I wear the soccer shorts where I want! And you said those pictures were just for us, in private, Gilligan. Now go ahead and "unmoor the mainmast", First Mate.

Dude, tprops are amazing. I get weird vectors/bad descents and say 'man, I miss throwing* the condition levers forward and dropping the gear!'

Those qualities aren't limited to just tprops. There are some jets out there that allow you to do the same thing. And even better, there are places that have those jets that let you to do those things.

I don't know how many she has, (looks pretty loaded to me- but I have no idea what else could be mounted on her) but that is just badass plus.

Believe it or not, there are three stations unused in that shot that could be utilized (they're just above that top row of GBU-38s).

Nothing wrong with wanting to operate a nice new jet. Personally, I'd much rather be in one than a beat up old POS any day. Not sure why all the chest thumping for flying old clapped out WSCODs.

I love flying the Brasilia, but "clapped out" is probably an accurate description.

Lemme see. Yesterday's scorecard for my 5-leg, go-home day:
  • Late arriving aircraft (MX control, aircraft routing)
  • Maintenance swap
  • Maintenance delay
  • Air return
  • Maintenance delay
  • Maintenance swap again
  • Maintenance delay at outstation
  • "There's now flow to Los Angeles, expect wheels up in twenty more minutes" (this matters when it's a 20 minute flight)
Pretty sure that shiny jets don't do that (as much, jokes about the thing being the Embraer 180 aside). Shiny jet, please!

Don't worry, some people who do haven't fully internalized the bold-faced warnings yet.

"Ai yo, don't do that."

At my whiskey-swillingest, poop-kickingest, self-destructivest (probably about 15 years ago), I couldn't have kept up with Gulley in a race to burn down some Cowboy Killers. I fully concede defeat on that front. Seriously, you should watch him smoke sometime...it's like a visual manifestation of the eidos of Compulsion.

Amazing. I took a closer look and I think I found the areas that you are referencing. So impressive. The "feel" of such an aircraft fully loaded (speaking of the weight) must be interesting to fly. None of us will ever get to even sit in such an aircraft while on the ground. You've had a wonderful career as a professional aviator. I think it's terrific that you will start part two in civilian life in the near future. I sincerely wish you well in that endeavor.

So after flying with Rocketman99 I completely see why he and Gully are linked at the hip.

It's all making sense. Two Tazmanian devils I tell ya.
