Seminole fans could probably sit out this season.

Thanks man, I love it! I do wish the C8s came in manuals.

Worked on the Vette today at USAFA’s Auto Hobby Shop. Saw Fat Tony’s picture hanging up in the shop and asked the mechanic if he’s met him. He rolled his eyes and said he had and that “he hates being called the Supt.” I told him. Just call him Fat Tony.

If he got an IG complaint, SAF/IG is an entity that will force him to retire if it’s substantiated. They were the ones whose report got the USAFA Commandant of Cadets (Lesbian B-2 pilot) fired a few years ago since she’s apparently retarded and doesn’t know how abuse of power and GTCs work.

Matt reached out to me last year to be interviewed for my doctoral dissertation. He worked about 10 minutes away from where I live in Colorado and I met him at his office. Super nice dude, great insight for my research. Him Him 🥃

The 11-202 V3 and MDS V3 series literally tells someone what they can’t and can’t do. The 11-202 V2 and MDS V2 literally tells someone how they’ll be evaluated. If someone is too stupid to not understand what they can and can’t do, maybe they don’t need to be flying. In my experience of giving checkrides for over a decade the flyers that wanted to argue the most about they deemed queep were the ones who’s FEF looked like a mess with Q-3s and downgrades.

Is a chip indicator on an Osprey a "land as soon as practical" or AC's discretion during a training mission?

Death would probably be welcomed by him since he's already spent 21 years at GTMO and now will spend an eternity there. Him being confined for life is more torturous, which is a good thing considering what he did.

100% The wedding ring stuff was just going to be another U area on the Form 8 since the rest of the flight was the reason I handed out the Q-2/Q-3. In the MAF world Q-2s are very rare. One is either Q-1, Q-3/1, or Q-3'd.

"A deadly Osprey aircraft crash last November off Japan was caused by cracks in a metal gear and the pilot’s decision to keep flying, instead of heeding multiple warnings that he should land, according to an Air Force investigation released Thursday." https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/japan-osprey-crash-caused-cracks-gear-pilots-decision-112479875

The Sq/CC didn’t know about the NOTAM, the Sq/DO sorta knew about the NOTAM, and the Mishap IP knew about NOTAM, but didn’t think it applied to their sortie. One of the WSOs had been doing some of their After Landing checklist steps while they were still on the approach in weather. There are definitely training issues that are cultural within that Sq.

Have you seen their MC rates 😂

Are you touching up the tramp stamp as well?

That's real.

She was not a great pilot when I flew with her in IP requal at the FTU, but that was years ago. Interestingly, she's being put when she's on in ANG billets active duty.

https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-general-phillip-stewart-sentencing/ Shocker, his exec is married and the husband found out. It's mostly likely she lied saying it wasn't consensual sex during the investigation to get out of any adultery charge, which then added the Article 120 charge that walked him into a court martial. As someone who went through something similar, but wasn't retirement-eligible and got booted, I don't share much empathy since he'll probably retire an O-6 after a grade determination once he applies to retire. The shitty part is if it was true that his exec lied, she'll never be punished for it and her career won't be affected at all.

Biden came with a handful of darts. Trump showed up with a fucking sawed-off. Both are randomly targeting, but one is hit way harder. That was a mess.

MSNBC and CNN are in full meltdown mode saying Biden should decline the DNC nominee.

Impossible!

No, but a buddy is on his way to be the new Wing King (-135 dude). Great bro.

He’ll pay something. The court will liquidate his assets, defer his tax returns, and he’ll probably be broke and homeless after he’s out of prison. I think he’ll get charged with manslaughter, which in Florida carries a maximum of 15 years.

Just imagine if you had to do refueling in turbulence connected to a boom, staying in an envelope, like USAF pilots do…
