Captains cannot be FAIPed. However, take that with a grain of salt. That same reg says this... Nobody has told me anything about what I'll be flying next.

That airplane just needs a tailwheel and it'd be good to go.

I'm just finishing up PIT as a FAIP. FAIPs will fly all the sorties. Proficiency advancing is an option but there is no way they will do it... I've tried... Also, anyone who is a 1st or 2nd Lt is on the hook for FAIPing (even if you have 10 years prior enlisted). Captains are exempt because of the limited MWS time they'd have when they hit there Major's board, or so I hear.

Anyone of Norwegian descent want to make history and fly with me on Leif Erikson Day?

The Boss made this change to get his people to work hard like they are now.

Bah... it can't be that bad. Del Rio's "fine dining" includes a Chilis and Applebees... although we do now have a Rudy's now.

Why do I get this feeling that the Air Force is going to try and fix this problem by requiring a 24 character password?

How many redundant computers does the B-2 have for the flight controls? I would assume that the airplane would be nearly impossible to fly without them. Not saying this is my guess of the cause. I have a different uneducated guess... I'm just curious.

Our MPF actually had a sign they put out when DEERS was operating. Kind of like a Coke Machine Temporarily Out of Order sign but in reverse. "Hey look at that, the program is working! That's different and we should alert people!"

This experiment has different outcomes depending on how you set up the situation. With no friction, the airplane will always take off. But then you have to take into account that with out friction, lift won't be produced by the wings, etc... You can't just say, well, there's no friction here but there is friction here. If the conveyor belt matches the forward speed of the aircraft's fuselage/wing, the airplane will take off with it's wheels spinning two times faster than a normal takeoff. This would maybe blow a tire, maybe not. If the conveyor belt matches the rotational speed of the aircraft's wheels, as soon as the airplane starts to move forward, the wheels will instantly reach an infinite speed. At infinite speed, the wheels overheat and explode instantly and the airplane falls to the belt without wheels. Now because there are no wheels to control the belt speed, the belt stops and the airplane starts to skid down the belt and eventually takes off. Obviously, to do this you'd have to have a very overpowered airplane to overcome the drag of sliding without wheels. So regardless of how you set up the question, in real life, the airplane will always take off. Well, that is if you have a big enough engine and the tire schrapnel flying at an infinite speed doesn't destroy your airplane.

2, and I don't even wear blues. At least, I hope I don't have any reason to soon.

My favorite gladiator is Hellga. The pigtails are a nice touch.

I've got a different theory. http://www.dosgringosrocks.com/audio/DOS_G..._Inch_Penis.m3u

Personally, I like the Thunderbirds more than Blue Angels, Chevy more than Ford, Coke more than Pepsi, Blu-ray more than HD-DVD, and PC more than Mac. Did I miss any?

There are assholes from every commissioning source. Take me for example, I represent ROTC proudly.

I didn't want to offend any of the pointy nose drivers around here. They're sensitive fellows. edit: I ain't never been learned to write good

Holy shit! Is his cranium really that big or is that some kind of trick photography?

Death Valley is <0 MSL though. I think <0 AGL is more impressive.

That depends on how you look at it. http://ejectionsite.com/eunderh2o.htm

Step 1) Discard Mac Step 2) Purchase PC Step 3) Profit I have no real constructive inputs to put here. sorry.

I don't drink and the only problem I ran into was figuring out what kind of alcohol is considered good when buying my solo bottle for my IP.

Maybe flying instrument approaches in a PC sim would help a little if the instruments worked exactly like they do in the real airplane. However, you still don't get the cockpit organization aspect or actually hand spining the dials. Buy the PC sim to mess around and do 50 aileron rolls, but don't use it to practice the break, perch, TP stalls, etc... Like someone else said in this thread, you'll get a million sims in your training where the LSI guys will act like they're trying to teach a monkey how to fly. Also, you can use the UTD's just about when ever you want to. They'll do more for your ground ops than any PC sim will.
