Anybody fly Super 80's?
Increase DA 100 ft for every 10% above 40% relative humidity, or so my -1 tells me.

Farewell to the 6th SOS...
They got news sometime in the summer. One more cool Huey assignment down the drain.

Lifestyle of Helicopter Pilots
Rucker was definitely a step away from the Phase I/II mindset. 8 hour academic days and during contact we were done by 1 or so in the afternoon (3.0 to Skelly, debrief, done). I'm sure the RWQ is similar if not better.

At least he had the cookies and burritos to keep him company.- Common Vertical Lift Support Platform 15 yrs late
Not arguing that, it's just that the dedicated MEDEVAC bird for Rucker cannot carry an entire crew and will have to rely on other aircraft. The Huey's they replaced, could.- Common Vertical Lift Support Platform 15 yrs late
Yeah like when one PL's and Flat Iron can't take the entire crew. Sure glad that they weren't hurt or something.- Common Vertical Lift Support Platform 15 yrs late
There is a contract that was just approved for the NVG compatible cockpit for the Huey back in December. Also there were slides for the WW Heli Conference last year about the crashworthy seat proposal. Improved survivability is a joke. The refurbished Marine birds that we are getting are getting all of their defense systems removed because they don't want the cost of maintaining them. The UH-72 won't work at all because we are already payload limited.- Hornet Crash @ Virginia Beach - Populated Area

I almost got denied the ability do take my test a couple weeks ago because I had on white compression shorts on. Apparently only black or dark blue are allowed. The tester actually said "I'll let it slip this time" UFB!- CSAR-X
Couldn't they use the ones manufactured for the MH-60M?- CSAR-X
