Good on ya Timbonez! This thread is funny, it never gets too far gone before someone just can't take it anymore. Good times!

Dunno much about Euro's, but on the domestic side of the house....Alaskan Amber just plain rocks! Anyone headed to Fairchild in the near future??? Pick up a sixer at survival school, you won't be dissapointed. Wheelz

Holy juicy gossip Batman!! This is some trailer park shiznit right here!!!

Just say thanks and go on about your buisness. It's not THAT big a deal, and the guy is saluting the sticker, not the car, and not you. It's just a guy doing his job and paying respect to a policy that he is required to. IMHO you should enjoy the fact that we "the military" still uphold our traditions and pride in the manner that we do. Don't sweat it. Wheelz

Like Fury220 said...RTF syllabus. It's your job. TIMS is great, but you should know what is expected even when the computer doesn't work. Sounds harsh, but when I was teaching UPT, sometimes you just couldn't finish the gradesheet right away. Find another means to mission plan. Wheelz

Crazy to think that she will keep flying for a number of years yet! Here's to Kelly Johnson and the Skunkworks. Hail Dragons!

Holy crap dude!!! Get over yourself. Wheelz

Dude, outstanding observation for sure. But here's the scoop. As you yourself mentioned, the Navy names Boats after fallen sailors. And that is a Naval tradition, but we aren't very well going to start naming airplanes after downed airmen. Additionally, there aren't very many Air Force bases to go around. Certainly Lt. Richter has a noteworthy story, but so do hundreds, if not thousands of others. So while this is a great idea, it just can't be accomodated. How do you deem Vietnam to be a more or less important conflict than all the others? There are many AFB's named after fallen airmen by the way. But many of them are named after folks who died during the formative years of Air Force history. Hopefully that all makes sense. Wheelz

I can't count the times my class rolled that thing to downtown W.F., and even Dallas once. Thanks to one of my good bro's for rebuilding the fuel injection after we trashed it. Yeah, if that shortbus could talk..... Wheelz

I got the ERAU Masters while actively flying, but it was during an AETC tour. You will find however that ERAU and its extended campus instructors are quite flexible with students and their military schedules. I didn't deploy while I was getting the degree, but I certainly missed plenty of class due to late/night flying. You should go ask the question at your on-base ERAU office, because I am sure deployments are nothing new to them. As for the comment about classes only being offered during certain semesters...sure, but with a little prior planning (you can inquire as to what is coming up in the next year or so), it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck! Wheelz

Godspeed men...him him.

Not sure about Vance rules, I was a Sheppard guy in UPT. The dorms however makes your life alot easier because you will be crazy busy, and being that close to work helps mitigate things like being late due to traffic and such. Plus you will be around lots of other students, which helps with studying. Your call of course, but I think it helped keep me focused. I was single in those days of course. Wheelz

May be able to make it this year. If so, it will be my first time out. Let's get a showing this year folks...screw the economy, lets get some airplanes in the air and on the ramp! Wheelz

Yeah, I used them to ensure my Sportster 1200C as well. But realize that rates are SIGNIFICANTLY different for a sportbike. I was blown away when I found out that a new rider between 18-25 can pay as much as 2 grand a year for insurance! Wheelz

Now THATS a machine. My sense of self-preservations says to get a little more experience before jumping on a rocketship like an R1 however. Great picture Pete, what do you ride day to day? Wheelz PS - fou, I use Progressive because USAA sent me that direction after explaining that they do not do bike insurance. No complaints so far, and their rates are good.

Go away. Talk about 5 year-olds somewhere else. We discuss airplanes here cadet.

Jeezus.......4 pages of this garbage so far???? Really??? Uncle already! Wheelz

For all those newbie riders out there, I just bought a 2009 Ninja 650r yesterday afternoon. Previously I rode a Sportster 1200 which was my first bike. I am one of those guys who thinks stepping into sport riding should be approached carefully. So I got what I thought to be a fairly conservative choice both in price and performance. The bike turned out to exceed my expectations in alot of ways and I haven't even gone north of 4K RPM yet! Its a comfortable ride and very, VERY easy to ride. Great choice...with 2 years on a cruiser, I had NO IDEA what I was missing. Wheelz

Him him....

F&CK! Too darned many T-38 mishaps as of late. Hope those dudes made it out...

No doubt there is more to this story. I have heard rumors from Strike Eagle guys I work with in my current assignment, but I won't speculate. He probablly got what he deserved though. Wheelz

Brad and Alec, we won't forget you.

Him Him... Met Dave at the BX at Holloman once. Great guy, and VERY excited about being in the Raptor program. This is a sad day.

You're probablly right brick, but being realistic, it seems more likely that something like this could be justified, for existing Strike Eagles and such. The current administration is only gonna see the dollar signs IMHO.

Priceless!! It was only a matter of time.
