The B-66/A-3 flew until just about 5 years ago with Raytheon. Was at VNY a few years ago on a T-38 cross country and got them to give us a tour. They had a hangar with about 5 airframes in them. Pretty cool.

Classy.

Well... if Kaepernick is ultimately responsible for the death of Castro because of this, then I'll give him some credit. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3973344/Curse-Kaepernick-Controversial-quarterback-defends-wearing-Fidel-Castro-t-shirt-HOURS-Cuban-leader-s-death-announced.html Maybe Colin can now teach us about Che Guevara's humanitarian brilliance.

Oddly enough, I just read two days ago that ForeFlight has a logbook. Based on how Tyson Weihs is masterfully reinventing everything related to electronic pilot aids, there is no doubt that if ForeFlight's logbook isn't the best, it will be very shortly.

Skip to 1:36 for the flyovers.

Sickening if true. However, I am skeptical of the accuracy of their observations.

I attended Mr Hoover's Memorial at Van Nuys airport yesterday. It was an epic event, attended by much of the aviation illuminati. Very well done. Many speakers, but they all limited their time on the mic to about 2-3 minutes. I was particularly impressed by the flyover: 1st pass was a Sabreliner with two Thunderbirds on each wing, and a Canadian Snowbird in the slot. They were tight. 2nd was F-22 with two F-86s on the wing. 3rd was a four-ship of WWII warbirds, including Ole Yeller. I was proud of the AF for making it happen. Sometimes, they get it right and this was one of those times. Brig Gen Jeannie Leavitt was there to represent. I was surprised I saw no Navy presence. It was a tremendous sendoff to a great man.

Do you run, bike, do adventure races or mountaineer?

Why don't you buy advertisement space on this site? -
Yes... that would be fun to watch. Like this...

I doubt it. He is concerned about his legacy most of all, and a pardon for HRC will not help that legacy.

To all the celebs who said they'd leave America if Trump won... and especially Ruth Bader Ginsberg who said she would go to New Zealand... please keep your promise. I'll gladly take hard working Latino immigrants and well-vetted Syrian Christians to take your place.

I never flew in the 7+G environment. But with 4000 hours in the T-38, and another 2500 hours in the U-2, I have plenty of time with a helmet on my head. In the T-38, that often meant turning to keep the solo student on my wing in sight. Again... not the 7G environment you guys talk about. But doing what I did with a helmet on for 28 years has taken a toll. I'm sure that if you're in the 7-9G environment, you can probably do a lot more damage in a lot less time. My neck issues are significant. If I knew then what I know now, I would have done some things in the cockpit smarter and differently. Bottom line: do what you believe is necessary to be effective in the cockpit and in your mission. And be aware that the short term benefits may have a long term cost. If you feel those costs are worth it, press on. And remember that winning the battle doesn't mean you've won the war.

I sincerely hope OK ANG doesn't take anyone from the former active duty MC-12 squadrons, and that they re-build it. Sure, there were some quality people in the program. Some really good ones, in fact. But the MC-12 culture was horrendous, and better to miss out on getting some good folks than to bring in any of the virus. Good to see they are going to use CSO's on the crew. The active duty should have done that. FYI: I spent a year in the MC-12.

http://boston.cbslocal.com/2016/10/27/nfl-ratings-national-anthem-protests-poll/ At least one poll says ratings are down due to public sentiment about the kneeling. But Im sure the American public will forget about it once Kardashian is in the news again.

Did any of you get the AFPC letter about flying A-29s as a GS-13?

Mil competency add-ons before getting winged

No. While you have passed the instrument check, there are two problems (notwithstanding your lack of hours): 1. You are not a military pilot. You are a student. No wings, not qualified. 2. Having T-6 time does not mean you are T-6 qualified. Having a T-6 Form 8 would show you are qualified. Purely my opinion. Call your FSDO for the answer that matters. Or just wait and get your wings. -
When I was a T-38 PIT IP, I taught a 3 day "Instructor Techniques" class (I think that was the title). It covered some of those same principals, and I was able to incorporate a little more of that type of information during my tenure there. However, a good portion of the course was for going over grade sheets, and learning the specifics of how a gradebook is managed. I didn't feel there was enough basic, overall info on flight instruction. My guess is that course still exists at Randolph, and you can get a copy of the manual.

VMFA187, I seem to recall that the RCP flight controls can be installed/removed quickly. Is that true?

I hear MC-12 experience is a plus.
