Anyways… the guy almost got two swings under canopy. So that’s good news. By the looks/sounds of how it transpired, clearly a thrust issue. After initial contact it’s very probable that something could have come loose causing it to spool up and throw the nose down. As for the F-16/F-35...

Just search Reddit my friends, you’ll find what you seek.

We will be there in addition to my parents. As will both jet botes. Cheers.

No such thing as a perfectly good airplane is my first reason.

It’s a double edged sword. If NATO countries do not provide some sort of weapons support, the country falls almost immediately. If you do, then you allow the country to have a chance. Case and point being the NLAW’s and Javelins that have been effective against Russian armor. We have also...

Not sure about Hill but Nellis regularly has different exercises. Red flag, green flag, weapon school, the list goes on. Also the units there are not primary deployment units. If you’re meaning Kirtland and not Kirkland, we don’t have F-16’s stationed there. Tactically speaking, we would use...

At the end of the day, you can make your assumptions as to who will make what move next or how it will all play out. Either way, it’s not good. We have numerous assets in the region as a deterrence should this get even more out of hand. That’s all that I’ll say about that. Standby to standby.

8 years 6 months and 22 days until the Air Force starts paying me that retirement. I guess I need to start figuring out what I want to do when I grow up and am retired at 38.

Here’s my take: our manning is not in a position where this would be necessary. Having a conscripted force that has to do mandatory service would be nothing more than bullet magnets on a battlefield. They would not get any specialized training due to the sheer cost of training said individuals...

It’s great. Easy to use, comes with a 1 year free membership to iFIT which is cool too.

We picked up a row machine a few weeks back from Costco. Best purchase ever. Have fun!

Sweet! Hit me up if you want to come look at an airplane. those aren’t too bad then. We are looking forward to it this next year.

Come summer we will be making at least one trip down there. We will more than likely be doing our day trips up to Navajo due to the fact we are on 550 already. It’s a bummer the lakes from Albuquerque are that far away.

$3.39 here on base in Albuquerque. Was $2.99 just a few weeks ago

Definitely a workhorse and did more than was needed. The upgrades made sense for the time but the C17 was/is a much more versatile platform. Goes along the lines of how the legacy 130’s have all but been retired for the J model. Aircraft looks the same, but the internals and everything else is...

The 141’s were dinosaurs. Replaced by the C17. The C5 was upgraded to continue heavy airlift just as the 130 has been upgraded to continue tactical airlift.

I’m sure you have some unused points at a hotel in Rota. I miss having FE’s.

Much appreciated. I’ve got the first round sir.
