There are obvious exceptions, which is why i call it, at a minimum, a gross oversimplification.

I really dislike the "sum must be zero" idea, it's either wrong or a tremendous oversimplification.

Well I'm on PoA....and I'm going to win it...soooo... 100%? :D

I've only bought one vinyl record in my life. It was LL Cool J's Going Back to Cali.

I left Ft. Hood in August 1991 when our unit (part of 2AD) was deactivated and reflagged 2-101st at Campbell. Anyway I just bring up Tony because he was a friend of mine in 2-101st and oddly enough is a coworker of mine now. He mentions the OPC shootdown on occasion, I think a good friend of...

RV10flyer, did you know a guy named Tony Taylor? He was a 'Hawk crew chief in Turkey at the time of the shootdown. Actually I think he was in that unit.

I'm an Ameritrade customer, and about a year ago I invested quite a bit with Amerivest. They manage my portfolio for me, and they don't get commission based on trades, they get a percentage of what they earn for me. They made me a little over 20% in 2013, so I'm not complaining! The don't...

Some of our helicopters have an immersion switch for the ELT (actually, something like 4 immersion switches). That is, when the immersion switch fills with water, the ELT goes off. I take it fixed wing aircraft do not ever have this option, even for aircraft that routinely fly over long...

We use a Barfield tester: http://www.barfieldinc.com/content/air-datapilot-static-testers

Oh goodness yes. I was actually in a "virtual squadron" with Richard Hawley, the developer behind Combat-Helo.

If memory serves their contract was to provide a desktop trainer to help ANG A-10A pilots transition to the A-10C, so I don't think it was the full-blown flight simulator, just a desktop avionics trainer. But still, there is definitely a government contract in there somewhere. ;) I was sad...

The A-10 should be replaced by Super Tucanos. :D

It is absolutely not possible that this airplane is in Pakistan. I do not understand how anyone could believe that it could be.

I'm not sure that's called "playing". If you enjoy Dwarf Fortress, you must really love QWOP! http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html Anyway, I enjoy time sink games when I'm overseas, like Civ V, and I'm currently re-playing Baldur's Gate. Also, I'm on the beta tester's team for Eagle...

Tail booms com off fairly often during catastrophic sudden stoppages. It's due to the torque from the drive system.

You mean Austria? Texas is Australia.

Well, you can take out a few seats? Other than that, reading comprehension failure on my part (or wishful thinking?).
