  1. Thanks, I sent an email last week but no response yet.
  2. Anybody know the current status of pops leather? Website link doesn’t work. Does anyone have a recommendation where to get a leather flight jacket modified these days? Thanks
  3. Any thoughts on replacing the rescue Angel with the king "K" and crown since the angel is more of a PJ thing?
  4. Heard back from Bremont. To get senior, command pilot wings or nav wings each version needs to have 15 orders. If there are 15 folks interested, let me know and we can make this order happen. HuggyU2 made a good point of getting senior pilot wings because the UPT commitment ensures senior pilot wings. That would be my vote. Thoughts? You can choose between a stainless steel case or a black DLC case finish. The barrel colors come in blue, black, orange, green, yellow, anthracite, bronze and titanium. Also you have the option of closed or open back. Each comes with a custom engraving on the back and numbered. I have mockups of the different colored barrels. PM me if interested. Still a great price for a really nice watch.
  5. I'll ask but my hunch is no unless we had 15 orders for each type. I'll be a senior pilot myself in a few months but would still go with the basic wings. I think if/when I got my command pilot wings I would want to upgrade my watch again which would get expensive.
  6. I was thinking the same thing. They also have a custom strap that you could get thats black leather with dark blue stitching. I e-mailed them to get an accurate price so guys have a good idea of what it will be. Tell all your friends, only need 12. Hopefully it won't be too hard to get more people.
  7. HU&W thanks for photoshopping this. It is a beautiful watch and I think it looks pretty sharp with the wings on it. Yes, the watch isn't cheap but by getting a custom order together we would get about a 50% savings on it. I think its a great opportunity to get a really nice watch that you will have for a long time/career at a discounted price. Anyone else have any inputs of things to add or change? I really like that it is simple, clean and neat. Do we have 15 potential buyers?
  8. This was exactly what I meant. Thank you for saying it better than me.
  9. Yeah I get what you guys are saying. I wouldn't want something that look like a BX special watch either. Having a hard time getting enough interest for HC-130 version and was trying to appeal to a larger audience. Thanks for the input.
  10. Looking to see if there is any interest in a group order for a custom USAF Pilot Bremont watch. I figure this would appeal to a wide crowd and not just limit it to a specific squadron or airframe. They have been making making custom watches for all the services and squadrons. They just recently made one for Naval Flight Surgeons. I was thinking if they made one similar to this one but with Air Force pilot wings and different colors to compliment it. Below are some details of the program from a Bremont rep. Looks like we would need a minimum of 15 orders. Any interest or inputs to make it better? http://www.facebook.com/BremontMilitary I can't get the screenshot to post that I took of the flight surgeon watch but you can find it on their instagram "bremontmilitary" In terms of Bremont squadron watch buy program, we have two types we can offer; 1) Smaller scale military watch buy (15 to 50 watch orders); For these we need a minimum initial order of about 15 watches (up to 50). We can work from any watch model from our collection (apart from Limited Edition and new models announced at BaselWorld 2015) and would bespoke the dial by adding either a logo, numeral or aircraft top view, silhouette or both. No other watch parts can be bespoke for this size order. 2) Larger scale military watch buy (50 or more watch orders); For these we need a minimum initial order of about 50 watches. Again, we can work from any watch models from our collection (apart from Limited Edition and new models announced at BaselWorld 2015) and would bespoke the dial by adding either a logo or aircraft top view, silhouette or both and we could also look at altering other watch parts such as rotor, or dial ring or case back or barrel (depending on the watch model chosen). Pricing: Our watches retails between $4,195 - $6,795 depending on the models. That said, Bremont subsidies a considerable part of the cost for special military project and we can provide for squadrons / divisions a bespoke watch for nearly half the retail price. The prices provided include Customs tax and shipping in the USA. The watches come on a calf leather strap and NATO style strap, the leather watch wallet, watch tool and three years warranty. Each watch is also personally engraved on the back case with your name, call sign or date (up to 8 digits). It is also possible to purchase a metal bracelet for and additional $375 ($750). As for timing, once we have agreed on a watch design and have collected enough orders, we request a security deposit payment from each individual to secure the project moving forward. The lead time from then on is about 22-26 weeks (for smaller scale order) and about 32-36 weeks for larger scale projects. I hope this covers most of your initial questions you may have Kyle and I am looking forward to hearing back what your thoughts are. Many thanks, Kind regards, Catherine

  14. Does anybody know if you can take the practical with 750 mil hours or is it only the written? I called allatps.com and they said I couldn't take the ATP practical without 1,500 hours. The guy himself didn't sound very confident with his answer though. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

  17. Hey guys...home is Long Island, NY for me. I could only find one yo e brew shop through a quick google search. What do,you think of this kit? http://www.midwestsupplies.com/brewing-intermediate-plus-kit.html It's not the cheapest kit, but it looks like it has everything I need to get start and more. Also looks like decent quality stuff. Glass carboys, stainless steel brew, etc. Anything missing that I'd need right away or poor quality? Thanks for the input, I'm really looking forward to getting home and started.
  18. Hey...I'm currently away and was hopping to start this hobby when I get back. I've been researching which beginner kit to order so I can have it at home waiting for me. What kits do you guys recommend for a beginner that comes with everything you need and is a decent quality?
  19. anyone know where there is a picture of this dirtbag ?
  20. anybody at corpus do the breaking of the wings ceremony recently ? and where can you buy sweetheart wings, mini wing necklaces and stuff like that ? Thanks
  21. Hey...I'll be heading down to Corpus soon, and I was wondering how people have been getting houses more recently on the island in corpus ? Are there any good realtors or websites ? Do most people still recommend just driving around until you find a place ? Any advice on areas to look and areas to avoid would be appreciated too. Thanks.
  22. what is the last one called ? If you want to do work at your guard base what paperwork is required and what is the process ?
  23. I am PCS'ing from NY to Vance AFB for UPT. I am doing a DITTY move. How do I go about doing this ? My finance office and TMO gave me little to no help with it. They said that I have to go to fort hamilton to have my car weighed empty and then full. Fort hamilton is about 2 hours away from me. Can I just go to the town dump and have my car weighed empty and loaded and just keep the receipts ? What paper work do I need to do a DITTY move ? Is that something I can get online. I appreciate any help I can get because I dont know how to do it and it looks like I will be losing out on money again.
