TFR - temporary flight restriction set up for the president. Big no-no zone to fly in.

It's dimensions are set by NOTAMS, notices to airmen. Pilots are required to check these before they go fly.

Violating a TFR can get your pilots license suspended, can get you arrested, or in extreme cases, shot down.

I've never seen one, but I have seen something hot on FLIR ripping through the mountains in NY pretty damn fast. I'm not saying aliens but I've never seen anything that agile.

The DOD likely had lots of tech they don't tell lowly stick-monkeys like me.

You're damn right.

That guy is a legend. His CO had to go apologize to the media saying this is not a cultural thing in the navy. His callsign was "Tess" and his last name was Stickles.

100% true story.

Flair, but no flare. We plunked the jet down on the aircraft carrier deck to avoid the tailhook snagging the arresting wires mid-flight and slamming the plane to the deck. We made fun of Air Force types with the saying, "Flare to land...squat to pee." KEK I imagine the current crowd of Navy folks would get cancelled pretty hard if they said that in today's PC environment.

Still lookin for that Top Gun ll even if it is compromised by the dang CHICOMMS and despite Tom Cruise being an adherent of a subversive mind control cult. Hopefully the Hollyweird woketards won't fuck this up too bad?

I think the USAF does shit like this. To be honest I don't know.

In the Navy we are all "sailors," but it's generally not appreciated by pilots.

I think all airforce personnel are called airmen like army people are soldiers

The term "Airman" is still used in the civilian world (Private pilots, etc).

"It's BRRRRT BRRRRT, thank you!"

I rabbit hole into A-10 videos on YT all the time. What an amazing airframe. Sure, F-16s, F-18's, F-35s are sexy race cars, but an A-10 will fuck your day up pretty efficiently.

Oh yeah I know. During Obama they were trying to get rid of all the -men ratings for our sailors.

Radioman, yeoman, aircrewman, etc. They actually got rid of them for like 8 months before big Navy was like this is stupid and brought it back.

Obama droned the shit out of foreign countries but all he cared about was having a PC military.

The argument is annoying because the word "woman" still has man in it, and women, men. It's just short form for both, it fits for both.

I wonder how much damage a rainbow haired drone operator could do if they went rogue. They would never do that though, they are known for their mental stability.

I knew of someone who never even did a runup, and one time, landed in the water near the airport because of it.
