    Does 10mm shoot more like a 45 +p or a .40?
  2. Ouch, stuck for a month...planning to rescue with a barge
  3. First rule about Iran is that you don't talk about Iran 😁🤣
  4. I suppose it depends on what type of "flyover" your planning. I flew my 210 over my grandfathers funeral at a national cemetery, it was outside of controlled airspace and I stayed to 1000 feet agl so no issues. I might have made the second pass a bit lower but everyone in attendance knew who it was so no one called to say some maniac buzzing the place.
  5. Just before fire season started there were 14 C130 here for training, flew for a week everyone got certified. I counted 8 different tails. So I think ANG is involved but based on what's here currently we have 4 water bombers, ba146, dc9, dash8 and an Aussie 737 so it would seem ANG is more backup or local area deterrent.
  6. It's the FBI all they know is brown nosing.
  7. Does anyone have any first hand experience with a Rutan Long Ez? I like the idea of 185kt on 8gph, +5.5/-2.5G for 1000 miles
  8. Saw it today in Boise with Mark flying, great machine and a great restoration!

    I was thinking they would have TFOA on the inverted pull when the g's exceed the pylon strength ..... but hey..... its a movie 🙄
  10. So here is my question. if we went to (insert company) and said build us an aircraft that does "x,y,z" we need it in two years and needs to cost $x. And we remove DCMA do we get the plane we need on time? Have manufactured for DOD on projects under DCMA I say yes. Thoughts?
  11. Anyone know why ATAC has four Hunters here in Boise?

    Remind me again how many years is Orion behind its Original launch date 😉. Latest setback was "humidity" Hahaha Cool factor definitely old school but the new suits seem so much less bulky and cumbersome

    Will the U2 crews ever be able to fly with the newer SpaceX type pressure suits? Seems like it would be quite an improvement (not that I would have any direct experience)
  14. Generations and decades change but airlines and the management will always be the same.

    Does anyone have input on 22-250? Co-worker of mine loves this round for woodchuck, Prarie dogs, squirrels. Ballistics seem fun, wondering if it's worth the add since I already have .22 .22 mag and .223
  16. The decision was supposedly made by WH leadership to defend the embassy vs BAF. As they could not bring in additional troops to secure both meant that existing resources had to be transferred to embassy security. We could not bring in more resources/assets in the midst of a "drawdown" because of public perception. Apparently a functioning embassy with no way to evacuate was considered better for us than a defensible position with a secure runway. What do I/we know we don't reside at 1600 Penns.

    I'm in when do we leave 😁

    Tomorrow war wasn't bad, kind of a different spin on bad unstoppable creature kind of movies, at the end I wasn't pissed at wasting 2hrs
  19. I was in charge of getting them built originally so I know what to strip off them to make it worth while 😉 Anyone know where serial number 3 or 4 ended up, I thought 4 was in Kandahar
  20. I figure if the C-27's sold for 40k then an A29 should be around a grand.
  21. How long until you can by an A-29 for scrap value? That might be worth a quick trip in country
  22. That is a really cool paint scheme
  23. Perfect for Leroy Jenkins
  24. If you like the Cirrus wait until you discover Lancair, 200kts cruise, glass in front, side stick and only $235k
