Meh, NEOs are incredibly efficient. The guppy has a horribly fast vref.

Blast from the past. I posted that a year ago

A lot of people are under the misunderstanding that DE&I means diversity, equality and inclusion. It may have originally, but now it means diversity, equity and inclusion. AKA management/leadership forced outcomes no matter the input. Also known as make the slides green.

It still doesn’t have an internal ladder.

It’s because he’s a nav

We cut T-38 slots due to J85 engine underproduction. More toners for all the students.

“Sacrifice” for forever wars in the Middle East

Israel can do what it wants. We shouldn’t be funding it.

https://time.com/6329188/ukraine-volodymyr-zelensky-interview/ Cliffs: Ukraine is being ground down. Zelensky is losing confidence of his military and political teams because he refuses to negotiate. Even with all the weapons in be world, Ukraine has sustained so many losses they won’t be combat effective. But sure let’s keep giving them money to line Ukrainian oligarch pockets.

I understand it is a meme. I would rather Americans have some form of universal basic healthcare.

Israel isn’t a friend to the US. The Israeli government is interested in exploiting the US for their own ends. (To be fair, this is what any country should be do so I don’t blame them.) We should feel no moral obligation to support them. Do a cursory search and you can see the Israelis has their intelligence apparatus targeted towards America https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/12/israel-white-house-spying-devices-1491351#:~:text=The U.S. government concluded within,with knowledge of the matter. https://amp.dw.com/en/israeli-pegasus-spyware-used-to-spy-on-us-officials-reports/a-60015869

Did he have to actually take a test recently?

I understand that. If lateral spacing references are known for your aircraft, that can be briefed and executed.

A circling approach is a visual maneuver under an IFR clearance. There is no need to time.

It’s a white jet semi annual currency requirement

Background of students. There were so many additional sorties that in reality the course was under resourced. Pilots that haven’t hand flown much since pilot training did not do well in a syllabus that was originally primarily designed for 11Fs with a smattering of 11Bs There are now front seat contact (transition) and formation progress checks before rear cockpit flying after in the IQ check. UIPs that can’t hack it are cut before wasting resources.

Yes. The course is now over 6 months which requires a secretarial waiver to be TDY.

C track (non-fighter/faip) ETCA is explicit it’s a PCS.

I think it was an agreement between Beech and the USAF before we had our demo team. Not sure though. We may not have accepted it yet and got it cheaper

That T-6 that Patty flew is at CBM. Talking to the FCF guys there, it always has problems. Apparently it was over-G’d constantly during her demos.

They aren’t timeline obsessed. HAF/A3 has provided an order to produce. Which AETC can’t do anyways because the s-rate for the T-6 and T-38 is in the shitter.

I think the issue is the pilot was not a certified demo pilot and it was ad hoc.

That’s a strawman, there isn’t an active invasion in the US leading to a total decimation of the American male.

Better than loosing everyone in those towns and then slowly losing those towns.
