Two USAF Airmen soldiers shot dead at Frankfurt airport
German Officials: Suspect's pistol jammed Good thing it jammed. Also good to hear that one of the airmen chased down this asshole & subdued him. Thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Boeing Wins $35B Tanker Contract
Not so true. With my DC-10 type, I'm a shoe in @ airlines such as Biman Bangladesh & World Airways. Just waiting for this new round of VSP to come through. Edited because I guess BB just retired their last 3-holer

Whats a military pattern?
Terrorists. They now know where to pre-position the SA-7s around Del Rio.

Kudos to Southwest Pilot...
Not only does SWA not charge for flight changes, if you change your orignal flight to one that is cheaper, they actually give you that $$ back. Not cash, but credit towards your next flight.

Microsoft Office
I just did this a few weeks ago. I'll try and find the email. $9.95 isn't bad for 2010 Office Pro Plus. I loaded it up on both of my laptops. Now only if Adobe could offer an Adobe Acrobat Pro, Id be set!

Anywhere Maps GPS?
Used one on my last deployment (the toughbook that is)---a little bulky, but you get used to it. (True on many fronts) Very easy to overlay ACO airpace/AR tracks/ROZs/kill boxes, etc. Only sucks when it goes past 0000Z. You lose the GPS sig until you log back in.

His 1st or last name HAS to be Berry! I'm just taking a lucky guess here.

C-17 Down on Elmendorf
I remember hearing the CVR w/animation of the C-21 crash up @ Ellsworth. The converstion in the cockpit sounded like any given local that you'd be on until the mishap. Definitely had its shock value, and definitely made a lasting impression.

Ammo against the shoe clerks!
Well said. This Bus Driver forum looks like a good one to start trolling...whose with me?

C-17 Down on Elmendorf
I know its important to protect those involved & the families, however I don't know why it has to be such a secret to AF pilots. Aren't we supposed to learn from past incidents? Even if that means viewing the animation/audio/PACAF presentation. I just don't get it when someone looks bewildered or asks "Why do you want to see this?". Because I am an AF pilot & want to make sure accidents don't get repeated!

Just like TA listens to Ground....just adds SA.

100 Missions Afghanistan patch
Wearing the 1500 hr AMC patch is just funny. Most guys I know who wear it are doing it as a joke.

Air Force Spending
Nice rant. I like how the AF paid extra to have the standard leather seats ripped out of C-21s for cloth seats so as to prevent the perception that they are spending tax dollars on lush aircraft interiors. Makes perfect sense.

Most epic "I QUIT" ever
Awesome that he had the foresight to grab beer on his way out. Sounds like something in a movie.

USAF Gulfstream V info
Yes, it is possible to get a GV assignment after one MWS tour...not too likely though. I don't imagine its technically a requirement to be an IP, however I'm sure your chances get slimmer if you're not.

Leadership at the 'Deid
Your CC must not be worth a damn---mine would tell his boss that he'd deal with it, proceded by laughing it off with me behind closed doors. Give the Amn a hurt feelings report: hurt feelings report.pdf

Interesting. I hope it isn't true.

24hr lodging "rule"
Was looking for AFI 65-114, and not so much luck on e publishing. Does this thing still exist?
