed as "Baddie Brown People"...just the liberals on this forum.

While everyone is watching Yemen and potentially Iran...

Fuck Pakistan. That is all.

Waiting on the social media foreign policy machine to ramp up

You don't have any balls unless you takeoff in the front seat and land via the back.

Indian food is WAY better, and also my favorite. Hence, I'm pulling for India.

Disagree Bif; If the goal is occupying Kashmir, Pakistan for the win.

Evaluators can lose the qual for being dumbasses. like hooks for silly reasons.

Indeed. They definitely offer some great flexibility with colors and designs, but I think people will miss the heritage of traditional patches if we continue with PVC.

When Trump throws out the NFA, GCA and FOPA as being unconstitutional (which they all are!), I will give him full credit for supporting and defending the Constitution! By the way, I would have credited Biden or Obama if they did the same, but neither did!

Trump is a media guy from a previous generation. Hollywood is a glamorous memory full of him on the red carpet and fucking a bunch of wannabe starlets. It's classic Trump, taking something good and pushing it to an extreme that is going to end up sabotaging the entire movement.

The primary purpose the back seat will serve is intel, maintainers, etc. getting FAM flights. Good deal for those guys. For the AD side, the WSO mafia will win and they’ll put two dudes in a jet to get 1/2 the SA and capability…except for the 6.9% of the time crew composition that actually nails it, I’ll concede that does exist every once in a while.

I think Eisenhower would have thrown up in his mouth if he knew how bloated the command structure had become. Bravo.

We had a dude plant one of these in the commanders office. Hilarious.

"Baddie Brown people? " Just stop man...a completely useless comment. Question the strategy all you want...I think we all want to see something solid so we don;t get sucked into another rabbit hole but your comment was classless.

Funny I was an Aero major but philosophy was one of the most interesting classes to me.
