Super Hornet question.
I heard their AOA went up to 11 and that was more than enough, not sure where the 50 + comes from.

Super Hornet question.
The hornet's thrust vectoring, combined with the fact that it's the only airplane that can fly underwater, make it better than most modern russian fighters, in my opinion.

Pilot Life and raising a family
This is it right here man. The fact of the matter is you're talking to dudes who could be considered cynical douchebags, but they're pilots. And the fact of the matter is a lot of the dudes here have given our country a lot of time and sacrifice doing what they do. You are young and unproven in the pilot world. You have no experience and therefore no credibility. The simple fact that you would attack dudes for how they handled your question with the disparity between where you sit and what they've done is what folks are going to be mad about. Take your licks and be grateful you got some good gouge from dudes. Don't disrespect other dudes who are hacking the mish, you haven't earned the right to quibble. If you want to join the community, this is a good opportunity to learn the first lesson of a fng: never pass up the opportunity to shut the ###### up.

Which UPT base to pick
Laughlin is Mexico, but the weather is usually nice. The pros and cons of that were already mentioned but for a new guy in the T-6 it makes it a little easier to get landing down when the wind is always down the runway at 10 knots. Also Skillets is the best diner I've ever been to. Columbus has weather that's the exact opposite of Laughlin, but it's closer to civilization. Think it's only a couple hour drive to get to the beach in Florida. I've heard Vance is just terrible. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter. You'll spend most of your time with your bros and you can make the most of it wherever you are, or piss and moan and hate your life for a year or two.
