Default What happened to the P-8 thread...

...that got started last week by a P-8 pilot? I really enjoyed it; probably for the wrong reasons, but, oh, well.

Seriously, was the thread deleted by the mods? If so, why?

Was that the, "I want to build time for an airline in a P-8" thread? Only saw the original post, and knew that thread was doomed.

Haha I saw that too, but that post was in the P-3 square tail thread and it was removed.

I think the OP was referring to a thread about a P-8 pilot who started a thread saying "I'm a P-8 pilot, ask me anything" and the conversation probably got a bit too deep into capes

"Ask me anything?" How far away can you track an Alpha?

Yeah, the thread was doomed from the start.

Ask anything about a P-8....ok,will P-8 pilots be hazed to know more about systems than any other 737 pilot on planet Earth? Like....draw the generator wiring diagram by heart, or memorize, "Anticipates alpha shaft position and rotation to pre-position the pilot valve and prevent overshoot and undershoot". "What's the power source for the _______ (fill in the blank)?" AACCCKKKKK!

Where are the hiding places for exotic cigars and booze? Where does the off duty pilot sit, unbelted on a radar cabinet or circuit breaker bench?

Microwave or convection oven? Still a massive coffee pot that will take chem wipes as alternative filters?

Is there a sextant port that rattles like hell at high speed?

Can you adjust the syncrophaser to put the bulk of noise/vibrations on top of your TACCO?

SELCAL is for suckers....real pilots ummmm.....let their NAVs monitor HF's until it's time for a position report, at that point you take the radio because you can finally put PTAPTP from T-34 RI sims into practice.

Does HYD system 2...FEAR the Bombay? Does Monkey Sh!t still Taste Awful?

Stop, you're giving me a headache.... I'm sure the P-3 community will find a way to bring the minutia to the P-8 community.
