Lots of discussion about tanker winglets here: https://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/military/read.main/116204/

Put a wheel on the boom! It would've been cheaper than changing the fuselage.

Fucking heinous waste of money, on top of being discriminatory. "Hey can I be a part of this record flight?" "No, you're a man!"

It's too late, we're already outspending ourselves.

Even if open source information is available, one of us saying "yeah that's my jet" essentially confirms the info as valid. The bad guys employ plenty of people to mine and compile open-source data, at least make it hard for them.

I sure hope not. A warfighting organization needs a warfighter as a leader, not an administrator. That's what the SECAF position is for.

Not true. Mechanical watches keep worse time.

Looks like the air deflectors are stowed in some of the shots. Tom Cruise may be a foolish Scientologist, but this is cool.

FYSA, DOPMA is the law that governs officer promotions. It's been discussed in the PRF and non-continuation threads. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Officer_Personnel_Management_Act https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_or_out

So how long until we start flying shiny jets again?

You'll not find it useful in the jet. Maybe at enroute stops, but Baseopses and FBOs have everything you'd need.

Muslims don't wear turbans. That's a Sikh.

An article written by a grad student with a pilot slot. "Jonathan Miller recently completed an MA Strategic Studies at Aberystwyth Universitys Department of International Politics. Soon embarking on a career in military aviation, his primary interests are airpower strategy, information warfare, air/sea battle doctrine, and the concept of "officership" as a profession."

Criminal mismanagement. I'm glad the story's out.

Never say never.

How's the 110° and 90% humidity part?

To wrap up, that cop was stupid and should be fired. To make sure YOU don't get shot by a subpar cop, follow the above tips.

First shootdown of an enemy jet by a Patriot. They're now 1-2.

Just to be clear, he's in a Reserve sq. The AD sqs only have 1 or 2 Lt Cols

I think the majority of the complaints originate from the spouse, particularly the ones who haven't made friends at the husband's new duty station. A wife who spends most of the day alone/with kids while the husband is gone will start hating life no matter the location. That's why the spouses' club is so important for the health of a squadron.

Apparently the direct injection allows for this, even though the turbos are pushing 12psi. The fuel and air aren't mixed until they're in the chamber, so there's less chance of knocking. Pretty sweet.

I'm not sure if the current generation of turbocharged aluminum DOHC truck engines will be as reliable as the old cast iron OHV V-8s.

I heard that Dhafra just broke ground on a Five Guys. It's over there behind the RLBs.

You can also Velcro the sleeve ends together after you've tied them in a knot to prevent them comng undone.
