Fixed!
Based on the spewage, it looks like the SOF will need to check his adherence to the “bottle to throttle” rule.

That’s hee-larious. And nasty.
Geez, I gotta get out of here and actually get some work down today.
Well done to all my little Air Force buddies. We’re all so happy that you can do all those neato things you do….. in diapers.
You missed a spot.

Everyone knows bottle-to-throttle, but how many know the rings-to-wings rule that comes into play after an airport lunch of beer-batter onion rings?
Daveg,
That would depend on how many seats there are in your aircraft. If there is just 1 then there is no restriction.
It’s the exact opposite in reality. The Air National Guard is sending guys to Pred training that probably fathered some of the USAF kids going through the pipeline. Assuming their moms hung out in port. I had some of my guys go through a class, and the min age in their group was 18 for the ball operator while the max age was well past mid-field and almost within field goal range, so to speak.
A cheap shot at the Zoomies, however “cute”, is still a cheap shot…Best
“Bottle to Throttle” reminds me of something from my days as a Boston cab driver. One hot summer Saturday one of my colleagues took an empty bottle of Old Grand-Dad, filled it full of dark iced tea, and drove around all day steering with his right hand and hanging the bottle out of the drivers’ window with his left hand, occasionally swigging from the bottle and keeping the label facing outwards.
All day.
Not one cop took notice.
I just love that kid. My favorite of the real commercials is when he says of the clown he’s rented something like, “I really underestimated the creepiness.” Like most TV commercials I’m not sure what exactly they’re advertising, but I’m entertained.
On a slight thread jack, if you haven’t been to the FlightDeck lately, Jeopardy and I both posted over there today. Give it a look.
Ron, know what you mean. When I was in college, I worked for a mobile DJ company. We did gigs all over Md/DC/NoVA. In DC you could drive as fast as you wanted and stop lights were advisory. As long as you weren’t shooting out the window, they didn’t care.
Minor threadjack: anyone live in PDX area? I got 25 hours there Sat/Sun. Plan on Jakes and Kells for wallet damage and minor liver bruising, wondering if anyone has any other recommendations?
Have a great weekend!

Hey Barry…it might be a scoche helpful for the uninitiated if you enlightned them as to just where PDX might be…you know just in case they wanted to make plans to E & E. Best
OK Snake, I’ll bite. Why Barry? You’ve used it twice now…
PDX is Portland Oregon. If they needed to E&E, they would prolly know that…
Nose:
Vector follows, south to Powell’s, best smut locker on earth. Really.
DIRECTIONS
from PDX head south on I-5:
Exit I-405 south and cross the river. Exit Everett Street (this will be your first exit after crossing the river). Left turn on Everett (your first legal left after exiting the highway) and continue to 9th Ave. Right Turn on 9th. Travel 2 blocks to Couch Street; right turn on Couch. The City of Books awaits you on the left, occupying the entire block between 10th and 11th. To use Powell’s customer parking, take a left at 11th – you’ll find the entrance to the parking garage halfway along the block on your left.
Best way to reactivate dormant cortical cells, neural synnapses and with most possible coolness .

Nose, Sweet Jesus … I would think that the answer is as obvious as the nose on your face… Barack H. Obama as a wee lad and for understandable reasons, went by the all- American, non- African name of “BARRY” …get it now young grass-hopper ? Best
Nose, If you ever fly into BDL or ALB let me know… need to execute my E & E contingencies… ICSFTH …Best
PS,Just asking … are you qualified to fly east of the contential devide?
Jug,
Roger Ball. Thanks for the gouge, but I’m foot only (or on that socialist railroad that runs through down town). But I’ll keep the directions in case I ever need said “Hydraulic study materials.”
Snake,
I’m not kidding – this is funny as hell, I am in ALB right now. Just had dinner and a beer (or three) at some local holeinthewall.
Sounds like you better bug out!
As for flying east of the continental (notice correct spelling) divide, I spent my first 15 years of flying mostly east of the mighty Mississippi. I’m allergic to mountains.
Nose,Indeed this funny as hell, someone has to be in ALB and it might as well be you. My Bride, a/k/a , she who must be obyed, flew out of ALB this AM… that said…many thanks for the spelling correction…you pedantic Pecker-Wood. Best
Snake,
I’m clear of ALB now (wayyyy too early too!) You can return to quarters. Stand down from Red Alert, set condition Zebra throughout the ship.
Also, thanks for the PP Award. It’s my first. I’d like to thank the foreign press, and the academy…
Snake,
obyed? It sounds kinky. Any details you’d like to offer up?
