Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I never grow tired of Blue Angels photos. You can tell they're Navy because they have a second seat for Goose, or as we military guys call them, the Reo Grande.

Me neither. I mean seriously, when do you get all four Blue Angels in the same place at the same time?

Yes, it was 80.

I had never heard of McKayla is not impressed until 80 put it up here. We are on the cutting edge of something around here. Not sure what, but it's something.

BTW, I can't wait to go flying in this hurricane.

I want to say "Center, do you have any ride reports?"

Center: "There is only one airplane out there except for you and it's a hurricane hunter."

Me: "Can you get a ride report from him?"

I don't think the military is exactly happy with what's going on over here.

But we're not exactly happy with the military's war on Christmas either[2], thank you very much.

Just tell them to take their Mig 29s[1] and go elsewhere.

What are you suggesting? A circle jerk of regional aircraft? I think we've been there.

I think a lot of people have F-16s. As to the U.S. Military, I believe if those were U.S. Navy airplanes they'd say The Navy.

Heh, I thought they were supposed to say The Navy, too.

Yes, I'm sure I saw that someplace...maybe it was Top Gun.

I had just found that McKayla picture online and was looking for a way to use it. Your post was reasonably close enough to use it on! :)

As always, ftb made it exceptional afterward.

Speaking of which, Why does the Navy use powdered soap vs. Soap on a rope?

It takes longer to pick up. :D
