#2 is also impressive. The size of the aircraft vs altitude!!!!! They know their birds!!!..........Cheers!

This had to be the most impressive. For that exact reason.

Somewhere in youtube or liveleak there is either a black herk landing or doing a flyby, and the ground troops are chasing it in their truck or humvee.

(I gotta start saving those to faves)

More pics

The panther, lions, and tiger just give the place that WOW factor!!

Lols.

I found some pics of the inside of his home

If a bird is sitting on a wire or in a tree for an extended length of time - I'm gonna check it out.

And if I see a view master with wings flying around - I'm gonna catch it and proceed to hack it into something I can use.

Never thought about it. I do suppose though that some scenes were spoofing Zero Hour.

Sad to see Peter Graves there. He was a great actor.

Ken, I believe it was in front of the Bamboo Club.

Fraulein, Good question. I believe he was Radio Shop or Radar Shop, something in FMS. Really nice guy.

I'm not sure about the girls name.

wil

I'll forward the pic to the parents. If he was in FMS, then my dad may know who it is. At first glance I had thought it was my dad because of the haircut and ears. lol

HOT-CHA! congrats.

Any info on what he did? Could help narrow down who it is.

That should be an interesting story.

Yes. My interest is peaked.

So who drove the underwear hippy to hide out at the university grounds?

Did you ever see that stinking hippie's public access broadcast - I never knew whether to laugh or just shoot the moron.:eek:

Terrorists. Really.

Why yes I did see his public access show. Someone has posted a part of it on youtube. I actually had the unfortunate incident of meeting him, when I worked at the library. The guy who pays no taxes came in to use what my taxes pay for. He wanted to use the free internet offered by the library. I told him no, and to GTFO. You could bathe in a Taiwanese "bangzhao"(sp?) ditch and copulate with farm animals for a year and still not smell half as bad as that guy.

Wonder if I should link that youtube post - so others can experience the smelly hippy.

I also miss the "no weapons of war" or "no weapons of mass destruction" gomers that would protest outside of the gate a couple of times a month, I really had fun with them:D

Again. Terrorists. After the attacks on Spet. 11, 2001, the base gate(s) became less tolerant of the people that would protest. Unfortunately "we" also lost that nice friendly guy who would sit and wave hello at everyone going in and coming out. I believe he lived in the trailer park right there outside of the Wyoming gate.

I thought that the 19th here at Hurlburt were going to retain the schoolhouse for the Ospreys, but then again I have been pretty much out of the loop since 2004.

Maybe. ??? I know that the 58thSOW has been really pushing to get more training areas for their Ospreys, here. (Which was the reason for their little show a few weeks back) The conditions here are similar to Afghanistan.

East mountains huh? My first year in Albuquerque I lived in a druggie/hooker/human reject apartment (cheapest place in town - for a reason) on East Central over by the Comfort inn East. Used to be called Shalako apartments, but they changed the name sometime after I moved out.

Wow. You have to be tough to have lived there. The Shalako. The old sign is still up waaaay in the back. But that place has now become home to the semi-homeless and druggies.

So your going to Kirtland and the 58th eh?

Are you sure your going to be a Herk guy? They have MC-130H, MC-130P, HC-130 AND used to have MH-53's, still have MH-60's and UH-1's.

Don’t know what happened to the 53's, I am pretty sure they all went to the bone yard; it may be possible that your going to end up with rotary wing engines.

Might be a possibility that he could end up working on the CV22. That is their latest toy.

If you’re into the outdoors stuff, this place is great - lots of hunting, camping off-roading and other things to do;

This is true. If you consider shooting at your neighbors, hunting. You can do all of that in the East Mountains.

if you’re into random homicide of stupid liberals, you will find it a very target rich environment J

Don Schrader (you remember the naked dirty smelly bathes in his own urine hippy guy who would stand outside the gate and protest every day) Well.. he pretty much keeps to the university area since 2001. However, the well to do pretentious toyota prius driving liberals have well made up for his disappearance. But they have pretty much been sticking to "why are our children failing school?" business lately.

Seems like there is always a dead hooker being found on the West mesa or in car trunks as well, pretty cool!!

True. > http://www.krqe.com/generic/news/crime/crime_west_mesa_bones_search

Eleven total.

Although it would be nicer news to hear that the aforementioned pretentious toyota prius driving liberals were found dead on the mesa.

Oh and don’t forget the rocket scientists, those bozo’s are about the most socially retarded people you will ever meet.

Hey now...watch it....there is one that is not socially retarded. Currently upgrading old fashioned methods of destruction,to be delivered via Herk. Blu daisies are really neat.

The cost of living there is pretty high though for some strange reason; when you get to the base, make sure you visit the housing office and get the crime rate printout to help make your decision on where to live.

It is pretty quiet in the east mountains. But you spend your money on fuel to town.

The only thing I will reload, is the dishwasher. Call me lazy - but I just "save the empties and return them for the deposit".

Except in the case of one rental car where we used the roof for a rest and left the trunk open. Then all of the empties ended up in the trunk. And I wasn't gonna bother cleaning that out. Gave something for the rental car people to wonder about when they were cleaning it.

I found the "wait for it....wait for it...wait..." came much sooner than I was expecting it.

If you add a Carl Stalling soundtrack to it - that just makes it better.

If you listen to the tape the KIA’s were friendly forces (volunteers) so while they were not very smart digging out the 155 they were trying to make it better.

This was what I noticed. But the video is mislabeled.

It is unfortunate that those individauls have probably become a teaching video for many more troops. :/

If you read what this guy said on the right as the video is playing he says they were miles above Iraq. Couldn't have been too many miles since they were depressurized. ;-) Actually probably less than 2. lol

More than one mile, makes it plural. :P

Shhhhhyeah...that medvac aint gonna help much.

Those do not look like "ragheads" to me, though.

Features NSFW language from the ATCs

"I've got enough to film the crash."

That second pic is just amazing. You should probably watermark them.

Those are fantastic pics.

Bless him and the crew to come home safe.

Interesting discussion concerning drogue beaters and choppers.

Has anyone seen the video showing a Helo being refueled and it makes a sudden move up which causes the blade to cut off the refueling probe.

If you haven't let me know and I'll see if I can find it.

I was looking for images of the V22 from a little soirée, the 58th Special Operations Wing put on a few weeks back. It was one of those "we would like to use your property to conduct our training exercises" kind of deals. I took a few good pics and film - but wanted something better.

Anyways... I found this lovely PDF at their website.

http://www.aetc.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-070103-004.pdf

At first glance it looks as though the USAF owns every bit of airspace, except for Deming, Taos, and southern Colorado. Not much in Deming. And Taos is full of liberal peace loving anti gun war hippies and artists. So no loss there.

I like to imagine that the poster was kind of drawn up like this:

"We need to fly out of the state once in a while. Can we use the airspace here?"

AF - "No. that's ours."

"what about here?"

AF - "Ours."

"Here?"

AF- "Sorry. Ours."

"What about.."

AF - "Nope."

"How about here?"

AF - "Oh yeah...no..wait. No. That is also ours."

To corrupt and internet meme - "All your state belong to us."

oh -the video I took of the "show n' tell" from the Osprey. It was out in Macintosh. It was extremly cold and windy.

53's where always interesting to refuel, Once we even had a pair of F-14's pop up and stabilise out of nowhere in WESTPAC looking for some gas. Just curious about the V-22, has anybody tanked them?

From my understanding (after speaking to one of their pilots) they are "pretty fuel efficient". In hindsight I am now kicking myself for not even thinking of asking him this question.

Huh?

"What the Captain means"...

Fantastic, magnificent, amazing, awesome, the sh*t, the bomb, grand, breathtaking, splendid, tremendous, remarkable, amazing, awe-inspiring, astounding, super, and neato keen.

The term "made of win" follows the theme of using 'made of *insert word here*' as a way to describe something. It is slang, usually found on the internet, although quite uncommon at present.

Although it doesn't seem to follow English grammar properly, win can be defined as a noun, so it isn't always grammatically incorrect, it's just nonsense.

However, sentences such as made of awesome are grammatically incorrect, but are still used.

Used in a sentence "The Lockheed C130 Hercules aircraft is made of win."

If you wrote a loadmaster's job description, no one would believe it!

Nice window office. Get to kick people and items out the door.

How? Was he pretending he was a gunslinger?

the gun smacked

him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash.

Showed him who's boss. :P

Made of Win.
