so can you guys just pack up any kind of liquid that you want in a special container with a really long straw? side question... pertaining to specialty quals, airdrop, etc: Any weight/value added for what you guys are looking for in U-2 candidates? Or any consideration for having fewer flying hours when holding specialty quals?

as the aircraft is flown today, are the control surfaces still so heavy as to require a yoke? or if it was redesigned today would they give it a stick?
-
tell me you all busted out thriller and got it on video
-
nice! looks like a modern take on this guy
-
are guys right now typically sticking with the U-2 for the rest of their careers? are any transferring back to previous MWS's or is that even an option?
-
no love for hawaii? saw you guys at oshkosh a few years back as well
-
for those of you that flew the T-38C in pilot training, how do you like the T-38A? Is there anything you like better about it? side note: shit. I will retile the floor and grow the corn for popping for a chance to fly the U-2.

interesting, i did some looking around and I can't find anywhere how to contribute to the roth TSP yet... am i right in assuming we cannot do this yet?
-
i've never heard of/seen one of these in person, what's so great about them?
-
there's a roth TSP? where is that option under myPay?
-
great. well i'm finishing up round 1 of sere at the moment... I heard the rivetjoint guys had to go thru some extra stuff so I figured the U-2 guys did as well. SERE in January. FUN TIMES.
-
Do U-2 pilots go to a supplemental SERE course when they're hired, assuming they went through "normal" SERE beforehand?
-
/cheer! Looks like it'll still be around in a few years when I'll be qual'd to apply. This is a good day.

we were finalizing the F-22 oriented testing on these at Edwards when I was there in 2009 they're stored internally just like all of the other munitions it can carry

seems to me a swarm of AT-6s (or updated A-10s) makes a lot more sense for marine CAS

The speed limit is 120kts at sea level I believe. Also, I've seen several LSAs sub-40k in decent shape that outperform Cessnas/Pipers. I don't think anyone around here would be stupid enough (or rich enough) to buy a brand new airplane of any kind. I'd also argue that for GA, I don't have a desire to fly IFR or at night 90% of the time. I think the biggest drag involved in buying an LSA is the 2 seat limitation.
-
anyone familiar with owning in the light-sport category? I know the maintenance and inspection fees are dramatically reduced. obviously the planes are smaller, but they can be just as fast, if not faster, than your average Cessna.
-
That's what I figured. As much as the recruiters described it as "take a 38 up as much as you want to," I figured there were some more limitations on it, just wasn't sure how strict they were. Also, what type of flights are the local proficiency flights? Is there a lot of formation involved? Acro?
