Looks like airdrop is a qual not worth having. Doesn't pay any more, with unlimited downside.

All I see coming from this witch hunt is fewer drops for the Army...

I hate AMC and strat airlift specifically.

So they're jumping squares and they're going to shoot the pilot for an off-DZ drop. Idiots.

Thank God.

I remember watching the AF and JAG team go after the mechanics after the 1995 Spangdahlem F-15 crash. Made me sick.... There were problems, but well above the level of any TSgt. Glad to hear of the acquittal.
