    Aircraft and G-forces

    The G forces that the human body are not the only limiting factors. When you eliminate the pilot from the aircraft you also eliminate a lot of weight, to include: ejection seat, LOX converters, gauging and displays. You gain thousands of pounds for payload.

    Horrific WWII Statistics

    Dammit...............the more I think about it the more I get pissed off. If the American public cared enough about the war going on right now it would've been over years ago. Instead we would rather pacify those that hate us in order to be politically correct. We would rather try to make the...

    Horrific WWII Statistics

    well, as horrible as those numbers are that's what it took to win that war and we went out and did it. When I go down range I get an Intel brief which, as you can imagine, is classified. There are some things going on right now that don't put Americans in the greatest of light within the...

    For my Father in Law Paul

    The Patriot Guard Riders were absolutely awesome. They were at the funeral home when we got there, they had already set up flags all around. They were stationed at the doors and opened the doors for the visitors. They were at the church when we arrived from the funeral home and they were set up...

    Kidney Failure

    I am so sorry. I don't have children, I have dogs. They are my children and seeing them go is horrible. At least he's not in pain. One hard and fast rule in my house is: There shall be no watching of, or speaking of, the movies: 'Old Yeller', 'Where the red fern grows', or 'Marly and Me'...

    helping a military family in dire need

    fishy, it's not about what someone does it's about what they CAN do. Thank you for what you do. I'm sitting here in my hotel room and I just can't get the vision of this baby out of my head. I wish I knew if he was ok. This is why air crew drinks so damn much

    helping a military family in dire need

    I know I'll miss it. I actually thrive on the stress of the job. When I'm on crew and we're sitting around joking and smoking it's not about having fun. It's about relieving stress. On the way out we had to swap airplanes with March, AFB so we brought along a couple of young life support...

    helping a military family in dire need

    Last night about 2 hours before we left Kadena AB, Japan headed for Hickam AFB we got picked off to do an emergency Med-Evac out of Yokoda AB, Japan into Hickam. It was the critically ill 2 year old son of a young GI. Everyone hates at least some part of their job. I have to put up with a lot...

    been spending time with my mother

    Alexis, I am going to lose my father in law this year to cancer. I've gotten to know him a lot in the last six months and I'm glad for it. It's good that your husband is there for you. That's all I can do for my wife, It's very stressful for all.

    Nick name thread and why

    "Hurtin' Bill" because I love the blues. "Army Bill" because when I met my friends down in Shreveport they didn't know the difference between the Army and the Air Force (even though they live in an Air Force town). "Chainsaw Bill" Because I....well, it's a long story, but I was almost...

    In West Chester, Ohio (northern suburb of Cincinnati) there is an intersection that the city can't put up street signs because they always get stolen. It's at the intersection of Grinn and Barrett. Not too far from this intersection is Cox Road. There is a International House of Pancakes (IHOP)...

    Best de-greaser for old caked-on oil/dirt?

    It is still made but is now highly controlled. No more washing airplanes or hands with it. I've only seen it lately in parts cleaning machines and I think anyone within fifty feet has to wear a haz-mat suit.

    What kind of beer ?

    I drink anything but Budweiser or Miller. I drink only local craft beers or beer I brew myself. I used to be a Budweiser drinker. Over the last five years or so I have been awakened to other beers that have so much more flavor. I certainly appreciate what the big breweries have been able to...

    Representing FABO around the world

    thank you goldfish 65. When I was but a young impressionable airman I took very little to no pictures. Now that i'm older I appreciate the fact that I see and do much more than others and I like to share it and I want to have those memories when my time for travelling is done.
