Is SRT Murican for AMG? Inquiring minds...

MLRS can fire guided ordnance.

Which is why I liked playing defence. Crushing attackmen into the crease was so enjoyable. although I did have a couple of bruises with the words BRINE backwards in them. Taking a shot to the body sucked.

Shoveler vs Pink Pummeler! Who will prevail?

Vietnam era epithet.

"A tanker capable C-3 will also be able to free up Super Hornets to do what they do best, kill things and pass gas to the strike package on the way to their targets."

What they really need to do is carry a Super Hornet on each pylon to the target, release them and then carry them back. The F18 is renowned for its short…

Unless you were talking about the Nike sites, they can be googled. Now I have to ask my friend/private pilot about the heli. Could have been a National Guard helo.

Nah, it actually happened to a private pilot. Before HHS was an agency.

Top Gun was a beer commercial. Note that I watched it with a bunch of F14 drivers and test pilots and they thought it was a comedy. I still thought it was a fun movie.

Fun fact - if you get too close to the exclusionary zone you can find an AH-63 Apache helicopter on your wing. This is bad, since it means your flight plan has been altered to include landing somewhere else. Also fines and other things.

A long time ago, there were some Nike sites around the Washington area. One of…

I know Turkey had HARMS, but not so sure about that one. Maybe a SOM?

I saw these on ships in the 60's. I was little and thought they were some kind of life raft for sailors if the the ship sank. Great read.

"shear" creativity, I think the word you need here is sheer.

" Syria locked up F-16s patrolling in southern Turkey with an SA-5 surface to air missile battery."

Square Pair, say hello to my little friend.

I am very proud to know the first Pave Low pilot into Iraq when the Gulf War started.

A dozen deaths does give an idea of the preventable deaths that airbags are intended for. That reads odd, okay, airbags not deploying in the dozen deaths mentioned gives us an idea of the impact that airbags can have on safety.

Chiefs have a separate mess as well.

Also the Chiefs have their own mess, separate from the officers and enlisted.

A friend's dad was one of the lead engineers on the F-111. Damn, that plane is STILL awesome. Every time one flew over Tampa Bay with the afterburners on, the base would get swamped with phone calls about a plane on fire in the sky. I still remember living at Pax River when the F14 was being tested there. Later there…

Sub is just a top that's down...

When a life long friend passed away a few years back, we (those who had known him since high school) put together a big red M on white flower arrangement. I assembled the Mach Five myself and put it on the flowers for his funeral. Best tribute ever. we loved that cartoon, and the cars, and the ridiculous hyperbole of…
