  1. I'm sure they'll get right on that, after fixing acquisitions.
  2. Call rapcon directly? They probably know how coord/notams works for their local space.
  3. Pretty stupid to argue F-35s are useless because they aren't the answer to $500 grenade carrying drones at 200agl. It's like arguing SSBNs are obsolete because they can't take and hold a hilltop.
  4. I don't think experience is a good metric here. If you have been through either, going through the other would be easier, since you would already have experience.

    Music

    Zeppelin, Queen, Guns n Roses are all great for rock. Mix it up with some Jazz here and there--Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, and Dave Koz. Beethoven or Linkin Park, it depends on the day.
  6. Ukraine, Gaza, Taiwan, and our own border are all valid and *separate* issues. Our political class continues to display its ineptitude by demanding package deals they know their opponents won't accept. They are not serious about trying to solve problems, but only about maintaining their own power. We need votes about single topics.
  7. I listened to a good chunk of the interview. I don't think those low-intelligence voters are likely to stay tuned after Putin's half-hour "history of eastern Europe" monologue right at the start. He kept playing up NATO's/US's duplicity and broken promises, then acted like he didn't care. (BS flag flying high there.) I'm thinking this might have actually been targeted at the Russian audience more than the western one.
  8. So, freedom of speech/thought is good...unless the government doesn't like it. Also, government is the source of freedom. Those are your arguments? I side with the idea that we, the people, have certain unalienable rights. Something about governments being instituted to secure our rights rather than the king "providing" them to his subjects. Always remember that a government powerful enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take away everything you need. As Stalin might say, "dark humor is like food--not everyone gets it."
  9. Because he is a free citizen and we are not at war with Russia? I'd actually like to hear Putin's "reasons" so that we can more accurately counter his propaganda/respond appropriately to his abuses.
  10. I don't have any specific hatred against Russian soldiers (the ones who don't commit war crimes, anyway). I also don't think Russia's invasion is justified in any way. So, seeing Russian tanks get destroyed and the crew run away seems like a win.
  11. Don't rely on the gouge too much. Go look at the source material the gouge references. Get good at word searching pubs, since they are electronic. Study the basics first (IFG). Then, think through a flight and what procedures/restrictions apply.
  12. I've seen a HATR reported on CNN with an animation that was in the wrong location and 90 degrees off from what happened....and "reporters" publish pictures of rubber bullets that were actually foam ear plugs (clearly excessive force from the local PD!)
  13. His desire to rebuild the USSR/Russian Empire?
  14. Can confirm preventing at least one dumb copilot from pancaking an aircraft. ...but don't call the Huey names. She doesn't deserve that.
