  1. If you're looking for a reputable flight school to finish your ATP practical, VSL Aviation has a unique solution. We are a veteran-owned and operated flight school in central Arkansas and have put together an ATP roadshow package. If you have at least four individuals needing the ATP practical at your base, we will come to you. Bringing our military-trained instructors, two well-equipped Beechcraft Travel Airs, and a designated pilot examiner, we can take care of the final step of your ATP rating at your home base. $4,100 package includes: • Ground training covering aircraft systems and Airman Certification Standards • Aircraft rental and fuel • Flight training • Military Competency admin services • FAA Practical Test (checkride) All of these services will be made available at the nearest civilian or joint-use airport, eliminating the need for you to travel. In many cases, scheduling can be tailored to your needs to limit the amount of leave you need to take to complete the training. If you're interested in setting up a free consult, please get in touch. I would be happy to answer any of your questions and can help get you scheduled. Cheers, Seth Lake 479-422-3940 Owner, VSL Aviation seth@vsl.aero http://vsl.aero/atp.html
  2. If your near LR I can get it done for you. We have MIL friendly DPEs and reasonable rental rates. I also understand where you're coming from as a military IP.
  3. Details here. Piper Seneca II and Cessna 310 available. Both $350/hr wet. Both at North Little Rock. Both with off duty C-130 instructors. 100% pass rate.
  4. Wasn't there a C-17 or C-130 a few years back in OEF that mistakenly landed at Khost?
  5. Rest in peace Anthony and Nicole. Godspeed.
  6. Submitted this as the new "Please wash your hands" sign in all the DFACs over here.
  7. "WE": By Charles A Lindbergh. Just finished it and was amazed by Lindbergh's personal story. Barnstorming, parachuting, wing walking, Early mail carrier, and the details of being an air cadet in the 1920s. Doesn't go into too much detail of the famous flight but focuses on his life story.
  8. Anybody know the guy who bombed the chopper?
  9. Truly Great American. Godspeed Mr. Harvey.
  10. Whatever you do, don't live on base. Privatized housing sucks here more than usual. HerkDude made a good point, with 35 you will get to see more airfields/course rules and deal with less traffic. Personally, I can't think of anything that would make 35 worse than 31 so get here early and see if its available. Either way corpus is the way to go.
  11. No where in my post did I say Herk crewdogs work less. I said while at Corpus I am working less than I ever will again. Implying Corpus training is easier than anything I will ever do in the Herk.
  12. Hey man, keep quiet. Corpus is the best kept secret in the Air Force. If Big Blue ever finds out what a good deal this is they'll have to find some way to gay it up. Back to the subject: I did my casual with the 58th so I've seen, first hand, what the 17 can do, but, instead of waiting a couple of years as an Airland Copilot to do Airdrop, LL, assault, etc. I opted to go hercs and get to do all that from the get go. Not to mention, while my UPT brethren are sweating formal release, standup, EPQs, shotgun, checkflight, and reflective belts at Vance, I'm chillin' out with the Navy working less than I ever will again. Two points for the Herk.
  13. This website should give you some ideas: UPT Patches.
  14. It's too good to be true. Launch the Marines with a HOT EAGLE, recover them with a WET EAGLE or visa versa. Even better, combine the two technologies to create a HOT WET EAGLE. The new system could be called "Amphibious Submersible Space System for Flying Underwater Command and Control" or ASSSFUC. ASSSFUC combined with the new APESHIT system would allow unparalleled global force projection. The future of warfare: HOT WET EAGLE APESHIT ASSFUC.
  15. Had to post it right during lunch, seriously
  16. Found the following site while surfing tonight and was somewhat shocked at the details contained in the article, specifically the detailed information on the type/location of all the countermeasures. What do you guys think? Shouldn't Big Blue be more concerned about Op Sec, or am I just naive and need to STFU? Website Pedaler
  17. Let your flt cc know early. My buddy got a slick out of T-1s a couple of months ago. He worked hard, did well and his commander got a herc for him. Don't know about AFSOC birds though. Generally, from what I've heard, once you're in the community it’s easy to go to the dark side. All that being said, bikerdood is right, AD dudes seldom/never get a 130 in the drop. The one VFR was referring to here at Vance, and most all the other ones, are guard. What class are you in by the way?
  18. Any current herc drivers out there care to give me the ops tempo yall have experinced in the past couple years? What seems to be the trend? 4 on 4 off still? I'm about 44 days, 1 hour, 50 minutes from track select and T-44s are high on the wish list. Thanks
