Maybe the Booze Bet I won from ya about when POTUS would step down? Even though I was off by a few days, but you were determined to pay. So I’ll be drinking it this week. Thanks TAC

Here you go guys…And Huggy maybe you can get Mark to add this to his Collection of Warbirds. https://barnfinds.com/fighter-jet-fixer-upper-canadair-f-86-sabre-mk-6/

TAC Air….I missed the call by a few days.
-
Yes, Tac......he will step down I think by Monday. But I will honor my opinion about manana. Will PM you with what "Bottle" you would like...no Chateau Margaux though....
-
All orchestrated by the DNC. Tomorrow he will step aside for health reasons. MSM (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc, etc) will declare "Breaking News", and stop covering the Republicans Convention, thus denying Trump his moment of glory.....
-
I’m sure he can’t wait to chat with the Secret Service.

Time for Brandon to Unload, AB, and Bug Out....and declare himself a Dot! And for me to go to bed...LOL...
-
Love this Fur Ball....keep it up....Helps us Oldies have something to eat and drink to. Except, don't get too late in the evening, past our 4pm Bedtime. CHECK 6

So why did President Biden go to a Waffle House (or ANY place) after the Debate with the “Cold” that the White House said he was suffering with, shake hands, and hug….And let alone without a Mask!? WTF
-
Great Huggy, plan is to have 546 gear seals replaced along with a few minor stuff done and flying by Fall for the Jet Blast. FYI....sent you a PM.
-
Hopefully, when we get the gear seals replaced (also hopefully soon) you can fly it. Actually it is fun and easy to fly...I instructed in the Tweet and always wanted to fly the A-37.

Hanging out as 4 on the A-37.

The KC-97 was often challenging if at Night and with reduced visibility. Had to lock out the Slats to prevent there cycling as our speed was so slow. So it was a wallow. Additionally, we would refuel in a slow descent. USAFE operations required to be Mission Ready you need 4 successful refuelings. 2 135s, Day and Night, and 2 97s. But if your first in house (USAFE) was a Night 97 and you could demonstrate abilities, then the other 3 were waived.

I agree with brabus...two Mig killer friends (one with 2), I think, would also agree. But I'll confirm manana.
-
Springer, now we are the Dinos that we talked about and with....In the early 70s, stationed in USAFE, I met an O-6 during NATO Crested Cap that asked me to help him plan a Low Level into France. As I recall, I think he was the CC of the "Tacos" (New Mexico ANG) flying A-7s. When asked the Route he wanted to fly and why, he told me he had flown P-51s and wanted to see his WW2 Airfield, even if it was no longer there. Flew three wars. I think he was probably about a young 55 or so!

Any you remember when the ORD Ground instructions were something like: Taxi via the "Outer" to "Cargo" to the "Wedge" to the "Inner"? I always told both my FOs and SOs (727) to listening up and after exiting the runway to be prepared to write down the ORD Ground instructions. And once, neither did, and fortunately, I knew the "Drill"...and so they bought drinks that night.
-
Brabus, you are breaking my Heart. Flew the hard wing C, D, Es and the Slatted E. Great machine. But then it was the only real choice for me back then (before you were born). Check Six, D

Fortunately, and sometimes unfortunately, I have known (and interacted) with a lot of GOs (all services) in my 50+ years since 1969. Many a friend, some not so. Four became USAF Chief of Staff. With that stated, I not always agreed with several of my GO friends in their support of WH/Pentagon policy decisions. Personally, I have little respect for the latest generation of senior GOs. And as for Milley, well the above members I agree with.

No risk Boomer6, I totally understand your thoughts and evaluation. And I agree that TCU was not ready, even before the incident, for Colorado. Still, young people are often easily influenced by events occurring around them. Anyway, my second wife thinks TCU was/is over rated from last year. She's my "Sporty Girl", as her daughter's husband was drafted in 1998 and played 2 years. I just listen and watch.
-
First off, the Colorado and TCU game was great to watch. With that said, the TCU players and students were reeling from the murder of Wes Smith, TCU player in 2021. The Pre Game moment of remembrance, was well deserved, but might have had affected team members. My grandson, that attends TCU, was pretty shook up, as he frequents 7th Street. Losing many friends, to both combat and peacetime, I can attest to how it affected me, especially in my first/younger years of flying. So as the great NY Yankee catcher, Yogi Berra (that most of you youngsters don't know) said: .."It ain't over til It's over". Let's see how the season plays.

I think I have an (the) original Yankee Air Pirate patch on my old (me) helmet bag, that my progressive (40+ old) kick ass Lawyer (Kirkland Ellis) daughter has. She loves to show my helmet bag off, and loves Top Gun...Go Figure?...I think there is another, or more, non PC correct patch from the 70s on the bag. And would have loved getting my Load from a Chick Boomer.

ClearedHot…..That’s a SHACK!
