What's up everyone?

I've been up in the Viper before (I'm Intel, and we go on mission rides). Anyhow... I am planning and going on the following rides...what a WEEK!
I just wanted SHOUT OUT ON HERE! This will probably make waiting on pilot training even HARDER!!!

-Monday-TI (Tactical Intercepts), against Hornets and Red Air Vipers!!

-Tuesday-SEAD (4 Ship) escorting 2 strikers (SJ Eagles) against 4 Red air vipers(Doing a little DCA(Def Counter Air)). The most work on my part.

-Weds-BFM(Basic Fighter Manuevers) against EAGLES!!

WOOOHOOOO!!!
I'll tell you how it is!!!

It must be nice to get 3 rides in one week and not even have to fix them. Since the people who put you in the air and spend countless 12+ hours days/night working on them; could possible end their 20+ years not even seeing one.. Twisted Evil

change jobs Smile

I would not rub it in to much, you might just find your jet jet broke for some strange reason. Like FOD in the cockpit or bit balls popped. Crew chiefs can make or BRAKE someones day, Seen it done many a time.

Hey cdhstang, I got a flight as a maintenance troop right there at the 162nd, your right it's not always fair but stop whining and win Airman or NCO of the year. WILZ you lucky dog have a blast dude!

I've done that to a pilot once Twisted Evil

so having it happen to a "noner"(sp) would be much easier. Wink

must be nice to sit in an office for 8 hours with a lunch break and gym while we fix the jets your flying in. yeah you got your rides but dont rub it in. check your delta-P's before you go up because i heard they like to pop sometimes

a simple magnet can pop a bit ball. I know I've done it. Delta-P's just need a slight tap sometimes. Just remember the pilot doesn't taxi whenever he/she wants. They can't move unless the Crew Chief says he can.

OOOHHHH YEEEEEAAAAA, A simple electrical disconection could cause you to loose your flight too. I have done them all... and more.

D@mn Wilz, you lucky SOB! Laughing

Whose butt did you kiss for three rides, three days in a row? Laughing

I'm looking to go to OTS with an Intel slot. I may need to pick your brain buddy, if you don't mind. Wink

And guys, lets try to keep this sabotage talk to a very dull roar, eh? After all...

To Err is Human. To Forgive is NOT ACC Policy.

I've never popped a delta-p manually during a incentive ride. The filters get clogged delta p's pop its happens. For some reason they pop more during non-important incentive rides from what I've seen.

WILZ congrats on the ride I know it will be blast. Make sure you bring your puke bag and remember if you get the jet dirty you will clean it. As you take off in that jet keep in mind an 18yr old kid who makes 12k a year is the one who put you there.

have a personal friend who spent four years at a federal prison in south carolina for doing what the above people are talking about.

Please tell the electricians the truth. I have no problem re-connecting a cannon plug during the seventh hour to help our eight hour fix rate. I have a hard enough time figuring out the WD's as it is!!!
