  1. I never expected to see this one! Very cool.
  2. Good landing. Hope it's restored back to flying condition.
  3. Never let a 2LT lead your search party unless he's from OCS.
  4. You wish! I'll take you on and win! Typhoid, have you thought about writing a book on your time in the Hawkeye?
  5. Welcome back Paulo! Nice Hunters, thanks. Maybe someday they'll have a home to fly over!
  6. Probably a training weekend for National Guard.
  7. Well it's certainly been a while. Nice to see you again, Dave.

    WWII After WWII

    It's a cool website I happened to find last night. I'm sure most of you have already heard about it. It details the use of WWII era weapons, vehicles, and equipment after the war. Certainly interesting and I've learned a thing or two from it. https://wwiiafterwwii.wordpress.com/
  9. I'm completely in agreement with maintaining pilots with a focused mission set. Part of the reason I mentioned the ADF, were it to happen. And sometimes, well, begrudgingly, a helicopter mechanic will also drive an LMTV with a trailer.
  10. Not sure. In any case though, I'm sure there's still outdated, low hour F-16s that could be upgraded in AMARG, that have not been identified for the QF-16 program.
  11. If it happens, they might as well dig up all the Block 15 ADFs from AMARG and refit them instead of sorting out the F-16C/Ds in the rest of the service that are getting worn out from near constant combat since, well, 1991.
  12. As we'd say in the US Army: this is why retention is so low.
  13. Probably not, since both systems have different NSNs. I tried looking up each pod by the NSN but couldn't come up with anything that could be useful in difference. The only difference is probably weight.
  14. There's two weekend safety briefs that I'll always remember from two of my 1SGs. 1. Do the right thing and keep your integrity 2. Don't go to the hospital, don't go to jail, don't get dead, don't do stupid sh*t.
  15. At this point I will travel to Europe or Asia just to see and hear F-4s fly

      Yeah but I haven't see their F-4 on a schedule for a while.

      Or, you could head to the UK. They're doing Tornado F.3 flights until late October. You're looking at around £155 PP though. Dunno how much that is re the Yank dollar.

      Last I saw, the Collings foundation was going to cost me a few thousand to fly in either the Scooter, or the Rhino.

  16. Flankers as F-4 replacements or a total force conversion?
