As somebody who has shut a sour engine down a few times over inhospitable terrain, water, or in bad weather, I certainly give them credit.

Personally, I think it's a cultural problem that has it's roots in the fact that AC used to be part of the government, and the current employees still act as if they are. Frankly, you can't really blame them, because the government acts as if AC is still part of the gov't, too! Bingo! Plus, don't f...

My rulebook states that, "an individual must have passed their 50th birthday to be considered grizzled. No exceptions."

You're right SAR_YQQ. A shrink would say I was in denial.

So are you saying that there are no internal tanks used for the air to air refueling and that all that fuel is carried in the external pod tanks - it would be interesting to know how the system works and is setup and was it some of that plumbing that caused the fire -- or it was a guy smoking sitti...

The RAAF is interested in those used Spartans too, and Alenia is playing games there also.

Great news.

Totally agree!

Questions and answers about the requirement taken from Public Works and Services site http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/app-acq/stamgp-lamsmp/svtvn-rscfw-eng.html Since the plenary session on August 16, the industry consultation has generated much interest and the FWSAR project team is now ready to share...

You guys did a great job, but you should have had Joe, Rod,and Mikey drive a vic of cube vans down the active. Then, you could have landed gear-up on them.

I think each underwing refueling pod has its own RAT, and the transfer pumps are electric.

Not sure I could hang with him day in and day out! To big a personality!!!!! But I'd bet he could teach you how to stay alive in anything from an S2B to an L39!

rare is the one that doesn't reak of arrogance Clearly I have much to learn from you. The important thing is not the technical validity of your arguments, rather how much you schmooze someone.

In the private sector, we are expected to deal in a professional, consistent manner with people we might or might not personally like. That's something that's clearly not required in the public sector. Come on Colonel, while I enjoy reading most of your posts, rare is the one that doesn't reak of a...

Asking Jim Pfaff for medical advice would be like asking your refrigerator for diet advice. Sure, it's involved in the process, but I would be truly startled to get any kind of intelligent response. Sorry, I disagree. He has been of much help to me. It must be my sunny disposition. Doctors are like...

This whole thing is starting to look really ridiculous now. Looks like someone in the newsroom wasted no time jumping to conclusions and sensationalizing (special?) with no facts.
