Look obviously none of us were there and it's easy to armchair QB the situation after the fact but come on man, you have to agree that a lot of these outcomes could be drastically different with just a handful of people willing to put themselves in harms way and take the shooter down. Forget concealed carry for a moment, just tackle the guy. Reference the Gabby Giffords shooting. According to reports this guy was walking down the aisles and stopped to reload multiple times...and they found him in the parking lot by his car! Nobody did anything. Disgusting. Again, I and I think everyone on here feels terrible about this tradgedy but it's my humble opinion that people are all too willing to be slaughtered in mass rather than stand up and defend themselves. Point is you don't even have to have a gun to make a difference. If you can run for the exit, stepping on injured people as you go, you can just as easily run for the shooter.- Trident university TUI increasing tuition rates
I have never, ever heard one single person say that they think a Master's degree is a good discriminator on a PRF or that in any way, shape, or form it betters the Air Force...in general it's a colossal waste of time and taxpayer money.

I think it would better to test a student's ability to sit there, STFU, and accept instruction and criticism with humility and not quibble. interrupt, and otherwise highlight themselves in a negative way.- WTF? (**NSFW**)

- Low Levels in Colorado
Ya I'm just talking more from the perspective of a local T-6 flying around, Obviously we're expected to play ball and follow local procedures. There's all kinds of things going on as to when you're IFR, VFR, MARSA, etc. Add a few international solo students and some transient U-2 drivers into the mix and it gets fun. Right, happens all the time here. If it's a clueless bug smasher we'll usually go fly circles around him and chase him out of the MOA. Not that a solo student in the T-6 couldn't be described in the same terms. The impression I always had was the Navy was more into the "make up your own low level" game vs flying published MTR routes, I don't know how much truth there is to that- Low Levels in Colorado
You would think....I've heard some pretty good arguments between approach and people who were supposedly "VFR". Laughlin's just class C but they'll happily vector you and assign you altitudes if they feel like it. Either there's some reg somewhere for local aircraft or nobody's had the balls to tell them to f^ck off. Unless you're a 172, then you can fly right through the heart of the MOA at any altitude you please. Me - "Cancel IFR" Approach - "Roger, IFR cancellation received" 69 seconds later.... Approach - "Descend and maintain 5,000, fly heading 160 Me - "F^ck off" Approach - "Standby...uhhh unable"- Cool Pilot Story
And then he got RIFed just before he hit 20 years...the end.- Low Levels in Colorado
I know right...I try that trick at Laughlin now and then, they still find me and give me vectors. Especially if you're a Randolph training squadron...I've seen 4 T-1s flying circles over one another because nobody signed out a f^ckin' entry time. That's funny to watch.- Low Levels in Colorado
Just be careful when you're exiting those IR routes up there, typically you can't get a hold of center until you've climbed a few thousand feet but they get pissy if you do so with out talking to them (technically you're only cleared up to the highest altitude of the last low level leg). It's a catch 22, so just squawk 1200 and climb to a VFR altitude until you can get a hold of them. Also, filing can be a bitch if you're taking off from a civilian field. Center also whines if you don't have entry/exit times on your flight plan and Duats won't accept them and weather brief won't put them in for you either. At least that was our experience. SR or VR routes are no biggie. Still a blast. Enjoy.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
