  1. Not sure it's a boom-operator-up-front issue as much as it is a structural one. I've seen the boom on the 135 take lots of abuse and 50 yrs on, they're still not falling off the jet.
  2. Yeah, but how much does the hula girl on the glareshield of Fat Albert weigh? AMC fuel savings initiatives would never allow for something like that. That said, I'll bet she'd look good perched atop the altitude alerter on the tanker.
  3. I don't think anyone's arguing that heavy crews should just start winging it and make shit up as we go. Yeah, get the approach plate out and brief whatever you're planning to fly. You should also be able to land the plane by (steady now nav) looking out the fvckin window.
  4. Kind of like the mullet...with which it pairs perfectly.
  5. 3:15 gone...just like that. F*ck.
  6. I assume ejection seats are disarmed/inert? Sorry to see a guy go down like that.
  7. I thought "Drone-U" was a sort of derogitory term commanders used to scare subordinates. Example: "Lt, if you don't get your head out of your ass I'm gonna drone-u to Creech."
  8. While I think it's good that there is someone outside the military looking at the situation, it amazes me that there are a bunch of generals sitting around scratching their heads looking for the "root cause". Really? Keep squeezing the turnip, watch the suicide rates stay high. Simple.
  9. Yeah, but when's the last time the USMC changed it's dress uniform? It gets old when the AF sees fit to re-invent itself in some way (like a uniform change) every few years.
  10. Sorry....I read the post reserve / AETC, not reserve AETC. Obviously, a AFRC AETC gig is pretty safe....for now.
  11. Hey, don't knock the shaggin' wagon 'till you've taken a trip with kids in one. I could give a shit what other road users think of my ride when I'm enjoying the sweet bliss of a front seat that is out of range of my son's feet.
  12. Involuntary mobilizations are a fact of life for many units. You don't just get to choose when/if you go. That said, work/life balance is still much better in the ARC IMHO.
  13. I hate this argument. So, because some have it worse we should all just suck it up and pretend like it's all great? Disregarding the sport bitching that goes on in this forum, there are a lot of messed up things about the AF and I don't begrudge anyone that, after serving his term says "enough". Now, if this thing kicks off and some douche goes tactical DNIF to get out of going, that's a whole other story. Doesn't quite work like that these days.
  14. No. That's the problem. Israel strikes, Iran (suicidally) flexes in the straits, and we get drawn into a war we really don't want to be in. The best thing for everyone would be for Iran's entire cadre of nuclear scientists to meet tragic and untimely ends. Hmmmmm.
  15. Ain't nuthin sexier than a 'pirate kiss'.
  16. LOL. Who do you think would be running Iran? There'll be no beers for the first few days of this one. I'll be one of the first to volunteer though. It would give me a really good reason to tell some sock checking chief to fvck off!
  17. The last good Sean Penn flick. You don't ever go full retard.
  18. Huh? Despite our propensity for clouds, the sun, and tail numbers, it's usually not us dicking up the rejoin....Usually.
  19. Somebody's gettin' a threesome tonight. Giggiddy.
  20. Store or sell your truck. Buy a cheap, small used car when you get over there. I've lived in both Germany and the UK. You will not be comfortable in a large truck and will stick out as an American from miles away. When in Rome man...
  21. Sorry old buddy. Doesn't count when you're in Altus.
  22. Didn't think The Hurt Locker was good. Don't have high hopes for this one.
  23. Valid point. Maybe we should pick our politicians based on their tits. Couldn't put us much worse off than we are now.
  24. Yeah, that's usually the first thing I look for in a political candidate too.
  25. Holy jesus. Is she blinking in morse code to try and tell us that her captors have been roughing her up?
