Way to make an entrance!
I always liked the feeling that I didn't necessarily have to lock my car on base, (Air Force family and all...) oh well. This is just one more way to erode the trust we're supposed to have in our superiors. Blah. - Stuck

"Rumor has it that Canada may also have an Air Force. This is most likely false considering it is widely known that Canada has no military." Nice. - Stuck

So a viper driver following pre-programed steerpoints to drop GPS guided bombs from 30k is not a fighter pilot? I say Luke flies an X-Wing, he's a flippin fighter pilot. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wedge_XWingSaga.jpg Except for Porkins. He was not a fighter pilot. https://www.goingfaster.com/darkthoughts/kfcporkins.jpg Cheers! - Stuck

Terminator Salvation
It was a pure cup of holy righteous badassness. Outstanding product for something I've been waiting for since the first one came out. Best part was how they connected how Conner got his facial scars. Sh*t hot flipping movie. Cheers! - Stuck

The "Bird splitter"
What function does the vertical fin inside the intake of a viper have? I've asked a few dudes what it is to no avail. Something to do with going supersonic? High AOA? I know it doesn't move back and forth in there (sts) so what does it do? Any AE dudes around? Cheers! - Stuck

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
Wow. I knew the Viper pipeline was backed up, but... wow. Do all the non-ENJJPT bases drop an equal amount of T-38s every year? Any predictions on who might be dropping more T-38's in a mid 2010 pilot training class? Cheers! -Stuck

Replacement to the T-38
Wow, even the cockpit on that little T-50 looks like a Viper. Cheers! - Stuck

World War II Trivia -
Got this from a history buff pal of mine. Enjoy! ******************* This from history buff Col D. G. Swinford, USMC, Ret. You have to dig deep for facts like these: 1. The first German serviceman killed in WW II was killed by the Japanese ( China , 1937), the first American serviceman killed was killed by the Russians ( Finland 1940); highest ranking American killed was Lt Gen Lesley McNair, killed by the US Army Air Corps. So much for allies. 2. The youngest US serviceman was 12 year old Calvin Graham, USN. He was wounded and given a Dishonorable Discharge for lying about his age. His benefits were later restored by act of Congress. 3. At the time of Pearl Harbor, the top US Navy command was called CINCUS (pronounced "sink us"), the shoulder patch of the US Army's 45th Infantry division was the Swastika, and Hitler's private train was named "Amerika." All three were soon changed for PR purposes.! 4. More US servicemen died in the Air Corps than the Marine Corps. While completing the required 30 missions, your chance of being killed was 71%. 5. Generally speaking, there was no such thing as an average fighter pilot. You were either an ace or a target. For instance, Japanese Ace Hiroyoshi Nishizawa shot down over 80 planes. He died while a passenger on a cargo plane. 6. It was a common practice on fighter planes to load every 5th round with a tracer round to aid in aiming. This was a mistake. Tracers had different ballistics so (at long range) if your tracers were hitting the target 80% of your rounds were missing. Worse yet, tracers instantly told your enemy he was under fire and from which direction. Worst of all was the practice of loading a string of tracers at the end of the belt to tell you that you were out of ammo. This was definitely not something you wanted to tell the enemy. Units that stopped using tracers saw their success rate nearly double and their loss rate go way down. 7. When allied armies reached the Rhine , the first thing men did was pee in it. This was pretty universal from the lowest private to Winston Churchill (who made a big show of it) and Gen. Patton, who had himself photographed in the act. 8. German Me-264 bombers were capable of bombing New York City (one way) , but they decided it wasn't worth the effort. 9. German submarine U-120 was sunk by a malfunctioning toilet. 10. Among the first "Germans" captured at Normandy were several Koreans. They had been forced to fight for the Japanese Army until they were captured by the Russians, and forced to fight for the Russian Army until they were captured by the Germans, and forced to fight for the German Army until they were captured by the US Army. SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST.... 11. Following a massive naval bombardment, 35,000 United States and Canadian troops stormed ashore at Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands ...21 troops were killed in the assault. It would have been worse if there had been any Japanese on the island = ************************ Wild stuff. Cheers! - Stuck
