Until you have landed on 4 acres of US sovereign soil in the middle of the Persian Gulf, you really haven't landed anywhere.
Flare to land, squat to pee. Fuck off Air Force.

Pitch controls airspeed; power controls altitude. Eye-to-hook... keep playing with that power... eyeball the meatball.Swaye said:Until you have landed on 4 acres of US sovereign soil in the middle of the Persian Gulf, you really haven't landed anywhere.

Cool shit, Swaye! I'd love to get an opportunity to try this in a sim some day. I should bug my Navy buddy who is based out of NAS Whidbey. He's on the C-40 though and doubtful he could get me into a Growler sim. -

This past week, I gave Pumpy a lot of shit for calling me a pussy. But you can call me a pussy any day of the week Mr. Balls of Steel!Swaye said:Until you have landed on 4 acres of US sovereign soil in the middle of the Persian Gulf, you really haven't landed anywhere.

You see him working the throttle? It really is like that. You are getting calls from the LSO like "Power" and "Easy" which is helping give you an idea of the rate of movement you have around the glideslope. The meatball is fairly instantaneous but the LSO's can see start to go high or low (they have a camera with a GS line on it) before your brain can process all the variables. So that helps. But yeah, especially the first several times you do it it is stem power and muscle memory that gets you through. Hard for people to fully grasp all that you are trying to process - angle of attack, power, airspeed, glideslope, lineup: and all on the backside of the power curve as you suggest, so everything is 180 out from how you would "normally" fly.PurpleBaze said:

It does get easier as you get experienced, but at night it is always a butthole clencher. I could squeeze coal into diamonds most nights. Good tims. -

What always blows my mind is how you fuckers line it up in stormy weather. All that shit is hard enough on a calm day but I have no fucking clue how pilots manage with swells exceeding 30ft. Same goes for coast guard pilots and rescue copters.Swaye said:

Welp, the good news is the sheer size of the carrier prevents a good deal of bobbing, but yes, on really rough seas it is pitching about a bit which just brings the margin for error down to miniscule levels and tightens the window to about the size of a pin head. If it was easy, they would have little girls and Oregon Ducks do it. PUMP MY AVGAS DUCK!UW_Doog_Bot said:

There's anecdote in the Perfect Storm (book, not silly movie) about a Coast Guard SAR helicopter. Well, for starters, crazy they were even out there. Crazier still, when the rescue swimmer gets out of the door, he immediately puts his hand into the top of a wave.Swaye said:

Elko, NV. airline of death. Bachelor party weekend and for flight back they had to wait for a couple hours because it was too hot in the late afternoon to get enough fuel in the plane to get all the way back to Seattle. On the plus side it was a $39 dollar round trip flight and included a night at the red lion. Downside is the whores in Elko are about what you would expect.
Actually, that part kinda worked out. At the third whorehouse we were running low on money and we picked an old fat biker looking chick and 6 guys tag teamed her (not my cup of tea, I sat that one out) and as far as I could tell 3 guys just lubed up a fat roll and humped to their hearts content. Might be the best $12.00 I ever spent, now that I think about it. -

and somehow Yakima when I supposed to be going to Palm Springs. It was an insanely cheap air/hotel package, so I should have been a little leery about it. -
Sad that, Salem, a bustling metropolis of over 140,000 souls can't get any commercial flights. Doomed to be half way between Quooks and PDX I suppose.salemcoog said:Salem

Actually it's fappening. Not yet a done deal but definitely better than an 81% chance of service to Seattle, SF and Denver.YellowSnow said:
