the DOSS aircraft have the panels swapped, you'll sit on the right, with the instruments in front of you I had 85 hours in the left seat of a DA-20 before i attended IFS...it took about 10 minutes to get used to flying from the other side. Flying the DA20 would be pretty helpful, IMO seat doesn't matter

Vietnam in HD - History Channel Show Starting Tonight

intense and impressive, great show -
for those who are racers or follow racing Marco Simoncelli was killed shortly after the start of the Sepang GP...low sided in front of Rossi and Edwards, both hit him square on, impact was so bad his helmet was torn off. I saw a young rider hit and killed on the racetrack when i was still racing, and this crash was far worse. RIP 58

Depends a lot on configuration? Clean? Two wing bags? Centerline? Wings and centerline? Loaded with stuff on the other hardpoints? Very hard to say without a lot of assumptions about configurations. Loiter time varies with load and distance to-from base, but maybe 45 minutes at 200NM from base with a nominal load.. However, basic ferry range for the F-4E would be about 1000 NM. with internal and wing tanks only...maybe 1200 miles with a centerline tank added.

here's a pic of the panel...interesting configuration, especially if it isn't mounted upside down.

As a student you won't have a choice, you'll be on base. If for some reason they don't have housing (they had plenty as of several months ago), move on as soon as possible. You want to be close to your class for studying/partying, and being 1/4 of a mile from the flight line makes life easy. The only folks I knew who lived off base either moved on as soon as they could, or washed out.

lucky I guess. I changed bikes and they farmed me to progressive years ago. The initial rates progressive was quoting were actually really good compared to what they quoted if you didn't get referred by USAA, but within a couple years they were quoting me ridiculous prices.

very nice!! I tried to find a superduke that wouldn't break the bank, the Zed was just too good a deal to pass up.
-
finally got a new scooter, too bad the roads around hell rio turned out to be terrifying and boring to boot, counting the days until I get to leave
-
Confirmed on the base. Both alive, no word on condition one way or the other.
-
the posters have some differences from the actual aircraft, but its close enough, all the training posters in the Doss facility are different from the aircraft anyway

from the article "This is not a graceful or elegant creature. It's a ######ing angry pig that roots around in shit all day and gores lesser creatures to death with it's giant goddamned awkward tusks."

I suggest a boot to the door, I kicked the living hell out of more than a few cars trying to merge into me, works wonders.
-
sorry, I wasn't clear, I don't think they are any shorter, however they aren't 5x too wide anymore so you don't look like you're carrying a giant steamer in back, these actually fit
-
I have the new short ones with no reflective material, they were definitely worth the money, i always wear underarmor so the length isn't too much of an issue, they have a good sized ID/key pocket and don't make obnoxious noises while running, and in general fit/feel better...haven't seen the longer ones yet, but the shorter are a definitely improvement, whatever thats worth

he has lots more, trust me, tell him to write a book already, they're all good
-
Nope, although the leadership was a little more strict up at Danang than ours was living on the Marine airbase at Chu Lai, we all generally rolled up our sleeves, pulled the zippers down to mid-chest, and didn't wear reflective belts. It was a different time, that's for sure. Edit: Damn, junior's on my box again...

I remember being involved with a study on options (in the 90s), good and bad. After the study was completed, the list was : Good - 0; Bad - dozens. Best option, stay as is. (EDIT: Oops, just noticed my son was on my computer. HiFlyer)

that was an awesome bike, my first race bike, all day comfortable for the street, and immensely capable on the track, they need to make more bikes like that

my DRZ400sm is my go anywhere bike, I'll take it there! with Avon Distanzias on it, it'll handle anything short of a river
