  1. What has happened to this place. I think we need to increase the baseops.net moroncon to charlie. They are some real gems around here in the past week.
  2. Wow. Tool much? I like to have a change of command everytime I am the A code on a flight or mission commander. I make sure I do it in front of the crew and formation so everyone knows. After all it's a symbolic tradition....
  3. Okay- for everyone's education: B-1s are at the Deid to blow up C-130s and provide a firework show for the flightline guys.
  4. This just proves that we made the right decision to cancel the F-22. [/sarcasm]
  5. Not that there's anything wrong with that....
  6. Yeah, I haven't been to the Died since 05. So I'm not really a minority, I'm just absent.
  7. Discuss- Chinese Spies May Have Put Chips in US Planes
  8. Are these GPT controllers or BIX controllers? GPT guys are usually pretty good during "heavy traffic," BIX on the other hand... on more than one occassion, I've had a three-way conversation- Hobby, Teal, and Fame and then "told" the BIX controller what we're doing. If it's not on the script, those guys have a hard time.
  9. True. All good points. I was going for the double entendre, apparently failed. When I said "always follow the box," I wasn't necessarily talking about aircraft equipment. cheers.
  10. Bendy- I have a hard time believing that you a calling someone out for a "poorly put" point. I always have to read your posts 3 or 10 times to even come close to understanding your meaning and then I've got a 50-50 shot at comprehension. All I’m saying is pot-kettle or glass houses and stones, whichever fits here.

    Gun Talk

    Good read. Gun Sales
  12. Follow the RA- So there I was….flying along around 3k IFR controlled. I get an RA for a climb, I see no traffic. I start the climb and I see traffic above, now I get an RA to maintain vertical speed, prompting a descent. I think TCAS is out to lunch, but I follow the new RA to descend, and now I get and RA to climb again. Now, I’m nearly certain my TCAS is out to lunch, but I follow it anyway. Once the RAs cease, we talk to ATC to see what’s going on. I turns out 3 T-34’s not talking to anyone split around me, causing the multiple RA’s. I only saw one. A rule to live by- “follow the box.”
  13. Essentially, isn't that what the world has done? Except now those fu(kers have boats.
  14. I rode a POS in college, that way, I didn't care what happened to it. However, in the 5+ glorious years on the best campus in the south, nothing happened to it. Probably because the drunk college kids felt sorry for the owner?
  15. [golf clap/] Well played. [/golf clap]
  16. Let's all celebrate the 1st French military victory!!!! Go Frogs!!!! French Warship Captures Pirates
  17. Not to mention the rank hippie B. O. or patchouli oil stench. Too crunchy and stinky.
  18. I'd like Onstar on my next plane.
  19. $160 bucks on a couple of dates? In college? Dude, you're doing it wrong. I bet I didn't spend that much on 5 girls, let alone 5 dates. There were always free things to do, free movies, Fraternity parties. A bottle of Seagrams Seven and a band, you're out 10 bucks. Repeat 15 more times or buy a flight suit. I'll go with the former. I would have worn a flight suit too in ROTC if I could have. It doesn't make it less gay, though.
  20. Shit! My unit's been doing it wrong. We're non-standard, I hope we don't have some crazy ROTC inspection. I'm always suprised at the number of shades of green at any large gaggle of flight suiters. Crayola could fill a 64 box with just green. Once again, i've got nothing constructive to add here. Just passing thru. edit is fur pesky speln
  21. What kind of plane? If there are no flight controls at the nav station, the short answer is no.
  22. Re-engine the tweet. That's pretty close to the F-22, I mean, they both have wings... I say no need for any new satelite launches or rocket/missles for that matter. Think of all the pay/retirement/benefit money we can save from all of those out of work misslers. Enough to re-engine the entire tweet force. Let's put this space shenanigan to rest.
  23. Congrats on the job and the slot!
  24. I threw my away. I doubt it would fit anyhow.
  25. I wonder if he "subpoenaed" the pornstar.
