Saw the X-2 at Quad-A a few years ago. I've been watching this thing since they announced it. I think it's a cool concept, but I hope they take their time developing it and do it right. Time will tell...

DC's were the flavor back in the day. Sure does suck when the bubba's go tearing off the ramp with them still on. Those cords stretch a long way!

Depends. We used to provide DC's to the team leaders in back so they could monitor the multiple nets, and communicate with the aircrew. Then they started using Peltor's that integrated with their helmets, and they were compatible with our ICS. They preferred them so they wouldn't have to remove...

How does a question from a LEO equal harassment? The LEO asked a question, the OP replied and the LEO made a joke. Where's the conspiracy?

WSMV out of Nashville is doing a hack job on the story right now. Comparing the Seneca to the King Air or Queen Air... Good Gawd.

Yeah from what I hear at work is its going back like it was pre 2003 or so. My last trip was 2012, and BAF/KAF looked like LAX. Couldn't believe how it had grown. Sorry about the thread hijack. Resume the Intruder talk!

We shared a ramp with EA-6B guys at Bagram during early OEF. Man those things were loud! I could never go to sleep until after the first recovery right after dawn, as they would go into the break right over our compound. Very cool machine!

Well apparently it IS a big secret. Sorry, but that's how it's played in SOF. Need to know. I haven't seen them either, but hey, that's way above my level, and I'm satisfied with that. If you don't like it, wait 23 more years and maybe it'll be declassified and you can see pics of a dead bearded...

Umm, DNA? Samples have been taken from a good number of HVT's over the years. As for photos, they were taken. It's just the fact you aren't cleared to see them. Thing is, if it comes out in the next few years we all were duped, I know a bunch of guys that are gonna be pretty pi$$ed.

"I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it. He (UBL) is gone. Really.

Sac Arrow hit it spot on - Silent Professional. That's taught from day one, no matter what tier, team, service, etc... Also, it isn't about just one guy. There was an entire task force that did this job. One guy got the shots off, but he didn't get into that compound by himself. I realize what...

Correct me if wrong, but it's all about the RAIM, or lack thereof, right?

Yes I did.

Haven't seen Lone Survivor yet, but I'm intimately familiar with the event. ****ed me off that assets weren't allocated to properly portray our brothers who took part in the actual event. I respect the command guidance that didn't approve them though due to real world requirements, but is still...

That's bad...

C47B? I remember my CFI raving about the C20R he had in his Hughes 369/500C back in the day! Those engines are pure art.

When I was but a young CE, we did them every day prior to first flight, before we got the FADEC birds. Now we do a Power Assurance Check. Similar, but the FADEC is telling you what you have instead of the raw data you get with the HIT. I'd take the HIT any day! You have the RR engines in the...

Saw them at KHOP maybe 3-4 years ago. Incredible show they put on with the four ship demo. We were out on the flightline watching the practice show on Friday afternoon. I actually didn't mind staying late that day! Army always drops the ball on recruiting stuff like this. Think Silver Eagles...

HIT check.... That's something I haven't heard in a while! Doggone FADEC and all!

Depends on the mission as well. Are we busting tanks, doing CAS, recon, convoy escort?
