Yawn... I'm just going to leave this here - http://spectrum.ieee.org/riskfactor/aerospace/military/the-us-air-force-explains-its-billion-ecss-bonfire Hey, you get the airlines, I get the IT. That's the deal.

The world is starting to make sense again. Russians are back to being the bad guys we all knew them to be.

There is a Chipotle, just confirmed by 379 EFSS/FSC. Opened 5 Sept. Only bummer is they don't have the pork carnitas.

GC enjoys sitting on his high horse and acting condescending to a group of people he has a great deal of contempt for. Don't post expecting answers from him. He's not here to provide info.

Invalid at release. The plural of dependopotamus is "Officer Spouse's Club".

Take down the door and walls, eh? Someone please carve "Manchester" into the wall immediately.

No I'm saying our gunners perspective is akin more to being the dude in the back of a high altitude aircraft using a sensor and a bomb than to being in your position of out the window forward ordnance employment. Our pilot puts the aircraft in position for weapons release... That's about it. Those wonderful history channel moments where they talk about the helmet with and pointing where you are looking... That's an old TTP for self defense in a battle position so you can smoke a dude with an RPG that pops out underneath you, that's not how we shoot. Remember outside of a rocket shot the guy driving our aircraft isn't doing any of the weapons release. We differ from the two seat Driver/WSO model in that regard. The guy who is pulling e trigger and driving the fight, isn't looking outside. That means rounds are coming out of that gun or missiles off the rails at the trust that what your gunner sees in the sensor is what he is supposed to be shooting at. And we have done it that way since our inception. Weapons off the rail based on what we see in a sight not what we see outside the glass with our eyes. We shoot heads down because our sensor lends more SA than looking out the window from our perspective of the battle. Despite the fact that it can't see IR pointer/beacon/etc and there is little to no good way to back it up with goggles because FLIR is both our targeting and primary flying NVD. And yes porkchop if you feed your position as the target grid on an artillery call for fire your only hope is that they miss what they are aiming at, because that's where the rounds are going. Indirect fire can't confirm you are or aren't where you say you are any better than a bomber at altitude. People have been killed that way before and will undoubtedly be killed that way again.
