  1. Marty are you licensed in UT yet?
  2. Yes, I'm in the know. No, I'm not speaking to any of that shit. Where are your troops and can I count them?
  3. it's ABQ. The TV show COPS originated there. Nob Hill is between Central and the airport. Your distance north from I-40 is inversely proportional to the amount of crime you may personally experience. Nob Hill and UMN are close enough to the turd they get spill-over.
  4. where's this cheapo lodging? If it's south of I-40, you may want to re-evaluate your options, or resign yourself to getting your vehicle broken into or stolen.
  5. we AF peeps call it an ADSC (c for commitment); we understand the concept, just the acronym was different.
  6. Also, with a baby, you could probably throw out the crew rest card. You won't be afforded the opportunity for 8 hours of uninterrupted crew rest with only a 1 bedroom TLF...
  7. There will ALWAYS be people who want to, or don't mind living in, places that would seem less desirable to many others. Case in point, Mother Rucker.
  8. badly damaged enough that I've heard they're writing it off...
  9. gathering options to present to a customer. Had an interesting brief/demo today from one such company, might be the one you're referring to.
  10. He certainly slipped the surly bonds of earth. A Toast...
  11. Can you find out specifics on the filter?
  12. PM sent. I found this list on a Navy document (thanks CNATRA for posting things online): a. WAMCO P/N FPDC212-IPM-002 for iPad Mini b. KORRY NIGHTSHIELD P/N 50051-001 for iPad Mini Would be curious to see what the AATC folks came up with.
  13. it's not my iPad, it's for the F-16. Is Invert Colors truly NVIS compatible? Otherwise it's just a short-term work-around to a long-term problem. And I'm looking for the long-term solution. But thanks for the suggestion!
  14. For communities with EFBs, and who fly with them at night on NVGs: 1. Do you have an NVIS-compatible filter for your EFB? 2. If so, who made it/where was it procured? Looking for an NVIS filter film/glass of some sort for iPad minis that won't negate the touch screen capes. I assume there's already a govt-approved solution out there, so please share what you know.
  15. I wish (native Austinite here)! I remember visiting Bergstrom when I was in middle school before it got BRAC'd. Now it's the international airport...so that won't work either.
  16. You mean Mesa Gateway Airport?
  17. lol. Ramp's full at Moody. The space once occupied by the T-6s and T-38s is occupied by A-10s and A-39s. Airspace is also full. Pipe dream for someone at AFPC, methinks.
  18. moot for me since my finding fee is waived (60% disability FTW). But yes, I will be coming to the table with $$ for my next purchase in UT.
  19. Schofield's Quote...
  20. Marty, Does this mean if I haven't fully used my VA entitlement, the remaining portion of it will be based on $424.1K (aka, 25% of $424.1K minus how much I've already used)?
  21. other than directly caused by the ejection, any damage to the plane? Was he on roll out our what? Last time, I remember seeing pics of the F-16 inverted sticking out of the mud with landing gear extended...
  22. that's a problem with how the govt wrote the contract, not with the contract instructors. Govt set an unreasonable expectation for "efficiency" and then fines the company when students are "late" (and I say late in quotes, because even if a student makes it to the flightline on time, if every syllabus event didn't occur on the day of the syllabus it was supposed to, that's a late, which is ridiculous).
  23. new contract has been in place for 2 months now. If there were going to be shenanigans, they would have happened by now. We're all professional enough to do our jobs even if we aren't wearing tan flight suits anymore. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
  24. better dust off the dropped object report...
  25. my current lot is .155 acres, and feels a tad small in the back yard for me (but I don't and won't have anyone behind me because it backs up to a designated open space). .2 acres would be a definite improvement, that's an additional 2000 sq ft of yard space over what I currently have. The ultimate goal is to not feel my neighbors looming over and around me. Thanks for the input!
