Classic Thread - CSAF congratulates CAP cadet
There is nothing like seeing a 10 year old in BDUs that are 30 sizes too big and trying to keep his so called military image up. Cracks me up. Gotta love the flight suit wearing CAP dudes as well.

Texas Guard
Ralph, you can google any of that and get the info you are looking for. Every one of these questions is pointless on this board. Call the freaking unit and find out if they are having a board or not.

Demo Teams
I sat static all weekend at the Fort Smith Air Show. Saw the T-Chickens put on their first show of the season. The one to see was the new F-15E demo team though. It was awesome! Almost as good as the people watching in northern Arkansas. Family trees look like telephone poles there. The A-10, F-4 and F-18F did great as well.

131 FW to become 131 BW
I don't know anything about B-2s or F-15s but I will say that I see black T-38s with WM on the tail here at Little Rock quite often. As I understand it, the T-38s are at Whiteman because the B-2 pilots don't get enough time in the B-2 so they fly the T-38 for currency. If that is the case, how is adding a B-2 Guard unit going to help knowing we aren't buying anymore billion dollar B-2s?

Those ringing things are called calculators on the flight line here at Little Rock.

Airliner Intercepts
Been to both...and that is true.

Airliner Intercepts
Thanks Robes. I thought it was because of the tourists.

Airliner Intercepts
Yes scoobs they are there to intercept all the airliners and keep the tourists out of Iceland.

Class patches
Try something based on the Dirty Sanchez or the Rusty Fish Hook. I bet AETC will love those.

Along the lines of Hugh Jass there is Hugh Janus. Pretty sick but funny.

Full time ANG?
You can't pass 6th grade until you use simple grammar correctly. Have your parents check your posts before you add them to the forum.

Full time ANG?
I am real curious what she said. I wish I would have checked this site while on the road this weekend. Scoobs, even a non-educated, low-life, no real aviation job having loadmaster like myself can spot a complete tool. Thanks for all the laughs.

Full time ANG?
That was tubular at your expense moron.

Practical Jokes / Pranks
It is always fun to pass a puke bag full of pea soup through the back of a 130 full of paratroopers. Of course when it gets to the loadmaster in the very back of the plane he digs right in and eats every last drop. On a nice hot low level route these guys end up puking into their helmets and down their shirts.

What do you think?
Check with scoobs or futureaf.

Anyone been to Aviano?
Aviano sucks. You should try to get that assignment changed to Pope or Minot.

O-5,O-6?
Do you tie the rag on your head on the right side or left side?

Fighters or Heavies
If you are usually the designated driver you should fly C-130s. The worst part about trips is finding someone to drive!

When you are truly not guilty of a speeding charge?
It doesn't matter to the radar what size tires you've got on that jeep or what gears you've got. And it is a total myth about radar calibrations and requests to see printouts and such. Call the prosecutor and tell them the Air Force situation and the fact that you live in KC.

When you are truly not guilty of a speeding charge?
A police buddy of mine says call the prosecutor. Maybe they will work with you.

Shooter and pilot
A wise man once said, "You can do anything you want, but not everything you want." I know that is why you are on this forum. The point is both of the careers you are looking at have pros and cons. Either way you get the brotherhood and you get to serve the country. My advice would be to join the Guard or Reserves and fly airplanes. Then find a job as a police officer, federal agent or air marshall. There are reserve jobs at Herbie. You could fly Talons part-time.

Ellsowrth AFB Stays Open
The news is reporting here in Little Rock that Ft. Smith is to stay open but get A-10s and lose the F-16s. Don't know how accurate that is but they have quotes from our senator about it.
