re: Baw on flight refused to lift carry-on into overhead storage for woman

People should help others when they can, but Jesus, people need to stop traveling with carryons they can’t actually handle as a carry on. If you can’t handle the bag, pay the fee and check it, bringing a smaller personal item for anything you immediately need.
This!! And not just bags that are too heavy. Bags that are obviously too big to go in the overhead bins on the small regional jets. Valet it plane side at no charge. Instead, these idiots block the aisle for everyone else while they keep trying to cram it in.

Not sure how my hometown of Loranger isn't on that list. Or another little town next to it called Husser. Both of them are very small.
re: Off-season thread - favorite punt or kickoff return for LSU
Posted by FlyingTiger06 on 7/31/26 at 6:17 pm to Powerman
Can't believe no one has mentioned the PP7 punt return vs UNC in the season opener for 2010. I was watching from the MWR tent in Kandahar.

This is the same thing we saw with D. Guice. Incredible as a spell back, not great as bellcow, due to their flashy, sack out style.
OK, this is just dumb. Guice was definitely capable of being a bell cow back and demonstrated it. In 2016 he led the team in carries, yards, and ypa (183/1387/7.6). Same in 2017 (237/1251/5.3). And both years were with what we consider mediocre at best QB play and a completely transparent offensive scheme. Injuries plagued him during his short NFL stint with the Redskins so he sat out all of 2018 after tearing his ACL and then despite tearing his meniscus in the season opener of 2018, he was sitting at 42/245/5.8 after playing in 5 games through week 13. Then he tore his MCL the following week and we know about the legal issues that followed leading to his release from the team.
re: Should this Air Force Major be Shot?

Not shot, but Article 15 and Court Martial with dishonorable discharge. I couldn’t care less about his political beliefs, but this dumbass worked for me in Iraq in 2019. I probably saved his arse from being fired and sent home by our 1-star at least 4 times. He was a moron then and this stupid stunt shows he’s a moron now.

Good to hear from you brother and hope things are going well for you. Never would have expected to cross paths with you on an LSU message board.

That's a really old picture (circa 2014 or so) and that nose art has since been changed. A/C 60-0061 was rebranded to "Man-o-War II" since then. Naming it the "Spirit of Aggieland II" was a stunt perpetrated by several in the leadership chain at the time who were Aggie grads. It was extremely unpopular outside of the cult crowd of Aggie sycophants.

I've known Evil since he joined the 20th Bomb Squadron in the 2004 timeframe. Great person and great aviator. I always enjoyed being around him. He will definitely be missed.
We probably have crossed paths. Were you aircrew, Mx, or some other AFSC?

I am well versed in OPSEC and nothing I’ve posted crosses that line. All is public information.

wonder which base, only two Minot or BAFB
Not to be rude, but it's in the thread title: Edwards AFB. It's where B-52 Developmental Test occurs. This particular jet was on loan to Edwards from Barksdale in order to test the new AESA radar that's part of the major B-52 modernization effort that culminates with the new engines turning them into B-52Js instead of B-52Hs of today.

How are the bros doing. I know it was a rough few weeks back in '08.
Most are still in shock and wondering what could have gone so catastrophically wrong to cause a crash right after takeoff. For all it's brutish handling characteristics, the BUFF is a "go oriented" aircraft and usually if there's enough lift to get off the ground, there's also enough smash to "zoom" the aircraft to pull up to give everyone a chance to get out (even manual bailouts for those not in ejection seats). Not second guessing the crew, just curiosity and shock.

Update: Official notice and a press conference was held confirming all 8 onboard as fatalities. Next of Kin notifications are still ongoing so the list of names hasn't been publicly released yet. I knew at least 2 of the crewmembers who were both Boeing employees after retiring from the AF. Please pray for their families, their colleagues and fellow service members, and the entire B-52 test community.

Hopefully this wasn't the recently re-engined one.
No, that’s not in flight test yet. But it was the one with the new AESA radar.
