I recently spoke with a retired Air Force enlisted gentleman who had the privilege of working at Eglin AFB during his career. He got to speak with pilots of F-16s, 18s, 14s, 15s, 4s, 117s, A-10s, B-52s, C-141s, C-121s, C-130s & AC-130s, 135 types, B-1s, B-2s, plus some more and some foreign types. He said that out of all of them, the B-1 drivers were the maddest, craziest bastards who had a little bit of a death wish and a lot of no fear. They were flying bombers near supersonic 70 feet off the deck like a fighter while carrying nukes.
not sure, but try adding some mass to any rotators/joints.
Maybe like double it or somthin
I haven't worked on any custom gear in a while, tell me the results if able
helo I will be detonating a CBU-100 Rockeye cluster munition on the snake I found 20 minutes away from where I am. pls do not resist I have HARMS and AAMs and am dying to use them
I'm confused. It's a training craft, but is it a single seat? Is it for time building/proficiency after the pilot has already had introductory tactical jet training? How does a single seat training aircraft work???
the interstate interchanges in Texas can sometimes be three or four layers tall.
A giant tornado will usually try to kill you at least once a year.
Some Emergency Operations Centers in Florida are almost as secure as the gold vault on Ft. Knox.
Illinois is just a Minecraft Super-flat world, and the roads turn at 90 degree angles.
NYC is allegedly horrible, and they’re screwing over immigrants instead of helping them. (From what I hear, not confirmed)
why oh why is food and rent so expensive????
the fire department will hose you down in the summer under certain circumstances.
the road signs and traffic cones are free, as long as the cops don’t catch you.
social engineering can get you into just about anywhere
9 specific power substations being taken offline, either through error, mechanical faults, or physical or digital attacks, can cascade into the entire country losing power.
A black start after a major power outage could take weeks
services and society may break down before three weeks without power.
the nuclear reactors are literally hand-cranked to initiate start up.
again, our critical infrastructure is so damn unsecure. It is ridiculously easy to get into some places. Pray to God that the NSA and DHS don’t miss something or someone.
Random ‘Murica observations from a generic Kentucky town/city because I have nothing to do at the moment:
I live near Ft. Knox, which has Godman Army Airfield, so we see some aircraft. Mainly C-12s, C-17s, C-130s, and Blackhawks and Chinooks (including 160th SAOR variants). We used to have Apaches stationed here, but now they’re pretty rare. Every now and then the house shakes with distant artillery or firing on the range. When flying to the east around the Knox restricted area, we have a theater-view of the tank fields, but haven’t ever been lucky enough to see any vehicles maneuvering.
The 160th’s MH-6s, Army mobile ATC, and the golden knights skydiving team sometimes take over our FBO and do operations out of the local civilian airport. Sometimes they show us their aircraft/equipment. Civil Air Patrol can usually get exclusive tours, and sometimes even flights in some aircraft like UH-60s and C-17s.
As for normal stuff, the roads are relatively bad, both in design and maintenance. I usually don’t mind though.
Prices for everything have been on the rise, per usual. Costs for kitchen supplies and ingredients for small businesses have almost doubled, and in some cases tripled in cost over the last four years. Allegedly construction supplies have risen exponentially.
Where I live, our local police department is incredibly invested and involved in the community, so we really don’t have any crime aside from people stealing from unlocked cars at night. Our city recently experienced the first armed robbery in years, and the culprit was some idiot from Louisville.
Yes, of course, just about everywhere we go, people have guns. Not like crazy, it’s usually concealed carry. Some people here do fear mass shootings, but have taken active steps to negate or deter threats. Mental health is a concern in some schools, and many are either advocating for or taking steps towards mental health awareness and assistance. As for more direct actions, at one of the schools I went to, many of the staff were armed (we didn’t know at the time), and they had trauma kits and ballistic shields hidden in utility closets all over campus, just in case something very bad happened. The churches here often have law enforcement presence, and our local department and sheriff’s office are always present at any large event.
Walmart: it’s a city in itself. The parking lot is another world. No more on this point.
People: mostly nice, except some when driving.
Might add more later
here we go again

Seriously, are you good?
could we get a sit-rep? I've got a massive hemorrhage kit in my car if you need help

why on earth are there so many belts
yessss XF-90 brother!!!
Both, but mainly mobile
+1Mobile for building
PC for pictures/recording/some flight situations
I play with the Heading Indicator, not because I want to, but because of gyroscopic precession.
I'm confused. It's a training craft, but is it a single seat? Is it for time building/proficiency after the pilot has already had introductory tactical jet training? How does a single seat training aircraft work???
What on earth?
+1no worries, just another game.
+1people will leave, it won't end the world.
I'll still be here even if everyone else leaves. We can be lonely together.

Alright bud

uhhhh standby
I'll tag you unlisted
@126

@CrestelAeronautics
No…
I got a “concept drawing” tho…
boy oh boy do I love violating Title 49 Subtitle B Chapter XII Sub-chapter C Part 1542 among other TSA regulations
I'm very jealous of your adventures, friend. Have fun!
Also, that fighter jet is an L-39 I believe. It's a fighter-trainer, popular, and relatively cheap (Compared to other limited options)
+3Air: whatever spawns in
Ground: I love visually searching for and engaging the Maywar convoy with semi-vr CAS aircraft though
heh heh
