Why is the deuce-5 on the DND list? Old, unarmored, better available transports?
Do you ever get to go for a fly and drive the airplane [unofficially, of course]? Paybacks can be hell, for the right 0-5... ;)
Thirds, also cell-free here. I don't understand why everyone here has one of those bloody things to their ear every momemt of every day. Insecurity? [Is it the 'I've gotta be talking to somebody or I'm nobody syndrome?'] Post my vote on yea for emergency, nay for BS'ing for no good reason!
NEVER!!!!! I never fly military unless REQUIRED and the option is NJP or courts martial. I would NEVER fly in a fighter. Period. Paragraph. Turn the page. Amen.
I literally wrote the book on parts of the avionics of several, back in the DOD contractor days. I know too much. Hydrazine, sitting on a rocket, flying a fuel can surrounding a hot jet engine... They aren't safe. Neither to the bad guys on the ground, or good guys in the air. One little bitty mistake, and you become a superheated grease spot. Back in the day, I've picked up remains/equipment from a high performance jet that met an untimely end.
NOPE! Thanks for playing, though.

Don't know. I heard that on NPR, and then checked with transportation to confirm. NPR actually got one right.
No reason given, just the factoid confirmed.
