Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor Haha. That made me actually laugh out loud. Maybe I can dual qual in that and the 26? Played the baritone and trombone for years.

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor This November will only be my second year. I had thought about that, but I really like being in Texas :-).

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor Haha. I didn't deal with a recruiter until about 6 months in to my CF of a process. Found the job and got all that done on my own. The guys in the board mentioned something about flying both so I assumed...

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor PPASEL with about 130 hours

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor Wow, that's awesome. What did/do you fly?

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor Very interesting. Well the platform in the job posting and on my papers say RC-26 so at least I'll be manned. I'm not really interested in time building for the airlines, I'm doing this specifically to do...

Re: Swear words, signing my life away, drill, paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwor They mostly fly MQ-1 transitioning into MQ-9s but also fly RC-26s. My main job is the 26 but I'm pretty sure I'll get to fly the MQ-9 too.

Finally a member of the Texas Air National Guard! :goofy: After almost a year from interview to enlisting I am finally on my way to getting my wings. I will be flying with the 147th RW out of Ellington Field once I make it back. I don't know my dates for OTS yet but they're hoping for July...

It seems like you have a better chance of doing more damage to the crank/engine with the props slapping the ground under full power than if you just let it all stop at idle power?

I was living in Oklahoma a few years ago when they passed their open carry. All the same arguments of guys trying to show off their penis extensions and scaring all the "normal" people were made. In my two years after the law passed I did not see one single person open carrying. I'm all for...

The Texas STOL Roundup is going on this weekend. I'm going to check it out for a while on Saturday. Any one else going? http://www.texasstolroundup.org/

Hook it to the truck and drive it around? I guess wind tunnel time is too expensive with a cut budget? Sounds like something I'd do.

You're extremely lucky. My F-16 instructor buddy still has to do a checkout with every FBO that is anywhere close to local. I reckon he knows how to handle the C-150 just fine.

The problem with that is that you have to pay the "you didn't spend enough money with us last month, you have to fly with the CFI again before you can use the plane" fee for a bunch of different FBOs.

And that's just in the first 5 minutes

If you're ever in Texas, there are a few operators that do 2-3 day liveaboard trips to the Flower Gardens for a reasonable price. I've never been but I hear it's a nice trip.

Yea, I'm not too hopeful. If anything it's a good way to waste a Saturday. I'm not taking anything unless I can steal it. I need to find one of those dealer numbers :ihih:

There is supposedly an open to the public auto auction in Round Rock tomorrow. The list looked like there might be something useful. I might go check it out.

Car's busted so...6 girls on your motorcycle? I'd pay to see that! :wink2:
