  2. The difference is not huge. KC-46 MTOW: 415K vs. 126lbf is about .3 & the KC-135R MTOW 322K vs. 84lbf is about .26. I'm the difference becomes more beneficial in hot places. Also I thought I heard from someone that they will not really ever be able to use all of those 18 pallet positions for some floor loading reason? Does anyone know if they are updating those gameboy cameras they installed so the boom can actually see worth a shit?
  3. I feel like 69-96% of us want out of Afghanistan. Apparently the draw down starts next month. Time to get out!

  5. Did it before when they forced us to wear ABUs if we were not flying until I got shut down for not wearing the UOD.
  6. Be careful if they have a UOD defined then you might get in trouble for not wearing it. Which is crap, if these damn army flight suits become mandatory I'll just end up wearing my blues all the time.
  7. I was thinking this was a meme thread, where did the daily pic (NSFW) thread go?
  8. Yes! I think Omega stopped doing the mil discounts?
  9. I was talking about the CSAF video. I think the security cam footage was released days after the accident.
  10. That is safety privileged, so it should not be.
  11. I was just about to say that I thought a bunch of Aero Clubs had T-34s before they shut down. Is that website up to date because that T-34 rental cost is as much as a 172 would be at a lot of FBOs. I think there is a good sized group of Vans RV owners on here that can attest to their relatively low cost to own and the huge grins they provide. Plus then you don't deal with the FBO/Aero club queep.
  12. Look into the USAA realtor referral program or whatever they call it now. They give you a good chunk of cash once you sell/buy and they let you choose from a few realtors.
  13. Why can' t we bring some heritage back.
  14. At least we stay in the right country.
  15. Lmao But seriously KC-10s suck at AR with 135s... And you guys cant rendezvous worth a shit. ❤️
  16. If anyone wants to re-hack your cyber awareness training.
  17. This is a god damn waste of money for no reason. Make the shoes wear blues and let us keep our bags.
  18. Is this the talk of every squadron around the AF right now? Because it seems like everyone is talking about it where I am at. The dudes that were on the fence about staying in for a staff job are pretty much saying screw this because it forces them to just about 20 years (if they return to flying) with all the new changes.
  19. This and manpower numbers will look better if there are less people in Requal training and more staying qual’d in their current job for longer periods.
  20. So will we be forced to wear the 2 piece flt suit or has that not been clarified yet?
  21. Contractors = no need for long term govt healthcare and other expensive shit also.. Uhhhh
