NAVY crash in Virginia
Been listening here. At least one parachutist. "Two victims". Hoping for the best. https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/13160 EDIT: Police saying it's an E-2 and the "crew do not want to be treated."

The new airline thread
You know, you said "In the long wrong" when the correct phrase is "In the long run." Surprised no one pointed that out to you yet.

UPT Segregation
Exactly. How many homogeneous white male classes must be created in order to extract enough females and minorities to form one "America" class?

UPT Segregation
Yes, back in 2018. Guess they're getting serious about implementing it? https://www.airforcemag.com/Goldfein-Solutions-for-the-Pilot-Crisis-Center-on-Diversity/ The Air Force’s pilot shortage crisis offers “an opportunity for bold moves” to build the service’s diversity while correcting the growing deficit in aviators, Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein said Wednesday at the conclusion of a daylong summit on the problem. Those moves might include grouping minority pilot trainees together at flight school in order to have a built-in support system, building tighter relationships with community groups that promote minorities and women in aviation, making better use of Civil Air Patrol community outreach, and having pilot trainees meet with local schoolchildren as they make stops on cross-country flights.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
They both look insolvent to me. Although one taxis too slow and the other is constantly fucking up the radios.

Is it bad if I've never known or care to have known the difference between a Canadair and an Embraer? Asking for a friend.

Blast in Lebanon
Lebanon was already in an economic freefall. Their currency was becoming valueless. What a tragedy. “"The main grain silo, which holds 85 percent of the country’s cereals, was destroyed. Even more, the port will no longer be able to receive goods. Lebanon imports 80 percent of what it consumes, including 90 percent of its wheat...60 percent of imports come through the Beirut."

Please clarify: would you say we shouldn't have Presidential debates prior to a Presidential election, or should we not debate as to whether there should be Presidential debates? LOL. As to the Clintons: would you say they have not, and do not continue to have political influence with regard to the topics being discussed in this thread? Just giving you a hard time. Didn't want you to go around thinking anyone here fails to realize the dismissive mocking and scoffing isn't a common and cliche tactic.- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)

I don't think the ability to purchase another rifle is the issue. Having your weapons confiscated is.- Aquilaex Iridium Helmet Visors

I was venting out of frustration after some text convos with friends who are still in. Shouldn't have posted that in this thread. I'm recently retired and my assessments aren't as relevant as I'd like to think.- SHAW Viper Crash
Heartbreaking. Losing two of our talented and heroic young men is not a trend, and I'm not saying it is. However, I hope the investigations for these two most recent incidents start at day 1 of UPT and examines each and every training event of the syllabus, every break in training, and every hour they flew or didn't fly an actual aircraft.- SHAW Viper Crash
- WTF? (**NSFW**)
Say you're Lori Lightfoot and you're trying to explain to your police force exactly where that "distinct" line is, how would you do it? Once you've explained it to them, how effective do you think the police force you've openly lambasted and critqued are going to be at enforcing the policies you'd like enforced against people who are clearly on the other side of the "F the Police" movement? My next door neighbor is a childhood friend and 20 year city cop. We've talked for hours. They're getting tired, depressed, and morale is at an all time low. What you believe is right or wrong doesn't matter much if we lose the ability to enforce it.- F-15 Down in North Sea - 15 Jun 20

It doesn't make sense because the upheavel is not entirely about race. This race issue is a part of the larger generational cycle taking place. We've seen an abrupt increase in mass civil unrest around the globe the last few years. People are having an impulse to upend the world, and searching for an explanation, or excuse. Race happens to be it at the moment.
