re: B-2 Spirit Flyover.

Currently driving down that way to support it from the ground. Been trying to get one at LSU, but I’ll have to settle for this. Geaux Tigers!
It was actually me today. It was my last flight in the B-2 before I move in a few weeks to fly a desk. It was a normal training sortie that apparently caused quite the ruckus on social media.
For those that will be there for the opening game Friday, there will be a B-2 fly by (as of now) around 12:58 pm.

I think that’s what happened when they talk about the other Russian killed by a 9mm at close range. Seemed to be that guys calling card.
And women have been in the Marines since 1918. See you at Sonic next time we are both in town.
Guys, quit feeding the troll. I’m in the military, and probably couldn’t pass it. And I’m ok with that. Y’all are absolutely right about doing it back to back, under pressure etc. More mental than physical. There’s a reason he ain’t in the military but still posting in this thread.

As Teddy Roosevelt said:

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
He did. Guy was a friend of mine, awesome guy. Being in the military and planning a few air shows, the circle is small. Awesome guy, awesome family, heavy hearts this weekend.

I know the B1 got built, but was it ever used in combat?


Yes, so much that it broke the Bone. It wasn’t designed to land with a full load of weapons and after so many years in combat, not all of which they dropped, has taken its toll on the jet.
It does, but he’s talking about the B-2. One of they guys on that jet is one of the guys I was talking about earlier.
Not necessarily true.

Your injuries are evaluated and then a decision is made. I know a few people who have survived ejections and are still flying, and I also know a guy who didn’t fly again because of injuries sustained from an ejection.

Not all ejections are created equal.
Is that the one put on by the Cheetahs at Randolph?

I was there one year and a Lt wouldn’t let Ross Perot, the guest speaker, into the parking lot because he didn’t have his pass. It was funny when somebody stepped in and gave him some mentoring on the spot.

I was lucky enough to get picked up in December. Currently in airbus sims.


Very nice. Congrats!

Nice pics as well. I’ve got a few hours on the first pic posted.
Yep. Currently serving my penance in DC. Got screwed by Covid (had a date of separation summer of ‘20, hit submit on my apps March ‘20). I’ll reevaluate after this assignment. You?
Been there, done that. And while it wasn’t fun, you are correct.

You know why that jet is buttoned up? Because the fricking FAIPs that flew it down from Columbus got too drunk in the FQ last night and were too hungover to show up and let people see a T-38.


As they should have been.
I also hate how it seems every time a character picks up a gun, there’s no round already in the chamber.
