The telltale feature that it's an AIM-7 and not an AMRAAM (aside from the size of the front fins) is the wave guide on the side of the body. Looks like a little cable tunnel running up the side of the missile body from the tail end.
I still say AMRAMM (a or b with big fins). The may appear bigger from the front, but I think that's perspective. The "wave guide" only goes up to just in front of the front fins ... like an AMRAAM. An AIM-7 waveguide goes damn near to the seeker. Look closely at the art, there is a stripe in front of the "waveguide" ... but that ain't an AIM-7.

AIM-7...but who's counting.
Think so ..?? I think the perspective just makes it look wider. Can we get a ruling?

"This is a contract. I don't like the way his property looks. This clown gets to do what he wants, and I'm as mad as hell ..."
Can someone please find this douchenozzle's email or mailing address!
I think Chick Edwards needs to understand the errors of his ways ... and the internet geniuses around here need a project.

No clue, but those are impressive. The third one's the best.
Also, I don't seem to recall the Nazi's having flying horses, but I wasn't alive then, so what the hell do I know?
Hogs and AMRAAMs ... thats ... um ... creative I guess.

Don't forget ze Ghermans mit der numerous Tornadoes.
Might be able to see some neat stuff up close there as well.
I thought ze Germans had split from Hollow-man!? Last I was there (diggety-aught-5 ... with an onion on my belt, which was the fashion at the time) they were packing up.

So I'm gonna be goin to the fuge in the not so distant future for t-38s at holloman. I've heard the -117 pilots used to be pretty cool as far as showin you around the jets and whatever else once you're done with the fuge. Is there anything like this still goin on out there now with the -22s? Just wonderin if there's anything really cool we can do while we're out there besides getting our faces mushed in, in the fuge and besides stayin at the camino....
If the Fuge isn't going to crush your world ... then volunteer to go first. Get it done and overwith and then split. Drive back to El Paso, get a hotel there near the airport. Cab it into Juarez and enjoy a lovely evening of cultural enlightenment.
Just don't try to walk out of Juarez ... it's a bad idea ... trust me.

Gents --
I'm stuck at Dyess for the weekend with a broken jet ... I couldn't quite make it to NOLA.
The plan right now is to drive to Austin. Any recommendations? Places to stay? Places to drink?

It was 0800 Central Time (0900 EST) and I got a phone call from my mother in law. I was still sleeping (we were flying nights at the time, so I got home late and was sleeping in late before going to work again around noon).
Mom in law said a plane had hit a buidling in NY....flipped the TV on expecting to see poor visibility and a Cessna tail sticking out the side.
As I looked at the clear blue sky on the TV screen, I remember thinking to myself how anyone could not have seen that giant building filling up their windscreen. Just as I finsihed that thought, I watch the UAL 175 strike the South Tower, then reports of the Pentagon hit.
What the hell was going on?
Squadron initiates a recall...don't come to work....take your names off the outside of the house....THREATCON DELTA.
Sad day indeed.
To the 2,974 lost on that day...RIP!

Just down the street, doing the exact same thing.

Regardless of where you decide to register your vehicles, I've found it best to put the Title in the name of the Active Duty Military person ONLY. It makes life a lot easier since the spouse may or may not enjoy the same benefits (depending on the state). As long as you don't get divorced it will work out fine.

Didn't your momma tell you not to put plastic bags on your head?

Two Mk-82's....watch out!
(Couldn't pass that up)Yeah but at least I don't have some knucklehead wasting oxygen in the back seat and sucking the SA out of the cockpit (no STS required) ....

Because all intel folks would know what that term means.
3-1 is a good place to start for decoding lyrics you may not understand.
Otherwise, just pick a good whiskey and enjoy the tunes.

Start your drinking at ELLIS ISLAND. It's in a shithole little casino behind Bally's, but they have their own brewery and serve good beer CHEAP. Don't gamble there.

There's a bit of a dichotomy. Short stocky smoking bacon eating fat kids can usually handle the instantaneous G's better. But for sustained G's the athletic types are able to maintain better. The genetic oddity of a short stocky bacon eating smoking marathon runner does really well ... but there aren't too many of those around. A lot of the G-Cap studs at Luke are skinny kids.
For us anerobic types, there's always 100% O2 and pressure breathing.

Well, great dollars have airplanes, aviation, and jets on them. After all, that's what it's all about. Just ask the bouncer at the local titty bar whether he'd rather be there,... or flying jets.
Dollars have porn, period.
It's tradition.
It doesn't have to be covered in snatch or un-inspiring ... but there has to be some porn somewhere.
-
Good dollars have PORN. YOu don't have to make it obvious ... sammich it dollar, porn, dollar. Obviously temper that with some knowledge of the IP.
(leans back in old man rocking chair)
There will be many occasions through your LPA career where the "management" will tell you absolutely no porn/booze/dancing girls/shenanigans/fun/etc. It's up to you to decide when it's only mildly inappropriate (do it) versus a bad idea (do it) versus taboo (do it) versus the beginnings of an international incident (do it). You'll only be an LT once ... enjoy it.
-
Bottom line: Nobody is better than the other, we're all in the same AF and we're all after the same mission to fly jets and kill bad guys.
I disagree ... There are people better than you. There are people better than me. There is stratification. Some people can't, in fact, cut it. We are not all warriors. This is not a child's tee-ball game where they don't keep score and everyone gets a trophy at the end.

How is the ACSC-DL master's program? I heard it's a ton of work. What's the real poop and is there gouge?
Well, there's good and there's bad ... but overall I like it. To be clear, we're talking about the correspondence, get a masters and ACSC program. There are 11 or 12 classes to take. Each one is 8 weeks long. You can double up (or more) and take several classes at the same time after you've shown your ability to succeed in the first 3 or 4 classes. Each class usually has a forum style discussion question every week and an 1800 word (6-8 page) essay at the end.
The Bad:
It's long. You can't bear down and knock it out in 3-4 weeks like ACSC correspondence. It will take at least 14 months or so.
There's no Gouge ... and there won't be any (see the good)
It's a constant, slow level of involvement. You can't push for a week and then coast for a month like ACSC correspondence.
The Good:
There are no tests!
It's a constant, slow level of involvement. You don't have to lock yourself away for a weekend to prep for a test.
2 birds with one stone. Sure it's a useless, square filling master's degree. But so is Embry-Ridiculous. And it's not that much more work than regular ACSC correspondence it's just spread out. And it takes less time overall than doing both seperately.
There is a lot of "opinion" and "sociological" and "soft-science" type questions and essays ... so there's no right or wrong answer.
Operational experience is highly desired and rewarded in the discussions and essays .. you can be a flying retard and still score big points by relating things to your experience in the sand box.
Grading is generally fairly generous. There is a lot of writing, but it can be accomplished fairly formulaicly (is that a word?) and you can write to an undergrad type level and do fine. That's for essays ... forum style discussion questions are much more informal.
90+% of the course material is downloadable PDF files. So if you don't really want to read everything, you can search the contents of the course material and easily find references for nearly any point or stance you want to take in your essays, discussions, etc.
You actually learn something. You're not cramming for a singular exam.
If you have more questions ... ask!

Maybe I'm retarded, but that never really worked for me. I always hold the button down, but damn it'll feel good to be a Gangsta w/ my arms on the Viper's canopy rails! (I guess I owe Fury royalties or something for that line)
Well that's how I roll ... but you really have to get the bandana (blue ONLY) and hairnet showing under the hemmet for full effect.
YMMV

F-16: The NWS button is an on/off toggle on the stick (and used for many other things)
NWS off: No NWS (duh), front wheel castors and you have differential braking. Not usually used.
NWS On: Rudders coupled to nose wheel, good steering as you can pretty much pivot on a main.
NWS+Differential braking: Bad idea, can roll the rubber (tire) off the nose gear and tends to chew things up ... so slow down, then turn.

Or you could go large, pony up an extra couple of hundred each, buy a class bus and party like rock stars. You would, of course, have to paint it flat black with flames.
Just like this only shorter:

I was in 4th grade...remember it like it was yesterday.....just like 9-11, etc.
BTW, I don't think it would be possible for anyone to survive that - probably incinerated w/ the shuttle (at least I hope so).
Talk to your safety shop guys to get the report from safety school. IIRC, a few of the astronauts actually drowned.
