    I'm not an aviator but just wanted to say thanks to the AF guys who flew me from Kuwait to BIAP, and the ARMY UH-60 pilots, and Chinook pilots for all the smooth missions all over Baghdad. Flying in these machines is great!!! Thanks again!!!

    One of the perks of being an aviator: Have a FAM flight tomorrow (basically just go up and get training for pilots, and use the flight hours Marine Corps headquarters has alloted us for the month) Talked to my AC today, and he said we're going to fly down to Key West, land and go get dinner out on town. Just gotta love popping down to random places to get dinner!

    Not a pilot but quick question for the AF pilots mainly. Any of you guys fly against the radar threat simulators. Was red Force now its part of Range Threat. MUTES, mini-mutes band sim. Just curious I work on these when they come in for overhaul and was wondering how you all like them.

    Just the basics
    Not a mil pilot but definitely a c-152/172 pilot here in socal. I just crested the danger zone of 250 hours. My father was an AF/CANG pilot who flew C-97s mostly, Connies too!


    I'd take that job in a heartbeat!
