New USAF Aerial Demonstration Team

[WMUSIGPI]

Do you get to log the UAV time toward anything useful for entering the civilian world?

As for the Thunderbirds, let's see...
The USAF has a $3B bill to pay, so they're cutting and slashing budgets throughout the USAF. Almost everyone is losing 60%+ of their remaining flying hours for FY05. But not the T-Birds! After all, front line combat units should take a backseat to "recruiting" and "public relations". Oh,.. wait a minute,... the USAF is trying to CUT it's current force size, and is reducing it's recruiting effort. So, exactly why is it that the T-Birds are continuing on without losing a single dollar of their budget?

Contrary to popular belief, flying a UAV isn't completely safe. It's the only airplane out there that you could actually crash into yourself.

Badda Bing!

LOL

A good buddy of mine (Former Eagle Driver) did the Predator thing over in Iraq.
He was wondering that when he was "flying" a mission and he accidently spilled his coffee in his lap and burned himself, if he would get a purple heart.

If you didn't see this over at baseops T-38 guys have to list them on there dreamsheet now.

Take it from a T-38 IP...you are incorrect.

Dude, who ARE you, man? You seem to "know" a lot, but have zero experience. Is my diagnosis correct, or should I shut the f*** up?

I pick the second one.

Hey, did you mention you're a T-38 IP?

Thats what they said over at baseops.net. If I'm wrong sorry but I would go and post that since everyone that is in Talons is not happy.

When? Link the thread here or in a PM to me.

I'd be happy to eat my words if I'm incorrect.

Great. YGBSM is here to abuse without offering anything else. Way to go.

I figured that first hand information, aside from "I heard it on baseops.net" would be more helpful...hence the "this is who I am" verbage.

We all appreciate the maturity.

No sweat.

Although actually I was kind of hoping for more gratuitous mentions of a 170 knot approach speed, ejection seats, or CEFS or something.
