Believe it. They actually got airborne, but not for long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI5xTmmPbsY Should serve as a lesson to other C-5 crews: never take off in a C-5... so much for that privileged use caveat...

"TIB is going to be on base. Use your off-duty time to enjoy what the Air Force has to offer! Everyone come & bring your family/friends!" What? no sts? Meh, it's Sheppard. Not much else to do "Make sure to wear ABUs" let me get this straight, I have to wear a uniform in my off-duty time? A uniform I don't own? "Oh. You can also wear a flightsuit" Right, but I don't have to go to the club in uniform if I don't want to, but THIS is mandatory? Screw that.

Damn. He was my IP at ENJJPT...the only instructor that testified for me at the board. You sir will be missed A toast

Toro is DEFINITELY an Iranian spy

Thank god smoking and drinking are still legal...

Translation: "We screwed up and made your life a living hell for no reason. We will even drop the charges if you promise not to be difficult"

If we'd just fingerprinted the owner of the plane and forced them to register the plane with the government, we wouldn't be facing this tragedy...

morale was probably too high...

AFGSC Command just announced (via Facebook of all things) that they are getting rid of mandatory Blues Mondays... ...starting 1 January That's leadership for you. Do what everyone else is doing, but only weeks later

Didn't see this one until now, so THREAD REVIVAL!!! The CE mission in the AF is completely lost. The reason we are spending so many man hours is that the Army's Corps of Civil Engineers is overworked/grossly understaffed for their mission set, but the Army doesn't fix the problem because they can always rely on the good ol' AF to fill their shortfalls. I'm all for the one-team, one-fight mentality (wait...does that mean we're fighting amongst ourselves?), but that's when we're all trying to work together. In this case, the Army Staff has decided that they won't do their job because the AF will do it for them. As such, we've lost more AF CE troops than aircrew in these wars (at last count, I heard it was a ~3:1 ratio). My brother was a CE officer and got out because he was tired of non-vol 364s (can't even get a little ribbon...) to the kitty litter with less than 6 months at home to support the Army. Virtually every CE CGO is in this mess. Imagine if every aircrew was deployed to fulfill a "aircrew liaison" position in the Army every other year because their aviation folks are too busy. Do you think the AF aircrew would stand for it? Frog is spot on in his assessment that CE's priorities are screwed.

2!!! WTF?!

Good luck, Jared.

It depends...

Pretty sure those are F-4s. My grandpap flew them in WWII...

“There’s an element of subjectivity here.” In other news water is kinda wet and the inhabitants of Nagasaki and Hiroshima somewhat understood the blast effects of nuclear warfare in August 1945[/Pearl Harbor Day comment]

AFGSC has decided to keep blues Mondays Ina completely unrelated news story, Minot's simulators have extended their hours to keep up with Monday demand...

Operation DENY MORALE is now in Christmas mode....

I'd go with #2 (sts), but wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something else. Wouldn't have asked the question if I knew the answer. Another favorite in lieu of FT ("firm touchdown") or NF ("No flare"): CLCU (Carrier Landing Currency Updated)

If prior-E that may only be a few years and worth the investment

Standard. Give them 6-9 weeks to form a committee that will make a recommendation to form an approval committee to release a recommendation to the AETC/CC in 6-9 months...it will sit in his exec's inbox for an additional 6-9 weeks and be denied due to improper memo formatting...

Sounds good on radio? Sounds gay on radio?

No barrel roll after takeoff? Complete fail...

Perhaps they should wear an A-2 jacket so they feel like more of the team!
