New USAF Aerial Demonstration Team

[WMUSIGPI]

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

 

[Huggyu2]

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?

 

[psysicx]

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.

Oh, you got it. I'll keep that in mind for my future posts. Thanks for keeping me in check, Yeager.

 

[9GClub]

Yeah by the time I get eye surgery they won't need me anymore.....

We could save a lot of money-- and have a heck of a lot more fun-- if we quit this JSF/Raptor crap and instead mass-produced some JN-4/Camel/Fokker D-VII/SPAD action. With Remington 870s. Through-the-prop.

And did I mention unsynchronized.

 

[YGBSM]

Oh, you got it. I'll keep that in mind for my future posts. Thanks for keeping me in check, Yeager.

I have no doubt that you will.

Hey, speaking of being abusive without offering anything, can you tell me how you were helping with this comment about psysicx? Thanks in advance.

Don't worry about it dude. I've been trying to figure this dude out for a while. He PMs, IMs, and emails random questions all the time, but never responds to mine. So whatever...he might be Boyd for all I know.

A few months ago, I got Physicx to come clean: he's in college, aspiring to fly something, but has little or no flight time yet. But, it took some badgering to get him to open up.

 

[psysicx]

Actually I have flight timenot a whole lot 500 hrs or so.I did go back to college to finish my degree.

CEFS is a monkey. How about that?

 

[Skeet Shooter]

Fury220, you're a dork.

Didn't I recently fly circles around you while you desperately over-G'd your "steed" trying to keep eyeballs on me in some MOA over some god-forsaken, long-forgotten UPT base somewhere in the south?

You need to lighten up, take a cross country flight somewhere exotic, have a cold beer and talk to a real woman.

I think you'd fit in PERFECTLY with all the GH "pilots" out here. Make sure you DO put it on your dream sheet.

You're right about one thing, man...I DO need some time off.

Dork? Yes, that's nothing new.
Flying circles around me? Chances are, yes...I'm still cutting my teeth here.
God-Forsaken UPT base? You couldn't be more right, brotha. Maybe I should have joined the Navy. NAS Pensacola is looking GREAT about now.

Dam-n guys, lighten up. I'm still bitter over this whole FAIP thing. Can't you tell?

Sweet, dude. I was just wondering, and, at long last, I finally know. I can FINALLY sleep now. ha.
