Yeah, but all of the maintainers and pilots call it Viper. Just like with the A-10, it's name is Thunderbolt II, but everyone calls it Warthog.

I've personally seen pilots as short as about 5'4" (his callsign was Chickenhawk, great guy) to as tall as 6'5". The ACES II is up/down adjustable, even in the F-16, however the recline is not (I forget the exact degree but it's to help with G's and visibility). As far as your legs in the footwells, the rudder pedals…

You're thinking of Chad Hennings, 6'6" 287 lb DE who played for the Cowboys and flew with the 92nd TFS.

FUCK THE EA-6B! Seriously, it scared the ever living fuck out of me in Afghanistan.

Story time kids! Gather round, I got pictures too!!

This story happened a few days after a rocket/mortar attack on Bagram AB, but that's a story for another time. Anyway, the Navy had some EA-6B's at the base and one had taken off…

Think of it as a car company's test mule. They can't sell them as roadworthy vehicles, and Boeing most likely couldn't sell this as an airworthy passenger airframe.

Uhm, that looks more like an Airbus A400M and an Il-76 had a lovechild.

You know, I only drove once in NYC (immediately after the Thanksgiving Day Parade, yes I'm dumb) and have a couple endeavors to the Newark, Jersey City areas. None of his driving looks any different that the normal driving I saw during those trips, except that there's less traffic in Afroduck's video.

That's a great song to start the lap with though.

I know the ACES II ejection seats have a emergency beacon that automatically activates if the seat is used, and it also has a manual switch. I'm willing to guess that the SS2 has something similar (maybe even a black box type beacon) and the news chopper's audio feed also pipes in the aircraft radio.

I assume it's a locator beacon from SS2.

Damn.

I-195 From Neptune, NJ to Trenton, NJ.

I got deployed to NJ just before that bitch Sandy showed up. For some reason, the powers that be decided it would be smart for us to have hotels in Neptune (See Atlantic Coast), but work in the state Emergency Operations Center in Trenton (See Pennsylvania side…

It was Alex Roy in a new Polizei 144 car.

I happen to share a birthday with His Hoffness. This year, my wife bought me this shirt that I shall wear every July 17th.

We had a BOne that took a long track around Bagram one day. Heard a loud aircraft overhead, looked and saw it just putzing around like this one. Made a sweeping turn, popped some flares and then he lit the burners, swept the wings and was long gone in a VERY short amount of time.

"Entitled douchebag get's angry at airline because he doesn't follow the rules."

You got WA wrong.

Afghanistan - August 2002 - October 2002/ October 2003-April 2004

Well, I didn't fly 'em, I fixed 'em.

Pedro will be there.
