Wow. Lots of hate today. I'll have to condense all of my comebacks into one simple reply....
Go fuck yourselves.
Smiles, as always.

Ah the motto of the Harrier community...
We even had JOPA patches made on WESTPAC with that exact sentiment.
if anyone asks you why you declared an emergency, you can always just shrug sheepishly and say "well the E handle was out!" I like it.
Okay, I couldn't resist. P-3 guys at Whidbey. WTF. We know you're aiming for the gear because we hear you say you're aiming for the gear. If you're good enough to be able to hit and dislodge the gear than hit the numbers and get the f off the runway in a reasonable amount of time. UHF, its safer for everyone if you use it. I know you have reliability and maint issues with them. Its an SA sump for everyone else in the airspace.
Rant over, now I have a question. I sat at the hold short this evening around 1830 watching what I think was a -46 bird go around and around in the pattern. On three occasions the dude on the radio called for a full stop and three occasions the airplane did not stop. From the outside observer (and from someone who has spent a considerable amount of time watching airplanes land) it appeared that the dude driving the bus couldn't make it happen. First one, super high and lined up over the hold short. Second one was just as high with a huge push over at the numbers that was followed by a wave off and the third one he just kept pushing and pulling the nose all the way down the runway, never actually touching down. I've been on the platform at night and seen guys go 'round and 'round but we're talking about an 8,000 foot piece of concrete with lights and lots of markings on it - and it was LIGHT out. My question is - is that normal? How does a guy get past the FRS if he cant land his airplane?
Peace, I'm out.

Sing it, brother. This leads me to discount the "VP-30" excuse that zab tried to sell me a few months back. I only have so much gas...
I don't fly down at NIP much on the Navy side anymore, but seriously, once you're on the runway, just get your tail across the hold short so the rest of the Navy can fly sometime.
