How does one re-download it if they deleted it?

The app probably hasn’t had an update in long enough that Apple dropped it. They announced the policy a few months back.

V-280 wins FLRAA competition

The new airline thread
I know a guy who put together a package to show MAF training was equivalent to doing the ATP-CTP. He was basically told by big AF to stop his efforts. Besides, you already don’t need an ATP to get hired. Lots of my friends were hired with just the written. All that said though, the cost of an ATP is a very tiny entrance fee to a good job.

KC-46A Info
Because that thing is barely a tanker unlike the 135 or 10. I assume that fatigue would play a part since that’s a lot longer than AMC bubbas are used to operating. But maybe the bunks are super comfy or something?

KC-46A Info
Some Pease dudes just flew a 36-hour super sortie. Makes McConnell’s 24-hour sortie a distant second place. So, how long until these “tanker” guys do a48-hour sortie and destroy a jet? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

KC-46A Info
I’ve never seen that happen to a KC-10. The boom fell off once, I guess, but I heard that was maintenance’s fault anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Not likely which is why they did it in military controlled airspace.
