Glad to see my airline/union assisting UPS/IPA in their time of mourning and assist bringing Captain Diamond home to rest.

To whom it may concern. Will the person at the O-club Friday night who drew dick pics in our flight caps please provide new hats. Sincerely, Col. Harry Balzac & Col. Hugh P. Ness

1. DHS spending $220M of taxpayer money for an ad campaign is bullshit. 2. Steering said funds to your organization is like ADM Burke steering contracts to his future employer. 3. I look forward to the investigation. https://www.propublica.org/article/kristi-noem-dhs-ad-campaign-strategy-group

Sadly, none of this surprises me. The more I learn, the more jaded I get toward our military/political leadership and what kept us in the never ending quagmires since 9/11. This is proof that no one is immune to the government trying to fuck you and make your life a living hell if you piss off the wrong person. It also puts a spotlight on the hypocrisy around the different spanks for different ranks. Never mind the unwillingness of people to do the right thing so as not to upset their careers. Here's hoping the current administration will fix this situation. Funny sidenote on the point they make about being "frozen" in the rank your retired/left the service. Our OG received a call from a FDX guy about a squadron mate who had the audacity to take MLOA during peak. The dude introduced himself as Maj Gen XXX and to our OG's credit, he made a point to let him know that his retired rank didn't mean shit, then prompted told him to go fuck himself, the MLOA was legit.

precisely my point. I grew up 3 hours away from D-town, and it used to be a place you'd go just because you could...much like NYC. NO ONE goes there now unless they have a specific reason. NYC could easily go that way. It would take a couple decades, but I've lived in and visited major cities (well beyond seeing the airport and hotel) that suffered through the awesome-to-aweful transition as the result of socialist mismanagement. Bucharest, Sophia, Tbilisi, Beirut, San Francisco, and specific burbs of the LA basin all stand out as examples.

I wonder if few of these propellers were sent to foreign military sales. Air Force engineer indicted in connection with Marine plane crash that killed 16

Watching POTUS realize that Putin is a menace in real time has been entertaining.

Try five engines, with three different ones on the same jet. Real good friend flew this until RR retired it 2-3 months ago.

The putin simps like bashi are confused because they got played. They thought they were voting for an idea (pro-putin) but now they realize their idol’s hurt feelings and chase for a Nobel prize are way more important.

Engines are numbered left to right... for those unaware like I was at one point. Brabus... In the Viper or F-35, that would be "#1".

I learned in a Supercub that had a 135HP Lycoming...it was a beast and I thought normal ops for a Cub. There is NOTHING like slipping a Cub (or other taildragger), over the tree to a greaser one wheel landing on the grass....best if done at Sunset. I am currently shopping airpark runway options. I looked at a 5280' grass strip on 80 acres two weeks ago. Looking at 361 acres this week.
