Tactical Tanker
So how much fuel can it carry?

Tactical Tanker
Granted it's been a hot minute since I've been a tanker toad...but I'd imagine a low observable tanker is a much more survivable way to get gas closer to the fight than going the route of a jet powered H/M/KC-130. But with how much AMC is jerking itself off on the "ACE" acronym I guess it's hard to discount any idea, no matter how devoid of common sense, it appears.

The new airline thread
UPS had a normal forecast so it is curious why the disparity. It could always be a negotiating tactic by management against their work groups.

C-130 Seat Cushion
737 HUD doesn't adjust. But the seat and pedals have enough travel that it's never been an issue for my short (5ft7in) self. Good news is I'm one of the few people that doesn't bitch about the 737 cockpit being cramped. 🤣

Didn't see a similar thread for Iranian Tomfoolery. Besides them being in the news recently for trying to steal US Navy Saildrone Explorer USV's (new acronym to me: unmanned surface vessels)...looks like they just put in an order for 24 Su-35's that were originally tagged for Egypt. https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2022/09/04/iran-buys-24-sukhoi-su-35-flanker-e-fighters-produced-for-egypt/?fbclid=IwAR3BeYvM_22ZO2vRPgDaftw7WYRFZVJ9_q3Jljh4gv04-YjOI89sfuxbxxI- The new airline thread
I'm sure some law enforcement agency could pull the meta data pretty easily and find the guilty party that way. Just not enough public outcry yet to warrant that COA.- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)

Well bad news then, the Artemis launch was scrubbed due to maintenance. So that'll put you guys back a step.- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)

I'm more shocked that the Marine 1 crews wear bags. I'm pretty sure an ICBM could be inbound and I'd still have to change into blues to fly any Top 5 mission, let alone POTUS.- Google Earth Finds
