Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
There will always be masking regions that have to minimized. That said, the ball should have been placed further back on the fuselage.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Why would they stop loss A-10 pilots? I thought we didn't need those anymore.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Less than a year ago, drone pilots were getting almost $100k to VSP.

You're a few years late. https://www.afpc.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123319877 The nice thing is that if you elect to use off base lodging while TDY, you get a little more to play with if you don't get a non-a.

Four. Deadliness/effectiveness on the modern battlefield is is much more than the guy with the bigger muscles. It comes down to the personality, skills, and behaviors of the individual. Women are just as capable of individuality as men.

AF Religion Guidelines
lol. Great examples of "religion"

Not So Stealthy Son of A-10
It's a good thing that the F35 is completely impervious to being shot down. If we were to somehow lose a single plane, it would be the equivalent to 50 A10's going down, and we all know how many enemies would die in THAT process.

U-2 Dragonlady info
Odds on that game are extremely variable. In my world, AFPC usually holds the sticks, and the game is quite easy.

How is this news? Air Force's newest fighter gets first female pilot

F-35 Lightning info
Valid. I was sourcing off of af.mil factsheets and didn't get as far as wiki. Still, seems pretty insane.

So, the AF lists the constant dollar (1998) cost of a Viper at $18.8M. Corrected for inflation at CPI, that's about $27M in today's dollars. The block 60 must have some serious upgrades to cost three times as much.

He looks so happy in that picture.

KC-135 Disappearance off Dover
Sounds about right. It takes about 10 minutes to enable, and another 10 to disable #tankerstealthmode. Add in 20-25 minutes to dispense the chemtrails...

Why Not the B-1 Instead of the A-10?
LRS-B is a replacement for the B-2, not the buff.

AFOQT Scores Delay?
Hi. I'd recommend checking here.

Shhhh...Don't talk about the A-10
The rest of the story... Maj Gen Jerry Harris to be the new ACC Vice.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
So, 52% weren't optimistic and 48% had little satisfaction/commitment. Isn't 52% + 48% = 100%? Does that mean the entire Army is depressed?

That Cyber Thread
No. Yes. I did use the sarcasm font earlier, but there was quite a bit of truth to my post. During the years I spent as a support officer, and even when I was enlisted, I always had my own computer. Since becoming a pilot, I've always used whatever workstation is available since everything is shared. It's a totally different mindset when you only have 100MB. Period. Including for archiving the important stuff. Also, webmail is buggy. It used to be better, but it doesn't play well with encryption. Especially with all the newest rules and algorithms that are supposed to protect PII by limiting access to attachments. Outlook is definitely not the smoothest interface out there, but at least it works.

That Cyber Thread
Because everyone in the AF has their own desk and computer that's assigned to just them. That way you can have a .pst on a big hard drive to download all those 15MB emails advertising CGOC golf tournaments that would otherwise shut down your email account in a single weekend.

Don't worry too much. Someone will get promoted right now for consolidating all the data to reduce cost. In a few years, someone else will get promoted for decentralizing the networks, thereby increasing speed, reliability, and survivability.
