so he landed via a prohibited maneuver? (speed hold enabled) "The pilot pulled back on the stick and hit full afterburners to try to abort the landing. But with the stabilizers pointing down, his effort to take off again was unsuccessful and he was forced to bail out." that's terrifying to me that the computer could overrule the pilot trying to go around!\ "And he had several things on his mind, the report said, including a positive COVID-19 test of a contact of a contact that might require him to quarantine, which contributed to his task over-saturation." - really?

yep.

He’s back! YES!!!

Congrats!

keep at it, have a smart plan, and go for that plan! maybe next step is instrument/commercial?

a few months? hope doesn't pay the bills. UPT won't solve all your problems and your quality of life might not be the best. (12 hour days, lots of TDYs post UPT, deployments etc) job is good, but i'm concerned you've built it up so much in your mind that it'll disappoint. don't get me wrong it's a great career path. unsolicited advice: i'd keep your well paying engineering job until you have something concrete lined up. 2020 isn't the year to be hoping to find a random job to pay bills before UPT. have you started your PPL? maybe that can keep you fired up until the air force comes calling.

are you financially secure enough to quit and wait out the timing aspect of it? i understand the frustration, but might be more prudent to hold onto the engineering job until you have something else lined up.

Thank you for your service!

lots of what you describe above is fine. but teaching "unconscious bias" training ain't what you describe. telling me i'm a racist and if i deny it that's even more proof that i am one...doesn't seem to be fair or helpful to winning wars.

hell yes dude. that's quite an obstacle to overcome and it makes me proud for you! not a fighter guy, but overall you pop with enthusiasm and dedication...keep at it!!!

true. i dont blame him for talking to PA its a good individual accomplishment actually. but in the bigger picture its blah

“I value the job I have now because it gives me the opportunity to pass on the knowledge I have as a military aviator" wut

That’s epic

Too many attempts at the Big Texan in Amarillo. Lay off that 72 ouncer young fella!

so many stories to tell

What memo?

corona virus is over. time to move on with our lives.

BURN THE WITCH!!! How dare you say more sims isn’t the answer! BURN!!!

quoted again for accuracy

i wasn't around when it happened but when the air force went "corporate" in the early 90s...man i feel like that really started the down spiral in terms of PC leadership.

coy is my middle name good sir! 😉

any info about the sheppard or other UPT base drops recently?

agreed. but you're asking for it with a mass voter mailing program. much harder to commit fraud when most americans go to the polling booth. also, i haven't heard one compelling reason to change the voting process with two months to go since the election. COVID is a known entity at this point and we know how to NOT catch it. Masks, distancing, open air spaces. easy.

states are responsible for voting. not a mass federal voting program.

yeah nice try bud, not two months before a presidential election. people are easily capable of standing in line to vote.
