  1. You do recall there was this thing call "sequestration" last year, right?
  2. Are any of you flying in there in a military aircraft for static display?
  3. Tipping the balance of power in the Middle East? http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2015/04/russian-weapon-could-tip-balance-middle-east/110533/?oref=d-channelriver
  4. A great rebuttal to LT Granville's poorly written letter. http://www.askskipper.com/
  5. For a brief time around 2004, this was the plan being strongly considered by AETC HQ.
  6. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/04/04/bond-between-strangers-vietnam-pow-bracelet-to-unite-pair-after-decades/ I still relish the one I wear.
  7. Steve, Didn't the early prototypes have Douglas seats? I doubt those were M-Bs.
  8. If this is implemented, will deaf people be allowed to jog on base wearing headphones?
  9. I've known a few guys that successfully did the crossflow. But I'm guessing I'm missing your point. I applied to the crossflow but lost out to a B-52 guy. He went to Strike Eagles, and did quite well.
  10. A cool story. http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/segments/117011
  11. I believe your plan is pretty solid. Now, you just need to execute it.
  12. The plot thickens: http://www.defensenews.com/story/breaking-news/2015/03/26/general-dynamics-withdraws-tx-t100-prime-cotnractor/70510320/
  13. That's because ACC didn't exist back then.
  14. Like this case, when Boots Jones was shot down in his Tomcat? And PJ showed up in his Hog? And PJ was awarded the Air Force Cross? http://www.nytimes.com/1991/01/22/world/war-in-the-gulf-rescue-navy-pilot-is-plucked-from-iraqi-desert.html
  15. Intereting look at the world of deserters... http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2015/02/american-military-deserters-canada.html
  16. I watched a relative join the Guard recently off the street, and was NOT impressed. Way worse than AD. UAL
  17. I commuted from Rocklin to Beale for 13 years. Now that the bypass is built, it is not too bad. With a hands-free device and/or podcasts, you can be productive during that time. There's a reason the houses cost more in Rocklin: it's a great town. http://www.kcra.com/news/rocklin-named-best-ca-city-for-young-families/30574384 Rocklin High School was ranked the #1 school in the greater Sacramento area. And while you don't have kids, you should understand that it reflects significantly on the town. Low crime, white collar. Lincoln will save you 5-15 minutes on your commute, depending which part of Lincoln. If you have an airplane or like to skydive, Lincoln Airport has houses near it, and they have easy access to the Highway 65 bypass.
  18. Newly released pic of him being carried off from the wreckage. It appears he froze up.
  19. Any word on how Chewy is doing? BTW... no post-impact fire... despite some significant damage to the nose.
  20. Beale has tried for over 15 years, at the grassroots level, to get a Guard/Reserve component for the U-2. We've shown a number of ideas to make it work, but leadership will not push it forward.
  21. He was a legend. http://www.startribune.com/nation/291202741.html
