Snapped a pic of the RJ before flying today, and then a picture while we were in an orbit over Idaho.

Idaho is a beautiful state.Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|Comment

No, but I will keep a look out for them. I haven't been able to figure out if the Open Skies and Constant Phoenix are the same planes, I think they might be. I'm not even qualified to be a nav on those because they have different engines, but it sounds like they do a pretty neat mission.sigpicComment

different missions, but both deal with treaty monitoring. I'd assume one of them is pretty busy right now.
How do you like offutt?Comment
-
Offutt is good to me, I like Omaha alot and being a nav on the RJ is a pretty sweet job. Have you been here before?sigpicComment
-
nope, but I might ride in the back of a constant Phoenix someday.
I liked looking at the RJ's when I was at the died... funny looking plane, but cool looking at the same time.
Edit: what kind of car stuff is there to do around offutt?Comment
-
I'll be going to the Deid this fall, looking forward to it. There's mid-america motorplex about 25 mins away in Iowa, and the local SCCA does auto-x and rally-x. Since Omaha is a pretty major city out here in the midwest it works out as a hub for people in the country to meet up to do car stuff. There isn't as much of a "scene" as when I lived in TX or MD, or even CO, but there's definitely things to do for a car guy. Also, Offutt has the biggest auto hobby shop in the AF.
One thing that sucks is the potholes. Winter does a number on the roads here.sigpicComment

For anyone nearby Langley AFB in Virginia, come to the air-show this weekend and come say hi. I'm on the crew taking the "Rivet Joint" there.sigpicComment

US pilots avoid jail in fatal Brazil air collision case
NTSB Report / Summary (Findings e Probable Cause na pagina 3 e 4)
While I trust the NTSB's findings I cannot help but taste some bias in the manner in which it's presented.

I was in Qatar Feb 2010, flew a refueling missions and some where for RC135. I am retiring in a few days and will return to the airlines hopefully, I'm doing my requals now to make myself marketable again. Flew for a few carriers, JetBlue was last one in 2003 before I went full active duty. Cant wait to get back in the saddle.
see if this works, some pics of me in the KC and a fueling run, and along with pics of the B1's there
