This! Years ago, we pretty much did this at one deployed location I've been based. Basically had a CTAF freq where we ensured we were all deconflicted and used our targeting pod to scan the runway. It was pretty simple and worked just fine.

Heck depending on where you live, you could be covered by an eviction moratorium. Start renting now, then don't pay your rent, give your landlords the middle finger until big brother lifts the moratoriums in full. I figure you can account for 6-9 months of rent-free living, maybe more if you want to drag out the eviction process. LOL, I kid...but that kind of shit is going on right now. I guess the question is how comfortable are you that the market will stay the same in your time at this duty station? Although I'm not a huge fan of renting, in this market, I might consider it if I had to move. This market is absolutely ridiculous and I'm expecting/hoping to see the bottom drop out in the next year. When they finally lift all moratoriums on mortgages, I'd expect to see the foreclosures start to hit big time. Pre-Rona, the number of mortgages going into foreclosure ran around 35-40k/month, right now we're running at about 2-3k/month. LOTS of mortgages are currently in default and lenders are just waiting for the moratorium end date. Thankfully, I'm not in a hurry to move, because I'm getting my low-ball hat ready for when/if it does drop. I'm guessing there will be much gnashing of teeth as people finally have the realization that they're going to take a bath to sell their homes or go into foreclosure. I'd expect to see the market flooded with boats/campers/jet skis/etc... as well. Hell even the tax men are drunk with dollar signs. I just got notice that they think my townhome is worth about 20-25% more than I could ever dream of selling it for. Called them up and asked them who their pot supplier was, because they must be getting the good stuff! With ridiculous property taxes in my area, this is a battle I need to win. Hell, 5th wheels are hard to come by right now too. 6-9 month waits and even then, you often can't get the models you want. People just mentioned they were considering selling and they had offers from all over, well over what they paid 5+ years ago. It's nutty!

We're required to wear masks?

Get high, get fast and get your arms around it?

Summer/Fall of 2020, some d-bag made the floppy hat illegal again in Centcom. So we just wore our illegal baseball hats anyway (BAF not the deid).

Having seen these shit heads carry out their dead, then drag dead civilians into the rubble to use as propaganda, tend to jade ones view on "suspected civilian casualties." I'm not saying it didn't happen, and with this rusty coat-hanger abortion of an operation, nothing would surprise me. I'll just forever be skeptical of these types of reports.

Hmmm, in my experience, if someone in leadership has it out for an individual, little things like integrity, consistency and fairness don't get in the way of going after someone. Not saying this is the case in this situation, just an observation. I'm reminded of the time in BAF when an E-Model WG/CC flew across Nixons nose (big time), and nothing is said/briefed/etc... Yet when one of my squadrons mates saw he was about to bust just the buffer (not the actual border), goes full AB in the turn (still busts the buffer), dude grounds him and threatens to send him home. Hindsight, being sent home wouldn't have been half bad lol.

He's got other videos relating to entrepreneurship and real estate. I guess that's one way to get your name out there.

Rudders are for strafing, BFM and as another speedbrake only!

https://www.northeasthelicopters.com/ https://hghelicopters.com/ Here are a few I found, one in Ohio and one in Conn. Took some google searching and snooping around on here, then searching the individual schools, but they're out there. https://inquiry.vba.va.gov/weamspub/buildSearchInstitutionCriteria.do

It's crazy to me see how some commands appear to have weaponized Q-3s. Whatever happened to groundings, show up in blues and brief the squadron and move on? In all my time in AF (fighter) aviation, I've only ever remember hearing of one Q-3, and that was a B-Course friend who did some buffonerous stuff on his B-Course form-8...in chalks lol (he later became a patch). If I really dug, I'm sure there are more, but I'd be surprised if there was more than 1 Q-3 in my entire squadron. Hell, I'd be surprised if I saw a more than 1 Q-2.

I was just researching using my post 9/11 GI BIll to go get my Helicopter rating. Seems as if it would fully cover it...hmm.

Negative. Broke jet, home plate right below you...no brainer to me. It's just uncontrolled, not a torn up runway. How about thanks for bring a broke jet to place where mx is readily available.

Maybe this will be Biden's "red line..." Either way, what a fucking mess that is just going to get worse in the coming days. Good job and back slaps all around the table for our leaders. We all know there is no possible way they could have foreseen something like this happening. But wait, they knew of this was a possibility and planned for such a scenario. That plan will surface any day now...

Wonder if I my bullet "Saved the government xxx,xxx dollars by cancelling >XX pointless sorties where we weren't allowed to do shit anyway," will make it through the wickets?

Sure is a good thing we had to put pulling out on hold because of the election/transfer of power. It really helped to wait until the fighting season when were up against a tight deadline. Listen up young pups, remember this shit next time politicians are playing fucky games with your lives and make your life decisions appropriately.

It's only money, you'll make more. Plus I'd have to drive a long way to rent a Stearman, and I'm stuck to their rules and timeline.

Yup, you'll have time...might be a welcome break from the daily grind of UPT. I agree, it would suck to have your plane sitting in storage for a year, take it with you and keep her flying! Funny enough, you may have to fill out a "high risk activity" form so the Air Force knows you're doing "dangerous" things lol.

I checked out of Afghanistan a long time ago. Then they sent me back a decade later.

Mujahideen requesting help! The cycle starts over.

They can't even get my pay right for me. Flight pay is still jacked after 3 years. Never mind how bad they jacked up my TSP payments last year. Or, even though I emailed/called/pleaded with them that I shouldn't be getting with the w/dep rate, they paid me that for an entire set of orders on a deployment. Now I get to look forward to a year or so of debt payments taking most of my part time paycheck. Maybe some day they'll get it right...

As one commenter on a TPN thread stated (before some weak dick [facebook?] mod turned off comments)...."do I have safety privilege? If not, no comment."

NFW! I'm as cynical/jaded as anyone out there, but I can't believe this is true. I'm going to believe that it's just a normal investigation to get the facts of the issue. If it is true...I hope every pilot/load throws their wings on the bosses desk.

Also wouldn't work because we weren't really fighting this war anyway. Playing this onesie-twosie, whack-a-mole bullshit was never going to work. Also, people who think the Afghan war has only cost us 2,300 lives, are off their fucking rockers!
