I’m 104% sure he’s a foreign agent as he had a habit of asking probing questions that don’t warrant an answer, nor do I understand why he’s on this forum for the strict sake of political argument.

Oh fuck you.
I think it's pretty clear he didn't see that.
True. I see McConnell is now launching protest votes against some cabinet nominees IOT somehow resuscitate his legacy at the end of his life, and while he's out of power...bc he's uniquely responsible for where we're at.
Where are you getting that $5B net worth figure from? It would be cool to see some tax returns from over the years, but (oh well) that norm is busted now.
I guess we can now expect presidents to launch meme coins 3 days prior to inauguration and not know who's buying it.
Well of course. Makes me feel sorry for our runway bound brethren.
I've actually tanked off that fat POS (no offense Herk guys, it's still a cool plane), at like 12k ft in the NAOPA off a -352 bird at maybe 207 knots when I was a cone at VMFAT-101. It was, how do you say, miserable?
That seems too fast. Probably need a manlier probe.
Fun fact, in the Old Grumman Drumstick, to tank off the 130, you had to do this weird "not found in NATOPS" procedure where you selected flaps 20, then pulled the flaps/slats circuit breaker before it got to 20 so that your flight controls didn't shift to the dirty mode. Only did it a couple times. Prowler flight control system was designed by a troupe of drunken orangutans.
The really bad thing about being an AR instructor in a big cargo helo is that you get to take up a clown car of dudes in the back to knock out x's for 4-6 hrs in the Whiskey airspace, bc it's the one time of the month you get a C-130...I'm sure the Herk dudes love flying just above stall speed for that long too. 😃
Gross. Sounds about as pleasurable as your no slats CVN approach. Watched that once, it was like the Concorde landing on a boat. I think it must have tugged ole mom an extra 2 knots for a second at impact
edit: also, I love when threads get jacked to talking about cool stuff like flying gray airplanes of any flavor

That would probably be a good thread split for "not found in NATOPS" stuff. It's inherent in every airframe...probably more in old-school platforms with CB fuck-fuck games...like mine.
No flaps / slats out was even worse as I recall. That NATOPS penguin fell off the iceberg long ago though so it's possible I may be misremembering.
