Are they awarded Air Medals for this?

Slightly off of the recent topic but certianly qualifies for a WTF? discussion.....

Rainman: "Let's see what else is natural...masturbating. I think I should be able to masterbate next to some chick breast feeding her kid in church. It would be natural, for me at least". I'd be careful about that. You wouldn't want to go blind and bolo the next annual flight physical!

BIG "2"; "American" in your demonym, you are not a disadvantaged minority. Unless you are Irish and then you should be able to drink for free.....

The last time I did that, I got shot down twice.....but you could make a few bucks on the blackmarket exchange rate......MPC to Piastra

Agree! No fly off needed...just put them next to each other on the ramp....Super T hands down!

Huge tax returns for illegals. This will make your blood boil! http://www.wthr.com/video? clipld=7054149&topVideoCatNo=103348&autoStart=true Comes up with another story: Need to search site for: 13 Investigates IRS Tax Loophole & Tax Loophole Part 2 to see this incredible story!!

1. Yes, Especially if you are able to go from active duty to the Guard. 2. What cons? All I rember is the good shit....no time to dwell on the bad shit......

Recomendation: What ever you do, keep the records and/or get the information into your military medical records. I used the "Lie to Fly" routine for many years, with the flight doc, until I had to get waivers to keep going....the back thing will cut you out of flying aircraft with ejection seats and situps for the AFPT but in the long run, at the end of the career, it is very important that its all documented and can be illustrated that the physical issues were a direct result of your flying as a military aviator. This will help a lot if you manage to stay for 20 or 20+ and check out with the VA to establish service related disability.

Do the ILS Backcourse...

"One More Roll" May be a good choice: "One night during a bombing raid on Hanoi, CPT Jerry Coffee, USN peeked out of his cell window and watched a flight of four F-105s during their bombing run. As they pulled up, it was obvious lead was badly hit, trailing smoke, he broke from the formation and Jerry watched the damaged bird until it disappeared from site. He presumed the worst, as he lay there in his cell reflecting on the image, he composed a toast to the unfortunate pilot and all the others who had gone before".

I thought that he/she/it was a Capricorn...

Does She Swallow? 1 v Beer

If an Army Major went on a shooting rampage at Ft. Hood...what would the US do? So far not a damn thing and POTUS has never said anything about it being murder.....WTF?

On a slightly different note. What is the deal about previous flight experience, if any? I have a friend that's been told that an FAA private is necessary for Guard UPT true or BS? Thanks

How about this breed? dog (dôg, dg) n. b. A person regarded as contemptible: You stole my watch, you dog. 6. Slang a. A person regarded as unattractive or uninteresting.

Hopefully there will be a fly-off when this goes full circle. Even A-10 Martha would be able to distinguish the superiority of the Super T over the AT-6; sitting side by side on the ramp. But cancelling the entire program would certainly buy a lot of reflective belts which will be needed for FOD walks in 200 vacant A-10 parking spaces.

What's the cost of the President's illegal alien aunt in Mass. per year + the other 12,000,000?

UPDATE: Sierra Nevada Corporation Corrects the Record on U.S. AIR FORCE LIGHT AIR SUPPORT PROGRAM Misinformation and Legal Wrangling Delaying Mission-Critical A-29 Super Tucano for American Warfighters in Afghanistan SPARKS, NV, February 2, 2012 – Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), the winner of the U.S. Air Force Light Air Support (LAS) competition, today issued a point-by-point rebuttal of misinformation being spread by the disqualified contender for the contract. The LAS contract provides aircraft, training and support for the U.S. government’s partner building efforts in Afghanistan and other nations. The aircraft is urgently needed to support aerial reconnaissance and light air operations in Afghanistan, as well as to develop the organic capability needed to complete the United State’s counterinsurgency mission in Afghanistan. On Dec. 22, 2011, the U.S. Air Force awarded the LAS contract to SNC, having earlier disqualified the other contender for the contract, Hawker Beechcraft, as being not in the competitive range based on the finding that “multiple deficiencies and significant weaknesses found in [Hawker Beechcraft’s] proposal make it technically unacceptable and results in unacceptable mission capability risk.” Since that time, Hawker Beechcraft has undertaken a massive misinformation campaign, challenged the integrity of the U.S. Air Force contracting process, questioned the intentions of the Obama Administration, and used litigation to stop work on the contract. “It is essential that the full facts of this situation are presented clearly and transparently to the American public. There is too much at stake,” said Fatih Ozmen, CEO of Sierra Nevada Corporation. “The people who are paying the price of this reckless and irresponsible behavior are the American taxpayer and the American warfighter. Sierra Nevada Corporation and our partners are honored by this award and the opportunity to serve our country as we remain ready to get to work on the LAS contract.” In its Request for Proposal, the Air Force specifically sought a non-developmental, in-production aircraft so that warfighters in-theater could have an advanced solution quickly and so that American taxpayers would not have to pay development costs. The plane proposed by SNC’s competitor is a developmental aircraft that is not in production and has never been used for light air support or any other purpose. In contrast, the aircraft selected by the Air Force and to be provided by SNC, Embraer’s A-29 Super Tucano, is a light air support aircraft that is currently in use with six air forces around the world. This aircraft will be made in America by American workers. More than 88 percent of the dollar value of the A-29 Super Tucano comes from components supplied by American companies or countries that qualify under the Buy America Act. The aircraft will be built in Jacksonville, Florida creating at least 50 new high tech jobs and supporting another 1,200+ jobs across the country. “It’s unfortunate that the truth is being sacrificed for the self interests of Hawker Beechcraft and its owners a Canadian company, Onex, and an investment bank, Goldman Sachs. Hawker Beechcraft is using aggressive media and lobbying tactics to fight the Air Force decision instead of letting the Court decide this issue in due course. These delaying tactics are having the greatest effect on our fellow Americans currently engaged in combat operations. They need the capability that only the A-29 can provide. The delay also is preventing the creation of jobs at a time when there is an urgent need to put Americans to work,” said Taco Gilbert, Ret. USAF Brigadier General, and Vice President of ISR Business Development at SNC. “Unbelievably, this is the second time that Hawker Beechcraft has prevented a light air support aircraft that has been thoroughly evaluated by our military from going forward to support our troops in need. Urgent requests for the A-29 from Afghanistan continue to languish because Hawker cannot provide an acceptable capability, but will not let anyone else provide it either,” Gilbert said. In a separate and unusual action in the midst of a legal proceeding, the USAF issued a fact sheet on the LAS acquisition process and specifically countered claims by Hawker Beechcraft that it has not received information regarding the evaluation of their proposal. The point-by-point rebuttal of the misinformation being spread about the LAS contract is below. It and other information can also be found at www.builtforthemission.com/presskit.php.

What bow?

Hawker is pising in the wind. No comparison between the Super T. Incidently, it will be manufactured in FL. to quell those "Taking jobs away and George Soros connection rumors....

As long and you tell the truth, you'll never have to remember what you've said.... Read the app and respond as honestly and accurately as possible. Having said that read the PIRA law information on the FAA site. The law pertains to Part 121 operators and the requirement for organizations to report pilot background and accident information and to share that information when requested. Part 91 operators are not required to respond. Once you clear the initial hoops and get a face to face with the chief pilot, most operators will require you to sign a release authorizing a complete aviation background check. If you are using official military aviation personnel records they will undoubtedly and curiously inquire about accident/incident experiences. Once again be open and truthful. I've been on all sides of this issue and now, in a pilot hiring capability, I'd rather have a guy that has bent an aircraft and has learned from the experience, if he was faulted for the mishap, than a clean record liar.....the real discriminator in the new guy process is honesty and attitude....good luck with it....
