    I had a 34 hour layover in Long Beach and was disappointed to learn that it is no longer there. I did get a cool tour of the Queen Mary while I was there though.
    I got a good view of the lights as well in October. They were amazing!
    This is awesome

    That’s awesome. Hopefully skill and luck wind up on his side so he makes it to be a pilot and doesn’t end up a drone operator.

    Well…he is a drone operator. Missed a manned slot by 4 points I believe it was. He was bummed at first but really stoked now that he has his wings and is 2 weeks shy of being operational. After 4 years he can resubmit his packet for a manned position. But, has found agencies are grabbing these guys up when they get out and start around 225k

    Oof. Do the unmanned guys get the same 10 year service obligation as the manned guys?

    6 year commitment. If he chooses to get out then, he’s already looking at guard and reserve options to complete his 20 and double dip on retirement.

    LOL. Many years ago, one of my engineering professors that had been involved in development of what was then next gen fighters said a line like that a few times. Said all modern jet fighters are just bricks with big engines, you can make anything fly.

    Enjoyed another year at Warbirds Over Monroe in NC. Great, fun weekend to finish off airshow season. Weather on Saturday was great, while Sunday was very dull and overcast. Nonetheless, still some great flying. Here's a few of my favorite photos...hopefully the quality doesn't get degraded too much. Enjoy!

    Turbine blades (and their cousin—the propeller) have always fascinated me by just working, essentially forever, while operating under extreme conditions.

    Great feat of engineering:

    They don’t exactly work forever, there are quite a few in the trash at work after a T-56 turbine overhaul

    I’m sure it was said tongue in cheek. Crank em up and they’ll go for a long, long time. It’s the start cycles that reduce their life.
