  1. 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
  2. I figure if the C-27's sold for 40k then an A29 should be around a grand.
  3. How long until you can by an A-29 for scrap value? That might be worth a quick trip in country
  4. That is a really cool paint scheme
  5. If you like the Cirrus wait until you discover Lancair, 200kts cruise, glass in front, side stick and only $235k
  6. Maybe thats what Himat was really about.
  7. Personally I like the Pro size but I like to be able to zoom out when I want to see a bigger section, i also think the larger size is nice when dodging weather. I always used to fold my sectionals to this size so kinda what I'm used to. I have flown with folks using the smaller size and all I can suggest is like most aviation things it comes down to personal preference. I used my DC with an adapter for years as I had the single plug version for when flying rotor and used the two prong adapter when flying GA fixed wing. I always thought they were fine and actually preferred them only reason I changed to newer noise canceling DC is due to duration of flights being longer and new materials making the headsets lighter.
  8. I have questions 😁 especially for the Raptor pilot
  9. It's amazing to me how much less bulky and cumbersome the space suits are. I can only imagine some of the U2 guys look at those and thinking wishful thoughts.
  10. Maybe he was the SpecOpsFighterPilot.....🤪
  11. I was able to message with one of the guys who will be flying in the event last night, for anyone interested. Show center will be the WW2 memorial, he said anywhere on the mall will be good viewing, apparently the list of participating aircraft is still growing and is getting larger than what is listed on the website.
  12. I've been to Oshkosh five times flew in myself three of those times, always got the yellow dot 😉. A 250 warbird flyover though would even top Oshkosh
  13. Anyone have any insider info on this event, I know it has been pushed back to September. Generally wondering if it will be worth the trip to DC, possible best viewing locations,etc.. It sounds like a once in a lifetime type event, Oshkosh on steroids https://ww2flyover.org
  14. back when you could see your PW working
  15. Is Shaw far enough away to avoid canceling? May 16-18 Was looking forward to TBirds and Viper demo
  16. Truth about United Airlines finally comes out
  17. Is that a legit image or rendering?
  18. I actually met him once at a speaking engagement at Del Smith's museum in Oregon. An incrediblely quiet and humble man that only told the story so others could learn from it. Fair skies sir. Rip.
  19. The problem with trying to sell that watch on an AF forum is that it looks like it has Navy wings on the face. I would try the navy site, they have a tread just for watches as well.
  20. Just a general question on the F35 I have noticed in just about every photo of the F35 taking off that it is always in full burner, is that amount of thrust needed for takeoff or just the pilots preference?
  21. I am surprised no one has mentioned the new Godzilla yet... I thought it was a fun 2hrs, typical Godzilla and stupid humans but overall fun. Plenty of Ospreys in it and a neat B-2 hybrid that stretches belief, then again we are talking about 100 foot tall radiation breathing lizards.
