Techsan

Buddy of mine just got his...the resolution of the screen puts my iphone to shame!

Just this year we got modded with TCAS...its awesome!

Has anyone transfered credit from ACSC correspondence to AMU? Seems like if you get your masters in National Security, they will transfer the max amount of credits from ACSC...something like 15 or 18 credits.

He was talking about C-21s.

Pretty sure ADW doesn't. Peterson has AD & COANG...not AFRC.

Heard this several times given both on guard as well as center freq. Immediately following, its funny to hear all the other pilots stepping on each other trying to chime in with their 2 cents. Always good for a laugh!

I'm not sure I'd fly OEF w/o TCAS. I have zero trust in Wizard, Pyramid, or Miser.

Don't forget the obligatory double Karachi to begin each transmission.

My personal fav is when idiots don't pause a few seconds after tuning a new freq to find out if somone had just made a radio call. I love it when I make a radio all requesting for higher and before center/control has a chance to respond, some idiot pipes in "checking in at 350". Side note: I think C-17 gear up landing jokes are funny. Sounds like a few folks need some thicker skin.

Ditto. MNPS manual is a one stop shop for Atlantic crossings. Oceanic Checklist Cruising at .77? Must be the C-5 and C-17s. Real men cruise at .82

Totally agree. My head hurts from reading this. I don't give a flying fuck what order you come in or how you flow. Just don't hit me, each other, or someone else. I also don't mind having the receiver give me a recommendation on which way to turn, how fast to fly, etc. The quicker we get together and you get your gas, the quicker I can get back to eating my hot wings (fresh out the oven), and the quicker I am to getting the RTB call from Wizard.

Big whoop! We have commercial Wi-Fi in our office, so we Facebook daily anyways. I posted a comment on that af.mil story. I wonder if it'll get posted...

I used the USAA app the other day to deposit a check. Crazy that you can take a picture of the check and the money gets put into your account in about 5 seconds.

You've probably already searched there, but try wikipedia. I checked for my squadron, and its a gold mine for info...and since its wikipedia, you know you're getting the best possible information.

Look no further than Baseops.net

Not only did all -10s block out @ the same time, so did the 2 C-17s and 1 C-5.

Give me a fucking break. Everyone else that has flown a night nvg tac approach didn't have problems lowering the gear. A difficult approach does not rationalize the fact that they forgot the most important part of a successful approach/landing...LANDING GEAR--DN.

The computer doesn't care if you land gear up, an engineer does.

They are no longer PTLs...their official name is the FAC (Fitness Assessment Cell). Does anyone know if there are maximum times in between events? I like to knock out my pushups, situps, & run pretty close to each other so that I'm still warmed up. I'm going to pissed if I have to wait a half-hour between shit.

If you can get access (and a CAC reader), SMS will allow you to see all of the flights in/out of places along with the mission remarks. Makes traveling space-a easy! Flew space-a to Hawaii with the fam again this fall with absolutely no problems. If you are AD and travel between Sep-Nov & late-Jan to early May, you shouldn't have many problems most places. We were able to get on every flight we wanted to out of Travis & Hawaii. Traveling during the summer months & holidays is doable, but not quite as easy. ATI cargo flies a DC-8 to/from Travis & Hawaii once a week w/32 seats each time. Comes complete with 2 flight attendants, in-flight movies, hot meals, drinks...ALL FOR FREE! Can't be beat!

Your duty title really does say Pilot? Thats funny, because every duty title I've had starts off with something other than pilot...i.e. EXECUTIVE OFFICER/IAC. I'm not sure what airframe/base you are from, but these days guys get better strats on their OPRs from being a kick ass office workers/training officer/ass licker than being a kick ass instructor. The leadership could give 2 shits if you can take gas from a tanker like a bad ass or land the jet better than Jesus. Just as long as you don't fuck anything up. I obviously can't speak for every community, but in the heavy world, flying is the additional duty for 90% of the pilots. The other 10% are the guys in FTU learning the fly the jet. Every pilot is a lawyer...you have to be when reading your Vol 2 & 3. "The way this reads to me is...."

Just thought I'd post this pic here. Taken last month out here on the left coast...

Since iPhones are just about standard issue these days, I was wondering which are your favorite apps? I'll give you a few of mine: Games: Flight Control Tiger Woods Bug Squash (my kiddos like this one) Harbor Master Blackjack Monopoly Moron Test Flying Stuff: AeroWeather www.aviation.mobi/ (not an app, but a great mobile website for NOTAMS, Approach plates, etc) xWind PerDiemCalc Sports: ESPN ScoreCenter FOX Sports Ski Report Run Keeper (MUCH better than using Nike+) Misc: Directv Pandora USAA Skype Shazam Phanfare Whitenoise iSwap Faces Wikipedia Southwest Airlines

You're an idiot...especially if you were thinking about challenging someone as to why they were shopping in uniform!

Has anyone tried out this new phone from ? The user interface is a little dated, but looks like an awesome phone!
