StoleIt

Article copied from Fox News but they lifted it from the Wall Street Journal (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/08/sell-f-fighter-jets-saudis/). I thought these were reputable news organizations? I mean really? And I guess nobody thought it would be good to check and see if Saudi Arabia already owned any F-15's...I mean they only have 82 C/D models and 71 S (E) models...

Well I promised myself that my first pistol would be the one that every American male is supposed to own... And here she is: Springfield Armory 1911 GI

Pick up my Springfield Armory 1911 GI tomorrow! Can't wait...

Just a heads up, T-1 guys can NOT track B-52s or B-1s. Those are T-38 studs only.

Amazing talent those guys have. My best friend is in the 'Stan right now and his platoon sniper nailed a guy (center mass) at 800 meters using an M14 (M21) with iron sights. I thought I was remotely talented just qualifying expert with an M-16A2 when playing around with the Army...but damn. Those guys are magicians.

Awesome. Didn't Airbus kick Northrop to the curb too? And my prediction: 20 years before we get another tanker.

Since it hasn't been posted: CBM 10-08 KC-135 Hickam ANG C-5 Travis KC-135 Grissom AFRC Kc-10 McGuire (edit) KC-135 Fairchild ANG KC-135 Kadena RPA Creech C-130 Yokota RPA Creech T-1 CBM KC-135 Macdill C-5 Westover AFRC C-17 Elmendorf ANG C-17 Charleston KC-135 Grissom AFRC

DUI is definitly a career ender for a UPT stud. You lose your slot and right now the AF is in a big personel cutting spree they will force shape you out without hesitation (already happening to dudes who SIE out of UPT or IFS).

RIP.

Yea all those former F-15C drivers that lost their jets have tons of CAS experience to pass around...

You sir...are a son of a bitch! I have mananged to avoid being Rick Rolled for the past year...now this!!!

Runway is just under 5,000 feet long. They must have been way over weight to not be able to clear a 100ft obstacle. 363' per NM to 500 for RWY 7. I haven't flown a Cessna 310 but I'd imagine it should be able to exceed that. OR they were single engine... Anywho, my condolences to the family.

If you can't duct it, fuck it.

Kinda hard to judge with a picture that small: But here ya go: And this looks close: With the cockpit poster link, it shows "USAFA" on it. I believe their DA-20's were slightly different. I recall because they had those old USAFA cockpit posters in the flight room for stand up and I got sat down because I referenced the wrong engine #'s on the poster instead of the IFS ones...so slight differences from the USAFA to the IFS DA-20's I guess.

James Camron wrote the script immediatly after he finished Titanic (1994/5). So rest easy, nothing in this movie had anything to do with the political climate of today...and since he isn't a fortune teller I doubt he knew about the oil crunch or OIF/OEF. I for one absolutely loved pretty much every aspect of the movie. Only wish there was an IMAX in a reasonable distance of here. I highly recommend seeing it in "REAL 3D" rather than the regular 3D though, the difference was rather noticable.

I wouldn't let the dude get away with the arm rest thingy. I paid for my 17 inches (STS) of lateral room (wikipeida confirmed this is how wide a standard airline seat is) and don't intend on sharing any of it. Call me cruel...call me racist/sexist/fat-ist?...but being cattle in the back of an airliner is typically bad enough with the crying children, sick people, and other annoyances I really would snap if I had to fight with 40lbs of excess blubber spilling into my seat as well.

What awesome business ethics... Why did we include them on the KC-X again?

They probably added the $2k ontop of their regular paycheck and thought of it as one giant bonus. Thats what I did. So technically, it was only 2k...but it feels better to say 3.

Oh wow, misread that.

Wow, way to go Mr. King!!! Anyone else think 13k for two buses is a bit steep though? 1,200 miles doesn't seem that bad either.
