Standby

Seeing how things were handled with agent orange, and how things are being handled with burn pits plus Havana Syndrome…confidence is at an all time low.

https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104521/c-40bc/The C-40 B/C is based upon the commercial Boeing 737-700 business jet. The body of the C-40 is identical to that of the Boeing 737-700, but has winglets…The basic aircraft has auxiliary fuel tanks, a specialized interior with self-sustainment features and managed passenger communications. I don’t know what 5000NM translates to in 737 time aloft, but I’d guess around 10 hours. Oooof.

I think so. I get the desire for the biggest and baddest. That said, I think it ultimately comes down to the engine redundancy…quads vs ETOPS. If it wasn’t for that, I think the 787 would take the cake based on higher cruise speed with comparable range.

Dreamliner will do just fine.

I don’t need to trust anything. There isn’t a scenario that exists where I drink myself to a .21 BAC and then go drive and kill someone and cause grievous bodily harm to others. I have said my peace, and concede enough said.

I understand what you’re saying, and mostly agree regarding the principles you’re alluding to. That being said: I don’t subscribe to the notion that public defenders should be compelled to represent. I will never be on trial for being 3x over the legal limit and killing innocent people. I don’t see a world where this heinous act is morally defensible…so I don’t hope for the world to come to my defense. I am being somewhat tongue in cheek…but the court could benefit from implementing a time-tested methodology called “instant justice.” They can visit their local fighter squadron for more information.

Fuck the twat who isn’t man enough to accept all that he deserves. He needs to be sent to solitary to serve out the rest of his pathetic life. Also, fuck his pissant defense attorney. I hope that guy is met with misfortune everyday for not having any sense of true justice and morality. I’m all for due process, but GMAFB.

Doesn’t look like they make the Skywalker X-33 anymore, but I’m in if they do.

I’ve heard it several times in my career…”that commander insignia is a pledge pin.” I think we all owe it to the nation to critically analyze and not take orders like a stormtrooper would. At the same time…bucking your CinC isn’t conducive to good order and discipline. Placating the indig clearly isn’t part of this admins agenda. Not sure why she thought it would end well.

Hopefully you loaded up on the 3rd and dumped it last night…if not, oof. I lost a little in a panic sell.

Gotta justify the OA-1K purchase somehow. Also…Afg=world’s largest live fire range.

Competing theories on that accident. Code7700. “Given the general's tendency to over-rotate, the dressing down he gave his aide for nudging the stick the previous day, and his proclamations at the Auger Inn, it appears he rotated to such a high angle the aircraft started stalling right after takeoff and one wing dropped. This gave the appearance of the start of a nose high aileron roll. Then the airplane disappeared from view. The aircraft then reversed its roll as the pilot tried desperately to regain control. The roll reversed again, just then the aircraft reappeared to the witnesses, who perceived the completion of the aileron roll. Professor Mason's conclusion was that the aircraft fell out of the sky in a full stall, hence the contained size of the crash site. The report says the aircraft was "slightly nose high" when it impacted doing 198 knots. That airspeed doesn't make sense given the aircraft's attitude and size of the impact site. I do not believe the accident report. I believe Mason was correct: the general over-rotated, stalled the aircraft, and both pilots died as a result.”

They do it different down south.

Basically as expected. For those without tokens, the CCIR is DAF unclass…should be easy to get the deets.

I left my SIPR phone in the seat back pocket on my last Southwest flight, can you just add me to the Signal group and drop the report there?

You have posted some pretty silly stuff, but for a military aviation forum this is taking the cake today. If you don’t get why, I have nothing more to say

This is the pendulum swinging the other way. 2ish miles of lateral sep and 500’ vertical…non-event. Copy it’s an RA, but the system is predictive/lag tool and as it turns out, a fighter-type jet will trigger extraneous advisories based on speed/maneuver capabilities.

To be fair, the previous admin was never at risk of leaking any secret war plans because none were made.

Southwest patron…enough said.

You’ve never taken off on taxiway zulu at Bagram before?

Any bets on how similar this jet looks to the recently unveiled 6th gen that Chinas been flying?

Go with quals.

Complacency. Like doing high risk combat operations…just because you’ve done it a thousand times prior doesn’t make it any less risky. Your ability to manage the risk may improve, but that doesn’t equate to mitigating aka eliminating.
