StoleIt

Didn't know Saudi Arabia had a formidable Navy. But with all that oil money...they could probably rent the US 8th Fleet for a couple years.

That sounds a lot like an episode of "Whale Watchers" or whatever. Where they flipped one of those first time they tried launching it. Hippies aren't sailors.

I am really happy that uniform got canned. Look at the officer...the pocket is so high up that his ribbon rack takes up majority of the room. He barely has space for wings...let alone if he was jump qualified or had an addition badge. Then his wings would be under his epaulette. And the AF doesn't need to waste more money on stupid uniform changes, more importantly.

Damn! Caught...I was gonna send you this if you were silly enough to pay: Figured you'd never know the difference.

Wow....if that was my wife...wow. You can't fix stupid.

A warning about Illinois...I applied for my FOID about two months ago and I am still waiting... This state sucks (except for the IVG and tax free stuff...but besides that it sucks).

Weird. I am definitly no aero-engineer. Wonder if this works on the same principle as vortex generators...Also interesting that they are using hydrodynamics as the base theory. We all now water doesn't flow like air. Look at the difference between a ships prop vs an airplanes for a reminder.

But they would atleast look fabulous doing it.

ZING! But seriously, I laughed pretty hard at this one.

This thread will go down in history...

Batman did it!!!

So you know for a fact that SF will shoot other people's guns? And this goes unnoticed by the first shirt, senior nco's, and the officers?!

So I am getting pretty close to pulling the trigger (no pun intended) on an M1A/M14. But I will be in a dorm on base so thus have to check it in with SF... So...how badly will they mess with it? I would like to try and leave a trigger lock on it so they can't shoot it. Is that possible? Any horror stories?

This post: Come on PAGE 6!!!!

Best numbers I have heard is the -35 is supposed to replace the F-16 AND A-10 1:1. Don't take this as holy writ. This article threw around the number "3,000" but really who knows. Source: https://www.afa.org/magazine/april2003/0403F35.asp

I knew opening this thread was a mistake...I enjoyed my false hopes and dreams.

It's art people. Flying horses, dragons, swords, Mp40's, chicks firing a Browning .50 Cal with 1 hand, and hogs shooting AMRAAMS. Who cares?! I still want one!

My jaw is on the floor. These are crazy. Anyone know the artist by chance? I want some prints! I mean seriously...damn! I just can't find a signature or any background on the pictures.

What a bunch of whiners... And I wonder what that guy did after he retired to be able to make the 20mil down payment on that baby...

Yea I know those two Hawgs exist, but my point was more toward actually produced versions for training. True. But I guess the -22 and -35 are different animals? Any stealth pilots here? Wonder how it was transitioning from -38's to -117's.

Well I am pretty slow and it just dawned on me... The F-22 definitly doesn't have a two seat trainer version...but operantly neither does the F-35. So in a couple decades when Vipers and Eagles have been retired...no more two seaters eh? Does the AF plan on stepping up some of the -38 training (or whatever its replacement might be)? Or does it expect simulators will be so realistic by then that all a stud needs is to pass -38's and then sims? Before this I think the Hog was one of the few jets that didn't have a two seat version for training. F-16D, F-15D, F-18D/F, TAV-8B. These are just the more modern ones... Thoughts?

I am a big DJ AM fan. Travis Barker and them do an amazing DJ/Drums set. Wish them a speedy recovery and my condolences to the families of those lost.

Sporties Pilot Shop has C172 and other GA planes. www.sportys.com And larger commercial GA here: https://www.presentsforpilots.com/training-...CFQJHxwodnDKmXw And if anyone can provide a link on where to snag an A-10C cockpit I would be forever indebted! Favorite airplane and it would probably always help to keep motivation up.
