October 23, 200916 yr Audiohavoc- Good on ya for coming here to ask, but because we can't verify how innocent your intentions are, we can't help you. Chances are you can find what you need if you keep looking. Good luck.
October 23, 200916 yr Audiohavoc- Good on ya for coming here to ask, but because we can't verify how innocent your intentions are, we can't help you. Chances are you can find what you need if you keep looking. Good luck. No worries. I let ATC vector me for a visual approach. I am actually working my way toward joining the AFR, but I am a couple years out as I am finishing my degree right now. Thanks again, Audiohavoc
October 23, 200916 yr The only fun approach at the Deid is the mid-field visual anyway. only if you're not a vag about it. if you're not doing 300+ and quick roll to at least 45 degrees of bank, you officially classify as vag material.
October 23, 200916 yr only if you're not a vag about it. if you're not doing 300+ and quick roll to at least 45 degrees of bank, you officially classify as vag material. Agreed
October 26, 200916 yr He was referring to High Speed below 10,000 ft. Can 130s even exceed 250 kts? Most definitely. I've even seen 300 in a MOA. That was a blast.
October 26, 200916 yr only if you're not a vag about it. if you're not doing 300+ and quick roll to at least 45 degrees of bank, you officially classify as vag material. I would make that 45 into a 60 and then agree, descending break also qualifies one for vag status.
October 26, 200916 yr I would make that 45 into a 60 and then agree, descending break also qualifies one for vag status. dropping gear at the break = spreading your vag at the break
October 26, 200916 yr You guys arguing about what's "vag" or not in a tactical approach has got to have all the fighter guys on here alternately laughing or rolling their eyes.... A case of internet around the house to stop the pain....

A case of internet around the house to stop the pain.... oh, i'm sure of it.... but you gotta make do with what you've got, and for most people at the deid it's a 40 year old 707 or 707-300

A case of internet around the house to stop the pain.... Glad to give the pointy nose types something to laugh at, those who have actually flown against a C-17 (guessing there aren't to many outside Red Flag types or the Fresno Guard) aren't laughing quite as hard as the rest and have a bit of respect for its unique handling characteristics. Besides, I still think a 17 at 60 degrees looks pretty damn cool. Edited October 26, 200916 yr by bowe96

A case of internet around the house to stop the pain.... Roll your eyes if you want but at the end of a long flight when you know what horrors await you at the Deid it's the little things in life that give you joy, things like throwing the stick to the stop and rolling to 60 degrees in something the size of a Denny's. Puts a smile on my face every time. Thanks for the
October 27, 200916 yr something the size of a Denny's Say, I'm unfamiliar with that unit of measurement--what's the metric equivalent...? 'Nother for Jeep--*that* was funny...! EDIT to remove triple-posting buffoonery Edited October 27, 200916 yr by Jughead

October 27, 200916 yr If a C-17 is the size of Dennys, what does that make an E-8? And don't forget the added thrill of not knowing if the wings are going to fall off that old-ass hog every time you crank the yoke to the stop
October 29, 200916 yr You 17 guys do overhead breaks for fun? I thought you were required to do those to show everyone on the base that you had your wheels down...
October 30, 200916 yr You 17 guys do overhead breaks for fun? I thought you were required to do those to show everyone on the base that you had your wheels down... Ha Ha, well played, sir.

Big fat "2" to that one!
November 4, 200916 yr dropping gear at the break = spreading your vag at the break Which "vag" status do you gain by NOT lowering your landing gear at Bagram? Or maybe setting 4 engines on fire at Kandahar?
November 4, 200916 yr Which "vag" status do you gain by NOT lowering your landing gear at Bagram? Or maybe setting 4 engines on fire at Kandahar? The kind that keeps you on the ground.
November 5, 200916 yr Which "vag" status do you gain by NOT lowering your landing gear at Bagram? Or maybe setting 4 engines on fire at Kandahar? who said I was advocating landing gear up? I'm simply saying that if you're going slow enough to throw gear at the break, you're a vag.
