“Let’s see if you can figure out the difference between the odds 1 in 20,000, and 1 in 100, and which applies to your chances of death in a car.”

Operating an aircraft is significantly harder than an automobile. Despite this far more people die in cars each year than in planes. Why? Because of all the things I listed.

Dream big

You should get a 600cc sportbike if you like the scream. 14k rpm sounds and feels like the universe is being torn apart right under you.

Nope, just using publicly available footage to provide vivid imagery to my point. This is weak in comparison to the tamest of CRM training. You haven’t felt your stomach sink quite like they way it does when you listen to someone’s last seconds on a cockpit voice recorder. It’s best to not hide from reality.

I hope RCR accomplishes its goals with the expansion and Operation Vagabond Falcon. They seem like they are a good bunch.

CP - I’d go 2k for the auto to cover the swap cost, 4k straight for a manual. It may be a perfectly fine car, but I’m looking for a stick. No, I wouldn’t drift it.

I once heard Lt Gen (Ret) Donald Wurster, AFSOC commander at the time, give a speech about an aircraft crash that had happened a week earlier. There were life-impacting injuries and a complete loss of the aircraft, but no fatalities.

He said: “It’s a dangerous thing we do.”

Every time I step to a flight I honestly take…

Why the secrecy? Because they weren’t the WMDs that we were looking for. It’s a well known fact that we assisted Iraq with the technology. The administration(s) was too embarrassed and just wanted it to go away. Ever notice you’re the narrative changed midway through the war? They never found one single new or newer…

I’d bet my paycheck that people that high up are in constant preventative medications.

Yeah, they surely care about their fellow men. It’s all those women and brown people they can’t stand!

The article you linked also describes that ALL OF THOSE WEAPONS WERE MADE PRIOR TO 1991, AND WITH THE HELP OF GERMANY AND THE US!

Him and his PNAC cabal were itching to kill Iraqis for years before 9/11.

“One may conclude that, in the absence of a strong external shock to the United States—a latter-day ‘Pearl Harbor’ of sorts—surmounting the barriers to transformation will likely prove a long, arduous process.” - Andrew Krepinevich, fellow PNAC…

No, we sold them their program. It quickly fell apart and no new weapons were made after the very early 90’s. It isn’t leftist propaganda, it’s fact.

They existed, but the US and Germany helped them make the chemicals during the Iran-Iraq war of the late 80’s. There is, to date, no evidence that Hussein made any weapons domestically after that point. Educate yourself.

“I can’t even imagine how much money I’m going to make off the lives of brave Americans and innocent Afghans & Iraqis. But, I know it’s going to more than I could ever hope for.”

Really, it’s disgusting how nonchalant he is. Even blowhard Powell managed to look haggard. This man is the scum of the earth, and he’s going…

The VR headsets can’t get here soon enough. Just imagine watching the 360 views with one!

I like the watches and the gloves, but those sunglasses can go DIAF.

Do you show up to birthday parties and pop all of the balloons, all the while laughing hysterically?

Let me dream...
