In the Herk world the Lineup checklist itself was an "Additional safeguard" that was "created and implemented" because guys were forgeting steps on the Before take off checklist.

He wanted to be able to tell guys at the VFW that he bailed out over Berlin.

Should be labeled NSFHE (Not Safe For Human Eyes)

I would hope that any O worth his/her salt after witnessing said event would say “Chief Master Sergeant(don’t call him Chief, and you can‘t address them as Sergeant anymore) remf, a moment of your time”. Notice the lack of question mark at the end of that. Then begin quizzing/schooling him on planes, mission, ect. as stated above. PS; An added win here is think of the respect that Airman would have for the Officer corps after that.

My hair started parting itself down the middle before I retired.

While we’re at it can we shoot the assholes that bring the viruses?

There's still Giffs sub shop on Eglin parkway.

Probably the same safety jackass that dropped the speed limit on the perimiter road from 45 to 35. If you see someone in an old dually doing 20mph it's me being extra safe. I slow down to 5 when I get on main base.

CH may, or may not, have heard my sig a time or two.

The EP puts on his Santa hat and gives him a "do over" and he still screws it up. Based on this info only I don't see it as a Q-3. If he got the plane(sim)stopped without hurting anybody or breaking anything but forgot the checklist. Q-2. He did do the bold face correctly, right?

So you aint learned to slow down behind one of those? Are you a 16 driver?

Crestview!!! REPRESENT!!!!

Too bad, when I read the title I was thinking it was one of these.

There are some that thankfuly resist the urge to drink (E's AND O's)they are too few and far between though.

I googled his name and read his bio. Ranger Training at Benning Bronze Star with Valor Purple Heart Seems odd for a shoe

I remember when (just prior to AFSOC being born) Mx/Ops in the same squadron and in debrief a conversation came up about whether or not it was an Ops/Mx late take off. I asked “what does it matter?” “We still have to keep track of that”. MK, if I remember right there were a string of positive tests in the late 80s from bases in FL. Come to find out it was cross contamination at the test site. All, QA is no different than StanEval. You got your good ones and bad ones. Remember the old saying. “If he cant fly make him an instructor, if he can’t instruct, make him an evaluator” There is a grain of truth on both sides here.

I'm wondering what was said in the crew beief.

Ask an FE to show you the definition of TERRAIN FOLLOWING (TF) in his 101. That what we were doing in the 80s. It was logged on the 151 as TF. Look at the definition of CONTOUR FLYING(CF). Not what we were doing. Next, look at the definition of modified contours, oh wait, there's not one. Some MAC puke coined that catch phrase in the 80s and it got into the books. BTW, those definitions have not changed in 30+ years (LJ, I think that older than your airplane). MACregs and AFIs have. Not pointing at anybody in particular but its funny how some people think they're "old heads" and know how it’s “always been done”.

Terrain Following is WHAT you'r doing with the airplane. The radar is HOW you'r doing it. See the difference?

I got a T.O. to back up my statement watchyoo got?

2 The copilot can do all that. Its the Jay model after all isnt it? You dont need any more crewmembers. And I can say you are wrong. Do you think you need a radar to do TF? We did practice threat pens.I was in Gunships when we were serious about LL. Before the GSOLL term came about. The FE was responsible for that up untill the late 70s. The IO would do it after that. Perfect for the Jay model AC and EC are IMO good missions for the Jay model. But, lets see how the gun vibes affect the fragile stuff in the Jay.

Fixed

"Ready, Fire, Aim" has been AFSOC's process for DS.

You e-kicked me in the junk and I kicked you back. Were even.

You sound like the kind of guy that thinks he’s a better pilot just because you fly a fancy new airplane.
