I'll just leave this here, this is the same song, just sung 16 years later...

ADS-B is via ground stations, not satellites. It does use GPS data from the GPS constellation, but aircraft have to be ADS-B capable, and flying in an area that has ADS-B coverage. Think of it as a wireless network, where the aircraft who fly into and out of coverage must determine and populate their pertinent data.

There is an AMRAAM in that photo, it's just extended on it's launch rail. Notice the white radome on the weapon.

Must have more info!

Remember, opening beer with your helicopter is better with 90s Eurodance. Like everything.

"This video is private."

Because a perfectly good helicopter is always trying to violently thrash itself to pieces.

Yeah, it was 4 tracks when I graduated UPT just over 4 years ago. They've cut the T-44 track in just the last two years or so, and right before the end of the three fiscal years of sending UPT grads to RPAs is when they formally stood up the URT course.

There's that word again, 'heavy.' Why are things so heavy in the future, is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?

Helicopters, conversely, fly due to a little known principle. They are so ugly, the Earth actually repels them, and there are no aerodynamic principles at work, merely repulsion.

It's also used for C-5 training, MQ-1/9 training, as well as C-130 training. Just depends on when you went to pilot training.

I think it's only 3 tracks now, Fighter/Bomber for the T-38, Heavy/Transport for the T-1, and Rotor for the Huey; the AF dropped Corpus Christi and the T-44 track. RPAs is a completely separate course, actually called URT for Undergraduate RPA Training, like Navs (or CSOs, rather) go through UNT.

Nope, not at all. The only aircraft in common use I can think of that does that is NASA's shuttle landing training Gulfstream. That's a plane dedicated to accurately replicate the operational profile of another plane. The T-38 flies like a T-38 and ONLY like a T-38. For a B-52 (and every other plane), they get

That's only in NASA's shuttle landing training Gulfstream. The T-38 flies like a T-38, and nothing else.

If anyone is interested in how these are used in pilot training, DON'T take your info from wrongzmodo, go do some research if you're willing to put in the time and effort.

You're kinda close, but not really.

Foreflight is so much better. Jeppesen's app is hard to navigate, slow, and very primitive.

Overheard this conversation while refueling before making a run to Kessel; make of it what you want...

Well, at least this time they referenced their prior story...
