They probably were both arguing over who gets ATIS.

Dude, what if the fighter that launched that drone didn’t have to be the one controlling that drone? Like via some kind of network, information from another airplane could be passed to the drone? Nah, won’t happen in our lifetime.

FDNY is the only data point within the last few years so far, and he is significantly less (about 40-50 as 2020 pointed out). Otherwise, agree, it was pretty constant from your 1989 to about 2012 ish based on available data.

You’re also just an idiot if you have been around airplanes and can’t look at a CRJ and an ERJ and know one from the other.

In 2009 I had just under 190 flight hours for UPT.

Are they potential threats the Air Force pays you to know?

They’re not buying it for units whose primary mission is night 1 or S-400 territory; their primary is defense of the homeland, where F-35 is quite overkill. Augmenting expeditionary is second.

They’re out to lunch. The EX is pretty good replacement for what the stateside ANG C models do. They want to use F-35 for something the 35 would not be necessary for. In the end, I disagree with their analysis it will be more expensive. Did LockMart pay them to write that?

Treaties and agreements fall on legislative branch, no?

Nah, just messing with you at that point. Even with Merc it’s interesting when Bottas is on vs inconsistent. And the driver variability is super interesting at Red Bull, although some of Albon’s confidence was probably destroyed both time he was top five and got bounced by Hamilton. I’ve enjoyed the McLaren/Renault/pink Merc.

Nah, Merc is factually boring. The midfield is fun. Get over it brah.

Frankly one of the largest money losing ventures of the USPS is this...courtesy of the UN still giving China 3d world nation postage discounts: As U.S. Postage Rates Continue To Rise, The USPS Gives The Chinese A 'Free Ride'

I’d say it just adds to the list. Some Lt Gen just sent me another survey to fill out; I love more material. I actually think the cultural “only pilots need to know if that’s a Russian airplane” is equally disturbing.

Should have done their research when they had the chance.

*super angry that a 14N can’t tell a USAF single engine from Russian twin-engine*

I think it’s laughable that Senators are now decrying the Postmaster General...after confirming him unanimously 89-0.

But OP, again, if you don’t want to “spend time in a vault” and have to brief/debrief for a lot of time versus the time actually spent in flight and be held accountable for your performance please stay away from ACC/AFGSC.

Pretty soon we’ll be behind on the mineshaft gap.

7-day opting does force you to set a separation date, and from what I remember reading of the regs a few months ago you cannot PC with a separation date. You’d have to Palace Front at that established time. I’ll check tomorrow.

I believe it is used by Soviet bloc countries in the Indian Ocean to conduct special operations and anti-surface warfare. It has a wide range of capabilities, to include detecting and tracking carrier groups as well as employing the Exocet ASM.

That is a terrible list for not wanting to spend time in a vault.

NASCAR is dumb, but the “boring” that brick talks about is a legit critique because F1 has the potential for much more strategy implications if they a) forced the teams to use softer tires so that two stop was a more probable thing (like this weekend where you get an unlikely bold strategy to work), or b) had different rules with respect to the aerodynamics so the wake wasn’t so huge that it’s a nearly static sport because no one can get close enough to pass (or afford to research the car to compete). Even F1 has figured out they need changes because they’re too static during races and have one team who has won everything for like 8 years; that’s the whole force behind the rule changes. It’s sometimes brilliant right now, but it has the potential to be much better. Or you could get on the thread just to nay-say whatever brick says, which is as boring as NASCAR.

I cannot explain the why, but motorcycle racing has no draw for me despite the time I will take to watch F1.

Yep. I thought we had kinda gotten better about this in the last few years, and then I watched a person in our wing who is tactically dangerous and useless, who prioritizes qweep above flying at all junctures, and essentially needs as much flying oversight as a CGO that you give to senior officers get pushed for tons of awards and receive a top push line.

What economic indicator would you use, and how does the DJIA relate to the free market being a more sound judge of economics than the government since the DJIA is only 30 companies and not the entirety of the concept of the free economic market of capitalism?
