Has anyone seen Pappy Sinclair? I thought I saw him yesterday but was not sure.

Can you handle the music?

Can we please get an, "anyone quoting Top Gun on this forum will be summarily outed as the dork that they are" ruling from on of the moderators???

Closest I ever came to hitting another jet was descending into PSP, with a flight of two El Toro F/A-18's popping up through the TRSA off of one of those IR routes. We got them visually about the same they did us, we both turned slightly right and passed. Close enough to read the tail codes.

Hey guys-a quick shout out to the TRACON would have made a big difference.

C'est la vie, no blood, no foul.

Is that Chappy's older brother?

The inverted flight tanks on the F/A-18 will not allow that manuever.

That's actually a true statement.

That's actually a true statement.

Fuel tanks can prevent maneuvers?

 

[ExAF]

Not Really

Fuel tanks can prevent maneuvers?

No they cannot actually prevent the maneuver, but they may punish you if you choose to do it anyway. And yes, I get the original humor.

 

[RedDogC130]

Yes he is
